The Scumfrog: This was a very special night with a very experimental and emotional flow to the set. I thank everyone who was there for being openminded enough to dance through it!

The Scumfrog - Dusty Rhino, Ep 11 - Playa Favorites at Public Works - San Francisco

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

“The Infinite Power of Love” ❤️‍🔥 is the debut collaboration between Mexican producers @bientami and @cosmicdeal, a sound immersed in Deep House and Afro Club, shaped as a track grounded in Afro-Latin roots that speak of memories suspended in time. Rather than limit their vision to a single release, they’ve chosen to unveil two versions — alchemical pieces built around the duality of darkness and illumination, where nostalgia becomes the shadow.

🐪 Released by: @cafedeanatolia

The Infinite Power Of Love (Sunset)

Loser your Mind

🎧 1111 MUSICA – Into The Sound (1111 MUSICA Dubstrumental Mix)

“Into The Sound” is a hypnotic descent into the depths of consciousness — a place where rhythm becomes language and emotion becomes movement. 1111 MUSICA crafts a slow-burning underground journey built on pulsing low-end, trance-inducing vocals, and a rolling groove that pulls you deeper with every bar.

This track is all about surrendering to the atmosphere. It blurs the line between human intuition and sonic technology, merging raw heartbeat energy with futuristic textures. As the looped mantra unfolds, a sense of weightlessness takes hold — the feeling of losing yourself, willingly, inside the sound itself.

Made for late-night rooms, shadowy dancefloors, and those moments when time disappears, “Into The Sound” celebrates the pure, primal connection between body and beat.

Let go. Drop in. Drift deeper.
You’re already inside the sound.

Momu Qoöl Set 10-6-18 (111 Minna 25th Anniversary Party)

Well well well It's my 100th mix released on Soundcloud and damned if it's not my favorite!

I worked unusually hard on this set for 3 reasons - 
(1) I wanted to play mostly new music and that takes more time to understand and prepare
(2) the multitude of great djs on the We Are All One lineup ignited my fire to stand out
(3) the massive effort to detail by the organizers on the event made me want to give something comparably special in my music. 
 
The result is something I'm truly proud of!  I've been adventurous with music lately and this mix is a textured journey including a lot of tripped-out minimal house and techno with some progressive and breakbeat elements.  There is a lot of melody which is tricky to work with.  

By the way, I don’t use “mix in key” and there’s a long explanation why but basically I learned to mix by ear and I often prefer a tripped out (though not quite dissonant) sound when mixing which can’t be achieved mathematically by always having everything perfect, but rather is obtained by careful experimentation and auditioning ;)  

For similar reasons I never use the sync button - electronic music is mathematical in many ways but it’s also programmed with swing so it doesn’t sound monotonous because too exact is not exciting.  Mostly the argument against sync is that it makes things too easy or is ‘cheating’ - but my reason is actually about the sound produced which I find too clean and sterile.  I blogged about this before.
 
There’s a portion of this set that’s mixed on 3 decks!  First time in years :)  Made me want to get a third CDJ at home to challenge myself more.

Huge thank you to MJ, Gambit, Justin, and the Soul State crew for bringing this group of DJs and dancers together and taking care of us so well in a very memorable first-year festival.  
 
So enjoy the ride, and be sure and look out for We Are All One 2020!

LubeJob & VIBESYSTEM - Trying To Get Away

Had a ball bringing the Sunday day party vibes for Coco Poco Loco at this year's virtual Burning Seed. The paddock may have been digital but the love and connection was still burning strong, and the music was of course on point, as always. 😘

Coco Poco Loco - Burning Seed 2020 - Princess Leah

Keeping the vibes strong through the afternoon NYD, ebb + flow / Abracadabra TV resident Saqib electrified the dance floor in the special corner of Avant Gardner we know and love, Gunita's Tavern.

"This set was a very fun, high energy set that was based off the energy in the room that New Year's Day 2020. The room was bumping and jumping. There was a huge rush of excitement for this new decade and new year twenty fuggin twenty! Perfect vision.  It was so innocent, so sweet, our enthusiasm... so precious, haha! This was actually my favorite set of the last year or two... and looking back now... it was such a perfect beginning to such a terrible year! I can never forget this night/day."

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.
