We had the absolute honor & privilege to perform at the Daybreaker SF: Peace Tour located at the breathtaking Grace Cathedral. This is the live 2-hour recording (Dancing Mandy is the first half, DJ Denise is the second half). Thank you for listening!

From Dancing Mandy:
Playing Daybreaker at Grace Cathedral was incredibly meaningful for me on so many levels. Growing up singing in church choir was my first connection to music, so being able to DJ in a house of worship (in my wedding dress!) really brought my musical journey full circle. I thought deeply about what to play, and decided that it was really important to play soulful, uplifting house music, the music that unapologetically spreads love in the face of judgement, the music that was created (and still is) to bring fellowship to so many Black, gay, and other marginalized groups when organized religion did not support them. For so many, house music IS church — the only church where they feel 100% loved and accepted for who they are. Bringing these seemingly two diametric opposites under one roof was a powerful experience and I’m so grateful to Daybreaker and Grace Cathedral for making it happen. So as Jack said…Let There Be House!

To help complete my self indulgent notion to get a set or 2 from every year I've DJ'ed (and knew what I was doing) at BM, next up is this 2007 set from the night our bamboo project had failed at OT.  I was so f'ing tired, spent, sad and pissed.  Channeled it into this relentlessly dirty raucous set from Tuesday night at OT.  (more below)

Tracks
1. Maschine Der Nacht : Miles Dysons Non Vocal Remix
2. Do it Again  : Chemical Brothers (Oliver Huntemann Rmx)	3. Knight Moves: Lutzenkirchen
4. Pace : Meat Katie & Jono Fernandez
5. She Wants Me : Richard Dinsdale (Si McEvoy Remix)
6. (Title unknown) : Greg Churchill
7. Ironie : Blende Remix
8. Tricks : Rogue Element
9. Love your Man, Love your Woman : Rogue Element
10. Ghetto Club : Groove Man (Chris Bohn rmx)
11. No Rockstars - Hyper


What's the "bamboo disaster" as it's affectionately called?  Here's the long version of you want a deep dive.  We had two projects to choose from to add to the production that year. One was a bigger version of the Synergy Dome we erected in 2003, and the other was an elevated stage that Rich had designed that was supposed to be in the shape of a star, aka the 'Star Stage'. Feeling that we wanted to push ourselves hard this year, and take 2008 off from any projects, we decided to do both. Spoiler alert - bad idea.

The stage was conceived to be a great platform for a large group of performers, as it provides, in many ways, an ultimate performance venue because it sits 10 feet above the crowd. It would be largely self funded by Rich (taking loans from anyone that would help, parents included), with about 25% of the costs shared by the camp.  Out on the playa, due to a design snag, Rich decided to 'open' the stage and not enclose the 'star', though it was delayed getting up because of the problems with the Bamboo Synergy Dome..
The dome, this time made out of bamboo instead of steel, was supposed to be about a 100 feet in diameter. Myself and Dutch led the construction following the same design plans Rich devised in 2003, modified for the bigger size, at a warehouse in West Oakland. Simultaneously while one team was working at the Box Shop on the Star Stage, another dedicated team busted ass to get the bamboo dome pieces done, complete with a hellish night of loading the 50 foot truss pieces onto a flat bed semi trailer right before we left for the playa.  On playa, lots of build challenges.   Just when we thought we'd have to scrap it due to running out of time, we problem solved and were ready to lift. We used 2 patient cranes from Art Services, and our own forklift to bring it in the air. We were almost there.....

The Bamboo Dome is probably one of the all time great failed projects in BM history.  During lifting, a rope got caught under a tire, a key truss broke, and the project was still possible but not safe so we chose to scrap it.  Flushing $25k and a summer's worth of work down the drain.  It hurt.
