Sasha b2b Hernan Cattaneo | Live In Denver 12.2.23 - Part 1

For me, Burning Man signifies entering a dimension of freedom and maximum expression, a place where I can take risks but also the ideal spot to play my favorite music, not necessarily dance music. I remember finishing my set at the camp where I had set up, then biking under the scorching sun towards DISTRIKT. A pleasant sandstorm swept over me as I pedaled to reach the opposite side of the playa... the magic fueled by a small bottle of mezcal and there I am at the controls of one of my favorite sound camps... I cherish these moments, the scents, the embraces, the gazes, and smiles of the audience. Music is magic, but even more so, a mystery!

Jonathan Kaspar - When We Dip 144 (Live @ Stereo Montreal - All Night Long)

I was thinking about all the long waits in line for Burning Man tickets over the years and decided to give some of you something to listen to while the walking person icon slowly makes its way across the screen holding all our hopes in its little tiny pixel hands. 

The wait time  is usually about as long as it took to get from one side of the playa to the other last year after it rained and the playa shrimp rose up to attempt to take over the world!! 

Burning Mud. Mudding man. Raining man. Remember the wild stories (all from the outside media or Diplo and Chris Rock) vs the kindness and generosity of strangers out on the playa. I hope, even if faced with adversity last year, maybe, just maybe, you also saw how wonderful people can be when called upon in a ‘crisis’. 

I was lucky enough to stay until Tuesday night and grateful to still get to play a sunrise on the Robot Heart albeit a few days later than planned. There was so much love in the air that (finally) beautiful morning. If you missed it or want to listen once more or are just bored and looking for something to distract you while waiting in line for this years tickets (I’ll be waiting too) then here’s burning man/mud/magic 2023.  Feel the love in the air and the tickle of playa shrimp on the soles of your feet.

For pretty much the whole year I’m either headed towards or away from Burning Man. 

Each year out there there’s this moment in space and time where I feel perfectly balanced between the two. It’s a moment where time stands still, just for a second. 

That moment is when the first ember of the day’s sun peaks over the mountain top to begin its journey once more. 

I try to find a piece of music to express the feeling of stillness and presence I get.  This year the sun was kind enough to arrive 1 hour 28 minutes and 40 seconds into this mix. I was in awe. I’m still in awe.

Some of the magic of the playa for me is where the nature blends with boundless creativity. Where love meets wonder and we get to laugh, dance and play. Add a dash of music for good measure and, for a moment, that magic catches its breath to take it all in, and stands still.

2024 was one of my favorite years ever. Thank you to all you artists and lovers, cooks and cuddlers. To all those who toil for months before and after to make it happen and to anyone who gave anything to another. You’re all amazing. I’m currently headed back towards (or is it away from) that moment once more.

Feathers & Bones - Mixtape #02 [February 2025]

¨It's always an honor to play at the Warrior and this one was special in so many levels. A new chapter began with the Galaxyer, it´s different but felt the same. It was Saturday night after the man burned surrounded by dust storms and fire twisters. Saturdays are always like our New Year Celebration, sharing with our family and friends, everyone is still buzzing after a tough week playing in the desert. It's always challenging to play on this night as everyone is running on fumes, but it feels special to be a part of the closing ceremony. Usually Burning Man is the time of the year when I really unplug but this year I had to be close to my family, I’m thankful I was able to be back in time to say goodbye. Love You. ¨

Kawas - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2024

After a string of releases on 96 Musique and labels like Armada and Hexagon, KuKs is back with a new single that pushes boundaries. On “Bulgar”, the French producer teams up with Greek talent Nikos Tryfonopoulos for a deep and trippy Afro House track infused with Bulgarian flavors. As the title suggests, “Bulgar” taps into Balkan influences, built around a striking oriental-style guitar riff that instantly sets the tone. The groove is deep, the mood is hypnotic, and the result is a track that’s both dancefloor-ready and full of character. KuKs, who has racked up over a million streams and received support from heavyweights like Tiësto, Don Diablo, and Fedde Le Grand, continues to carve his own path in the global house scene. Nikos, known for his textured productions and support from names like CamelPhat and Joseph Capriati, brings a unique touch that elevates the track into something special.

The Walls Remember Everything

For the past 20 years Paul has curated his own Composure Records UK digital imprint and worked as both producer and DJ under various guises (Watchmen, Future Ltd, Flytrapp, Beam Strategic).
Paul’s musical journey started in the early 90’s organising Club nights for local DJ’s in and around the Somerset (UK) area whilst running the local college Radio station and putting together Leftfield and Chill DJ sets at a variety of local bars. With one eye on producing music Paul learned to write tracks on a basic home studio set-up. Early tracks consisted of putting together breaks sample records routed through guitar FX pedal. With the purchase of an Amiga 500 and then later a Mac LC2, musical experiments continued, inspired by the sounds of New Order, 808 State, Orbital, Aphex Twin and the non stop beats of 80’s street sounds electro tapes. By the mid 90’s Paul was writing and producing progressive dance music with his brother and his DJ sets had evolved into sprawling early chill sets that took on a more progressive style as they developed. Support from local DJ’s and friends spurred the brothers into action sending out their first demo tape to a handful of labels under the Flytrapp guise in 1997. This initial demo provoked labels such as Deconstruction, Fluid, Steel Fish, Limbo and Skinny Malinky to respond. The brothers began recording for Limbo Records as Flytrapp and then later as Beam Strategic for Quad Communications in 2001. As Flytrapp they released 4 tracks, gaining credit and response from world-wide DJ’s including Sasha, Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold, Dave Seaman, Lee Softley (Blue Amazon) and Nick Warren amongst others. With each of these releases Flytrapp established themselves as an underground production duo at the cutting edge of sound. As Beam Strategic the brothers then released “Encoder/Totality” for Quad Communications, another slice of progressive tech house with beautiful atmospherics. Over the next three years the brothers began working on solo projects with Paul building his studio up and working on his own label “Composure” for future digital output as Watchmen and Future Ltd.
Composure Records UK is now an established digital label with over 70 releases, is supported by many of the world’s established Dj’s and has discovered and worked with many of the scene’s new and developing producers (SQL, Sotela, SoundProcess, Pako Frederik). As an artist, producer and DJ, Paul continues to develop his sound. Current projects include various guest mixes for internet radio shows, a series of his own mixes to be uploaded here and new musical releases on Composure.

DISTRIKT is a 501c3 Non-Profit music and arts organization, supporting an inclusive and diverse community of performers and artists through events, partnerships, community involvement, mentorship and relationship building.

DISTRIKT Sound is more than just a record label. We build relationships with up and coming producers to nurture their creative work, release their original music, book support tours and help artists build successful careers.
