Burning Man 2025

This Burn, my 4th, hit different. Thank you so much to Toxic Disco Clam for welcoming me and my crew with open arms. After they hosted a dope Afrobeats happy hour, I hopped on the decks and offered a little gift. I hope you all enjoy it. It's a beautiful mix of Deep and Afro House.

Future goal: Play on an art car!

What a whirlwind at Burning Man 2023. I'm slowly combing through my USBs and gathering all the sets. I will be recording a couple that I didn't get to record out there from a sunrise moment on the Janky Barge art car and a funky sunrise set at Bubbles & Bass that didn't happen because of the epic storm. 

Long before the storm, I jammed with the crew at the camp Santo Cabron and brought in the sunset vibes atop the aEyeclops art piece. It was such a beautiful view of the entire city, and I immensely want to thank Love My Robot aka Carolina and Rey Solo aka my BIPOC Beats Collective co-lead Juan for having me and for letting me share space with ya. 

Enjoy the deep sunset vibes turned House love.

What a whirlwind at Burning Man 2023. I'm slowly combing through my USBs and gathering all the sets. I will be recording a couple that I didn't get to record out there from a sunrise moment on the Janky Barge art car and a funky sunrise set at Bubbles & Bass that didn't happen because of the epic storm.

We had to bring the dance party with the fine folks at Camp FUego. I was worried for a second when the fire spinners had to stop because of the winds and impending dust storms. But the crew ended up dancing the night away, and I'm so thankful for the FUego crew and DJ Othaside for giving me that space to experiment.

A truly unforgettable night at Audio SF. It was my debut at this club where I had seen so, so many amazing artists. I'm so thankful I shared it with my dear friend 1 to 1. We packed the house for Romain Garcia, who played such a beautiful set for his San Francisco debut. Thank you to all who showed up and danced and showed out. It was magical. Relive the magic!

This Burn was challenging. The rain and mud cancelled one of the moments I was most excited for: Sunrise with the Bubbles & Bass crew. I've loved the vibes from that camp for years, from watching/listening to folks there like @N2Nmusic and David @Hohme, and it was a dream in itself to be chosen to play. I got to see some dope folks earlier in the week, including my homie Goma one afternoon and an all-femme lineup another morning. The energy and love were so high! 

With this one, I wanted to give a little funk, a little soul, a little Latinidad, and a little history (and an homage to Osunlade at the end, who would have also played that Saturday morning.) I felt drawn to record the music that would have inspired the moment. Unforgettable. Thanks so much to StephyV and Lidia Lo (who would've played after me!) for the encouragement! 

Check out their Bubbles & Bass moments!

I hope y'all enjoy, and let's do a little sunrise moment next year :)

What a lovely night at Monarch on 11/11. My homie @stephyVdj and I took over the Monarch lounge as @Syd-Gris and @thescumfrog made magic in the basement. It was an evening full of musical appreciation, and I’m grateful for every moment. 

I opened up the night with this set expressing such a range of House music love, from Chicago and Detroit classics from legends like Todd Terry to contemporary tracks from the likes of Homero Espinosa, Floorplan, Jamie Jones, Gene Farris, Sam Divine, and more from the Defected archives.

Live @ Monarch SF - Support set for The Scumfrog, Syd Gris | Opel - Nov. 2023

This week, we've got a special memory from earlier this month when I played a B2B with my homie @djpixxie during a Polaris and Friends takeover of the RIDE stage at The Midway in San Francisco. It happened during an incredible day at Nora En Pure's Purified Block Party. It was a dream come true to play on the same day as one of my favorite artists and inspirations. 

I've got the raw, unedited recording of our set for anyone who wants to listen (it includes me and Taylor bantering, and the sound is accidentally drawn from my iPhone mic. DM me if you want to relive that moment.) But here's a set I recorded solo before the event. I'll call it my interpretation of the B2B set.

So thankful for the folks who put this event together. It was truly beautiful.

A Night at Nora En Pure's Purified Block Party (Black Panda’s Version)

I had the honor to play a dope silent disco set to a packed outdoor floor for Opel 22. Special shoutout to @syd-gris for having me. I knew Gorgon City and Azzecca would be throwing down hard inside so I thought: Give the people some classic house that fills the soul. We went on a journey through all sorts of soulful and jackin classics, even some UKG, and I even threw in a couple of originals and reworks. So much love for all the folks who came out, supported, and vibed out. Such a beautiful time.

MK Live @ 1015 Folsom - Dec 2024

I had the pleasure of playing for the incredible New York-based Burning Man camp Bubbles & Bass on New Year's Day. 

We had some unforeseen issues with the mixer recording, so this one is truly live: It's drawn from my camera's internal microphone so the quality may be more raw than usual. You'll hear chatter in the background, including my own. I tried my best to reduce it. 

Still, I wanted to share this bit of history for me: It was my first time getting booked in my hometown, New York City. Sincerest gratitude to the @bubbles-and-bass fam for having me. Here's to many, many more memories together. 

Playlist to come.

After a challenging start to the week, I had the pleasure of bringing all the soulful jack to BAAAHS on Friday night of this year's Burning Man. So much love for the BAAAHS team for having me to the beautiful Event Horizon art piece. We start off strong with some Detroit techno and land gracefully with the soulful house. Enjoy!

It's here! My @bubbles-and-bass set from Burning Man 2025. This was my fave moment on playa this year, and so I can't wait to share it with you. Tracklist incoming!

Black Panda - Bubbles & Bass - Burning Man 2025 - Tuesday Closing Set

I absolutely loved playing at Fauxliage, an intimate camp known for its beautiful greenery in the desert, during this year's Burning Man. They appreciate it when artists experiment. So whenever I show up there, I dig deep in the crates for some darker than usual grooves. If you were there IRL, you'd know we had some tech difficulties mid-set. But this set was just so bumping that I had to re-record the magic for everybody.

I had the honor of playing on San Francisco House legend David Harness's debut Mighty Real T-Dance Stage at Oakland Pride this year. Thanks to every single person who pulled up to dance and share their art this year. It truly meant the world for me to be there and to be welcomed with open arms.

Black Panda Opening for DJ Heather - Strut SF F8 - December 2025

Black Panda's debut single on Bread Box Records is a reminder of the vulnerability in shared bliss. Behind every dreamy synth and jackin drum, there's a feeling of euphoria that washes over us on and off the dance floor.

I absolutely LOVE when I can take people through the story of a night. Thanks so much to Chuck Gunn for giving me the space to do that. Seeing all the homies pull up midway through the set made it all the better, and I hope you can feel that as the energy picks up and descends into the end of the night. *Fixed the recording because it was rendered fast for some reason!*

Live Extended  Soulful House Set @ Double Dutch - The Lookout SF - Feb 2026

I had the pleasure of playing for 2+ hours in the courtyard of the San Francisco Mint during Electroluxx After Dark. We had an absolute ball outside with the people. Thanks so much to all the dancers, to my fellow DJs for the night at our stage, vRok and Booty Juice, and to Electroluxx and NPU.live for having us and for throwing yet another incredible party. The way they transform venues is uncanny. The first two hours are me solo and the rest of the set is a snippet of the rare PandaRok b2b with vRok.

Kween Ane's Royal Ball - Burning Man 2019

Every year, a merry band of illuminated trash pandas glides to the Trash Fence, without expectations, to revel in the darkness and gaze at Black Rock City. This year, we gave out Gluwine, had lovely conversations, jammed out for hours and hours, and attracted a few Art Cars along the way.

Trash Fence Party - Burning Man 2019

On the night the Man burned, we watched from the Mammoth and gazed in awe at the city around us. Here's the first half of that four-hour set.

Writer by day, DJ by night. I'm Eddie Rios aka Black Panda. An Oakland-based DJ and producer with a deep appreciation for all things house, especially afro, deep, melodic, progressive, and classic. Co-lead of the BIPOC Beats Collective, a group of BIPOC Burners who want to diversify musical spaces on and off playa. I've also joined DJ/producer Justin Jay's production bootcamp for 2023-2024. 

Music builds an emotional connection and creates a connective tissue between mind, body, and soul. I'm hoping to make every moment memorable.
