Journey Into The Deep

Shaun J. Wright & Alinka - Journey Into The Deep (Stereogamous Remix) - Twirl

This was my first ever Burning Man experience. I am in fact still trying to find the right words to describe my experience there. 
Moreover the Robot Heart performance. But sometimes music really shouldn't be described with words. At least in my position being an artist & composer. 
So thank you that this magical journey of mine was recorded!
It was quite something to be on top of that bus as the burners rode in on their bikes. And when the bus took off watching everyone jump right back on their bikes and follow the bus in what I can only call a ‘mass exodus’ onto the playa. I decided to dig deep into my old productions and new and some of my favourite journey tracks for this mix.
Thank you, big hug and love to all who joined in and danced along, and to Camp David, Robot Heart & Jonny for getting me involved.
I hope to be a part of this again. Either way, I’ll See you again next year for sure!
 
-Volta.

Eric Volta -  Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

This is Africa's Burning Man...the event is held in the Karoo desert, where about 10 000 people share a unique experience

Few words can explain the AfrikaBurn experience. I still need time to reflect on what just happened the past week and bring feelings to words...

A massive thanks to a great family of friends for such special moments... as well as Michael Kennedy and his team for a mammoth effort of bringing  "The Spirit Train " to life and trucking 5 coaches and a tractor through a tough terrain into the desert ! Well done guys, everyone appreciated the great line ups and no doubt was one of the most popular at Afrikaburn.

Until AfrikaBurn 2016

Dreams & Claps

SPA018 - C. DA AFRO - Dreams & Claps

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert … Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

– Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Stereo Express @ AfrikaBurn 2017, Hauptbahnhof (2017)

This week at Afrikaburn is hard to put into words.. so many new friends, unforgettable moments and great music.. It really is more of an experience than a festival.
I will never forget those magical days in the desert - Thank you to the whole Hauptbahnhof Family for being such amazing human beings <3

This is the set I played on Saturday evening for sunset at our little station.. and as so often at Afrikaburn, things turned out a little different than expected. In the second half of my set, a fireranger came up to the DJ-booth and told me to stop the music because of a silent burn that was going to happen at the Temple of Gratitude. But although the set isn't "finished" as it was intended, I still wanted to share those 100 minutes with you. I hope you enjoy!

A Sunset at AfrikaBurn - Hauptbahnhof 2017

Hey Burners,

this year was a tough one. A lot of people got sick.. less art but many big soundsystems and stages loaded with masculin energy. In my opinion most of them failed to really create a vibe, to bring in some love. The whole burn seemed like a proper full on rave. Why does it always need to be so big? Why so over-ambitious? Make it small, cosy, welcoming with a soul.. The music was very forward, bigroom, techno or trance heavy. Not so inspiring to me. I dont think ill be back in Tankwa anytime soon. So this is also a bit of goodbye music for all these wonderful souls that we’ve met onto this big journey that started here with a lighthouse over two years ago. Its a compilation of the tracks that i’ve played at my gigs this year, mostly the owl on friday and hauptbahnhof on tuesday.

enjoy

Afrikaburn 2017 - Welcome Home Stranger

I have no words for the feeling that night at at Afrika Burn gave me. A deep gratitude overcame me when I realized what the dance floor had been evolving to during the set and a profund tribal feeling overcame me when I saw what is possible to create when people work together with a similar vision of creativity and love. The Spirit Train and Hauptbahnhof Crew are the people that brought me to AfrikaBurn for the first time last year, thank you millions of times for giving me that honor to perform again for you guys and the brilliant idea of connecting both sound systems together. I had again the best gig of my life (to me)at  the best party in the world I could ever have imagined.;) Thank you!!!

AfrikaBurn 2017 at The 1+0NLY Camp and Play Lounge. Sweltering heat and cold beers to add to the chilled tunes that inspired this set. Having had a non stop week or playing on some of the biggest "stages" at AB it was just so amazing to take time to reflect with this set on the hectic week and its extraordinary highs playing music for all the amazing Burners.

Cassette @ Afrikaburn (Wonky Willy Stage)

Lobo has LIFE.... 

When I left AfrikaBurn last year I knew I wanted to play on that Spirit. I was not sure how I was going to do it but the intention was strong and if you are going to learn anything about The Burn, it is that intention is the key to achieving in that magical space. I asked to play and Michael Kennedy said yes! I still reel from that when I write this and I will be forever grateful and in awe for the opportunity given.

As Lobo announced his arrival at Hauptbahnhof Station the atmosphere was electric. People walking in from all directions, the expectation was huge! All I wanted to do was get it going but I was forced to wait and in turn to soak it all in as the crew were plugging in to the sound system at the station. We were going to be playing off a full surround sound setup that was almost certainly going to blow your heart clean into the stratosphere. Eventually what seemed like an eternity my gear was plugged in and I sit here still in disbelief as to if it really happened. 

One of the best experiences of my life. Truly a dream come true to feel the movement of everyone on that perfect Wednesday night.  saw on the desert dance tears, laughter and love.

There is something about the Tankwa that changes the music in some way or form I cannot describe. It sounds better, it feels more, it becomes magic. Is it because we are in place that predates the dinosaurs? This is an old place and whatever it is, it changes what we feel and how sound travels. Fuller, richer, more beautiful... 

My expectations ended up being meaningless because I was living the unimaginable. 
I loved playing alongside that Spirit that is Lobo. 
Thank you.

Veridium - Spirit Train Wed Night - AfrikaBurn 2017

Groovy rolling bass lines, minimal, acid and 90s house can all be heard in Cassette's sets and productions.

Not one to be pigeon holed, or limited by others’ perceptions, Cassette draws influence from many genres.

Early attendance at raves listening to Breaks, Garage, Drum n Bass and Chicago House, combined with her upbringing on Jazz & Soul have all helped shape her into the dynamic selector she is today.

Whether it be deep minimal tech or jacking old skool house there is a certain groove evident in all her musical choices that sets her sound apart from the masses. Cassette got soul!

Her infectious personality and creative sets continue to prove her reputation as a deserving local favourite.
She has strong support from renowned Sydney collectives S.A.S.H, Return to Rio, Blueprint, Subsonic and her own brand BODYWORK.

Internationally, her mixes and productions have been featured on radio stations, websites and blogs around the world resulting in club and festival gigs in Europe, USA, Africa, Mexico, Dubai and Asia.

Her music knowledge and creativity is not limited to the club scene, she has previously completed projects for VIVID Sydney and  been headhunted to work with high-end brands Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Harpers Bazaar, Nike and Adidas.

So what's on the horizon for cassette? She continues to grow her own brand and record label BODYWORK which she runs with her bff DJ Danni B. Bodywork is fast developing it's own loyal cult following, branching out into art fashion and records. With an EP and plenty of unreleased bombs under her belt I'd advise you to stay tuned cause Cassette is worth the hype...
