Deckard RIPEcast My Definition of Chill 50th Birthday Set Pt. 1

This week's RIPEcast is a special double header. We will be bringing you not one but TWO mixes from our very own @dj-deckard in celebration of his 50th birthday. Here's what he had to say: "A celebration of chill songs I love mixed in an extended set. This is also my 20th year DJing. I don't wish to get on a soapbox but I do believe in the power of music to unite and provide an outlet for these crazy times. Consider this just a small way of helping share some joy and especially good tune with much more to come. Thank you -Deckard" About DJ Deckard: Born and bred in Washington, Keith Harris (a.k.a.
