Live Mixes Oo.

For over 30 years, the world-renowned Burning Man Arts Festival in Gerlach, Nevada has always been a harbinger of the future — and a ritual that reverberates around the world. 

For this ritual to happen, in this inflection point in history and to show the world, and remind us, that We the People can do a pretty good job of taking care of ourselves - It had to change! (In fact by law..)

To discourage the renegade burn from happening, the US Government made everything about Burning Man temporarily illegal (with fines up to 12 months in prison..) including all services like water trucks, ice delivery, gray water pumping and porta potty pumping.

No big art or camp structures.
No lasers or massive sound stages (except Robot Heart).
No Instagram celebrities and Hollywood A-listers
No riot of lasers during the sheer overwhelming madness of “burn night.”
In fact, no burning of anything larger than a campfire.

So the people started a new city, three miles away - losing the airport and the plug and plays: Plan B.

There were no landmarks no entrance or ticket line.
There was no “Welcome to Burning Man” sign this year. 
But it felt like home.

And it was done, all so elegantly, so kindly, so politely, so playfully, and within the rules and laws, that our obedience was in itself an act of civil disobedience. 

Free, diverse, inclusive and ecologically sustainable, the People’s Burn “redefined fire.”:

Weapons of war were transformed into a peaceful ritual. The primal spectacle of past “burns” was replaced with a playful humility and heart to symbolically “burn” a “man” figure. 

The aerial light show symbolized the dissolution of the old ways. It was produced by Studio Drift of Amsterdam, live-streamed simultaneously on Twitch and YouTube, and came as a spontaneous and unscheduled surprise.

The lesson? 
When we bring everything back to human scale, the people become the art.
Giving feels better than taking.
Participation is always more fun than being a spectator.
I think there are so many lessons in this for us as a culture, on Earth, about ways to make life more sustainable and less resource intensive and still have fun.

Remember, it’s a ritual that depends foremost on people trusting their own hearts and intuition, rejecting fear, and uniting with fellow courageous and creative souls in like-minded vibe tribes to build what they truly desire.

The Renegade Burn rebirthed the spectacle with something we all need a lot more right now: 

LOVE.

Canadian power duo Broken Future and Stund make their long-awaited return to the label with their biggest tune yet. 

"Benz Friends" has become quite the hot commodity over the last few months since taking the world by storm through teasers in mixes and live streams, and the response has been absolutely insane. This is one of those special peak hour anthems that immediately takes charge and demands your attention.

 Everyone and their mother have been trying to shazam this track for the last 6 months, and now; it's finally here.

The world rejoices, Benz Friends is here!

Broken Future, Stund - Benz Friends

This is a quick moment in time were we had a break from COVID-19. We hit the club where everyone felt vaccinated and safe, no known variants were in our midst. I felt every note of the tracks I played that night deep in my soul and blasted out through the speakers. Replaying this set will allow you to experience a taste of what I was feeling that night, freedom, liberation, movement, joy, excitement, love, honor, pleasure.

Which date could be better to release a fundraiser set I’ve played for my Mexican Mayan Warrior fam than the week where we would normally stroll over the playa in Nevada. I can tell I miss it a lot and can’t wait to return next year properly. 
This set got recorded a month ago in NYC with the full art car at the Brooklyn Mirage. It was a hot and rainy summer night, with a pretty magical vibe and so spectacular with all the lasers & fire. We had a little blackout at the end caused by the heavy rain which soaked all of us and of course the equipment too but this made it even more special.

As we all know, the official 2021 Burn didn't happen.  Nor did I head out to the Rogue Burn.  But musically I was ready!  And I still had to put together what would have been the kind of set I would have played if I stepped into the O Pod (Opulent Temple's DJ booth) on a Wednesday night ready to rock a crowd and play with flame throwers. 

So accept this substitute for the dance floor experience this set tried to capture, with a range of house to take the playa tinged journey.  Hope you enjoy.

NU DISCO SET 7 - AHMET KILIC

This year's free/renegade burn unfolded itself most unexpectedly. 
14 days before the burn, I received an invite from Amsterdam to support a friend's art project with my music. Everything which followed felt like a streak of kind gestures from the universe. 

This art project by Studio Drift brought two hundred drones to the playa to fly a series of magical art pieces in the black rock city sky.  

A tribute for all hearts who have burned in this place. ⁣⁣⁣A gift for the burning man culture and an homage to previous artists who united this beautiful community.  ⁣

To everyone who made this trip and experience possible, thank you. I have no words. The same goes for all those who came to listen. 

All the beautiful burners who showered me with love, support, food, and gifts all week, realize you are part of this recording. 

I am sending my endless love to the Studio Drift  & Robot Heart families for this opportunity to co-create. Without words of how you gift in such a selfless manner. ⁣⁣

This was me in flow on Saturday morning before the sun came out and Diplo took over. I loved this moment in time. I wish you all a beautiful journey, and I look forward to many dusty camping adventures with most of you.

"We stand in the desert as one pulsing heart
In tribute to a legend whose soul now departs. 

Yet his wisdom remains and whispers through the desert, 
as a remembrance to perceive every breath as a present. 
.
And now we dance to the wind as a manifesto of redemption 
As we navigate the trails, of this  human inception

We are wanderers of freedom with nothing to hide, 
tracing our own roads with the sun as our guide.

We are dream alchemists. we are seekers of the light 
Trusting our footsteps while our souls are in flight.

In a quest of self-reliance finding trails back to source,
Elevating each other, as our eye gaze joins in force. 

Unveiling the illusion to raise our voices higher 
as we witness eternity spiral into the fire. 

Let us choose surrender and keep walking in trust
To remember that, in essence, all we are is dust.

"HI-LO, the techno alter-ego of Oliver Heldens debuts on Drumcode with a full-force two-tracker ‘Hypnos’. Unbeknown to many, the Dutch future house star has been cultivating a love of techno separate from his mainstage persona. As HI-LO, he’s remixed Nina Kraviz’s ‘Skyscrapers’ and released on Octopus and Filth on Acid, the latter consisting of collaborations with Reinier Zonneveld, T78 and Will Clarke.
Over the last 12 months, HI-LO has become the sixth highest selling Techno artist on Beatport, as well as cemented his place as a top streaming act in the genre.

His Drumcode debut ‘Hypnos’ is effective and infectious in equal doses. The title track is led by a catchy bass groove that espouses plenty of personality and is a handy tool for building energy throughout the night. ‘Hera’ is a straight-edged euphoric gem, driven by an uplifting key riff throughout."

I always love playing Halloween events. The dark grooves I play are always a hit! Dead Ringer in Reno, NV was packed to the gills and going off. The crowd was ripe for the spooky tunes and I was in the flow. Here is the recording from that night. Enjoy my mix, and may the darkness be with you.

Aaron Jacobs Live at Dead Ringer Halloween 2022

2022 was my 8th return to Burning Man and my 4th year camping and building with DISTRIKT. It’s always a lot of blood, sweat, and beers being part of such a massive camp that provides so much. It is rewarding in ways I can’t describe despite this year being particularly difficult. 

As for my set at DISTRIKT, I decided to go with a darker style than usual and the crowd seemed to love it. I wanted to represent the sound from my Shadow Wulf record label and I included a few grooves from the label. It was a blissful experience for me to see all the happy faces getting down in the heat with me. I hope you all enjoy this recording over and over again. I am looking forward to seeing you all in the dust once again 2023!

Here is my recording from the first season of the new Drum n Bass weekly every Sunday at Dead Ringer in Reno closing party featuring Diesel Boy, hosted by Hydra and Minimal-Mvmt. It's always a pleasure to get to play DNB. DNB was the reason I started DJing back in 2002 and Diesel Boy has always been an inspiration. I played my style of liquid and dark minimal sexy DNB.

Bedouin - Robot Heart 10 Year Anniversary - Burning Man 2017

In my two decades of DJing at clubs and parties around the world, there is still nothing even close to the experience of DJing at DISTRIKT. The little party that started way way back in the early 2000’s as The Deep End, has somehow turned into one of the best dance floors on Earth. Always my favorite set of the year, this closing set is a mix of some of my favorite tracks from 2017, plus, as always, some fun classics at the end. Hope it takes you back to that beautiful Saturday afternoon in the dust!

DISTRIKT was kind enough to let me open the main room of their first SF party of the season, with a nice long space to play and stretch out.  Deeper house and atmospheric techno gives way to a little more purpose as the room filled up.  Was really fun for me to explore this musical departure from my norm - Thanks guys!

Anthony James - Live @ GPS- BurningMan 2019 part 1

I've been to 4 consecutive burns now, 2016 was my first. I've been blessed to play a number of sound camps and art cars, but I've always thought of DISTRIKT as one of the great whites, with a reputation that I’ve known about since before I made my first pilgrimage to the Playa. The hardworking and meticulous DISTRIKT team always provide a mystical experience for all of us dusty musically inclined burners,  with a carefully curated lineup and grade A Funkworks sound. Like many DJs, I hoped to one day be given the opportunity to perform on this stage, and when I was asked to open the stage on Saturday morning at this year's Burn I was truly honored and stoked! I view the opener time slot as a challenging role that comes with a lot of responsibility and one that must be handled appropriately. I often have more opportunities for late-night sets so it was really exciting to step out of my usual zone and get to flex my chops with a daytime set! I drew on my memory of DISTRIKT over the years and felt inspired to bring to the table a different kind of opening set. I wanted to do something very minimal start to finish, but with a careful progression throughout my tale, covering different areas and emotions. Thank you DISTRIKT for giving me such a fun and unique opportunity, an experience I won't forget!
