So I’m at home pondering this… (in a very “chill” state due to Deckard’s mix, see below) Am I over-using Space Cowboy channels to aid in the creation of the Temple of Flux? Hmmm…. I’m just kidding, you really think I ponder such things? Yes, those of you who no me, know I take such things seriously (perhaps too seriously) but surely I don’t ponder them, the answers to such things are self-evident (such as the supremacy of Arinell’s pizza in this foggy excuse for summer-in-the-city). Anyway, so I’m doing this little sculpture project with a few friends for this little arts festival in some dusty town in northern Nevada, and we need to raise a lot of money to get it done, like $50k a lot. The big problem is that we’re going to burn this sculpture on Sept. 5th as a giant piece of performance art, and therefor can’t sell the sculpture. It’s all about somehow relating that change is a natural part of our lives, both when confronting life and death, as well as understanding our relationship to the environments that surround us, both built and “natural”. See it’s all about perception and framing how you see the world. Kind of like when you look through a window and only see a bit of the world around you. You get this, windows are an easy way to see the artificial frames that we construct to shape our views, and I mean that in a deep, very deep, I mean you are getting sleepy deep, metaphysical way. So the city is a construct of our continual framing of the real (its all really just a bunch of surfaces with windows right?), in both literal and philosophical ways. Depending on how you frame things, there is either joy or pain; it just matters how you build the window.

I can go on…. but you rather just come down to Supperclub SF tomorrow (Friday 7/24) to WINDOWS: joys and panes of a metropolis. It should change how you see things…

(oh and be sure to check the Temple of FLUX on Friday, Sept. 2nd for the Space Cowboys’ Annual Black Rock Hoedown ! See the whole Temple of Flux thing is just a rouse to construct the most awesome HoeDown location ever!)

Howdy cowpokes,

It’s my first time on the Space Cowboys blog so be gentle. My name is Deckard, you may know me from such mixes as Some People Call Me a Space Cowboy, Ghost Ship or Breakfast of Champions. When not cranking up the beats at clubs I like to explore the prettier side of electronic music. I think you can see where I am going with this already. That’s right, full on dubstep bitches! Just kidding, that’s not how I roll.

I put the finishing touches on My Definition of Chill Volume II after starting it some 13 months ago. If I knew of someone else putting together compilations like this maybe it wouldn’t take me so damn long and I could just crib from them. Anyway, I digress.

After working on this mix on and off for over a year I believe I have formulated the proper uses and/or environments for this mix.

Join Mancub and Finger Lickin djs Slyde & Soul of Man (in from the UK) as they rock out North Lake Tahoe for a Burning Man Temple fundraiser! Tonight at 8pm at the Lakeside: 850 N. Lake Tahoe Blvd (beneath Safeway) see you tonight!!!!!
