"Well that was one for the record books! This was absolutely my favorite BOC yet. The music, the people, the layout, the decor, the operations… all our hard work paid off in so many ways, and it was just perfect. I feel like the Space Cowboys and our friends at The Great Northern took it to the next level this year! Profoundly grateful I got to celebrate the new year in the best city in the world with all you beautiful maniacs.  :)"

This week, we welcome a long-time staple of the Bay Area music scene, friend of the Cowboys (and just about everyone!) and founder of Ambient Mafia, @redstickman. Tho often known for the Ambient Mafia's downtempo chill beats, this set is anything but! Strap on your seat belts and turn off your seat warmers cuz this is coming in hot.

About redstickman:
Redstickman founded the infamous Ambient Mafia in November of 1999, and they’ve taken over chill rooms in the San Francisco Bay Area by storm with their chunky and funky downtempo beats.

Known for his unconventionality as well as excellence in DJ ability, he can be found behind the decks in random clubs from San Francisco to Tokyo, Bangkok to Luang Prabang, and Berlin to Lisbon.

In addition to downtempo, he DJs techno and ghettotech and makes really weird art pieces.

Inspired to connect by the post-lockdown parties and a decidedly un-chill 2020 and 2021 Deckard is back with My Definition of Chill - After Party. After an all day Breakfast of Champions a group of us made the trek to a friend's house for a more intimate gathering. Walking through the doors, seeing friends still dressed up and glamorous, if not a little worse for wear, drinks being poured, glitter everywhere... not ready to a put a stop to it yet. Queue up the mix and hit play.

This week, we are starting a series of live recordings from the inaugural Unison Campout. Unison was a project Space Cowboys have been a part of since the beginning—combining the forces of many communities and crews to raise money during the pandemic with livestreams and this was the first all in-person event!

It makes sense then to open the series with @Lowdeka, whose killer set opened up Saturday after the ceremony and tore up the dance floor! 

From Lowdeka:
"This was my first live in person breaks set. I put a lot of heart into it with the hope that it would take you on an uplifting journey through dance. I hope you enjoy listening/dancing to it as much as I enjoyed making it!"


About Lowdeka:
Lowdeka is a Producer/Dj and California native who has three decades in the various incarnations of the west coast underground culture. As a b-boy (break dancer) battling his way through the 90's and as a Dj since 1999. This has had a profound influence on his music style which can be heard in a variety of genres.  As a producer, Lowdeka is in pursuit of the perfect amalgamation of the sounds that inspire him; funky bass lines, hype breaks, head bobbing rhythms, aggressive drops and an unrelenting energy is shared amongst an array of genres that make up his unique style.
