live sets from ¡AXOLOTL!

Burning Man is known for its unpredictability, and this year's experience was no exception.

Dust turned into mud and transformed the smallest trips outside into adventurous hikes just to get to the washroom. 

After being basically locked in the RV for three days and facing the prospect of a long and arduous journey back to Berlin, the news that 'The Man‘ is still going to burn came as a small redemption to the muddy world we had around us.

As some DJs already left the playa I found myself in the most lucky position to be invited to play a set during the prestigious last night of the Festival on one of the best Art Cars. Robot Heart. 

I had the honor to play their car before and felt at home right away. This time shouldn’t be different. 

Thanks guys for greeting me with family feelings and giving me the opportunity to play on your amazing car once again. 

So spontaneous and unprepared this set was it turned out to be a really good one I think.  Can’t go wrong with letting loose:) 

And as always: Thanks everybody who was there for dancing and sharing the love we all needed that night!

"Mayan Warrior, midnight, on a beautiful Wednesday night. An unofficial G camp takeover with all our camp mates playing one after the other on the new beautiful Galaxyer. I had stopped a couple of days earlier to check the new art car and I couldn't be more excited to play. For this set, I wanted my sound to honor how Mayan has influenced me over the years - guitars, indie dance, spacey sounds - but I also wanted to bring a bit of how my sound has changed lately, after regular visits to play in Berlin and also a new love for high bpm house music. I felt great when I stepped in. I wanted to be aggressive and I did: Played many new tracks, took some quirky turns and risked the mixing. As with every set, it is hard to take it out of context but It shows exactly how I felt that night. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed it back then.

Thank you Asaf, Jenia, for the unreleased beauties!! Thank you to the Mayan family for creating such an insane platform for expression, I know how much hard work goes on behind the scenes!

Hope to be back soon!"

With love we proudly share the magic of Lato and unders whose musical journey rocked Camp Kiss on Wednesday night. 

A short note from the artists: 
This idea of our back to back was years in the making, the playa provided in a fashion neither of us could have imagined: the most welcoming & solid camp with it’s own super club in its courtyard, an outstanding custom built german sound system and a dance floor full of beautiful humans thriving with an open heart and a thirst for fun, love and anything we threw their way. Thank you KISS and all those who joined for gifting us an unforgettable night, allowing us to experiment and feel free. To be continued…

Fusion, thank you. 🎶🪩🚀

My hybrid set from Friday Morning on Sonnendeck is out now on Soundcloud. I hope you enjoy it!

 It was my first Fusion, definitely not the last. One of the most inclusive, affordable, sustainable and badass events I had a chance to see. The level of creativity, the quality of sound systems, the absence of authority or security, yet the feeling of safety and community. An impressive and powerful sonic city that shows us how the world can be when we work for a greater purpose, together, with strong values. 

This set represents a lot for me, after quite an heart opening trip in Beirut, Lebanon right before Fusion, getting closer to the war opened my eyes to the energies, challenges and times we are living in, while being fuelled and inspired by the beautiful resilience of people. ❤️

The dancefloor as a revolution. Music as a way to heal. The community as a foundation to rebuild the world from the heart space. 🌍   Gratitude to the Sonnendeck crew for the invitation, to everyone who came to dance for the morning session, and big love to old and new friends who made this journey memorable.

Here’s the recording of my closing sunrise DJ set for Nicole & Voyta’s wedding at a castle outside Bordeaux, France. Certainly not your average wedding and certainly not your average wedding DJ set. This took place the final night of the shadow ceremony wedding which I also got to officiate!

Through adversity, we find strength. This year was not without its challenges but it was without a doubt the most wonderful opportunity for growth I have ever had the good fortune to experience. Life is a gift and the human connections we make every day are all that will matter in the end. 

This set for me is a celebration of life and newfound inspiration, I sincerely hope you find joy in listening to it. Thank you to all of the incredible artists who continue to inspire me every day. As Matthew Caws said "the weight is a gift". 

I hope this finds you all happy, healthy and loved.

Eternal gratitude and love to DJ Dane, my brother Dane, Ed, Carol, Jenny, Seth & the DSS crew, Seth and Camp Bisous for hosting us and of course the Axolotl crew for hosting this morning on their beautiful art car. And of course my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us for this wonderful morning and made it a magical moment in time I will never forget.

Burning Man has become one of my favorite places in the world. I love the freedom, the individual expression of everyone who attends, and I love giving the gift of music. A lot of people rave about the sunrises there, but I personally love the sunsets. Seeing the transition of day into night, watching the sun go down and all the lights of the playa come out, it brings me so much joy. I had such a blast performing this sunset set this year. I played lots of new music but also some old favorites that fit the atmosphere. Big love to everyone on the Axolotl Art Car for having me and being so kind and welcoming.

Louis The Child (Sunset Playground Set) [Live @ Burning Man 2025, Axolotl Art Car]

Burning Man. The hardest place on earth and yet at the same time somehow the most amazing place on earth. I must have had a little magic playa dust in my pocket on Saturday as I somehow found myself DJing on the beloved Axolotl (BRC’s favorite flaming amphibian on wheels) from the moment the car left camp at 5:15 pm through sunset into the night, whilst parked at the Man on burn night, until YROC took over just before 9:00 pm.  Hands down one of the best experiences of my life and by far the best DJ experience of my life and thus the set absolutely needed to be re-created as it wasn’t captured live.  Thank you to everyone who had a hand in slightly tilting the universe in my favor that day, particularly my favorite three gals on earth, YROC, Jim, Preston, and all the beautiful people at Camp AXO. 

Leroy @ ¡AXOLOTL! - Sunset on Burn Night at the Man - Burning Man 2025

This recording is from my sunrise set on the Axolotl art car at Burning Man 2025. The music unfolded with the desert light, moving from the light filled night into the warmth of morning. It’s a reflection of that moment when time slows, and the Playa feels suspended between two worlds.

What stays with me most are the smiles, the energy, the eye contact, and the absence of worry I felt from everyone around me. It was a connection I will never forget.

Thank you and much love to the Axolotl Art Car and 1001 Nights family for giving me the space to express myself in the most magical place on earth.

Returning to this utopia in the desert is a dream each year. Having the Sunday slot in my mind for weeks had me thinking I would take it easy leading up to it. I was mistaken. Together with Britta, the Happy Camper gato's and our favourite Robot LEN10 we roamed the desert like there was no tomorrow. Ended up having one of the best weeks of my life and happened to be my perfect warm up to play Robot Heart.  Surrounded by some of my favourite humans on the planet the set came together by relying on ease, love and gratitude.  

Much love to all the shiny disco balls dancing all over the bus & the Playa for the warm hearted support and off course the robots for having me and welcoming me and my friends with open arms. I loved it.
