8ball Mixography

Not actually my set from oh so vibrant and youthful DJ Brad Robinson's birthday rave, Lost In Space, last weekend. But close. This is my prep session, plus an extra 100 minutes of tracks, the whole thing taking off like a rocket and then floating gently off into the cosmos. Enjoy! - 8b

Delayed due to multiple power outages, but here's some new DnB for Santa!

Enjoy some leftover tracks from a set that I didn't play recently! Happy Thanksgiving! - 8b

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 th...

Set from DJ ShOOey's epic ShOOnanigans party at Public Works last month. Featuring adult contemporary electro, breaks, original reworks & edits. xo, 8b

Hello friends! Here’s my set from the 2025 Bottlerock roller rink — a cheeky, slightly shameful ride through bouncy remixes, edits, and mashups. Think of it as one big, extended Rick Roll: full of guilty pleasures, surprise flips, and rollerskating-ready controlled chaos. I had an absolute blast playing, and I can officially check “DJ a roller rink” off the bucket list. Big love to the legends at...

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...

Daybreakers at Oracle Park was an absolutely blast! I didn't record the set live, but here's most of what I played and some of what I didn't from a warm up set I captured before the party. Enjoy! - 8b

July... just... eeeeesh. Maybe some drum n bass will help. - 8b

Ain't a person who can't use a little more disco in their life. This set includes a bunch of disco and house tracks I played upstairs at Monarch SF last month for the Baby Weight party. Enjoy! - 8b Tracks: 01 - Space Cowboy (Michael Gray’s Good Vibe Zone Mix) - Jamiroquai 02 - Satisfy Your Soul - Da Lukas 03 - Keep Moving (Dave Lee Jungle Boogie Mix) - Jungle 04 - Paradise (Feat Alexandra Prince)...

Hella good time playing Bottlerock's 2024 Speakeasy! Shout out to Mo'Po and the HUSHconcerts crew for the invite and hospitality—they're the best at what they do and always great to hang out with. Played a lot of tech house, remixes, and lots of original edits and cheesy mashups. Enjoy! - 8b

The original idea was to post this around my birthday in March, after getting about halfway through I realized March wouldn't happen because... well, I was only about halfway through. I parked it to focus on other things. Then came incredibly sad news about friend and Space Cowboy, Danny. He was always a fan of the BBQ sets, and frequently asked when I'd get to another. Yesterday was Danny's birth...

Ayyyyy! If you were at Breakfast of Champions x It's a New Day this year, I hope you had as much fun as I did! I book-ended the party, mixing video on the Mog at the beginning and DJing on the BoC Space Stage to close the party out. Huge thanks to the happy crowd out there at the end—you made my night and helped kick off 2024 with an incredibly positive boost. Here's my set from the party! As usua...

Hello Friends! 

I invite you to settle in for this new 'Electrovember' mix— a synth soundtrack for a digital Thanksgiving. This set’s stuffed with blips, bleeps, acid, robots, and some surprises. Intended for listening while destroying a kitchen while cooking a big meal or coping with indigestion afterward. Spoon up an extra helpings of beats and raise a toast of gratitude with me! Here's to a ho...

Happy Rocktober, Friends! To celebrate, here's 178 minutes of rock edits and remixes of tracks across the decades! Some are monster jams, some are guilty pleasures, some are deep cuts, and a few are all of the above. Enjoy! - 8b

Needed my drum n bass fix—maybe you did, too? This set's some new stuff and some old stuff, plus a bunch of original edits, mashups, and mishaps. Enjoy! 8b

Had a blast playing on the Mog at Airpusher's 10th annual Steampunk Masquerade at Public Works. It was especially gratifying to move from boucey booty breaks into electro and then flip the tempo for some drum & bass before bringing it back down to breaks for the next DJ. The is my 2+ hr warm up set—my actual set was much much MUCH shorter, but I captured this one to share bc more music is MOAR MUS...

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Happy Pride Weekend Frens! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 So this new mix is in large part thanks to DJ Maculate, who invited me to join the first ever Funklectic party in SF this weekend! The mix is my pre-party warmup mix—it's longer by far than what I played upstairs at Monarch, but also includes all the tracks I ended up playing. A lot of these tracks were Bandcamp Friday scores—if you like them, g...

Hella good times at Bottlerock playing HushConcert's Silent Disco! Duran Duran was headlining so I played a set of New Wave jams, including some original edits. Hope you enjoy some these oldies from the 1900s! - 8b

Look, I'm going to miss playing my 2nd ever Breakfast of Champions New Year's Day party since the whole thing began back in the 1900s. I'm not mad about it—it's good to mix things up now and then, so while a bunch of my favorite humans are getting grinnin' & sweatin' with Space Cowboys n friends over at the block party in front of The Great Northern, I'll be skiin' & grinnin' in the snow. Still, e...

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!” More from DJ 8...
