Helping raise funds for The Fire Relief Fund was a special treat for me. Played some banging tunes for some very charitable folks and made some new friends along the way. Thanks again and hope to be there for the next one.

Unison 4: Live Streamcast

Unison 4 streamed from my garage. I had so much fun finding these tracks and putting them together for our audience of trusted listeners. I wanted to deliver something special for this event. I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I do. Peace. Love. Unity. Respect.

Recording of my set @ Unison 4.  

Enjoy!

Unison 4: A Benefit for Community Foundation Santa Cruz Fire Relief

Unison 4 Recorded live on 8 - 29 - 20

Designed to kick off a weekend of stellar DJs, this set is mostly a bouncy happy fun-fest with a few short bursts of hard-dancing for good measure. 

Extra-fun: getting the chance to include a track produced by my brother-in-law, *and* to mix it into a version of "The Thong Song" :)

Enjoy!

davesimon RIPEcast Live at Unison 4

The Unison parties have been one of the rare silver linings to the decade length year known as 2020. Last August, for Unison 4, I streamed an hour of spacey, ravey, acidy beats, but then kept the mix going for another hour or so because I had a bunch more new music I wanted to hear. 

As a side note, I'm a little late getting this posted. My general goal is to post a mix each month, so this is the mix for August. September's mix from one of my happy hours will be up soon, too!

This week, we continue our releases of some of our favorite live sets from Unison 4. This one is from breakbeat specialist Hijinx of Decadent Oasis and 3 Degrees. Join us October 23-24 for Unison 5, benefiting Oakland Relief Fund for COVID-19 at https://unison.stream.

Here's what Hijinx had to say about the mix:
"This mix was a blast to pull together and I'm stoked to share it with the RIPEcast. I put a good amount of bump & grind in it and threw in some funk & electro for fun. A little about me. I've been part of the scene since 1992 and DJing since 2020. I'm really blessed to be part of several amazing collectives -- old school, longstanding crew Friends & Family, another legendary crew 3 Degrees, and of course, Esplanade regulars Decadent Oasis. Hope you all enjoy it and it lifts your spirits -- or even makes you stand up and dance it out in your living room! Thanks for listening and ENJOY!"

Although we've started releasing Unison 5 sets, we still have a stockpile of Unison 4 recordings as well and we need to share them! This week, we are featuring our very own Space Cowboy, kev/null (@kevnull). He's also simultaneously released his Unison 5 set on his soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/kevnull/elections2020

Here's what he had to say about his Unison 4 set:
"An unexpected part of playing live streaming is learning a whole new skillset around visuals. For this set, I decided to try to try and do projection mapping onto the back of my house and combine it with a fun upbeat breaks set with a ton of great new music. I hope you enjoy it!

Here's what he had to say about the set:
"Huge thank you to Space Cowboys for having me on as a guest DJ! This year more than ever, it's music that connects us and keeps us together. Recorded live from a super secret living room location in SF for Unison 4, an online streaming party that raised $10,000 for Santa Cruz Wildfire Relief. I'm happy to share this set with you as it weaves in and out of tech house and funky disco house, taking you on a journey of big bass lines and catchy grooves. Turn it up and enjoy the mix!"
