Chris G (Black Rock Roller Disco) RIPEcast Guest Mix

On this weeks episode of the Space Cowboys RIPEcast, we are continuing to celebrate Bay Area DJ heroes by bringing you CHRIS G from the Black Rock Roller Disco Crew.   Here are a few words from Chris about this mix: “i got a little tease on 1/1/1998 when i was brought (via a map point and an ink stamp from a nearby empty disco club) to my first Detroit techno party…But i throughly investigated, in disbelief, at what i was witnessing in the summer of 1998…An underground rave at a new party venue in a giant East Detroit warehouse (System)…John Acquaviva was the only DJ for 10 hours…48 18” Sub bins, and every new house & techno record played, blended in using a uninterrupted long and continuous train wreck free mix…Richie Hawtin became the staple for my next 10 years (after he was allowed to come back to the US and play in Detroit again), but John Acquaviva was always there, opening the first 4 hours of Rich’s epic (Plus 8 & M-NUS) Detroit parties. I've heard and reviewed many approaches to DJing over the last 21 years, so many new genres!…Minimal Techno was what Detroit provided socially for me, and Chicago was there, to occasionally influence me as well…I always loved the disco and house elements to John’s sets- and that became the main driving force behind my record selection and DJ style, still true today. I've been continuing an “only underground” tradition in the SF Bay Area area for 12 years now, along with a compatible alter ego- playing disco & funk remixes- remaining loyal to my Burning Man camp: The Black Rock Roller Disco. You can find me playing live, if you put a little effort into finding out where!” - DJ Chris G Check out more from Chris G here: soundcloud.com/dj-chris-g-2 Track Listing: Tracklist: Perculator (Funkerman 2018 mix) - Cajmere vs Funkerman Atomizer (Original Mix) - Format:B No School Rules (Original Mix) - Jed X Frying Fish (Original Mix) - DJ Dan, Ido Vision (Original Mix) - Alex Kennon Hydraulic (Original Mix) - DJ Mes Take It (Extended Mix) - Dom Dolla Crazy Horse (Original Mix) - Piero Pirupa Sex A’Pill (Milkwish & Jean Bacarreza Remix) - Miqro Do U Got Funk?
