8ball Mixography

by Space Cowboys

Hello Friends, I'm 8ball (JDW, Josh Damon, Josh). I started DJing in the 90s at SF underground parties and on the playa. I played mostly drum n bass at first, but quickly expanded genres—breaks, disco, hip hop, funk, sleaze, electro, and all sorts of stuff in-between. I'm one of the original members of the Bay Area arts and music collective, Space Cowboys.Nuv8 is a side project I use now and then for mixing ambient, experimental, and leftfield stuff, including some originals. You can also find me here: https://www.linktr.ee/dj8ballhttp://instagram.com/dj8ballhttp://threads.net/dj8ballhttps://www.facebook.com/dj8ballsf

  8. 8ball - Bottlerock 2025 - Roller Rink Rick Roll

    Hello friends! Here’s my set from the 2025 Bottlerock roller rink — a cheeky, slightly shameful ride through bouncy remixes, edits, and mashups. Think of it as one big, extended Rick Roll: full of guilty pleasures, surprise flips, and rollerskating-ready controlled chaos. I had an absolute blast...

  9. RIPEcast 8Ball - Breakfast of Champions '25

    This week on the RIPEcast an OG if there ever was one, Space Cowboys' 8Ball is on the decks live from the 25th edition of Breakfast of Champions.

    Hella good time playing Bottlerock's 2024 Speakeasy! Shout out to Mo'Po and the HUSHconcerts crew for the invite and hospitality—they're the best at what they do and always great to hang out with. Played a lot of tech house, remixes, and lots of original edits and cheesy mashups. Enjoy! - 8b

  14. 8ball - Another BBQ Mix II - April 2024

    The original idea was to post this around my birthday in March, after getting about halfway through I realized March wouldn't happen because... well, I was only about halfway through. I parked it to focus on other things. Then came incredibly sad news about friend and Space Cowboy, Danny. He was...

  15. 8ball - Breakfast Of Champions 2024

    Ayyyyy! If you were at Breakfast of Champions x It's a New Day this year, I hope you had as much fun as I did! I book-ended the party, mixing video on the Mog at the beginning and DJing on the BoC Space Stage to close the party out. Huge thanks to the happy crowd out there at the end—you made my...

  19. 8ball - Steampunk Masquerade Warm Up - July 2023

    Had a blast playing on the Mog at Airpusher's 10th annual Steampunk Masquerade at Public Works. It was especially gratifying to move from boucey booty breaks into electro and then flip the tempo for some drum & bass before bringing it back down to breaks for the next DJ. The is my 2+ hr warm up...

    Look, I'm going to miss playing my 2nd ever Breakfast of Champions New Year's Day party since the whole thing began back in the 1900s.

    The Mog's heard a lot of DJs play a lot of music genres over the years, but there's one style that it always comes back to -- breaks. Yep, when the Mog made the bold decision to give up its profession as a gainfully employed radio truck and pursue its dream of becoming the playa's very first…

    **Spring Forward Lean Back** Chill trap, electro R&B, and other head music I've been collecting and listening to lately, usually in the spaces between getting out of bed and arriving at my desk, and sometimes the reverse. There are some new sounds, some old sounds, some old sounds made new again.

  38. Josh Damon aka 8Ball From BoC 2014

    Bassline, breaks, jackin house, and garage -- who'd wants some? Well, me personally speaking, I could go for a bit of that. So could a tent full of dance-crazed maniacs during my set at Breakfast of Champions this year. And hopefully the rest of you tuning in to this week's RIPEcast will find…

  42. 8Ball - Deckless Wonder Vol. 7 (March 2009)

    My first recorded mix of 2009, finished just before my birthday. Originally I was trying to crank out new mixes on a monthly basis, but that was before I started playing with loops, samples, effects, and such—all stuff that I tweaked and tinkered with for weeks for this latest mix. Hopefully my...

  43. 8Ball - DnB in the Sunshine (April 2009)

    Here’s another tasty portion of mostly drum and bass (with a handful of other ingredients layered into the sandwich like bacon and peperoncini). The inspiration for this one is that big bright thing that coincidentally showed upright when the weather started getting real nice.
