Featured this week another Space Cowboy who brings it. Every. Single. Time. A man who has never missed DJing a single Breakfast of Champions. The one and only Brad Robinson. 

"It was another great New Year’s Day and the sunshine. Thanks to everyone that came out for Breakfast of Champions this year and those who stayed late to hear me play after the sun went down.  Please check out the Sylvan Esso remix that I put together on the first track." -Brad Robinson

RIPEcast Brad Robinson - Breakfast of Champions '25

This set has been in development for a long time. Originally arranged for 2024 campout season, it was shelved for nearly a year. More tracks were acquired and integrated in 2025, abd a bunch that were originally in didn't make the final cut. I've been taking some time off from DJing while learning to play guitar and pursue other creative outlets, but I felt the inspiration to dust off the decks and finally get this set finished. I'm pleased with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it! If you do, drop a <3, repost and follow me. I'll try to not let an entire year go by before the next recording gets published!

Recorded live just outside Yosemite National Park at the stunning Spinning Wheel festival grounds, this set kicked off the main dance floor with my signature blend of sexy, bass-driven beats—designed to get you out of your head and deep into your body.

Hello all! Dancing Mandy and I are pleased to finally release our live recording of our tag team set at unSCruz 2025, Saturday night on the Luna Stage! Since we were slotted to play the closing set we decided to go ALL OUT and bang it out with some odes to the late night after hours that a lot of us grew up in. We decided to keep it spicy and play 1x1 (as in, we each played only 1 song at a time) which was a lot of fun because it gave us more opportunities to dig through our digital Rolex and find a suitable track to mix into the last one. 

Please enjoy & thanks for listening!

Dancing Mandy b2b DJ Denise: Live at unSCruz 2025 - Luna Stage

I’ve been sitting on this way too long. In 2024, I attended Sunsets and Shadows @sunsets-shadows and met so many people who are now my Reno family. Fast forward to 2025 summer and I was asked to play the first sunrise. The assignment: “deep dark and groovy” is the sound of the event. But 6am. So I took that as a challenge to create a journey of something that has two layers of deep dark and groovy, and light and optimism. This is one of my favorite sets I’ve done and I hope you enjoy it too!

kev/null - Live at Sunsets and Shadows Chapter 3 (sunrise set)

A peak-time one-hour set recorded live at the Burning Man Denver Decompression event (2025), performed as Elite Force aka Simon Shackleton.

This mix has a raw intensity to it – genre-crossing with driving basslines, twisted grooves, and cinematic edges – designed for full throttle lift-off. 

It was such a fun night to be a part of. I've been part of the extended Burning Man community for over 15 years now and it's always an honour to share what I do with so many beautiful, creative souls.

For the inside scoop on future events, pop-up sets, tracklists and more, join the Discord over at: https://discord.gg/5GaPYNeejS where you can also score a download of this mix.

You can catch me in San Francisco on 08 NOV 2025 and in Boulder, Colorado on 22 NOV 2025 playing open-to-close sets.

My set from Brass Tax's 25th annual 6:66 party.  I dressed as Soul Twain (Mark Twain up top, Soul Train downtown) and played a mix of gospel & disco house.  Really happy with this one - was a great groove to help kick off the best daytime party of the year.  Shout out to Dedit for music inspiration.

Simon Shackleton – CHPTR 003
Ambient, SloMo, Psychedelic House, Nu Disco, Breaks, Electro, Tech House & Techno

The latest chapter in the CHPTR series took place on Saturday 8th November in San Francisco.
 
Definitely not one I'll forget as we decided to drive there from Denver at the last minute to avoid airport issues during the protracted government shutdown ... a round trip of 2800 miles with some absolutely splendid conversation and scenery en route.

The VOID system in the basement of Monarch was a joy to play on, and the packed house bought the vibes once again as only San Francisco can!

If you'd like to grab a download and full playlist, these will be available from my Simon Shackleton Discord at https://discord.gg/5GaPYNeejS or alternatively you're always welcome to buy me a coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/simonshackleton and I'll send you the details from there.

As always, thank you for listening, sharing, commenting etc...

Dao & Pwny - Live At FnF XX - 2016

Welcome to my SoundCloud page, how nice of you to stop in! 

I was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area and feel lucky to be residing in SF in an especially lush and fertile environment for electronic music culture at this moment. Lately I've been mixing deep house, tech house, minimal..... but as always, tracks are whatever I find atmospheric, well produced, and/or have a certain vibe/groove.  When I hear a track for the first time, my jaw hits the floor and I yell "WTF is THIS?!?" ...that's the track I want to play, all of the time! :-D

In 2003 I started playing vinyl with the intention of mixing and DJing.   I switched to CDJs in 2010 -  vowing never to travel to the desert with records again - which was becoming a yearly phenomenon.              
As much as I was loathe to abandon the vinyl format, the realization that vinyl is not environmentally sustainable, that I would be able to collect more music, and support more artists by moving to digital solidified my conviction.  

I always ID tracks on my mixes I post to the best of my ability, and take care to keep notes during any session - whether it's in the bedroom or playing out live - for the purpose of crediting artists and passing on the enjoyment of great music to the listener.  I hope you enjoy some of the music that moves me.   And, please, please support the artists we love by purchasing their tracks!  :)

You will find several tracks repeated in the mixes I post, which is unorthodox. I broadcast a live DJ set most Tuesday mornings ( Brunch With Pwny on www.mixlr.com/pwny ) and gig actively. I have tracks that survive the test of time and when it's the right time to use an older track, I will do so. Most mixes I post now are recordings of the live broadcast or of a gig.

For booking or correspondence you may send a message to daoandpwnybooking@gmail.com

PLURzzzz!
