RIPEcast by Space Cowboys

On the Space Cowboys' RIPEcast this week Mancub rocks the decks live from the Mog stage at Breakfast of Champions Jan. 1, 2026.

Had an absolute blast playing the Mog stage. Proud of our Bay Area community and enjoyed all the DJs sets. Thank you for having me again! - Mancub

This week on Space Cowboy's RIPEcast a blazing house set from our own Leyl Master Black. In her words "This was my favorite BOC ever. The music was top notch, the crowd brought their A-game, and the drizzle didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. I couldn’t wait to play my set, full of new vocal house bangers and some classics I’d never played at BOC. Enjoy!"

This year’s Breakfast of Champions may have started under gray skies, but the moment I stepped onto the BOC stage at noon, the clouds parted and the dancefloor filled. What followed was a full‑throttle celebration of my favorite tracks of the year—an hour where the crowd locked in, the beats hit just right, and the whole party came alive.

Rain or shine, Breakfast of Champions is the ultimate way to kick off the year, and I was thrilled to help set the tone. Whether you were there getting down with us or you’re tuning in for the first time, enjoy the ride.

Our second set from Breakfast of Champions comes chock full of breakbeats from our one and only Rumblemunk. In his words:

The set starts with a cool and funky transition track with some well-known vocals to keep folks hooked. I admit: it's hard playing after shOOey. There are literally people hanging from the rafters and dancers all over the stage, and I try my best to keep them interested for as long as possible.

The core of the set is an exploration of recent breakbeats that sound minimal, but really are an evolution of the 90s dub sound that traces directly from reggae to drum and bass. The 60-70 BPM of dub double-timed up to high 130s and low 140s BPM forces faster elements like hats and arpeggios to be simplified, but leaves space for really interesting layering when slowed down to 132 BPM. There's a run from 12:30 to 17:30 that exemplifies this layering and progression before dropping back into the more open foot-stompy breaks.

I hadn't played it in a while, and was sort of missing the rapid-fire rapping of Eminem, so I dropped in Eminight's Doom, my bootleg of Eminem's Without Me and Timo Maas' Doom's Night. It wraps up a nice run of Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, and Yo Speed.

The final act of the set is a trip back through time to 2004 with deep cuts from Plump DJs, Evil Nine, and the Breakfastaz (name appropriate, no?).

This all leads into the final track; a breakbeat remix of Megadeth's Peace Sells (But Who's Buying) from 1988. I was looking for something topical for the current times with space for live guitar, but wasn't finding any tracks that worked. The idea of remixing Megadeth has been on my mind for a while, and the similar BPM and angry lyrics (If there's a better way... I'll be the first in line... But it better work this time) meant I had to do this. The live guitar bit didn't pan out, but production time of 7 weeks from idea to master is a new record for me. Expect an official release with live guitar and club edits later in 2026.

Haunted Mansion was a blast! 3 rooms of beats and Halloween vibes in a fantastic venue with the best crowd in the Bay Area!

At first I was working on a dark breaks and electro set for Haunted Mansion, but then I saw our line up—Fort Knox Five, Mancub, and I were b2b2b in the 200 Channels room of the party. And of course there was only one thing to do... I did a quick pivot from the dark side to the funky side! This set's a bunch of new and old disco and funk remixes, plus some flipped gems I've been sitting on, and a few Halloween classics. Enjoy! - 8b
