" We‘ve never experienced anything like the whiteout that happened that night. With absolutely zero visibility, our little gang stuck close together so we wouldn‘t lose each other when we followed the art car into the Playa. We couldn‘t have imagined a more surreal setting to truly experience how outer worldy Burning Man is - to be able to play our music in that epic sandstorm on the Mayan Warrior was something we‘ll never, ever forget."

Caleesi & Sarah Kreis - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022

Sunrise is my favorite way to describe the magic of Burning Man.

There are 365 sunrises each year, and most of us consider it a privilege to sleep through them. But during one week at Burning Man the attendance of sunrise is a must. In the desert, as a collective, we make things that are otherwise ordinary occurrences into sacred spectacles. We make costumes for the sunrise, we compose music for it, and we go through death-defying stunts to take incredible pictures of it. And so it goes with many things at Burning Man; things that we take for granted in the real world are treated differently on the playa. It is not just the rising of the sun that we elevate to mythical proportions, but human traits like kindness, patience, uncertainty and flexibility are also celebrated, tested and recharged in Black Rock City.

Through audio and video captures, these extraordinary treatments of ordinary things stand a chance to be implemented in the outside world, not just for those who were there, but also to people who never traveled to Burning Man, and who - through these captures - are reminded that certain basic things in life can hold more value if we so choose. With every unusually nice thing that someone did or said to us at Burning Man, with every unprovoked smile we received from strangers in its dust storms, we will be charged and challenged to pay that spirit forward the other 51 weeks of the year.  And every morning, the sun will faithfully show its face to remind us of this opportunity.  

So, the next time we need to set our alarm clocks because real life responsibilities demand us to be awake before dawn, let’s choose to be grateful for witnessing the sun peek over the horizon or through our concrete jungles, while most other people are sleeping through it, and let’s remember that we are ambassadors of that magical place that celebrates the beauty in ordinary things. 

Today is a good day to be awake!

The Scumfrog - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

Saturday, 7am, G camp, Burning Man 2024

Kotoe, Madmotormiquel and myself (Nacho Isa) take on the decks for the last G camp party of the week. The rest is history. A wild morning into the afternoon. Ten hours of ups and downs. 

If you were there you know what we are talking about. If you weren't this will give you an idea of what that morning was.

Thanks to everyone that came to support us and in particular to all the Gs that were a key component to the magic of the day.

Welcome to my private parts. Consider the first hour of this mix a gentle sexy warmup and ice breaker. The second hour is a sweeping soundtrack to sweaty efforts, and the third hour is a deep exploration into very high territory. 

Happy exploring!

Subsequent Rodeos

I am SO excited to share my set from Shipwrecked Festival with you today. Without a doubt the highlight of my last couple of months on tour and one of my favorite sets I’ve ever played 🫠

Sometimes everything just falls into place... 18.000km from home, the vibiest of all sunsets, surrounded by so many smiling faces, sandwiched in between some of my very best friends, the most insane curation from start to finish… I’m still speechless when I think of this weekend and all the joy that it brought me.

I’ve put quite some thought into this set and I think it all came together just right. I hope it brings you, my dear Kiwi’s, some heart warming memories of summer - and for my friends in the northern hemisphere, a little taste of what’s ahead of us 🌞

Thank you so much Shipwrecked & Logan Baker for having me and for facilitating one of the most beautiful and heartfelt festivals I’ve ever been to, thank you Sound of Silk for making this whole New Zealand tour possible and thanks Madhat NZ & Louie Carrol for making the humming hut hummmmm! 🫶🏼

I’ll cherish this memory forever!

Hope you enjoy the ride 🎢

Six years since the last chapter of everyone's favorite Scumfrog mix series, it is finally time to introduce volume 6 of Friends With Boats! The series that was inspired by a sailing trip in 2007, and slowly navigated the ever changing sounds of Electronic sunsets, continues with a carefully selected bag of tunes that were released at any point during the past 6 years, and deemed worthy for this mix. As with the other volumes in the series, Friends With Boats is best enjoyed as the sun sets, out in the open, with libations and friends, ideally on the open water. Enjoy the summer, wherever you are!

The Scumfrog - Friends With Boats Vol.6

Sunday Sunrise at Alborz has become a special tradition and perhaps my most meaningful morning at the burn. Thank you, Alborz, and everyone who joined for joining this smooth ride with me. Flow doesn't begin to describe it. 

A morning that will stay with me for a long time. 

enjoy this beauty, 

love unders

One of the Woomoon summer shows this year is in Ibiza. While I adored all of them, this journey felt comfortable, smooth, unexpected, and exactly what this club room needed at this hour..

thank you ritual and angie for having me always and supporting me the way you do. I feel super free at Woomoon.

Sorry Mum
