WE'RE BACK! Thanks for all the messages urging us to reactivate this account and for your personal stories about different mixes we've shared over the years meaning so much to you! All the mixes are offered free and with love, but you can support our hosting costs with a donation of any size at https://venmo.com/moontrolling.

DJs Playaduster & Kaya Rainface are the resident mixologists here and there are several mix themes represented, like Sacred Bass, Bhakti Bass, Solstice-Equinox and blends of world music. These mixes were all originally posted at Destination Burning Man.com over the past decade but that site and podcast feed is in disrepair - we hope to revive it this year so everyone can download the mixes they want - there are 100+ more on our broken site than here on SC. 

For now, we're stoked to be back at your service in 2024, serving up our inspired musical offerings, and really appreciate all the loving, thoughtful feedback from listeners all over the world. Send us a message, be in touch xoxooo

Desert Dwellers is a pioneering electronic music project that bridges the ancient and the future, fusing deep bass, world instrumentation, and psychedelic textures into immersive sonic journeys. Founded in 1999 by Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, the project grew out of the legendary Moontribe gatherings in the deserts of Southern California and Santa Fe, New Mexicos desert rave scene. 

Blending influences from many genres, Desert Dwellers has released dozens of albums and remixes, toured across five continents, and collaborated with an eclectic array of artists from around the world. Their music has graced stages at Symbiosis, Ozora, Lightning in a Bottle, Boom, Envision, Shambhala, and Burning Man, resonating with audiences through both meditative journeys and powerful dancefloor experiences.

In 2026, Desert Dwellers will enter its most significant evolution yet. Co-founder Amani Friend will be stepping away from touring to focus on studio production and other creative pursuits, while a new collaborator joined the project, acclaimed producer and mixing/mastering engineer Sarkis Mikael. While continuing to honor the project’s signature sound and ethos “Music Beyond Borders,” Desert Dwellers is now expanding into bold new sonic territories. Sarkis, with releases on respected labels like Sol Selectas, Saisons, and Hoomidaas, brings a fresh creative spark and deep musical integrity.
