Live from Ghost Ship, Episode 5: Murphstar

That’s right, it’s time for another installment of Live from ~~Ghost Ship~~, this time with DJ Murphstar.

Actually, this recording is from the Plump DJs show a couple weeks ago. See, we had this little problem during the recording of Murphstar’s Ghost Ship set, but thanks to some fast thinking, Zach Moore managed to plug a recorder in the mixer at Murph’s next gig, and voila!

Zach posted this mix earlier in the week to his Gough Street Sessions podcast, and he had this to say about it….

Not only is MurphStar a phenomenal DJ in his own right (I’ve heard him play on a dozen occasions at least and he’s never failed to whip the dance floor into an absolute frenzy), he’s also well-known for bringing some of the best international talent from the world of breakbeat to San Francisco. Murph was at it again on November 20th as his crew, Seismic, welcomed the venerable Plump DJs to Mighty to celebrate their much-anticipated CD release on the Global Underground label.

Murph wasted no time lathering up a dedicated dance crowd for the Plumps and, amazingly, I was able to record his entire opening set!!! If you know Murph (or me), you may also be familiar with the long, sad saga of many failed attempts on my part (due to technical difficulties or drunkenness) to record his live sets. But the DJ gods must have been smiling on us that evening because the recording went off without a hitch. And I have no doubt you’ll find yourself grinning from ear to ear, and bobbing your head, to this tasty breakbeat set from MurphStar. Enjoy!
