A few words from Zach on his BoC experience:

In more ways than one the 2010 renewal of Breakfast of Champions was very special for me. I made my DJ debut with The Space Cowboys after three fruitful and rewarding years with my good friends at The Deep End. Like the other 3,000 plus who packed Mission Rock, I indulged in the magical vibe and world-class debauchery that make BoC the greatest party of the year in San Francisco. And the whole experience was further-enriched by the fact that many of the people who helped make that day possible for me as a DJ, either through their years of support and encouragement (Piper, Darren, Sh00ey, Bali to name a few) or their influence in our community (Andrea, Clarkie, Kramer and PK to name a few more), were there celebrating the New Year along with me.

The UNIMOG makes its first (?) video appearance in a music video. Check out Hear It Loud, a rockin’ track for a great cause! Bigs ups to Shab, Sam, Mitch, Scott, Lisa and all the others for involving us in such an amazing project!

A few words from Justin Rushmore (one half of Soul of Man from Finger Lickin’ Records) on his BoC experience:

I arrived in San Fran on the 30th to stay with fellow cowboy Murphstar and spent the following day rummaging through my tunes. The brief – New year, funky, breakbeat, party, classics, Finger Lickin’- the result is what you have for your sonic delight. I started with an unusual jungle tune ‘Strange Things’ from Count Sinden that got mashed up with some happy new year toasting from the infamous Ragga Twins and then smashed into Deekline’s booty of ‘Outer Space’. Tried and tested classic that set the party mood. I was trying to get the cowboys to open the dark curtains because it all seemed too night time for a day time party but the ravers just weren’t having it! The curtains remained firmly drawn and the aural assault was underway. Elite Force’s outstanding burning man anthem of Deadmau5 was next to destroy, followed by DJ Fixx’s ‘Shake it’. One of my favourite house producers of recent years is Miles Dyson his ‘Outro’ track always delivers with a mighty punch with its classical strings and devastating bass line. Next up was a cheeky bootleg of Alan Braxe’s ‘Intro’. See what I did there -‘Outro’ then ‘Intro’(!!); following this a monster rerub from Krafty Kuts called ‘Funk Nasty’ featuring Grandma Funk. Then one of my faves of 2009, the awesome South Rakkas Crew, ragga overload and remixed by the mighty talent of Fake Blood – a marching anthem of epic proportions, a tune that is neither breaks nor house but commands all crew to unite.

No set would be complete without a Plump DJs tune, their ‘I’ll Be Good’ always vibes up the room, as does Finger Lickin’s remix of the year…Rising star Peo De Pitte delivered an incredible take on the Drumattic Twins ‘Crazy Love’ which was followed by a cheeky mash up booty that I was given in the Ukraine at an incredible festival on a beach by Russian superstar dj Lady Waks. It mashes up her ‘Minimal’ tune with Crookers and Salt & Pepper’s ‘Push It’ one of the biggest tunes of 2009. Stop for breath. No! Slyde’s ‘Slippedy Starter’ gave a nod to the old school Finger Lickin’ days then Control Z’s remix of a Dylan Rhymes tune took the roof off bringing the set back to the pure breaks orgy. Dub Step has taken over in 2009 and to be honest it doesn’t rock my boat too much, however when Shack of Elite Force hijacked TC’s ‘Where’s my Money’ the result was a deadly dancey and hard hitting melange that has become a main stay in recent sets. Then a classic from the Finger Lickin’ vaults ‘The Push’ by the Plumps, another awesome Fake Blood production ‘The Dozens’ and then as any superstar dj should, I did…I ended with the outstanding 2 Many DJs remix of Chems ‘Superstar DJs’.

What can I say? San Francisco has something unique. An up for it, musically educated, warm, super friendly and crazy bunch of nutters. Truly an incredible honour to be a part of – Huge respect to everyone who came and heard the set and to the Space Cowboys I raise my glass – Have a great 2010 and see y’all soon.

Justin Rushmore

February 9th – Clarkie (The Deep End) Live from BoC 2010 February 16th – Zach Moore Live from BoC 2010 February 23rd – MurphStar (Seismic) Live from BoC 2010

Space Cowboy DJ Brad Robinson has been a standout in the group for years. If you’ve seen him play a Space Cowboy party any time in the last 10 years, you’ve probably also seen a whole squadron of cute girls getting freaky in front of the decks, while this tall, skinny guy rocks out behind them. Brad’s known for bringing that old school flavor of house: big, funky, and fun.

It was so impressive walking into the Treasure Island warehouse that night to the Ghostship party. With a busy schedule this year, I didn’t have much time to help with the preparations, and couldn’t have imagined the amazing hard work and detail the SC team and friends put into this one. The energy in that warehouse during the party was pretty great as well. I think that the bridge closure required a lot of people to go through extra effort to get to Treasure Island, so we ended up with a room full of very dedicated Space Cowboy fans. There is of course nothing better :)
