Just the kind of energy for this Tuesday morning!!

The Universe Is Calling...

As we all know, the official 2021 Burn didn't happen.  Nor did I head out to the Rogue Burn.  But musically I was ready!  And I still had to put together what would have been the kind of set I would have played if I stepped into the O Pod (Opulent Temple's DJ booth) on a Wednesday night ready to rock a crowd and play with flame throwers. 

So accept this substitute for the dance floor experience this set tried to capture, with a range of house to take the playa tinged journey.  Hope you enjoy.

Live at Steampunk Masquerade 7/16/22

I have spent the last 6 months putting together a mix of bass influenced house.  I have been so inspired by the music which has been released recently, that I felt that I needed to compile a mix of this great music which has given me so much joy. 
 
This mix started when I discovered the song “Vibe Alert” by No Thanks. After listening to this song roughly 100 times, I felt that I needed to find many more songs to accompany it.  Right around this same time, I found out about an artist named San Pacho.  Anyone who knows me well, knows that when I find an artist I love, I start devouring their whole library, studying every song like I am about to take an exam on their sound.  After playing San Pacho’s tracks for a few months, I then made the bold move of reaching out to him on Instagram, asking about his music and praising his sound.  He responded by sending me a library of unreleased tracks, which have been at the core of almost every one of my sets since June.
 
All of this being said, I have put together a mix that I am very happy with.  It has taken countless hours of my time and I consider it the last mix I will be working on for a long time.  While the style may not satisfy all tastes,  I hope you can appreciate the time, intention, and emotion I put into this.  This mix is peak Gene Lee.  

Please enjoy.

Syd Gris - Live in Dallas 12/10/22 with Sonic Soul Tribe

On week’s RIPEcast we’re bringing you a scorching set Space Cowboys’ dancefloor igniter, Leyl Master Black, recorded live at Breakfast of Champions + It’s A New Day 2023. Leyl’s mix of techy, funky, and soulful house is regularly featured in the SF club and Burner scene, and her set at the Space Cowboy’s Outer Space stage at BoC absolutely went off! 

Here’s more about the mix from Leyl: 
“Breakfast of Champions is my favorite party of the year, and I always have a blast planning my set so I can bring something special to the stage. I'm so proud to be a part of the Space Cowboys and to produce events that bring our amazing community together. Thank you to everyone who came out to dance and celebrate with us!!!”

Bunny Sunrise, BRC 2019

(Live @ FnF Fall Classic 2019)

Trust Fall here with Dulce, approaching an autumn trail down the bouncy path of tech house.  Imagine orange, red, brown leaves all around, as the dramatic intro sets a theatrical tone.  Buckle up and enjoy the roller coaster launch deep into dark rolling basslines, with a splash of tech funk - and a pinch of soul. If you liked the mix from last autumn, you'll love this one even better.  More of the same, except just a bit more gusto.  

(Big massive sloppy wet thank you to the FnF Music Committee, Brad and Waveworks + Radiant Atmospheres, plus every one on that dance floor.  Thank you for the kind privilege. Huge thanks to Sean Murray for the master assist!)
