2008 is DEAD! Long LIVE 2009! 1

Posted by 8Ball Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:10:00 GMT

Hello Friendly Person:

Aside from one single significant (important and world-changing) exception, 2008 was a horrible ass-biter of a year and when it’s gone the only person who will mourn the fucker will be racist moose-hunting war mongers and their bible thumping fans. 2009 can’t help but do better by us and – if the weather man’s correct – New Year’s Day is going to be crisp and clear. That means not only do you get to kick your New Year’s off right with Breakfast of Champions, you also get the added benefit of being able to enjoy some fresh air between DJ sets without getting rained on! If you were at last year’s BoC you know what I’m talking about.

For those of you who don’t agree with that t-shirt that reads “Same shit, different DJ,” and actually care which of us self-important glorified jukeboxes is playing at what time, allow me to now share our set times*

* This list of set times is not a contract. It’s not a promise. It’s not even schedule. It’s our version of sitting on Santa’s lap saying, “We want a Red Rider BB Rifle.” If Santa decides to give us a cracked-out e-tarded house DJ who shows up 30 minutes late for his/her set with a crate full of goth Nancy Sinatra covers, that’s what you get and you’ll like it.

As always, Breakfast of Champions will be at Club Whisper
535 Florida Street, between 18th & Mariposa
$10 and an ID get you in
A good attitude plus an ability to keep filthy habits under the radar keep you in
6AM until you cry, “Uncle!”

NEW 8BALL MIX

Right, so technically most of the holidays are in the rear view, but this latest mix is coming in before New Year’s, so I’m calling it your holiday present.

It’s been a long time since I’d played around with drum and bass, way too long considering that was all I played at one point. Well, I’ve finally pitched myself back up to the 170bpms for this mix of funky, jazzy, techy, and of course electrosteppy jungle.

New minimal + electro mix from 8ball

Posted by 8Ball Mon, 21 May 2007 16:29:00 GMT

Rayna from the Modyfier Modifying blog always finds these incredibly deep, textured slices of minimal and electro sound, which I’ve been collecting for a while. At some point I realized I needed to mix some of my favorites, and I just finished up over the weekend.
