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

DJ Mes is our special guest on the Space Cowboys RIPEcast this week. DJ Mes delivered an unforgettable night at Wiggle Room, spinning a masterclass in jackin’ house. From deep grooves to high-energy crowd shakers, the dance floor was locked in from start to finish. Toronto showed up—and showed out. From the opening beat to the closing drop, DJ Mes seamlessly blended classic throwbacks with fresh cuts, creating a hypnotic soundscape for late‑night revelers. If you were there, you know. If you missed it... Don’t make that mistake twice.

I started making this mix series 11 years ago to celebrate my birthday and DJ anniversary. After a short break, I am pleased to bring the tradition back to life with Twenty-Two, celebrating my 50th birthday and 22 years of DJing. In the past, I had set a lot of rules for myself for programming these studio mixes but I let that all go and just chose what moved me. I hope it moves you too! I found the album cover quite fitting, since it was taken at my 40th at the first ShOOnanigans 10 years ago! I am excited to celebrate my 50th at Public Works SF on Sat 7/19! We have one of my favorite producers, Aylen, headlining along with special guests and my long-time friends Dulce Vita (Opulent Temple), Haute Mess (Brass Tax), and Nugz (Dusty Rhino). Space Cowboys DJs 8ball, Deckard, gLover, Kapt'n Kirk, Leyl Master Black, Rumblemunk, and your truly, will be shaking up the club on both floors and Maculate and Vizual Nektar will be on visuals! Skip the FOMO, and get your tickets today! https://www.tixr.com/groups/publicsf/events/space-cowboys-present-shoonanigans-5-0-with-aylen-144400 ShOOnanigans 5.0 w/ Aylen presented by Space Cowboys Sat 7/19 @ Public Works 161 Erie St, SF 21+

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 HUSHconcerts and the Lululemon brand team for creating such a stunning activation! xo, 8b

Danger Muffin and CRANE- what a thrill to kick off our BOC debut with all you beautiful people! A truly incredible event to play, it was a blast to share our music with so many friends! Can't wait for next year! DJ Danger Muffin https://on.soundcloud.com/yPUQs163FSmCvKeA9 CRANE https://on.soundcloud.com/QvX3W4vbpzKGo6zR6

On the RIPEcast this week longtime Space Cowboy Tamo. In her words, "I LOVE New Year's Day & playing at Breakfast of Champions is definitely one of my favorite places to DJ. Enjoy the mix!" XO Tamo

Featured this week another Space Cowboy who brings it. Every. Single. Time. A man who has never missed DJing a single Breakfast of Champions. The one and only Brad Robinson. "It was another great New Year’s Day and the sunshine. Thanks to everyone that came out for Breakfast of Champions this year and those who stayed late to hear me play after the sun went down. Please check out the Sylvan Esso remix that I put together on the first track." -Brad Robinson

Breakfast of Champions is always been a special day of welcoming the new year with new and old friends and seeing our community come together in one place is magical! Although I have taken a step back from DJing and posting mixes, but without fail, BOC inspires me to keep on playing. If you were there with me on the dancefloor, I was seriously soaking in all your vibes... thank you all for making it such a memorable set! Catch me next on 3/22/25 at 7th West in Oakland with Disco Donutz! Find me at IG and FB @djshooey!

On this weeks RIPEcast our good friend from New York @_defkon with a live set on the Mog stage from Breakfast of Champions '25. Link to mix in comments 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. -Smoove

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!" -WorkR

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!

This year was the 25th anniversary of Breakfast of Champions and the 15th anniversary of my first time DJing the best party of the year. It was a thrill in 2009 and remains a thrill to this day. It is an honor to DJ on that stage where everybody, DJs and those on the dancefloor bring their A+ game.

This was another Halloween for the record books and the Space Cowboys delivered big with an epic event at Great Northern full of great music and costumes.
