Josh Damon aka 8Ball Mixes

This is a recording of my recent opening set for A.Skillz at Sub Rosa with Dojo Entertainment. I was stoked to have an opportunity to switch things up a bit with a breaks/funk/house set and I can't get enough of this mix. The music and dancefloor vibes were off the hook all night so hugs to everyone who made it out and danced their asses off.

LaRiss @ Sub Rosa - 3.29.2024

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

Deckard - RIPEcast Deckard BoaF '24

This week on Space Cowboys RIPEcast we have the man I consider the holder of the House music championship belt our very own Brad Robinson. Coming at you with a live old school vinyl set!

“The Birds of a Feather event was something really unique. To have so many of the old school Bay Area burning man crews pool their energy and resources to bring community together into one place, was just phenomenal. When Tamo first told me about the plans for the event, I got really excited, especially when she told me that there would be turntables poolside. I immediately started digging through my vinyl and reminiscing of the days when we would all dance together to these records. Each one of these tracks is like an old friend and getting to play them again for a dance floor of chosen family was a real treat.  Thank you to all of the event planners who went above and beyond to create this very special weekend for us.”

Hella good time playing Bottlerock's 2024 Speakeasy! Shout out to Mo'Po and the HUSHconcerts crew for the invite and hospitality—they're the best at what they do and always great to hang out with. 

Played a lot of tech house, remixes, and lots of original edits and cheesy mashups. Enjoy! - 8b

Karl the Fog is the undisputed king of summer in San Francisco. During the month of Fogust (known as August anywhere north, south, east, or west of SF), I played sets with these tracks at a few daytime events including the Daybreaker Summer Boat Party and Wild Feather's long-running Beyond The Fence playa fashion trunk show. Enjoy! - 8b
