Every human is fundamentally good. It’s the journey of life that shapes their expression of that goodness. Through music and dance, community and creativity, Zach Walker offers to each person he encounters the opportunity to uplift and raise their own vibration into higher states of love through meticulously composed sets and his own dedication in cultivating purpose, vision and transformation.

A youthful entry into the world of dance music, Zach began attending Burning Man at age 16 and soon after made himself a cornerstone of the long standing day party and production house, Pink Mammoth. It wasn’t long until he became an integral fabric in the culture of the dance community. You can find him before or after a gig checking out local vegan fare while kicking it in Chuck Taylors, an organic cotton tee and a big smile.

Zach has played notable clubs, festivals, and parties all over the world; Further Future, Envision Festival, Desert Hearts, SXM Festival, and Lighting In A Bottle to name a few.

I recently found this mix buried in my iTunes. I made it with All Day I Dream in mind around the time the events started in June 2011 (those being the now distant days the title speaks of!). As we drift through winter I thought you might enjoy some twinkles and longing melodies to brighten those grey skies and let a little imagined sunshine in. Close your eyes...



ALL DAY I DREAM OF DISTANT DAYS

Burning Man 2015, 

What a week. What a challenge. What a breeze. What a great time. What an awful time. At times, I wished it wouldn't end. At times, I wanted to go home...REAL home.

This was my 6th burn, and what I walked away with was largely a reinforcement of what I learned the year before: Burning Man is complicated. There are lots of ups and downs. It's unpredictable.

Is this conclusion I've reached the same conclusion all experienced burners eventually come to? Or did I happen to have 2 challenging years in a row? Will I ever have an Innocent Burn just like my first one where everything was amazing all the time? I would like to.

This is my set from the Kalliope art car, recorded Wednesday night at 2am. The Kalliope crew was nice enough to let me host my own night and invite my dear friends to play on their amazing bus, which was a new and exciting thing for me to do that I'm super grateful for. One thing that was consistently awesome in my experience was the crew's unwavering positivity, enthusiasm, and humility - it was inspiring to work with them.

The night was blisteringly cold: my fingers, ears, feet, and nipples nearly froze off, so you'll hear some rawness (sloppiness) in this recording...but it does have its moments too. I suppose the ups and downs you'll hear in the recording are a metaphor for the ups and downs I experienced at the burn. So from that perspective, this is the perfect way for me to communicate my personal experience to you. I hope you enjoy it, and hope to see you in 2016.

Thanks to Emma Trim for the photo.

I'm happy to finally release my first extended set with you, recorded at StereoBar in Montreal. StereoBar is a club that's quickly jumped onto my shortlist of favorite venues in the world. Beyond the nailing the club fundamentals (sound system, layout, lighting, staff), they feature the "All Night" series where one DJ plays as opener, headliner, and closer. I love this format since it gives me the opportunity to build the energy from scratch and take the night in any direction without constraints.

But more importantly, I get to play for one of the most enthusiastic, supportive crowds that I've ever encountered. The energy from this night was the strongest I've felt in quite some time, certainly my best gig of the last year. Almost everything I threw out there worked, which actually makes me think that I might not have worked hard enough. There are many more sonic landscapes I'd love to explore, so hopefully I can come back again soon and we can take another journey in that special room...

Recorded October 1, 2016
Special thanks to Kora for scrambling to record my set at the last minute!

Sonic love travels in many dimensions – through visceral pathways of the senses, as a uniting force on dance floors everywhere, in movements spanning entire eras to unify – whether souls, states or nations. And as sonic love relates to house music, Marques Wyatt is a seminal pioneer.

There are few words that can describe the high vibrations that this man and his music bring via the channel that we call Pink Mammoth in the desert (and beyond). Saturday night rings in a final sonic journey before we all adventure out to celebrate in a grand “Burning Man” style finale and he delivers the perfect set before we blast off. 

We are excited to have Marques joining us once again this Saturday at our 14 year anniversary party in Los Angeles. Tickets and Info: https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1067948

Every year I say it again and again... DISTRIKT. A camp of inspired burners who throw one hell of an inspired party. Every. Single. Year. This is a camp that is community created, maintained and enjoyed by such a dynamic and robust family of awesome humans over the years. It is such an honor to get to co-create the vibes and pilot the first Sunset of 2018. Monday, you did not disappoint! Such a fantastic collection of friends, smiling happy faces and a serious ass shaking danceanthon throw down. For this who journeyed with this set live, THANK YOU for being part of that superb vibe!!! And for the rest of the world, here goes the memorex ride. With so much gratitude for DISTRIKT, thank you for having me for my 11th year playing with the Deep End/Distrikt Camp family! From the Dancefloor at Distrikt, Isaiah Martin, Sunset Monday.

Barcelona is one of my favourite cities. The quality of the Catalan food, the warmth of its people, and walking amongst the small streets can charm even the coldest of hearts. This set was recorded at Nomads when I stopped on my way back from India, on June 8th. -G

Since first attending Burning Man in 2010, DISTRIKT has always been a go-to party during the day when you wanted to just let go and let your freak flag fly.  Always a good time, I have had many hot sweaty days here dancing in the sun and enjoying all the beauty it has to offer.  When I was asked to play this past year, I was elated that they wanted me back. Being able to play for such a quintessential sound camp is such an honor and humbling experience.  It pushes me as an artist and makes me work extra hard cause, you know you have to bring the vibes when you hit the decks.  For this year I wanted to do something special, and I chose to play more than 50% original unreleased material as well as new music from my label. It was such an amazing feeling seeing people get down to music that I produced, I’m forever grateful for the experience. I just want to give a huge thank you to Ben, the whole DISTRIKT crew, my friends, and all the people who were there who made this day unforgettable.  I’m happy to share this set with you all, this will be the only set I share from the Burn this year, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did playing.  Much love and see you in 2020 )’(
