Tamo - Breakfast of Champions 2024 - RIPEcast

To kick off another year in quality fun creation, Opel had DJ Dan and Stanton Warriors on the bill together at Great Northern.  I opened the night with a range of house I wanted to hear and I thought would kick start a dance floor.  Some tracks I just got and was test driving, some indulgent remixes, and some tracks from friends.

 It worked.  : )

Syd Gris - Live at Opel '24 Kickoff

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!
