8Ball Live from Breakfast of Champions 2013

Published: Jan. 7, 2013, 4:10 p.m.

Breakfast of Champions is one of those rare instances of improving with age. It started as a complete shitshow of ravers who'd forgotten the meaning of the word 'sleep', but it's evolved over the years into a exuberant annual celebration of music and community. Yes, it's still a shitshow, but it's the best shitshow around.  Instead of playing outside in the sun this year I played inside Mighty. The inside of Breakfast of Champions has traditionally had a darker vibe, with all manner of transgressive behavior going on in the sweaty nooks and crannies of the club. I took this year as an opportunity to play some rougher moombahton/moombahcore stuff that I'd been collecting, paired with some throwbacks and funky stuff, with all tracks tweaked or edited by yours truly. So far 2013 has been a great year for San Francisco, Space Cowboys, and me personally, and I attribute it all to this first mix of the year.  Right now, Breakfast of Champions is nominated as 'Best Large Event' on BreaksPoll.com. It would be incredibly cool to see it win, for this year and for all the other dozen years of good times we've had. Also nominated is The RIPEcast as 'Best Radio Show'.
