live sets from ¡AXOLOTL!

Just my second year sharing love and music at Burning Man, but having a special new family from Mex. Thank you Axoltl for your incredible vibe!
It’s incredible, but when your life is in alignment with the desires of your heart, things have a way of working out even better than what you think. 
I hope you enjoy my sunrise dj set!

Sunrise Set : Axolotl Burning Man 2022

What an honor to be back on the amazing Axolotl art car! Shoutout to the one guy breaking it down all alone in the dust storm at the beginning, and everyone on the car who made me feel like an absolute rock star. Huge thanks to the entire Axo crew <3 

Enjoy, much love, see you in the mud!

Live on the Axolotl - Burning Man 2023

It was the first night at Burning Man 23, we lighted up the Loophole and you could see the bikes coming to the light like flies. We could feel the fresh energy of the people. The massive Axoltol Artcar came and stopped in front of the installation. So we had the dancefloor running and pepole dancing to the beats of the 40.000W soundsystem. Surprise, the AXO DJ asked me if I wanted to play in the car, wow! I quickly grabbed my bike and went to the tent to get my laptop, and then I had to improvise a DJ set there for a couple of hours which was super exciting and fun. What an amazing start of the Burn! Massive thank you to Axolotl crew for building such an incredible piece of art and love on wheels.

Friends, one of my favorite things is playing music in the desert at Burning Man for sunrise.  This year I was offered that opportunity to play on Axolotl Art Car early Monday morning.  Going from night to day is always something to witness.  I brought my camera to capture some moments only to realize no batteries were there 😢😢.  I would not be able to capture these glorious moments so I have the pictures in my mind.  The car moved after sunrise and we rode off to a place where I couldn’t visualize our city of Burning Man and to a place where there was a small house where people were dancing inside, outside and on top of the house.  You don’t forget moments like these.  What a vibe it was that morning!  This is the set played during that morning sunrise.  I hope you enjoy!  Thanks Gor for being there and capturing the moments.  Fun seeing you out there!!
Always sending love!

Burning Man Sunrise on Axolotl Art Car 2024

glad i found you - ¡AXOLTOL! @ sonic runway - burning man 24

My DJ set from atop the extraordinary Axolotl art car at Burning Man this year. 

Wove through a number of styles amongst some current favorite house & house-adjacent tunes. BPMs ranging from 80-130, drawing from musics from around the world. 

What an incredible time my first burn was. Massive thanks to the incredible DJ and curator yroc, and to the entire Axo family, for having me <3

sunset the night the man burned; a spontaneous and improvised set played on somewhat functional dusty decks; star-crossed moments and playa magic.

Through adversity, we find strength. This year was not without its challenges but it was without a doubt the most wonderful opportunity for growth I have ever had the good fortune to experience. Life is a gift and the human connections we make every day are all that will matter in the end. 

This set for me is a celebration of life and newfound inspiration, I sincerely hope you find joy in listening to it. Thank you to all of the incredible artists who continue to inspire me every day. As Matthew Caws said "the weight is a gift". 

I hope this finds you all happy, healthy and loved.

Eternal gratitude and love to DJ Dane, my brother Dane, Ed, Carol, Jenny, Seth & the DSS crew, Seth and Camp Bisous for hosting us and of course the Axolotl crew for hosting this morning on their beautiful art car. And of course my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us for this wonderful morning and made it a magical moment in time I will never forget.

Tycho - Joie De Vivre - Burning Man Sunrise 2025

Dane's set after Tycho on the Axolotl from 7:00-8:00am on Thursday August 28, 2025 at Burning Man.

This set was inspired by my newborn son, Sage Hart, and the new fractal of life he has invited me into - one of a simple embodied presence through which the blissful tingle of being shines.  He is teaching me what it means to truly love, in both the peak moments and the mundane, and I could feel this new flavor of love and blissful presence flowing through me and the music as I played.

By Thursday morning, after days of the mundane - rain and wind, building and rebuilding, dust and mud - I was so ready to be in community, to smile, to dance and to play together. I think we all were.

Feeling grateful that the weather gods showed us some mercy and gave us clear skies and sunshine just in time for the playa to dry for Thursday sunrise - and an epic communal peak moment.

Feeling grateful to collaborate with my friends 1) Scott Hanson / Tycho for over a decade of co-creating Thursday sunrise and 2) master of percussion, Noah Katz-Appel, for the inspired and ecstatic drumming.

Special thanks to everyone who made it out to deep playa for sunrise, Cory, Brigham and the whole Axolotl crew, Tarna, and Edna the Elephant for making magic together.❤️🙏☀️

Burning Man has become one of my favorite places in the world. I love the freedom, the individual expression of everyone who attends, and I love giving the gift of music. A lot of people rave about the sunrises there, but I personally love the sunsets. Seeing the transition of day into night, watching the sun go down and all the lights of the playa come out, it brings me so much joy. I had such a blast performing this sunset set this year. I played lots of new music but also some old favorites that fit the atmosphere. Big love to everyone on the Axolotl Art Car for having me and being so kind and welcoming.

What an privilege it is to get to play on this incredible car again, especially in such a challenging year. So much gratitude to the entire Axo team for your work and for the opportunity. I'm so glad the weather held Monday night and we were able to make some playa magic happen! This set was played Tuesday morning from 330-530am

Back On the Axolotl! - Burning Man 2025

There are suspended moments, which cross between dream and reality. 
This one happened well, surrounded by all my friends, those I love, those who danced... 
Thank you to ¡AXOLOTL! for their welcome and their kindness which made this set an indelible memory. 

Love you all. P

Burning Man. The hardest place on earth and yet at the same time somehow the most amazing place on earth. I must have had a little magic playa dust in my pocket on Saturday as I somehow found myself DJing on the beloved Axolotl (BRC’s favorite flaming amphibian on wheels) from the moment the car left camp at 5:15 pm through sunset into the night, whilst parked at the Man on burn night, until YROC took over just before 9:00 pm.  Hands down one of the best experiences of my life and by far the best DJ experience of my life and thus the set absolutely needed to be re-created as it wasn’t captured live.  Thank you to everyone who had a hand in slightly tilting the universe in my favor that day, particularly my favorite three gals on earth, YROC, Jim, Preston, and all the beautiful people at Camp AXO. 

Leroy @ ¡AXOLOTL! - Sunset on Burn Night at the Man - Burning Man 2025

This recording is from my sunrise set on the Axolotl art car at Burning Man 2025. The music unfolded with the desert light, moving from the light filled night into the warmth of morning. It’s a reflection of that moment when time slows, and the Playa feels suspended between two worlds.

What stays with me most are the smiles, the energy, the eye contact, and the absence of worry I felt from everyone around me. It was a connection I will never forget.

Thank you and much love to the Axolotl Art Car and 1001 Nights family for giving me the space to express myself in the most magical place on earth.
