As I biked into deep playa looking for the majestic glowing Maxa deer on Friday night, I kept thinking about how I found out that the reason the deer art car is a deer, is because the legend of how the Mexican tribes found peyote goes that a blue glowing deer appeared and showed them the way to the plant. 

This, of course, as it was told to me when I paid a visit to the Maxa camp a year before the 2024 Burn, after biblical rains paralyzed Black Rock City and decimated my dreams of playing on the Maxa deer… at Sunrise. 

Good things are worth the wait and as I took control of the glowing myth and spirit of the magical deer, I was surrounded by the most amazing crowd in the front, around and behind me. 

This is the musical story of that night, my last and highly proud set of Burning Man 2024. Enjoy!

Live recording from a special night at Do Not Sit, opening the floor for Yamil. I’ve been a longtime fan of his music, so it was a real pleasure to set the tone and build the vibe.

This set moves through deep grooves, warm percussion, and plenty of emotion. Thanks to everyone who came out early and locked in with me.

Hope you enjoy the ride—hit me with a message if anything resonates.

this set flows through deep, melodic, and atmospheric textures. slow burners, late-night grooves, and subtle builds that ease into motion and carry emotion throughout.

big thanks to everyone who came early.
