No Place Like House, Episode 4: My opening set for The Scumfrog from Playa Favorites on December 27, 2013 at Public Works in San Francisco.  

This set is full of deep house love and awesome.  It is mellow and energizing, happy and reflective, awesome and awesome.  It starts in a dreamscape at the intersection of nostalgia and anticipation and gently takes you exactly where you need to go...

No Place Like House 4: DJ Dane at Playa Favorites with The Scumfrog - Public Works SF

This week's RIPEcast features Space Cowboy's one and only ShOOey who not only served up a rockin' set in one of our outdoor tents, but also helped serve up some much needed support for Food Bank SF as well. 

ShOOey says: 

"2013 was a year of big changes for me but one thing has not changed... Breakfast of Champions is *still* favorite party of the year! As always, it's a privilege to play such an amazing event and I was soaking in the love from my friends onstage and out on the dancefloor. After my set, I was so warmly greeted by smiles, hugs and kind words from new and old friends and I can't think of a better way to start the new year.

I'd like to thank the rock star volunteers who helped collect food and money for the San Francisco Food Bank. I spent a few hours at the food bank table and was in awe of the generosity of our community and attendees. A *HUGE* thank you to every single one of you that donated. We collected 450 pounds of food and over $9,500 in cash and online donations. The Space Cowboys matched every dollar for a grand total of a little over $19,000. We certainly helped provide a meal of champions for those in need!!!"

About ShOOey: 

ShOOey has been a staple in the San Francisco dance scene since 2003. You can find her and her infectious energy at Space Cowboys events playing breaks and house. She also dedicates her time DJ'ing in support of non-profit organizations like the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, Beats for Boobs and La Casa de las Madres. If you don't find her on the decks, you'll probably find her on a bicycle. :D

For this installment of my chill series I found inspiration the moment I heard a vocodered voice singing Hotel California in the Luxxury edit. A week later I heard AfroQBen's amazing remix of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith and I was off to the races. Being a New Wave kid as a teen I didn't get into many of these songs until my adult years and yet somehow I listen to this mix and it makes me feel like a teenager again. 

It's my birthday so please enjoy my birthday present to you!

Sounds of the Dusty Rhino, Episode 31: DJ Dane's sunrise set after Tycho on the Dusty Rhino at Burning Man 2015.

DJ Dane: Tycho Sunrise is one of my favorite moments of Burning Man and my entire year.  Thank you to the thousands of beautiful people that followed the Rhino out to the trashfence for smiles, the most amazing group hug I've been a part of and dawn dancing.  This past year, I've been so inspired by morning music and there was no set this burn that I put more love and care into than this one. It starts with ethereal wisps and wonders and slowly builds into a joyful ode to the day...Enjoy!

Happy Halloween friends! Here's my #Rocktober set of rock remixes and mashups from the HUSHconcerts stage at this year's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. 

See you at Ghost Ship this weekend! I'm playing Friday night on the Mog. Tickets are almost gone: http://bit.ly/GS2015sc

8Ball - When It's Raining - Dec 2015

When I heard reports of Bowie's death I assumed it was a grand hoax to compliment Blackstar, a hoax that would have fit well with the albums themes. But no, as reports continued to flood the web along with sentiments from fellow artists and performers I rounded on the realization that it was all true. What a shit morning. 

While I can point to the direct link between Space Cowboys and Bowie, I know it exists. His music and style influenced so many people in our group and the many vibes he created helped shape our aesthetics. A few of us started texting about the bad news and Andrea suggested putting together a tribute mix as a way of acknowledging all that The Thin White Duke meant to Space Cowboys. 

I want to add a disclaimer about this mix by saying I know it's not perfect and I know it leaves out so many awesome fucking songs. When I went looking for material I was surprised that—other than Let's Dance and Fame—there weren't many remixes out there. So I used what I could find, plus some originals, and at some point last night I decided I could either work on it forever or just be done. So it's done. It might be rubbish, but as Bowie says in the interview clip at the beginning of the mix, "All rubbish is wonderful."

Mancub's "King of the B Team" (2004)

I'm celebrating my lucky 13th year of DJ'ing and my birthday today with a new studio mix, Thirteen.  I dug through my library to find a few old songs that I love that haven't made it onto any published sets along with some fresher tracks.  I realized I have so many unpublished sets due to my unreasonable perfectionism and my goal is to publish sets more often!  

Thank you for all the continued support on the dancefloor over the years!  I feel so lucky to still be able to play some great parties here in San Francisco and beyond.

8ball - Don't Stop The Yacht... Rock

One of my most memorable sets in my 8 trips to Burning Man was at Bubbles & Bass in 2015.  If you were there that night, you'll know what I'm talking about.  

Despite my best laid plans, the playa had other plans for me.  My awesome friend Marvin scheduled me for his curated night at Bubbles & Bass called Bourbon & Breaks on Thursday night.  When I found out that I would have to miss BM because of work, Marvin adjusted the schedule without me in it.  When I contacted him at the last minute that I was indeed coming, he squeezed me back into the lineup!  My journey to Burning Man 2015 was nothing that I had expected but everything I could have asked for.  Perhaps that was the reason why I enjoyed my set so much at Bourbon & Breaks.  I left this set unreleased for almost 2 years and since I can't make it to Burning Man this year with my knee, I want to offer this recording from that night as a soundtrack to wherever your journey takes you, whether it be Burning Man, Oregon, or maybe just the office.  Enjoy!

ShOOey RIPEcast - Live From Bubbles & Bass BM 2015

"This mix is, among other things, a mark of the season, an ongoing fight for honesty, a need, a desire, a campfire, a peripheral vision, balance that isn’t a compromise, a thin blanket of snow, a tribute to Christopher Alexander, a dream seeking words, a roll across the shoulders, an acceptance of the unknown process, and a brush against the edges." - benchun

Waypoint - Burning Man Sunrise Set 2018

Boo! friends,
 
Without getting into the unfortunate and troubling details of its demise, this Halloween was the first time in over a decade that I didn’t play the annual Halloween party that originated with Space Cowboys and evolved to include and represent a giant intersection of the local community. Each year I was privileged to perform in venues filled with ambitious and inspiring art installations, and I enjoyed playing alongside some of the most talented DJs in the Bay and beyond

After learning the party had been canceled, I was thrilled to hear a subset of the organizers had rallied to throw a boat party with some of the top talent that had been booked for the original party. I worked out a short breaks set, uploaded it to USB, and pulled together a costume. And then got sick.

So, this is my 100% ship-less No Ship Halloween mix—the set I would’ve played at Lifeboat Halloween last Friday, if fate and germs hadn’t conspired against me. 

Happy Halloween!
8b
