This week’s RIPEcast features Space Cowboy’s 8ball from this year’s Haunted Hoedown. Some words from 8ball: 

“Haunted Hoedown was a blast this year and it was a blast to open in the main room for our special guest, Left/Right. This is an extended version of the set I played—full of bouncy bass, acid, breaks, electro, garage, plus some throwbacks and spooky samples. Hope you enjoy!”

This week on the RIPEcast, we are chilling things a bit with a beautiful sunrise mix from DJ and producer @VonFunkhauser. Enjoy!

About VonFunkhauser:

Dj, Drummer, Producer, Engineer, former record store owner, Jay “VonFunkhauser” Cooper, spins tunes that often pay homage to the good ol’ days when disco and funk ruled the dance floor. Drawing inspiration from all styles and eras of dance music; funk, disco, soul, jazz, r&b, hip -hop, afro beat and all styles of house. Jay has been delivering music to the underground dance community for over 25 years. Bringing the analog and digital worlds together in perfect harmony: funky, uplifting, hypnotic, deep but dancable, whether in the club or in the lounge or on the playa, Jay's sets are meant to take you on a journey through time. Music that awakens the conscious, with an emphasis on seamless transitions, designed to keep you moving, onward and upward. Ear crafted mixes that push the boundaries of what dance music can be, not just synthesizers and drum machines,(though there’s plenty of that) but real people playing real instruments too. All locked together in a steady danceable groove.As a producer, his releases on Kolour Recordings, Phat Farm Music and 10mm Omega have reached the top 20 on the Nu Disco charts, been featured in traxsource's weekend weapons, and deep house essentials and been supported from Djs, Soul Minority, Oscar P, J&M Brothers, Rick Preston, Sleazy McQueen, John Howard and Alexander East. He also plays drums, performs, produces and records with several other projects in the Charlotte NC area; Muchacho, Heart of a Ghost, Jason Herring and the Mystery Plan and a new project in the works, Midlife Niceness along with That Guy Smitty.

This one's special folks! We have a tag team peak poolside set from a father/child tag team! Denver and Serika Drake! And we know age ain't nuthin' but a number for sure because the set it SLAMMING. Enjoy!

Here's what Denver had to say about their mix:

"We had a total blast at the campout and can't wait to do it again! Serika was super nervous playing in front of so many accomplished DJs and their families (so was I) but, they made some great transitions and out shined me a lot in this mix for sure. People asked us at the campout if I picked all the tunes and the answer is that I picked about 1/3 while Serika picked the rest. I am super proud of my incredibly artistic child and think they did a great job and it was so much fun to play with them!"

About Denver Drake:

Denver Drake is local to Santa Cruz California and has been spinning music and throwing parties for several years in the area. He likes to throw togehther high energy dance tunes from funky house to bass house and breaks. A part of the Santa Cruz DJ Sessions crew as well as the UNISON online shows that were put together during Covid 19 lock downs, Denver has been super excited to play to live people in recent months. He hopes to see you on the dance floor soon!

About Serika Drake:

Serika is Denver's child and was 14 when they started mixing on their Dad's controller. Serika loves breaks and is an impressive hip hop dancer. They live in Santa Cruz with their parents Denver and Stephanie, and are attending high school and are part of the marching band playing sax. A shy kid that comes alive on the dance floor, they mix with quick cuts and try to keep the dancers moving the way they like to."
