We've got more great vibes to share from the second outdoor stage we added to Breakfast of Champions this year. This week's episode features Space Cowboys' Aaron Pope funky booty bouncing set of 100% USDA certified four on the floor house. 

Here's what Aaron has to say about playing the party: 

"Breakfast of Champions is my favorite DJ set each and every year - it’s the one party that consistently gets better and better. Don’t ask me how, but it does. This year, the addition of a second outside stage ,the great weather, and the sea of excited friends and strangers, contributed to a day which did not disappoint. Everybody I spoke to seemed incredibly happy and upbeat at the start of 2014! I don’t tend to spend much time inside at Mighty during BOC,and so I was really excited to be playing a bit later at the smaller, more intimate stage. It proved a perfect setting for the funky house set that I had planned, and it was really gratifying that so many good friends showed up to enjoy the moment with me. This mix is my first, 100% house mix at BOC, and I hope it helps some of you recapture the magical vibe of the day, or just puts a smile on your face."

About Aaron Pope:
“Dance music is all about drawing energy out of people in a positive way.” This is Aaron Pope’s belief, and that’s what most people remember about his DJ sets - his infectious energy. A longtime music fan and dance floor resident, Aaron brings this joy and love of music behind the decks with him, and at every gig he loves to dance and interact with the crowd. His sets encompass many styles, including house, breaks, electro; even funky mid-tempo if the occasion demands.

Aaron has been a professional DJ for 13 years. He has played at almost every venue in San Francisco, for a wide range of promoters and crews. He was the first resident DJ and music manager for the infamous Deep End at Burning Man. His gigs have taken him to New York, Miami and Chicago, Brazil, the Caribbean and Ibiza. As a member of the Space Cowboys, he can often be found playing at such parties as the Ghost Ship, SnowFest and the infamous Breakfast of Champions.

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!

Skip the FOMO, and get your tickets today!

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.

This is my sunrise set at The Jive Joint in the Coachella Music Festival campgrounds. It's definitely the most epic low key set I've ever recorded! Those crazy kids weren't leaving until they got kicked out!

Sunrise Over Coachella 2013

Spectrum: a broad range of varied but related ideas whose individual features overlap and form a continuous sequence. By definition, a mix is a spectrum, and in this case, a collection of songs unified and differentiated by the softer, more delicate side of house music. This mix also marks the 3 year anniversary since releasing first mix back in June 2010. After going back and listening to my first few mixes, it's interesting to reflect on how my mix styles and taste have varied as much as they've stayed the same over time...The mixes fill a spectrum of their own and are perhaps indicative of what I've recently been finding, which is that at various levels of abstraction, all things are connected in some way, despite their differences.
