"Mayan Warrior once again blew minds at Burning Man. Big sound, big lasers. I got to plug in my USB’s on Monday night and had a great time. Set link in bio.

People take it almost for granted but it’s such a technical and logistical challenge to run an artcar in the desert.

Festival grade tech - generators, PA, lighting etc - has to fit inside a tiny bus and kept running for a week. Overheating is the main danger, mechanical wear and tear due to dust and vibration is substantial. Generators need constant refueling. Easier said than done when the fuel truck does not show up due to sandstorms.

Then you need a bunch of security to keep people from being run over or falling off the artcar. The chaos these crews have to manage is substantial.

It takes a village. 🙏🏽❤️"

my closing set for carl craig at do not sit on the furniture. ! it was an excellent opportunity to blend new tracks with some of my favorite oldies. give it a listen and i truly hope you enjoy the musical journey! 🎧

closing set for carl craig @ do not sit on the furniture (03-18-2023)

I was thinking about all the long waits in line for Burning Man tickets over the years and decided to give some of you something to listen to while the walking person icon slowly makes its way across the screen holding all our hopes in its little tiny pixel hands. 

The wait time  is usually about as long as it took to get from one side of the playa to the other last year after it rained and the playa shrimp rose up to attempt to take over the world!! 

Burning Mud. Mudding man. Raining man. Remember the wild stories (all from the outside media or Diplo and Chris Rock) vs the kindness and generosity of strangers out on the playa. I hope, even if faced with adversity last year, maybe, just maybe, you also saw how wonderful people can be when called upon in a ‘crisis’. 

I was lucky enough to stay until Tuesday night and grateful to still get to play a sunrise on the Robot Heart albeit a few days later than planned. There was so much love in the air that (finally) beautiful morning. If you missed it or want to listen once more or are just bored and looking for something to distract you while waiting in line for this years tickets (I’ll be waiting too) then here’s burning man/mud/magic 2023.  Feel the love in the air and the tickle of playa shrimp on the soles of your feet.

Lee Burridge - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2023

For pretty much the whole year I’m either headed towards or away from Burning Man. 

Each year out there there’s this moment in space and time where I feel perfectly balanced between the two. It’s a moment where time stands still, just for a second. 

That moment is when the first ember of the day’s sun peaks over the mountain top to begin its journey once more. 

I try to find a piece of music to express the feeling of stillness and presence I get.  This year the sun was kind enough to arrive 1 hour 28 minutes and 40 seconds into this mix. I was in awe. I’m still in awe.

Some of the magic of the playa for me is where the nature blends with boundless creativity. Where love meets wonder and we get to laugh, dance and play. Add a dash of music for good measure and, for a moment, that magic catches its breath to take it all in, and stands still.

2024 was one of my favorite years ever. Thank you to all you artists and lovers, cooks and cuddlers. To all those who toil for months before and after to make it happen and to anyone who gave anything to another. You’re all amazing. I’m currently headed back towards (or is it away from) that moment once more.

Lee Burridge - Monkey Project: Sunset Sessions

“Any experience, whether musical or not, at Burning Man always has something unique and special about it. Even though it happens every year, no two are ever the same. In fact, as it becomes a tradition, there’s a sense of trust and expectation that makes the moment always breathtaking. That’s exactly how I feel about my performance at Pink Mammoth. I truly feel like part of the family — because of the way they treat me and how deeply connected I feel to this tribe.

This year, two magical things happened during the gig. First, the arrival was epic. I had to cross the playa during one of the biggest dust storms I’ve seen at Burning Man in my eight years there. At times, it literally turned to night. My friends, despite being completely exhausted on Sunday and facing harsh conditions, didn’t let anything stop them from showing up to support me. Amazing!

Second, a mix-up in the set times caused my session to overlap with the wonderful Sinca's. Neither of us were big fans of doing a B2B, especially since we hadn’t built a prior connection, and it was the first time we were meeting! But the connection was instant, and the magic unfolded as we synced through music from the very first second, feeling completely at ease throughout the process.
Close your eyes and immerse yourself in the beautiful moment we experienced at Pink Mammoth that Sunday afternoon.”

 

Hugs!

Lee Burridge - Radio One Essential Mix

I don't normally love to upload live sets, I like to play music in the moment. I believe it's difficult to understand the emotions of a Dj mix through a computer or headphones without the energy of the dance floor, but I want to share this with you all because this last weekend in London was one of the best evenings I have ever experienced. 

Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy the mix

Lee Burridge - DISTRIKT - Burning Man 2019

It’s been a while since I played DISTRIKT last. After this years experience I’m somewhat kicking myself. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crowd at Burning Man so wild and fun. The party was electric. Fire! And, it was only Tuesday. ‘Pacing it’ was obviously out of the question for the five thousand or so that joined me. The Robot Heart bus rolled up and plugged in. Hoj tore the place up before me. Our day party extended into night and most of us left with a smile on our faces and an electricity that carried us forward. Beautiful people swung above the crowd in a birdcage (is that safe I kept asking myself in my head)and hips wiggled and swung while the multi-level dance floor bumped and bounced. Basically, best day party at Burning Man ever ever. So, thank you DISTRIKT for giving me an extended set and an amazing party to play. Let’s do it again next year. It’s a date?
