Experiencing the Playa at night is the quintessential Burning Man experience. The untamed energy, the chaos, the sensory overload, the cacophony of sounds coming at you from all angles, all mixed with the extreme weather conditions the desert throws at you - it is pure pandemonium in the best sense of the word. It made me feel small and insignificant - in a good way. As my ego faded I more and more felt at one with my surroundings, ready to love and contribute.  As I started playing the bus pulled out of the camp. A surreal scene that reminded me of the Pied Piper unfolded - hordes of burners following the iconic heart into the open desert. But where I had anticipated the Robot Heart set to be a big "me" - moment, it felt quite like the opposite - just adding my small voice to this large and beautiful orchestra that is Burning Man. And that is how pretty much my entire first Burning Man experience went. And it's exactly this what makes it the best place in the world.

Patrice Baumel - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

Unless you've been hiding under your Grandmother’s electric blanket for the past few weeks – or sensibly departed for warmer climes - you may have noticed things are still rather grey and chilly outside. Yes, as those gloomy folk on Game Of Thrones predicted, winter did indeed arrive and unfortunately seems unwilling to leave of its own accord.  So, with one eye on the thermometer we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands and warm ourselves up with a hot mix from Russian born Brookylnite, Serge Devant. 

Serving as the heat seeking cousin of the more famous ‘rain dance’, Serge’s sections are the the tonic we’ve been looking for in these meteorologically dreary times and follow on from a number of auspicious studio efforts that have seen him moving souls and soles the world over. 

Plotting the biggest of 2016s – he kickstarted his year with the Always On My Mind EP for Crosstown Rebels – we think you’ll be hard pushed to many artists who will blow up in a bigger way this summer. So if you want to stay one step ahead of the curve and remain you’re friends go to guy or gal when it comes to all things contemporary house, you know what to do.

“When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, put some headphones on my head and rock and roll me when I’m dead.”
