Into the Fire

THE PHARCYDE ON PSYCHEDELICS AND GETTING HIGH ON TURKEY AND BANANAS...

This is my solo set from Burning Medellin on 2-9-24 at Heard From in El Poblado, Medellin, Colombia. House and techno converge and conspire in the mid-bass synth licks and basslines to create my definition of big room dancefloor house.

Subwoofers highly recommended. ;-)

Burner playa self-expression often starts with our own bodies. &nbsp;If you're wearing your work jeans on the playa, then there’s Kostume Kult from New York to fix that for you. &nbsp;Take the K-Train to Kostume Kult, tryon some amazing costumes from their costume tent, and come out looking like a playa super star! &nbsp;Some of the kult's mantras are, “Stray from the flock”, “Choose your own path” and “Have more fun than anyone you know”. &nbsp;Although some would say that they are not a "cult", others would say they are an open collective where all are invited to get involved and get dressed up. &nbsp;#Culture jamming &nbsp;#NYCostume parties!&nbsp;&nbsp;Costume Jim and Eliza, a.k.a. Ass Master, from the famous Kostume Kult of New York and the Esplanade at Black Rock City talk about how they share their passion all year long. &nbsp; Photography by Costume Jim Websites associated with this podcast Facebook Group: &nbsp;https://www.facebook.com/groups/Kostumekult/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KostumeKultPage/ Website: http://www.kostumekult.com/ Flickr Album of their recent Year of the Rooster NY Party
