Bedouin - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2013

Saturday Night
FROM BURN TILL DAWN:
" For the second year in a row, I had the honour of playing during the burn on the Warrior´s closing night... both times sharing the decks with a good friend, last year with Superpitcher as Pachanga Boys, this year with Barnt, who I convinced to come because his music fits so well to the place and situation… originally we wanted to have some back-to-back moments and some solo parts but we got so into it that we stuck together until the end for an almost twelve hour set… Such an experience… from the ritualesque drums to watching the man go up in flames until the sunrise, going through different peaks during the night with all this great people dancing between neon, lasers, fire and metal machines… it was so great to be part of this!! Thanks a lot to the Mayan Warrior crew, and thanks to all the warriors who were there…"

Bedouin - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

The dust blew in hard. Relentless. All Burn long. Destroyed pretty much everything. Beautiful it was.
There was true love, crushing loss, epiphany, change.

We were challenged, confronted, baffled, amused.

It threw us curveballs, softballs, thrashed our weary minds to the point of burnout.

In the middle of this Carnival of Chaos, were the twin techno towers of DISTRIKT, letting fly with winning smiles, throbbing bass, passionate hugs, rainbow tears and a sense of unity through the beauty of the beat.

We wore black. And we fucking rocked.

The 2014 DISTRIKT set ... back by popular demand (after Soundcloud killed the DISTRIKT account).

Simon Shackleton - Live at DISTRIKT, Burning Man 2014

It only took 4 months, but I have finally found the time to master and release my DISTRIKT Closing Party set from 2015.  It was another amazing year out on the playa, with some incredible highs and one very sad low.  It is interesting how every year eventful things seem to happen when you are out there in the desert, both good and bad.  And the fact that it is aways such a different experience every year, is really the beauty of it.  And for me, being away from day to day realities of work and stress helps me remember the importance of the relationships, community, art and music in my life.  That is why this closing set at DISTRIKT, 8 years in a row now, is the highlight of my year.  Looking out over a sea of smiling faces, not caring about anything but the music and the dance floor and that very moment in time.  I hope that this set takes you back to that place.  Enjoy.  - Kramer

Catacomb rises like a rocky outcropping off the desert floor. It is a ruin, a remnant of our collective search for moments of quiet, introspection and reflection. It is a journey of discovery and a descent into a subterranean world.

Bedouin - White Ocean - Burning Man 2016

10 Years ago I was invited to play on this bus called Robot Heart by my good friend Swamy at Burning Man.  We were on the bus and I remember it would continuously break down but we didn't care because we were a bunch of friends doing this for the love of music and we had no idea this bus would become the magical Robot Heart bus that we all have come to love the past ten years.  Every year my set at Robot Heart has become one of  the most integral parts of my journey at Burning Man.  This is my gift to the playa and to each one of you and it comes straight from my heart.  We come to Burning Man to search about humanity and love and to be good to others around us and the bus helps us deliver this message through our music. Thank you Robot Heart, Geo, Swamy, Robert, Benjamin and everyone on that bus that puts so much effort throughout the year to make sure that bus brings so much love to our community!

Wild Dark - Robot Heart 10 Year Anniversary - Burning Man 2017

The next musical offering from No.19 comes in the form of the single ‘Robot Heart’, a record almost destined to be a classic before its creation. The title comes from the infamous desert parties of the same name, that Robot Heart that burners chase through the desert on bikes deep into the Playa to partake in one of the world’s most enigmatic events. It ́s been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the best parties on earth and continues to top the list for djs lucky enough to play atop the legendary mobile soundsystem..

When Art Department ́s Jonny White received the call from Gio (George G Mueller) and Jason Swamy to write the first ever song for Robot Heart, it was not something he took lightly. In Jonny ̈s own words, "Robot Heart events at Burning Man are quite simply put, the best parties on the planet". Jonny enlisted his band partner Kenny Glasgow and sometimes DJ partner Shaun Reeves who were with him last year at Burning Man and who all experienced the Playa and Robot Heart for the very first time together to collaborate on the record. This was no small task, writing a record that would somehow have to translate the uncontainable energy that Robot Heart brings to the Playa each night and into the following afternoon at Burning Man.

"This truly is the stuff legends are made of. The guys have come up with something so amazing and powerful and I was honored to be asked to write the theme to such a beautiful concept that has touched so many including all of us. Having experienced playing on the bus 3 times now I had a good idea of what the song needed to sound like, although bringing that unbelievable atmosphere to a record seemed it might be impossible. Fortunately, having been touched so deeply by our experience there we didn ́t have much trouble putting ourselves in the right place to bring that vibe to the record. I think it really captures the essence of the party, the playa and the people that make it what it is ̈ (Jonny White).

When the record was finished Jonny immediately turned to Damian Lazarus who first asked Art Department to play with him on the bus 2 years ago to write the vocal. "The record needed a vocal... it was something that only someone who had been there and shared the same experience at Robot Heart would be capable of writing. While finishing the mix in LA I approached Damian to write and record the vocals for the song. He had a similar reaction to when we were asked to produce the song... honored and aware of the daunting task: that it would be a meaningful song for so many and had to live up to the actual party. He asked for a moment alone with a pen and some paper and came up with something absolutely perfect, without even hearing the record! I was shocked. We recorded one take and that was it". (Jonny White)

Musically ‘Robot Heart’ is an instant underground anthem, deep, pulsing electronic music that defies tags such as ‘house’ or ‘techno’. Lazarus’ intense and poignant vocals cut a channel through the rich and haunting production and the sound transports the listener straight to the heart of the flame lit desert floor. The original version is accompanied by an outstanding remix from BLUD who delivers a stripped back, dub mix that is perfectly balanced and deeply hypnotic.
