Live Mixes

Garage Mahal

I was sitting in a bar when the original Lipps Inc. version came over the jukebox.  As I nodded my head in time, it struck me that how chopped up the elements of the song are: guitar, vocals, strings.  Specifically, none of those instruments are playing at the same time.  I paid my tab and rushed home, deciding that I should make a funkier refresh of it my next project.  I got a version cobbled together in a couple weeks, but needed some additional help to make it club-able.

I was lucky enough to be able to bring it to Lee Coombs as mixing project.  He did a masterful job of getting my edits and samples up to snuff, hence is he is credited as "Mixed and additional production by."  Many thanks Lee!

Lipps Inc. - Funkytown (Rumblemunk Remix)

So happy to be invited to play this year's Friends And Family Summer Campout 2022! Here's my set from Saturday poolside, and I hope it brings you lots of memories of that sunny warm day!

The last track is my latest bootleg "Shake That Thing" available for FREE download elsewhere on this Soundcloud page.

Live @ FnF 2022 Saturday Poolside

My alter-ego Rumblemunk was DJing an after-party when a friend named Neil asked me to make a mix of the biggest, baddest, bassiest beats I had. It took me a few weeks to comb through my collection and add new stuff until I was happy that it would make him happy. I gave it to him and a couple days later received this text message: "Oh brother, that's some filthy bass..."

Fair warning though: subwoofers are required.



Rumblemunk - Neil's Big Bottom Mix

DJ Jive is the person that I credit with starting me in the SF DJ scene, as well as the breaks and bass scene.  It's only fitting that at his and his beautiful wife's farewell party (they moved to Hawaii) that I honor him with the biggest, best breaks that I know how to play (including a remix I produced).  Love you buddy!

Live @ FiX Aloha To Jive & Synnora

This was THE song that got me into listening to Beck.  Just a little touch-up to make it bigger for a dance floor.  This one gets people singing along with you!

Beck - Loser (Rumblemunk Remix)

Take a strutting 303, slide in a bouncing sub line, top with some old-school funk drums and serve with some classy horn stabs, and you have this, the Acid Bounce.  Take it from me, the Rumblemunk, this track will make 'em strut.  Don't believe me?  Well, here are some quotes from famous DJ/producers that haven't heard this track or know me:

Who the fuck are you?  Rumble-what?
- A.Skillz

- Krafty Kuts

Also, leave a comment with your guess of the source of the vocal sample in the track.  First person that gets it right wins their choice of a new Rumblemunk t-shirt from http://cafepress.com/hermiteer

Rumblemunk - Acid Bounce

I know, it's late to just NOW be posting a set for Burning Man 2010, but it took a bit to get it right.  This is not the actual recording from Wednesday night on the Garage Mahal art car, but rather the same songs played in my home studio the following week.  Since I don't edit my sets after recording them, if there is a terrible mistake I have to re-record the whole thing.  Think of it this way, it took the Beatles 47 times to get the perfect take of "Penny Lane".  This took about 12 takes, but I left a couple small mistakes in, just so it sounds human.

Thanks for the Garage Mahal crew for letting me play on the art car, a first for me at Burning Man!  We had that bus rocking!  Seriously, my stomach was ill afterwards.  Thankfully, the DJ booth is only on the 2nd floor not the crow's nest...

Rumblemunk - Burning Man 2010 Mix

My 2am set of the best breaks from 2012, including my original track "Keep It Moving" right at the beginning of the set, then my Public Enemy "Bring the Noise" bootleg as the 3rd track.

Live @ FiX the End of the World, December 21, 2012

A down-tempo, story-driven breakbeat groove with lots of soul.  Perfect to start a funky set or bring down the early-morning crew.

The amazing thing about this track is that the vocals required only two edits.  They just sort of magically fit into place for almost 100% of the song.
