DJ Shissla RIPEcast Fire In The Hole

Published: July 4, 2018, 7 a.m.

On this weeks episode of the RIPEcast we are bringing you a rare treat from Space Cowboys veteran and legend DJ Shissla. Here are a few words from Shissla about this mix:Happy 4th of July!About this mix and the associated image when Brad asked me to do a mix for the 4th of July, I was deeply honored. The 4th of July is a special holiday in my family, as we have served in the Civil War (Union), WW I, WW II, Korea, and Afghanistan. My Pop in particular did underwater bomb disposal in the Solomon Islands back when divers wore those big ass copper helmets. The image associated with this mix is an original art piece by William Immer titled Elaine. Its the Arthurian legend of a woman who fell tragically in love with Lancelot and died of heartache when her love was unrequited. The artist added the bomb gear hoping for a happier ending.Unlike Elaine, this mix is about happy endings (get your minds out of the gutter) on a special holiday. Its a 2 hour payload of tasty house and breaks bombs safely diffused for your enjoyment. I hope it makes you smile.Big thanks to the SpaceCowboys, the RIPEcast team, and Brad Robinson in particular for his tireless work. Special shout out to my San Quentin Kings family see you on the court.Most importantly, thank you to all the members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families for your service.- Shissla/ShizzyYou can check out more from DJ Shissla here:https://soundcloud.com/jshisshttps://www.facebook.com/shissla
