Live from the spectacular Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary at La Jolla Indian Reservation in Southern California, this set weaves deep house and tech house over 3 hours plus from 9pm to a little past midnight on the closing night of the festival.

It was an honor to play such an amazing event!  Thanks to the Desert Hearts crew - Kristoff, Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Matt (Marbs), David (Porkchop), Ryan (Deep Jesus), and what must have been 100+ volunteers to make the party all that it was.  I don't think I've ever seen so much art at an event, super impressive feel and vibe around all the art pieces and deco elements present.  Everyone was buzzing about it.  Such excellent organization and signage everywhere, it was really a sight to behold.  Many people were shocked by the high level of production at this event and the only reason I wasn't is that I have been to the 2 prior Desert Hearts events and also collaborated twice with the crew as "Tropical Hearts" - so... I had a feeling about this one :)  My expectations were high, and were still exceeded...

Last I want to thank the DH crew for letting me extend my set in Treavor's absence (his flight from Canada was cancelled) rather than filling in with someone not on the lineup.  I am biased of course but I believe you made the right call :)

Ben Annand Live at Desert Hearts One Year Anniversary, November 10, 2013

Sometimes you realize that it's burn day and you have WAY too much leftover meat in various coolers at somewhat questionable temperatures. So you pull the grill out to the bar, and fire her up. Other campmates bring more food, you get out the megaphone and feed the neighborhood all day. If you're lucky, your favorite dj from home (and role model camp creator)will have camped with you that year and magically have 12 hours of songs with words on them AND be in the mood to not leave the decks all day. History will be made and a favorite tradition formed. Minds blown, songs sung at the top of many lungs, and much dust kicked up by many boots.

Years later you'll want to start a soundcloud page for camp, and maybe drag your feet for a while, but along will come a mix, slaved away on throughout a pandemic, by the very dj that set the tone for that magical experience. Part of a series representing our remergence from said pandemic, and a certain psychedelic therapy that feels like a romp around the playa. So you’ll start the soundcloud and just like the Annual Impromptu Questionable Meat Bonanza, a new platform for us to express ourselves will be created under the guidance of the same dj who’s already had such an indelible impact on our culture. 

We're thrilled to have @djspaceotter be the first mix we post here, and look forward to sharing more mixes from our other crazy talented camp mates, and friends!

DBR ❤'s: Spaceotter

Finally got my recording back from LIB and I'm immediately transported back to the rollercoaster of emotions I experienced that weekend. 

Between the heat, dust and being around tens of thousands of people after going through a pandemic, it's safe to say I was a little rusty at festivaling. On top of it, my legs felt like floppy noodles from how anxious I was to play the prime set time Friday night at the Junkyard. This is something I experience often before gigs, the sweats, self deprecating internal thoughts, imposter syndrome. I questioned if I belonged here or if I earned it. Then I mixed in and immediately felt at home. I thought to myself "Bitch you know what you're doing" and went on to play one of those "highlights of my career" sets for me personally. 

The rest of the night and weekend was a breeze, and the magic of LIB was amplified. I was able to see the thousands of smiling faces in front of me, the above and beyond details The Do Lab had added and updated, and realized this was so many people's first festival back and they could not be happier about it. I could not be happier about it. 

I hope that you enjoy it and that you're happy too. 

P.S. it's just in time to secure your tickets for 2023. Get your tickets on Thursday, November 17th when they go live!

racheltorro @ the junkyard, lighting in a bottle - june 2022

Jay Tripwire

On the first night of my first burn this past year, I found myself in the (apparently quite rare) position of playing my first ever DJ set at Burning Man on the fabled @robotheartfoundation bus.

It wasn’t until I arrived at the RH bus after completing my first deep playa bike ride that I was acutely aware of the true nature of this rolling musical monolith. The bus is a mobile sound station, a portable dance party of epic proportions. And where it went, sound would emit, humans would dance, and energy would exchange.

I got to the decks atop the bus, which was well-stocked with every Burning Man archetype I had ever imagined, and many more. Musically, I had no idea how I would be received, but I pushed forward just doing my thing in a way that I thought would translate into this alien, yet strangely familiar setting: a sound system, a DJ booth, and a dance floor.

Listening back to this mix, I am struck with an element of “you had to be there,” that it is difficult for a recording to properly convey the sentiment that myself and the audience experienced that night. When I DJ-it’s very human - I don’t use sync, looping, or Rekordbox and I never pre-plan anything. I use the CDJs as though they are turntables, and my style is especially discernible in this mix.

A big thank you to the Robot Heart crew, especially @benji.ski and @shafferj for giving me such a warm welcome and trusting this BM virgin with the reigns of their seasoned chariot, as well as @gunitaislisted for making my journey to the playa possible. Maybe we ‘ll do it again sometime.

One night at Forest Creek for Reflect's Afterglow Festival (October 11-13, 2024) in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Thanks to Trent/Citrus Age, Erika/Copeland, Jared/Sloth, Samadhi Flow, and the whole Reflect crew for having me. Big thanks to Rave Daddy Otter Dan for taking such good care of me. And to everyone who showed especially Courtney, Todd, Scott and the DBR crew, my loves Black Velveteen & Lexi, Susan for being a great age-appropriate old school rave buddy, and so many people for grooves and great conversations. And a very special thanks to Jen Davidowitz for inspiring me to recreate this set.

Deep Down Inside.....where I reside. Where we collide. No divide. Moving as one. Having fun. Spinning around the sun.

Deep Down Inside - Andrew Allsgood

With a heavy heart for my friends affected by fires in Los Angeles this week, I release my set from just a week ago when we started the year with hope and optimism at Subtract and Moon Kitty's super fun shindig to open 2025.  

First of all, big thanks to Treavor and Anton for having me.  It was so, so fun to play this party.  I knew close to half of the people there, had many great conversations and much fun dancing after.  Moontribe DJs are no joke!  So much talent :). Sarkis was great too!  I was happy with my set and am excited to share it.

I lived in various parts of LA for 36 of the 38 years between 1980 and 2018. It is not the world's most beautiful city by any means, but I always tell my friends not from there how special and thriving the underground music scene has always been in LA.  It's a city where you have to know someone to have a good time I think -  one of the least digestible cities as a tourist.

But all it takes, or ever took, is to experience one good LA underground event and a whole world opens up to you.  If you are bored in LA, it's no fault of the music scene.  

For me this one event was 1995's Big Wig Thumper at what was then called the Orange Showgrounds.  Though technically my 3rd rave, the other two were in 1991 when I was just about to graduate high school, and appreciated it but wasn't really ready for it.  Let's just say I hadn't found my dancing shoes yet.  But in 95, I was ready and I never looked back.  I've thrown a hundred parties and DJed hundreds in LA since.  

This is a hard mix description to write because my favorite US city is in flames.  Many of my friends have lost their homes, and several venues I've hosted Tropical at have been destroyed.  It feels inappropriate to promote events there with the fires raging, and I've struggled to even post this mix.

But... it is music.  And music can only help.  

I am here to help in other ways too!  I'm not in LA, but super connected so reach out if you need help.  Also have space in my home in Oregon for friends who want to get away to clean air for a bit.

Hoping for safety for my friends, squashing of fires asap, and then hopefully a hard look at how prepared we are for fires like this, and how we can improve on that <3

Vinyl Dj's will know that perusing your collection, playing all the tracks you normally ignore, can feel like you just scored a bunch of free music. I was playing that game with some older house records, and decided to hit record. Hope you enjoy!

Biography:

In his zone from deep house to techno, Ben Annand pairs impeccably smooth mixing skills with a dynamic style that keeps the music moving, artfully playing with breakdowns and spending most of his time in the mix.

“For me, a great mix is the interplay of 2 unique pieces of music, creating something greater than the sum of the parts - and a great set weaves those mixes into a musical flow you can’t help but lose yourself in on the dance floor.”

Ben fell in love with dancing and rave culture in 1995, and learned to mix in 1996. Just 2 years later he became resident dj at the famed Moontribe Gathering, and started his own production company, Tropical. The first half of his career was mostly focused on DJing abroad, with 13 trips to Moscow’s Propaganda club, travel across Russia, Spain, and Mexico, an appearance at Wiggle at Fabric in London and two at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan.  

In more recent years, Ben Annand became a top West Coast festival DJ, and recently played a standout set at his 5th consecutive Lightning in a Bottle (CA). He has also appeared at Sunset Campout and Desert Hearts (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Photosynthesis and Cascadia (WA), Shambhala and Motion Notion (BC, Canada).

As organizer of Tropical, he's donated over $32,000 to charity, hosted zero-waste events in Hawaii, and presented gender-balanced dj lineups.

Whatever his project,, Ben Annand is always contributing, and always thinking outside the box.
