DISTRIKT at Burning Man 2023

“When the sun sets over the playa, the freaks come out to play. For this occasion, as is tradition, DISTRIKT and Robot Heart joined forces and tied up their sound systems for one of my favorite parties I have yet witnessed at Burning Man. Something special happened that day. Playa magic.”

As a DISTRIKT resident and member of their playa family since the Deep End days, I always look forward to the energy and community on the DISTRIKT dance floor. Every year is unique and brings me the inspiration and challenge to bring a driving narrative of playa vibes that are fresh and reflect what a DISTRIKT set means to me. I’m loving the new location at the tip of the world and hope this recording takes you all back to that beautiful Monday night!

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!

I felt the biggest honor to play Monday sunset at DISTRIKT for Burning Man 2023; their parties were a highlight of my first (2022) burn. The day was scorching, and I was still mentally adjusting to the playa having just traveled from Thailand two days prior. I went into the set without a plan (as always) but with an intention - balancing fun and emotion. I tested quite a bit of unreleased tracks and edits, as there is no better place to push your boundaries than the playa. As the sun began to set, the temperature cooled, and the energy of the crowd went through the roof. I’ll never forget this stunning evening.

This was the first ever sunrise set at DISTRIKT and our first visit to DISTRIKT.
Together with everybody who was present, we had a musical flight that took off in pitch black darkness and soared into the rising orange sun. It was a unique experience and certainly one we’ll never forget. Thank you for dancing and sharing this moment together!

What an awesome vibe heading back to Burning Man and playing DISTRIKT in their new home; that I think, is much better for everyone to enjoy. I'm really looking forward to getting back this year and playing more funky, Afro beats, and classic house for you all. But until then, here’s my set from last year…Enjoy it and TURN IT UP! 😎❌🔥

Being invited to play DISTRIKT at Burning Man on Tuesday night was incredibly exciting for me, as I've been a huge fan for years! Special thanks to the DISTRIKT members for their warm welcome. I hope the live recording will transport you back to this unforgettable moment. With love,  ~Vanjee

It has been a real honor to play at Camp DISTRIKT for the very first time in a year of complete novelty for several reasons: a new location right on the edge of the playa with almost nothing around it, giving it a truly special feeling. Also, it was a sunset to nighttime slot that was debuted with my set and those of my colleagues... and on a day when Carl Cox and Sharam had performed before me. A real challenge. That's DISTRIKT—once the first track plays, the crowd's energy takes over and the session flows effortlessly. An absolute delight. Looking forward to returning.

The magic is when you believe in playa and when the playa provides! Opening for Kruder & Dorfmeister was magical! They've been my favorite artist by far in the music scene. Playing on DISTRIKT stage again was the dream flowing in the dust we believe. 

Give your mind, body and soul to the playa dust and playa will provide from all directions into your life... ~Cirque Noir

Going back to the playa for my eighth burn and getting the chance to play a set with DISTRIKT for the first time was truly a dream come true. DISTRIKT has been a beloved camp where I've made countless memories over the years. The setup and sound system were totally mind-blowing, taking the crowd's energy to a whole new level. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. ~RYBO

Commanding the rave at DISTRIKT has been a decade long dream of ours that finally came true this year. DISTRIKT was on absolute fire going into the night - a new chapter in the DISTRIKT saga. It was a real honor for us to close out Tuesday after the legendary Robot Heart tie-up. We came in ready to peak surrounded by all our Miki Beach family. This debut set is fast paced and charged with energy to launch the rave into Deep Playa oblivion. It was an exhilarating experience to bring our Miami flavor to DISTRIKT for its inaugural night program, a Burning Man moment we will always cherish. 

Thank you to all who danced with us that night - for those who missed it, this mix is a portal to DISTRIKT 10&K Tuesday, Aug 29, 2023 @ 2am.

The Man will Burn soon.

Wow! This was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. I had been working with very little rest, building our mutant vehicle, Discow, for over 4 days straight.

About 20 minutes before my set, I ran over to the DISTRIKT stage, which was literally 1 minute away — the shift in energy was the biggest energy shift I’ve experienced in my life. A transition from sweaty, tired, & cranky dear friends to day-time playa energy at full force. I went from tired to overwhelmed, almost as if I had shot caffeine into my veins. 

This set is a representation of the jolt I felt in that moment — catalyzed by the vibrant, dusty dance floor and its kindred spirits. What an incredible experience! Thank you DISTRIKT. ❤️ ~Late Night Shri

DISTRIKT...

A place that needs no introduction in the Burning Man community... yet an enigma to the rest of the world! The cages... the dust storms... the once in a life time sets... and my god those SUNSETS! In 2004 The Deep End change my perception of what a dance floor should/could be... it changed the way I expected a dance floor to make me feel! It introduced me to the concept of Frisson... or as I like to call it... the “dance floor orgasm”. It had been nearly 20 years of wanting to play that incredible camp and it finally happened in 2023 alongside my dear friend Jetzen.

This set is special to me, DISTRIKT has been family to me on and off playa. Being a part of the community showed me what the real reward of contributing to BM was and as an artist, playing on their stage both on playa and at fundraisers always has been incredibly satisfying. The team is dedicated and the dance floor is locked in and powered up. 
All love. ~Dastan

Playing DISTRIKT at Burning Man is always an incredible pleasure, but this year was particularly special with the camp at the 10 o’clock corner. The view of the open playa, art cars gliding past, and mini dust tornadoes swirling around created a unparalleled backdrop to open that Wednesday for the Distrikt x Robot Heart link up — elegantly highlighting our vibrant Burning Man community. Big thanks to Distrikt and everyone who was there with us — can’t wait for the next one! )’(

A prime memory from our first Burn in 2019 is dancing at DISTRIKT for a Robot Heart tie-up with a big group of friends, full of joy and awe and acting like goofballs. That year we had camped at 10&K. Flash forward four years later, we found ourselves opening up DISTRIKT's 2023 season in their new home at 10&K. So much has changed in four years, both globally and personally as we've moved into the creation part of our electronic music journey instead of just being appreciators.

One thing that hasn't changed a bit is the joy and awe we feel being present in the dust with thousands of our closest friends and bringing those memories home with us each year as fuel. Thank you to DISTRIKT for giving us the opportunity to experience such a beautiful full-circle moment. These tunes are all about setting the groove as you begin a new journey.

Much love,

Burning Man: where each year brings a whirlwind of adventures, surprises, and moments that stick with you long after the dust settles. And in the midst of all that chaos, there's DISTRIKT; an oasis of fun and entertainment that looks straight from a Mad Max movie gone wild, takes the Burning Man experience to a whole new level. 

My inaugural gig at DISTRIKT two years back was a textbook case of Burning Man madness. Picture this: a monstrous sandstorm sweeping across the playa, me wandering around lost on my bike, fashionably late to my own set. But did DISTRIKT panic? Nah. They greeted me with a fresh smoothie to kickstart my DJing journey amidst the swirling dust. Classic!

Fast forward to my most recent escapade at DISTRIKT, and Mother Nature decided to throw a curveball — cue the floodwaters!! Yet, the flood came fashionably late, conveniently after my set. But that night? Dehydration was the name of the game. AND my Traktor, bless its digital soul, decided it wasn't in the mood to play nice with the mixer. And there I was, parched AF like a desert plant, with everyone and their playa cousins offering me water tequila while I attempted to update the mixer driver in a haze of confusion, and of course, the DISTRIKT gang was there on top of the whole process to get me up and running - literally and musically. 

In true playa fashion the show must go on. Cue the backup USBs swooping in to save the day. And just when I thought it couldn't get any wilder, in strolls Diplo himself, ready to unveil our collaborative masterpiece ‘Anthem' to the world (although at the time we did’t have name for it yet). But wait, there's more — did you know those dusty X1 Traktor controllers could go wireless? Neither did I, until Diplo schooled me, adding cowbells to our track live like a mad musical scientist.

So without further ado, here's a glimpse into that glorious night before the floods—a sonic journey through the madness and magic of DISTRIKT at Burning Man. Enjoy the ride.  ~ Sharam
