This one is is from none other than Space Cowboy 8Ball. Thanks to everyone who attended the event and helped to make this year the biggest and best BOC to date.

On this weeks episode of the RIPEcast we are bringing you one of the originators of the Space Cowboys whose musical diversity and eccentric style has made him a favorite among fans. I am of course talking about 8Ball, who has put together this new mix of downtempo, R&B, and funk. Here are a few words from 8Ball about this mix: “Holy moly, everything’s exhausting. If you live on this planet and bre...

Deckard and I recently discovered that we were both working on tribute mixes to LCD Soundsystem, so consider this mix as Part 1 of a 2 part series. For my mix, I wanted to use a variety of remixes and odd bits I've collected over the years, including some tracks where Murphy and Wang were featured guests. Stay tuned for Deckard's Part 2!

Hello Friends, I started working on this house/disco/funk mix earlier in the month and was going to release it for Valentine's Day. But then 17 kids were murdered by an unhinged teen wielding an AR-15 at Stoneman Douglas HS in Florida. After my BoC set, I'd been listening to these groovy, fun, funky, and optimistic housey tracks and decided mix them. But after FL, I considered deleting the set. Ov...

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 want...

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 i...

I had lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Now I'm sharing some tasty drum & bass leftovers. Enjoy!

This week on the RIPEcast we are featuring our very own 8Ball with his live set from Loveboat Halloween 2017.

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 R...

This week's RIPEcast features a loving tribute to the 303 from 8ball. Hope you enjoy this semi-nostalgic 2hr acid trip!

My set from the silent disco at this year's Bottlerock. Huge thanks to HUSHconcerts for having me again!

This set recorded live at Airpusher's Steampunk Masquerade 2017.

Here's a bunch of house and a reminder that none of this 💩 is normal. None of it. Still. - 8B

It's been a while since I've played drum n bass, but when I started DJing it was nearly all I played. Here's 2+ hrs return to the jungle. - 8b Tracks: Larigold - Larry Who SpectraSoul feat. Tamara Blessa - Away With Me (Calibre Remix) Zero 7 - In The Waiting Line (Mage Remix) Bensley - Tiptoe Nemy - Broken Heart (Original mix) Flowrian - Erdene Bert H & High N Sick - Deep Inside (Original mix) Log...

This mix is about resistance, soul, hope, love, empathy, soul, and funkiness. It's partially a reaction to the deep outrage and anger so many, including myself, have felt and expressed since November. That much outrage, while justifiable, gets heavy fast, so I started looking for tracks that felt optimistic and free. There's some disco, soulful house, and a few excellent South African house tracks...

Recorded live at Midway in San Francisco at Space Cowboys Breakfast of Champions January 1, 2017.

It's Bowie's birthday. After his death last year, I made a tribute mix and posted it to Soundcloud. But then I kept working on it, adding new tracks and swapping out remixes. I may never be done with this mix, but still, here's the latest version for Jan 8, 2016, David Bowie's 70th birthday. - 8bll

Wrapping up my #12in12 mixes for 2016 with an super-sized mix of chilled out house and disco. Hopefully this mix will help ease us out of the year without encountering further calamity. Enjoy, and hope to see you at Breakfast of Champions 2017! - 8bll
