Greetings From Reno, Nevada (Volume One: September 2021)

Brass Tax had our own stage at BOC this year, tucked away from the fray up in a corner, and we couldn't have been happier with seeing all the beautiful (masked) faces who came by to say hello! In addition to being my first public appearance since NYD 2020, this is one of my favorite sets I've ever played, full of funky, soulful house, midtempo breaks, and groovy rolling basslines. We didn't get a recording at the festival, so I decided to recreate it live from Bowerbird. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

New Years Day 2022

This week's RIPEcast is from Space Cowboy's own DJ Deckard. Here's what he has to say for himself:

"Breakfast of Champions is consistently my favorite party of the year both to DJ and attend. I opened the outdoor main stage at 9am this year and for all intents and purposes got to play the sunrise set I had been desiring to play but never got the chance at Burning Man earlier in the year. I took it as an opportunity and honor to be able to set the tone for the morning and get the party off on the right foot. I loved getting to play more of a house oriented set with vocals and a block party feel towards the end of the set. I had a blast playing and hope it shows through in the set."

Bio:
Deckard began DJing in Seattle in 2000 and soon began playing gigs up and down the west coast. Upon moving to San Francisco in 2005 he fell in love with the electronic music scene which is so unique to the Bay Area. You can find him spinning at San Francisco institutions such as Mighty, Shine, Supper Club, Wish and the End Up. Deckard capped off a successful 2009 by joining up with the Space Cowboys Burning Man camp. Depending on the crowd, venue and time of day you might find him spinning downtempo lounge, funky big beat, tech house, electro or breaks.

DJ Deckard - Breakfast of Champions 2014

I had the pleasure of playing to the always beautiful sunsets on Koh Lanta, an island in Thailand at the Pangea Beach Bar. This was a great opportunity to put together a set of a lot of the chiller tracks I've been collecting over the last year or so.

This 2h30m set is a journey with the sun, starting off chill and, after the sun sets and the lights come on, a little bit more of a dance vibe with many throwbacks.

Thanks to Alex and @pangea-beach-bar-ko-lanta for having me play. If you're in Koh Lanta, check them ot for sunsets and for their Tuesday night parties where they bring in DJs from all over the world for a night of tech house and dancing.

Sunset Live at Pangea Bar, Koh Lanta, Thailand

We played this sunrise together almost exactly a year ago. It was the sunrise at the end of our https://soundcloud.com/campcharlieunicorns Unicorn Rampage at Leyenda Eterna 2015. Thank you so much Leyenda and ChinoSound for passing this mix over to me this week. 

Over the years, I played a few tag team sets with our little acorn. We would always say, its sort of weird how they work in this strange way. My theory was that we were 2 sides of a coin. He was this boy who knows how to be really emotional and I was this girl who was all about being really boss. LOL! Hearing every questionable mix (we were tired ok!) or funny song selection takes me back to these early morning hours. I'm glad I have this as a final goodbye to my friend <3 <3 <3

4 hours of a 5 1/2 set set recorded at Pyramid Lake, Nevada on 9-15-18 starting an hour before sunset.  Happy Birthday Al Pal!

I have always wanted to post one of my marathon sets.....!

Lush Bunny and I wanted to play a fun playful deep house set of cover songs while out on the Dusty Rhino for a sunset art tour at Burning Man.  This was my first time playing on an art car. Unfortunately Lushy didn't record his part, as he played first, so this was the part I played.

I played this set Friday morning at the Burn a bit before sunrise from 4-5am at my Burning Man camp Nutz.  It was a magical morning!  The tracks are all deep melodic house tracks that are soulful with lots of vocals.

Trust Fall here with Dulce, approaching an autumn trail down the bouncy path of tech house.  Imagine orange, red, brown leaves all around, as the dramatic intro sets a theatrical tone.  Buckle up and enjoy the roller coaster launch deep into dark rolling basslines, with a splash of tech funk - and a pinch of soul. If you liked the mix from last autumn, you'll love this one even better.  More of the same, except just a bit more gusto.  

(Big massive sloppy wet thank you to the FnF Music Committee, Brad and Waveworks + Radiant Atmospheres, plus every one on that dance floor.  Thank you for the kind privilege. Huge thanks to Sean Murray for the master assist!)
