RIPEcast Guest Mix DJ Dan

DJ Mes is our special guest on the Space Cowboys RIPEcast this week. DJ Mes delivered an unforgettable night at Wiggle Room, spinning a masterclass in jackin’ house. From deep grooves to high-energy crowd shakers, the dance floor was locked in from start to finish. Toronto showed up—and showed out. From the opening beat to the closing drop, DJ Mes seamlessly blended classic throwbacks with fresh cuts, creating a hypnotic soundscape for late‑night revelers. If you were there, you know. If you missed it... Don’t make that mistake twice.

Monarch, Camp OG and In Da Hoody's J.Splat returns to the decks on a rare solo mission to spread the gospel of dark, funky, underground UK Garage. This 60-minute mix contains an arsenal of wobbly, shuffly, bass-heavy urban beats infused with nostalgic elements of Dub, Reggae, and Ska music. Enjoy!

J.Splat- Urban Disc Function

Gavin Hardkiss DJ Set | Shambhala '25 Living Room Stage

Live set from the Doggie + Kite Beach Party. I originally had a hour and a half set but the power cut during half way so this is actually just the second half of my set after the power came back on. It was a beautiful day at Rosie's Dog Beach.

FFS MIX 251 | Silver Panda 
Silver Panda step in for this week’s mix with a deep dive into their trademark melodic techno sound, blending euphoric highs, hypnotic textures and heavy club energy. The duo have been making serious waves across the globe, carving out a style that feels both powerful and emotive. Fresh off the release of their remix of Moby’s Lift Me Up, this set finds Silver Panda showcasing exactly why they’ve become such a force on the circuit.

FFS251: Silver Panda

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.
