To listen to

Guy J - April Set

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: The blood, sweat, and tears of 30+ human beings, who bore their souls to make this mix possible.  A good solid chunk of techno/house music, both new and old.  

USES: Use of this mix is unadvised if it is referred to as “Trance” or “Deep”.  People who feel the only good records are those that came out within the last 5 (working days), should not use this mix.  People who wear scarves in August (unless you specifically live in the Southern Hemisphere or the North Pole, in which case, please also use a jacket), should not use this mix.  People who have frequent urges to hold their mobile phones to request songs from DJs should not use this mix.  People who feel they are electronic music aficionados because they have been to Electric Daisy Carnival, and anyone that thinks image is more important than substance, should not use this mix.  Lastly, people who feel it is pretentious to say who should and shouldn’t listen to this mix...you’re totally right!!

DIRECTIONS: Please respect the music and listen on a proper soundsystem or headphones, those listening on laptop speakers or headphones that came free with your mp3 device will not experience any of the benefits of the mix; those using Beats by Dre will only experience partial benefits. 
Listen once daily as needed.  Increased dosage on Mondays and Wednesdays is highly recommended to combat general malaise of ‘early week boredom’.  Removal of black clothing is highly recommended during the listening process, unless you are a blood relative of Johnny Cash, or are listening en route to a funeral - in which case we would like to express our condolences. 

SIDE EFFECTS/WARNINGS: Side effects may include, but are not limited to; an uncontrollable urge to dance, feelings of euphoria (extremely common if taken as prescribed).  Users who skip forward through the mix in search of tracks they know, will not feel any of these (positive) side effects. 

If you have been prescribed this mix by accident, continue to take the recommended dosage until the required effect takes place. If you expect to hear ‘Carny’, or any similar records that you have already heard a million times before, please discard immediately.

This is a Pleasurekraft joint.  

On a serious note - we know we don't put out many promo or live recorded mixes - so when we first started thinking about this year's mix we knew it had to be special. Here you have over 2 hours of music full of tracks old and new - that we feel reflect the wide spectrum of genres in dance music that are closest to our hearts.  We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did making it. 
Much love to you for listening, and of course, a huge thank you to all the artists who made this mix possible with their incredible work. 
See you on a dancefloor near you.

Recorded live July 5, 2014 prior to doors open - at one of the crown jewels of the global dance scene - the one and only U Street Music Hall in the great city of Washington D.C.

Rewind 2015: Re-issues In 2015

"I will never forget my first burn in 2008. Searching for good music on the playa back then was not as easy as recent years. Every corner was blasting either dubstep or electro type of genres  which was not in my interest and finding Robot Heart by accident during a night time adventure with my friends was one of the best find on the playa. 2008 was also Robot Heart's 1st year in Burning Man and as I remember I was one of the 100 people dancing right in front of it and dreaming that one day I will be playing on this amazing stage on wheels. It was only few years after that on the night Damian Lazarus took over the bus with his party called "Rebel Heart". After that night my whole perspective on music completely changed and I was so influenced by that night's unheard music that I made a record called "Rebel Heart" as soon as I got home from the Burn, which shaped up my whole career in the right direction. It was such an honor to finally make the dream come true and be part of Robot Heart's line up last year. Big thank you to Robot Heart crew for making this happen and taking great care of me while I was performing on Wednesday night. Looking forward for more exciting years to come."

"It was an honor and a pleasure to play the Robot Heart bus again this year on Sunday night. After an amazing love-filled week, and a truly moving performance art piece with inspiring quotes from Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet", I was super excited to start the final night's festivities. The wind was blowing strong, the air was chilly, but the vibes were warm and strongly felt. I hope you enjoy my slow building sonic journey, and that it brings back positive memories of another incredible week on the Playa. I'd like to send a huge thank you hug to Swamy, Benjamin, Dill, and the entire Robot Heart family for their continued hospitality and support. And of course, thank you to all you beautiful Burners who danced under the desert moonlight with us.  See you next year in the dust!!"

YokoO - Robot Heart - Further Future 002

"Gusts of swirling dust and fleeting raindrops the size of gumdrops fill the chilled morning sky.  Sunday morning seemed to hint more at the end of days than the end of Burning Man.  We could hardly have grasped any more open and inviting fun!  Defiant to the elements, a soundtrack of psychedelic dub-house disco found its place in the air.  Mixed long & loose on 3 decks with no FX and some cosmic electronica to tie the knot.  Another year on the Robot Heart bus at Burning Man yielding another resonant memory.  Keep the faith."

The year's end, here is a bit of a moody musical reflection on one that portends an uncertain future. Deeper and dubbier ends of the spectrum are explored, but I'd say there's still some optimism shining through as this one concludes.

Requiem: December Dub

Mark Slee - Requiem: December Dub [December 2016]

Sunday morning, the most beautiful sunrise, after almost a whole week in the desert. It was been the coldest night so far, I remember setting up my gear, nervously hoping it wouldn’t let me down, when the sound-technician came up to me and said, "We might have a problem, there’s a storm coming!“. I turned around and saw a huge dark wall of sand reaching up to the sky, rolling into our direction.
I started playing anyways, and somehow the storm merged together with the lyrics of my songs, and changed their meaning. It had been the roughest condition I ever played in, and it really was a special one. Thank you for that experience!

ART:

The Chapel of Dancing Shadows is a space of contemplation, meditation, wonder. It is a communal space serving as art gallery, refuge, and sound bath. The 8-ft walls are covered in delicate drawings— the first 12 images of a developing 150-plate series of works composing Maria Kreyn’s Codex, an allusion to an invented creation myth. The ceiling is an elaborate CNC cut structure, creating the feeling of an arabesque lace canopy. From it hang detailed rafters and a collection of wind chimes, as an ode to the sounds in the temples of Myanmar.   

"As a child, I doodled. As an adult, the images have evolved into a complex universe in their own right-- a surreal, yet classically inspired world of fantasy, illusion, spatial bending, and mythology. The images are meanderings through the labyrinths of the subconscious. They gesture at a creation myth of an invented civilization, at the beauty and aesthetic of pattern making in the human mind--both visual and literary.  As this body of work evolves, the images find new outlets, new homes, new media to participate in. Making their debut as the walls of an immersive installation (The Chapel of Dancing Shadows), they are now available to enjoy in a smaller, more intimate print form, closer to their original size.”  -Maria
