This week on The RIPEcast, we welcome DJ Kimba to the 1s and 2s. Enjoy, Everyone!

Kimba is a fresh face and has been gracing the decks with her warrior-like presence throughout California from her home in San Francisco throughout the West coast from San diego to Seattle and everywhere in between. Kimba brings a sound best described as Elegant Warrior Breaks, Drum&Bass & Techno ~ a fusion of Sweet and Heavy sounds programmed to take you on a journey through every mix.  She brings deep dark basslines intertwined with melodic and musical themes to touch a cord in every dancer. 

Kimba always finds a way to incorporate the musical and instrumental nature of her first influences from Deep House into the heavy forces of bass, breakbeats, drum&bass and even techno.  Getting people onto the dancefloor and seeing smiling, dancing people is really what makes her happy to be a DJ.

Ghost Ship VII Asylum 2014 was as over the top as it gets! Two nights of amazing music, sick art installations, Thunderdome and thousands of freakish costumes. Slotted for a 1am prime time set on the Unimog meant it was prime time to drop some serious bombs to sea of gyrating Halloween freaks! So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt cuz you never been on a ride like this before. - Sol

"Ghost Ship was such an amazing event for me this year!  Lots of love went into to it and having so many friends supporting made both nights super fun!  This was my first Ghost ship in a few years and was great to be back!  I don’t think I have played for that many people ever and was a real treat!  I hope you enjoy the mix!  Much love! " - Tamo

It was another amazing year for the Space Cowboy and Sunset Promotions Ghostship event.  I tip my hat to all of the event organizers who took things to the next level by bringing in some of the best sound, art, visual, and entertainment.  I took the Hoe Down stage Friday at midnight to a packed dance floor ready to shake something loose.  Special thanks to all of my Smells Like Teen Spirit cheerleaders in the front row.  Enjoy this set of funky, banging house! - Brad Robinson

EXCLUSIVE MIX: MAFIA KISS

Working on Ghost Ship is one of the most concurrently challenging and rewarding jobs I have the privilege to take on every year. The work lasts 9 months from initial planning to final thank you cards. In the midst of the focus put in to being a producer of the event, I have also to be aware of the responsibility of actually playing at this event. With upwards of FIFTY DJ's on the bill, representing the city's finest crews, one certainly wants to give their best effort. The fact that thousands attend an annual event that has no real "headliners" also allows the San Francisco underground to truly shine at Ghost Ship. Thus, all of my friends and colleagues from our local scene plan their sets for months and everyone brings their "A" Game. And to me, the pressure to impress these peers is far more palpable than any audience expectations one could imagine. "How you did" at Ghost Ship carries on in people's minds for a long time around here. This year, we added some additional firepower in the persons of our longtime heroes James Lavelle (Unkle) and Afrika Bambaataa. And since I was scheduled to follow Bambaataa, one might think that the pressure was turned up a notch or two even higher. 

But contrary to that expectation (and my own), I hit the stage feeling nothing but relaxed and positive. I had closed for some stars before, including Metallica, P-Funk, and even Bambaataa on several occasions previously, which helped. But what really helped was the incredible energy in the room from people who were completely blissed-out by the wonder of the event. That I had some part to do with its successful execution filled me with a lot of pride and joy.  All of the worries, private fears, and pressure of the build faded away into a sea of smiles. 

For the set, you may notice that I consciously tried to bridge the gap between Bambaataa's legacy in hip hop and electro, that of the event's heavy breakbeat traditions, and the Halloween spirit. I also worked hard to make sure that UNKLE was represented in the set with their legendary DJ Shadow/Roots Manuva "GDMFSOB". This was also, strangely, the first set I had played in many months that was not a "theme set"… like the "All Radiohead", "All Talking Heads", "All Motown" sets I had found myself doing so often. This creative freedom just meant that I could have as much fun as I wanted to, play what I thought best fit the moment, and watch the room bug out. And bug out it did. Batshit crazy they were. Rarely have I received such positive feedback from a DJ set. Believe me, even after 20 years behind the decks, true gratitude does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. So thank you to the Bay Area community, all the people who worked on Ghost Ship Halloween, and also to my favorite podcast the RIPECAST for recording and putting out these sets. - MoPo

LADY WAKS & MUTANTBREAKZ FT KATHIKA - SOUNDBOY OUT NOW ON BEATPORT!!!

I have had the opportunity to play at BOC many times, but never before had I been given the chance to open the party at 6 am.  It was a unique feeling to start playing a completely empty room, but within minutes I watched as people literally came running into the main room and immediately started dancing.   The dance floor completely filled up in 15 minutes and the energy and vibe from the crowd was awesome.   I hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did.  Thanks to the Space Cowboys to continue to throw the best party of the year.  Rock on! - Clarkie

Clarkie RIPEcast - Live From BOC 2015

As a Brooklyn-based breaks DJ and producer of Vitamin B, NYC’s longest-running (and also only) breaks party, I always viewed Breakfast of Champions as the great white buffalo of parties. Could it be true, what they said? Did people really come out fully costumed first thing in the morning on New Year’s Day? Did they really shut down full city blocks? Were the numbers really in the thousands? Most important: did people really dance, or did they just stand there smoking cigarettes and taking selfies?

With curiosity in the critical cat-killing stage, my wife and I booked plane tickets and snagged ourselves posh accommodations on a friend’s air mattress in the Mission. Then something happened that made me have to change my pants twice…the Space Cowboys released the DJ line-up, and I was on it!

Playing Breakfast of Champions was an all-time dream come true. I was on at 11:30 in the side room at Mighty, and as soon as I dropped my first track the room filled with west coast friends I hadn’t seen in millennia (or, y’know, since Burning Man). Things got sweaty. Things got crunk. Booties were shaken and drinks were stirred. Asses were smacked (consensually, natch). Dudes got down. Shorty got low. I dropped Joe Walsh and the Doobie Brothers. There was even a guy on the couch who slept through the entire thing!

Afterward, I stumbled out into the blinding sunshine of SOMISSPO (which is a neighborhood? What?) and found myself in what was obviously heaven: a giant tent full of smiling, happy people…all dancing their asses off to sweet, sweet dirty breakbeats in the street in the middle of the day. The legend was true! And it was truly epic. 

Thanks, Space Cowboys, for giving me the chance to play the Actual Best Party Ever(TM), and thanks to everyone who came out and danced. I hope you enjoy listening to my set as much as I enjoyed spinning it for you.

"Rollin in Them Breaks" Livewire, Sounds oF the Aquarium, Esoteric, Big 404  (A MTG Prod.)

On Friday the 13th, 2015 I had the incredible honor of playing before one of my alltime DJ heroes, Nightmares on Wax at Mighty in San Francisco. I probably put more thought, care and preparation into this set than any since I opened for Metallica in 2012.  The plan was to create the vibe and allude to his style without ape-ing it, rinsing it, or in any way rocking too fast, too hard, or too bassy. Ya gotta let the headliner be the headliner. The fact that I managed to execute it reasonably well gave me a good deal of relief. The vibe in the room was one I will not soon forget and his appreciation for my work will make me smile for a long time. Anyways... this one (IMHO) is one for the books.

Live @ MightySF 2.13.15 - w/ Nightmares On Wax

This mix is dedicated to all my techno lovin' freaks.. With Desert Hearts right around the corner, I couldn't think of a better track selection to get ready for another journey of a lifetime. Lately, I've been insanely inspired by our community & talented friends. Everyone is starting to take it to the next level & it's truly incredible to see everyone grow as a family. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy some porkChop Suey!
