Happy Hour Is Whenever You're Happy

Buckle up, friends! This week’s RIPEcast takes us back to an epic set from Breakfast of Champions x It’s A New Day 2023. We’re thrilled to share this live mix from legendary pioneer of bass n beats, Freestylers! This set absolutely mashed the dance floor with old school vibes and new school flavor. Huge thanks to Freestylers for not only sharing these massive tunes with the BoC party, but letting us bring it to you on the podcast as well.   

En-fuckin-joy!!!

Freestylers - Live @ BoC + IAND 2023 - RIPEcast

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!

Hella good times at Bottlerock playing HushConcert's Silent Disco! Duran Duran was headlining so I played a set of New Wave jams, including some original edits. Hope you enjoy some these oldies from the 1900s!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Happy Pride Weekend Frens! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

So this new mix is in large part thanks to DJ Maculate, who invited me to join the first ever Funklectic party in SF this weekend! The mix is my pre-party warmup mix—it's longer by far than what I played upstairs at Monarch, but also includes all the tracks I ended up playing. A lot of these tracks were Bandcamp Friday scores—if you like them, go look them up and add them to your own library!

Deckard - Party People Jukebox Hero 2

The original idea was to post this around my birthday in March, after getting about halfway through I realized March wouldn't happen because... well, I was only about halfway through. I parked it to focus on other things. Then came incredibly sad news about friend and Space Cowboy, Danny. He was always a fan of the BBQ sets, and frequently asked when I'd get to another. Yesterday was Danny's birthday, so I carved out time and finished it up. Not perfect, but long af, and hopefully suitable for BBQing. RIP Danny, hope he bumps this at the big grill in the sky. 

XO, 8b

From @dj8ball, "25th Breakfast of Champions, and I’ve played 23 of them! I’d say “I’m too old for this shit” but the party’s still going and it’s still the best way to kick off the New Year in SF—hands freakin’ down!   

About the mix: I brought a mix of new and old favs, and like last year I decided to pack the middle with drum n bass to keep folks steppin. Most of the tracks were re-edited and I’ve been enjoying tinkering with stems lately, so that’s where some of the acapellas come into play. There’s also a quick tribute to breakbeat originator, Lennie Le Ice and his groundbreaking track “We Are E.I.”—I’ll work the whole thing into another set down the road, but for now it’s in the breakdown for “Feel It”.

RIPEcast 8Ball - Breakfast of Champions '25

This week on the RIPEcast we have Space Cowboy resident DJ Workr coming at you from New Year's Day. In his words, "Every Breakfast of Champions I’m invited to play is a special opportunity to showcase my favorite tracks from the past year. This year, I was honored with an afternoon set, which gave me the space to really open up my sound and rock the crowd in a way that felt true to the moment. I’m excited to share this live recording of that set with you, and I hope you can tap into the energy I was laying down. Enjoy the ride!"

-WorkR

Breakfast of Champions is always been a special day of welcoming the new year with new and old friends and seeing our community come together in one place is magical! Although I have taken a step back from DJing and posting mixes, but without fail, BOC inspires me to keep on playing. If you were there with me on the dancefloor, I was seriously soaking in all your vibes... thank you all for making it such a memorable set! 

Catch me next on 3/22/25 at 7th West in Oakland with Disco Donutz!

Hello friends! Here’s my set from the 2025 Bottlerock roller rink — a cheeky, slightly shameful ride through bouncy remixes, edits, and mashups. Think of it as one big, extended Rick Roll: full of guilty pleasures, surprise flips, and rollerskating-ready controlled chaos. I had an absolute blast playing, and I can officially check “DJ a roller rink” off the bucket list.

Big love to the legends at HUSHconcerts and the Lululemon brand team for creating such a stunning activation!

RIPEcast Guest Mix DJ Dan

I started making this mix series 11 years ago to celebrate my birthday and DJ anniversary.  After a short break, I am pleased to bring the tradition back to life with Twenty-Two, celebrating my 50th birthday and 22 years of DJing. I usually set a lot of rules for programming these studio mixes but I let that all go for this mix and just chose what moved me. I hope it moves you too! I found the album cover quite fitting, which was taken at my 40th at the first ShOOnanigans 10 years ago! 

I am excited to celebrate my 50th at Public Works SF on Sat 7/19! We have one of my favorite producers, Aylen, headlining along with special guests and my long-time friends Dulce Vita (Opulent Temple), Haute Mess (Brass Tax), and Nugz (Dusty Rhino). Space Cowboys DJs 8ball, Deckard, gLover, Kapt'n Kirk, Leyl Master Black, Rumblemunk, and your truly, will be shaking up the club on both floors and Maculate and Vizual Nektar will be on visuals!

RIPEcast ShOOey - Twenty-Two

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.

8ball - Shoonanigans 5.0 - July 2025

Haunted Mansion was a blast! 3 rooms of beats and Halloween vibes in a fantastic venue with the best crowd in the Bay Area! 

At first I was working on a dark breaks and electro set for Haunted Mansion, but then I saw our line up—Fort Knox Five, Mancub, and I were b2b2b in the 200 Channels room of the party. And of course there was only one thing to do... I did a quick pivot from the dark side to the funky side! This set's a bunch of new and old disco and funk remixes, plus some flipped gems I've been sitting on, and a few Halloween classics. Enjoy! - 8b

It is with great pleasure this week we welcome Steve Raskin and Jason 'Qdup' Brown to the RIPEcast for this special throwback mix. I'll let Qdup set the table...

"When Deckard reached out to us about doing a new mix for The Ripecast, he asked if we would think about doing a Jon H dedication mix. Since we’ve already seen a few Fort Knox Five themed tribute sets by various DJ’s released, we thought it would be fun to pull some older tracks that influenced our sound.  As you may or may not know, in the late 90’s and early 00’s  Jason Qdup aka Jayclue, Jon H and Steve Raskin were in a DC area DJ collective called 308 Crew. It was named after the address of the 308 house that we all used to DJ marathon afterhours sets at, and where we all honed our DJ skills together in the Pre Fort Knox Recordings days. This mix is a retrospective of a lot of late 90’s and 00’s era tracks with a few more modern surprises that we would have rocked in our earlier days DJing. Lots of these tunes were from vinyl and were some of our favorite tunes of the era. We had a blast making it and know this mix would put a huge grin on Jon H’s face." - Qdup 

RIPEcast with Fort Knox Five & Qdup - Old School Breaks Tribute to Jon H

Hoping this helps smooth things out, at least for a little while. 

Track listing in the comments.

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

Gently swaying in a current of Adult Oriented Rock and related sounds while sipping margaritas and languidly exploring the Seven Seas.

If you're a fan of Bergamot Alley, the set may be a little bittersweet—this is a version of what I played at their closing dancing party last month. 

Enjoy!

On this weeks episode of the Space Cowboys RIPEcast, we are bringing you a guest mix from long time cowboy favorite dj and producer Deekline.  

Deekline is that rare figure in dance music, the seminal producer who balances the cutting edge and the mainstream with effortless flair. Boss man chief of the London to Brighton-spanning Hot Cakes collective of producers, promoters and DJs, this bonafide bass music icon is currently experiencing a new lease of life following the phenomenal success of his new Gutter Gutter imprint. 

Tracks such as Got to Believe, Deepa and the new jungle anthem Good to Have the Feelin, with the legendary Tippa Irie, have this year picked up play and support from some of the biggest names in the business, DJs such as MistaJam and Annie Mac, on Radio 1 and 1Xtra. 

In the studio, Deekline is a bonafide musical shapeshifter, his impressive diversity having seen him rework the likes of Armand Van Helden, Old Dirty Bastard and The Prodigy. A producer whose Hot Cakes and Gutter Gutter brands have become a byword for bassbin-shaking bravado, this is one artist who's cooking up a storm right now.

Deekline RIPEcast Guest Mix

On this weeks episode of the RIPEcast we are bringing you house music legend @DJ-Mes with his recent live set from Nimby Oakland.  We are are honored to have an icon of the house music community featured on this podcast.  Here is a bit more about @DJ-Mes:

DJ Mes ' Guesthouse Music ' Oakland, CA Bay-Area bred DJ Mes (Jason Sutton) rarely slows his groove. Since the 2004 inception of his Oakland-based label, Guesthouse Music, Mes has produced a prolific catalog of bass-heavy tracks that have scorched dance floors amid the ebb and flow of electronic music. As a DJ, his sets have inspired; as a producer, his montage of disco-dredged beats meld bump with rhythm and bass to create hot buzz in front of and beyond the speakers. In 2011, Traxsource honored Mes with the top spot on a list of 100 best house tracks of 2011 following the release of the bumpy Chicago-sound behind "Fools Gold" (Cajual Recordings). Mes' career dates back to the mid-1990s, when the future producer took early influence from the likes of DJ Dan (Funky Techno Tribe) and Tony Hewitt (Tango Recordings). Some two decades later, it would be DJ Dan who would join the talent ranks of Guesthouse Music, Mes' genre-defying imprint that earned him notoriety beyond numerous festival appearances, club residencies, and as co-founder of Daddy's Records (1996). Unlike previous endeavors, Guesthouse bloomed as a personal and creative project inspired by the underground house community that embraced the sound in the U.S. and overseas. While Mes continued releasing tracks on acclaimed labels such as Black Cherry, Magnetic, and Flapjack, it was his own Guesthouse Music that set the pace, releasing 150 EPs-including 40 vinyl releases-since its inception. Mes' ear for talent led to the unveiling of some of the most successful names in underground house, including breakout artists of 2011, J Paul Getto, who scaled the charts of Traxsource with "Need More Music" and "Paris Fried Chicken" Boundary-bending producers, such as Gramphonedzie, and classic acts, such as Cosy Creatures and The Sound Republic, exploded onto the scene under Mes' own A&R moxie. Even while he introduced new DJs and producers to audiences, he continued creating his own body of boompty sounds. While Mes looks ahead for talent, he creatively nods to sounds that inspired him to slide behind the decks more than 16 years ago. In 2011, Mes followed up his seminal "Fools Gold" release (Cajual Recordings) with a second EP, "Town Business." "Love Affair," a rework of First Choice's classic "Love Thang," climbed the underground charts alongside a remix of Two Ton's Of Fun classic, "I Got the Feeling." Even while maintaining a regular touring schedule throughout the U.S. and Europe, Mes continues partnering with the some of the scene's most lauded producers, such as DJ Sneak and his own greatest influence, DJ Dan. In December 2011, Mes and Guesthouse created another piece of house music history by releasing their 100th track, "3000" (J Paul Getto). For Mes, it marks the beginning of another phase of underground house evolution. Adds Mes: "I'm always working to sign new or undiscovered music and talent to the label, and maybe even throw a curve ball to startle people with a new, unexpected style or sound. It's what it's all about."
