Mayan Warrior is the result of a collaborative project that has united artists, craftsmen, photographers, designers, technologists, architects and musicians from Mexico City and Northern California. 

The project’s original intent was to present to the world the incredible ascent of contemporary Mexican electronic music while paying respect to the deep and ancient sources from which that visual and auditory culture had grown.


Both light and sound are curated by some of the world’s most prominent artists to transport participants to the very origins of the culture – and to a new understanding of contemporary electronic expression.

AND YES: Mayan Warrior is driven from Mexico City to the playa – and back – each year. It's a labor of love and we're glad so many people enjoy it.

Organic/Deep House. Progressive/Melodic house and techno producer.

Pitfield is a British native focused on creating driving yet melodic and deep house, minimal techno and similar genres and releases frequent DJ sets in those genres.

Anton Tumas moves through the worlds of DJing, promotion, production, and label curation with quiet precision. For well over a decade, his work has been grounded in a deep respect for electronic music’s craft and culture, leaving a lasting mark without the need for fanfare.

From LA’s underground clubs to desert gatherings like Moontribe and Burning Man, and festivals including Lightning in a Bottle, Further Future, and Woogie Weekend, Anton has shared the stage with artists such as Hernán Cattáneo, DJ Tennis, and Danny Howells. His selections traverse the edges of house, techno, and electronica—guided by an ear for the forward-thinking and timeless.

As a promoter, he’s built experiences that speak for themselves. His Subtract On The Pier residency has transformed Long Beach into a destination for world-class talent, hosting everyone from Doc Martin and Lee Burridge to Patrice Bäumel and Mathew Jonson. As producer of the Love Long Beach Festival, he curates with precision and vision, drawing over 10,000 people each year.

Subtract, the record label he founded, reflects the same philosophy: releasing only when the music demands it. Each record is chosen with care, featuring artists from emerging voices to veterans like John Digweed, Stimming, and Matthew Dekay. The label’s consistency speaks to Anton’s uncompromising standard for quality.

In recent years, he’s brought that same discipline to his own productions. His music has appeared on All Day I Dream, Sudbeat, Balance, Endless, Sol Selectas, and his own Subtract imprint, including collaborations with Hernán Cattáneo, Dave DK, and Jamie Stevens. Patient and exacting, his work carries the same refined sensibility that defines his DJ sets and events.

For Anton, the work is never finished. In his own words: “We’re in an ever-evolving landscape, inventing it as we go. One thing is certain: We're only getting started"

My name is Benny. These are my songs. I hope you hate them as much as I do. 🫶🏼
