On this weeks episode we are bringing you our very own cowboy 8Ball with his live set from Breakfast of Champions 2018. Here are a few words from 8Ball. Once again I was fortunate enough to start the year off with a day hanging out with several thousand of my friends. This year's line up was packed with stellar talent from home and abroad, so it was a privilege to be included. It also meant I wanted to push my set to be a bit more diverse, moving across a few genres and tempos, with some homegro...

On this weeks episode of the RIPEcast we have a Breakfast of Champions 2018 live set from our very own master of the beats, Mancub. Here are a few words from Mancub about this set: I love closing out BOC This is the best party for musical creativity. Probably had ten trips to the vinyl chambers, ripping wax in the living room and planning a historical breakbeat adventure. I had a blast putting this set together. Many thanks to my family and friends for staying till the end and jamming with the S...

Disclaimer: This is a chill mix and not meant for dancing. You can try to dance to it, but don't be surprised if you find it more difficult than usual. I had a wonderful time playing at Mark Morford's yoga workshop on New Year's Eve. Rather than record the event live, which would've included Mark's talk track*, I've recreated the set I played. We started with background tunes while people walked in and got settled, then chill tracks as the workshop began, and later a couple higher energy house t...

On this weeks episode of the RIPEcast we are pleased to bring you a special all vinyl guest mix from Ardalan. Range, appeal and a massive dose of nasty, gritty bass are the three chief weapons every Dirtybird artist has in his quiver, but Ardalan seems to be the peak culmination of all those assets in one wieldy point. This young archer has had the incomprehensible luck to fall into crew with his idols, be reared by their best and given some of their most guarded musical secrets, then hoisted to...

This week we have a special treat for you....a brand spankin' new studio mix from our very own Kapt'n Kirk. Here are a few words from Kirk: Ten! Why Ten? Ten years DJing? Nope, that’s ~18. Actually, it’s been 10 years since I made a proper “studio” mix at home. I’ve posted many mixes in the last 10 years yet all of them were recorded live (except for one, which I simply re-recorded a previously played live set, but I don’t count that one 😉). Anyway, I put together my favorite tracks I’ve acquir...

Friday night at Love Boat was epic. It was not too crowded and I was able to spend time in each room without losing my crew. The Art and sound systems were on point. I really enjoyed myself this year. The night flew by and finally it was time for my closing set on Unimog stage outside. Murphstar had a full crowd on the...

Here are a few words from Ben: The set started in 2013 when Jenee (ms. mancub) asked me to play a ragga breaks set for her birthday party, which I never got around to playing. But, I finally got back to it and decided to fill it out with some booty! It’s always ridiculously fun playing on the mog, and this year’s LoveBoat was no exception. It was fun warming i...

This week we are honored to bring you one of the hottest names in house music, Block & Crown. These guys have been dominating the Jackin' House charts for both Traxsource and Beatport with at least 10 of their tracks in each, and show no signs of slowing down. Their unique style is a combination of all the things we love about house music; stompy beats, those o-so-good disco/funk loops, infectious baselines, some 80’s hip-hop loops, and some good old grit at just the right spots. Block &...

I had the good fortune of being invited to play Friends and Family XXI campout this year. No attention to detail too small was overlooked and indeed it was a family and friends affair. One of the best campouts I've had the pleasure to attend let alone DJ at. Thank you FnF, we will be back next year! Please enjoy this live set recorded poolside Saturday afternoon.

Here's my mix for September (coming in under the wire). Bit of disco, some funk, and a little house. Hope it helps provide some distraction from the vile shit show playing out at the w̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ golf course this weekend. And if you have a second, consider texting "REDCROSS" to 90999 to donate $10, which (according to the interwebz) should provide aid to the American citizens in Puerto Rico who are totally hosed right now.

One of my most memorable sets in my 8 trips to Burning Man was at Bubbles & Bass in 2015. If you were there that night, you'll know what I'm talking about. Despite my best laid plans, the playa had other plans for me. My awesome friend Marvin scheduled me for his curated night at Bubbles & Bass called Bourbon & Breaks on Thursday night. When I found out that I would have to miss BM because of work, Marvin adjusted the schedule without me in it. When I contacted him at the last minute...
