From Defkon -

Playing the 25th Anniversary of Breakfast of Champions was an absolute honor. The Space Cowboys have been a huge inspiration in my journey as a DJ, so getting the chance to represent Brooklyn at BOC this year was a dream come true. Sharing the stage with legends like Sporty-O & Thug Shells —who both came out to perform with me—made it even more special.

Knowing I was playing for a veteran crowd that’s heard and danced to some of the best breaks out there, I knew I had to bring my A-game. I think I accurately delivered my sound, keeping the energy high and the dance floor moving until the very end. Closing out the legendary MOG Stage alongside my mentors was an unforgettable experience.

Huge thanks to DJ Deckard, Rumblemunk, and the entire Space Cowboys crew for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel at home!

This week on the RIPEcast, Space Cowboys welcome back Smoove to the Bay Area.

Aloha Funkateers

Back in Y2K era San Francisco, there was a trend amongst the uber cool restaurants where - as part of the dining room ambience - you would often find a DJ mixing live during dinner service. It was here, spinning vinyl all night propped up at the end of the bar, in this bastion of late 20th century California fusion cuisine I found my entrance into the fantastical wonderland that is the Bay Area DJ community. And it was here where I first encountered the Space Cowboys.

The subsequent years featured a significant increase of the color orange into my wardrobe, Halloween undergrounds, a Unimog, breakbeats (so. Many. Breakz!) renegades in Golden Gate Park, that thing in the desert, decompression/recompression, Love parades, rhinestones, Martha, NewsBreakz, heartbreakz. And yes, a New Year’s Day sunrise party.

It was a glorious time to be alive

So I think it’s fitting my first time back at BOC in *this many* years was the 25th anniversary. I was hella psyched to be on this years line up because, if I’m being perfectly honest, I have missed you all. Spinning this set was a true joy and it was an honor to be back with the original crew.

This week on the RIPEcast we have Space Cowboy resident DJ Workr coming at you from New Year's Day. In his words, "Every Breakfast of Champions I’m invited to play is a special opportunity to showcase my favorite tracks from the past year. This year, I was honored with an afternoon set, which gave me the space to really open up my sound and rock the crowd in a way that felt true to the moment. I’m excited to share this live recording of that set with you, and I hope you can tap into the energy I was laying down. Enjoy the ride!"

This week on the RIPEcast we bring you Sol direct from Breakfast of Champions with a stellar house and breaks set!

From Sol, "There's no better way to start off the new year then a little party with a few thousand of your closest friends! Once again the weather was amazing and everyone was looking stellariffic! I worked on this set together for a while as I wanted to combine my love for both house and breakbeats for the last 25 years. I start it off with a few newer tracks then dropped into an old-school 90s breakbeat set in the middle and finally finishing it out with a couple of classic house bombs. Btw most of the tracks I played are tracks I either remixed or re-edited so they were just the way I like em! …Enjoy!"

This week on the RIPEcast an OG if there ever was one, Space Cowboys' 8Ball is on the decks live from the 25th edition of Breakfast of Champions.

From @dj8ball, "25th Breakfast of Champions, and I’ve played 23 of them! I’d say “I’m too old for this shit” but the party’s still going and it’s still the best way to kick off the New Year in SF—hands freakin’ down! 



About the mix: I brought a mix of new and old favs, and like last year I decided to pack the middle with drum n bass to keep folks steppin. Most of the tracks were re-edited and I’ve been enjoying tinkering with stems lately, so that’s where some of the acapellas come into play. There’s also a quick tribute to breakbeat originator, Lennie Le Ice and his groundbreaking track “We Are E.I.”—I’ll work the whole thing into another set down the road, but for now it’s in the breakdown for “Feel It”.

Our 25th Breakfast of Champions was another one for the record books! This was my 9th year DJing the best party in San Francisco, and I couldn’t be happier with how it all came together. My set includes some bangin new tracks from Redux Saints, Wes Smith, Sam Collins, LEFTI, Kid Massive, Kue and more, plus a couple of absolute classics from Mike Balance and DJ Dan. Enjoy!

It is an honor to DJ on that stage where everybody, DJs and those on the dancefloor bring their A+ game.
