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!"

This week on the RIPEcast, Space Cowboys welcome back Smoove to the Bay Area. 

Aloha Funkateers 

Back in Y2K era San Francisco, there was a trend amongst the uber cool restaurants where  - as part of the dining room ambience - you would often find a DJ mixing live during dinner service. It was here, spinning vinyl all night propped up at the end of the bar, in this bastion of late 20th century California fusion cuisine I found my entrance into the fantastical wonderland that is the Bay Area DJ community. And it was here where I first encountered the Space Cowboys. 

The subsequent years featured a significant increase of the color orange into my wardrobe, Halloween undergrounds, a Unimog, breakbeats (so. Many. Breakz!) renegades in Golden Gate Park, that thing in the desert, decompression/recompression, Love parades, rhinestones, Martha, NewsBreakz, heartbreakz.  And yes, a New Year’s Day sunrise party. 

It was a glorious time to be alive 

So I think it’s fitting my first time back at BOC in *this many* years was the 25th anniversary.  I was hella psyched to be on this years line up because, if I’m being perfectly honest, I have missed you all. Spinning this set was a true joy and it was an honor to be back with the original crew.

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!

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

Such a blast opening for Beat Kitty! My favorite sets are ones that have a bit of a challenge or a twist, and this one was a great exercise at transitioning from bangin' house to deeper bass-y grooves. Life stuff is making it so I can't go out as much as I used to, so I really appreciated the opportunity to play for such a warm and fun crowd, and to reconnect with my burner fam. Can't wait till next time :)

As in my usual fashion, this hour is jam-packed full of soulful and melodic Bass House and Tech House bangers that will take you on a ride. Everything was on point from the music to the sound to the visuals to the dance performances and especially the amazing love and vibes from our community. It was a "Burner Prom" to remember! 🤍🪩🤍

Live at Opulent Temple White Party SF 2025

There's a new wave of chopped, stretched, bass soaked remixes coming out -- twists on old icon's old classics by new house producers that feature just enough of the original to make me smile, but enough new production to feel fresh. This mix = a bunch of that, plus some other stuff that I found hanging out on my hard drive the week before last, when Space Cowboys dropped by The New Parish for a party we called Oakland Proper. 

Enjoy! 8b

8Ball - Oakland Proper (6/5/15)

The music of LCD Soundsystem is perfect. From a DJ perspective what more is there to do than pay homage? With a couple exceptions I used the original versions of their songs for this mix. It's everything I love about the music of my favorite band of this era.

My Definition of LCD Soundsystem

Every week since 2010, we feature exclusive house, breakbeat, and drum 'n' bass mixes from our own roster of DJs as well as from Krafty Kuts, Ardalan, Yo Speed, Left/Right, A.Skillz, Plump DJs, Elite Force, Slyde, and more.
