Hard to describe this evening. A life highlight for me. Playing my favorite Art Car during Man Burn, surrounded by so many of my favorite people. Including my full Ikigai camp family, and my younger sister, who was living her first Burn. 
A night I will remember forever. 

A bit on the music selection: this burn felt unique. Lots of ups & downs for so many, emotions running raw across the playa. So I decided on a set that was more emotional and intentional. Less of a party set, more of a release. 

Closing out with a big thank you to the entire Maxa crew who work tirelessly to get this car going for all of us to enjoy. And a big thank you for trusting me with this moment. 

I hope everyone enjoys listening to this set just as much as I enjoyed playing it.

Salimbeni - Maxa - Burning Man 2025

Thursday early a.m. carried the full spectrum of the playa: the waiting and then the lift of it all finally coming together. It was dark and still, fragile and fleeting, but in that moment everything was in motion. Riche at the helm. 

“Arriving at this moment on the Playa, playing for Robot Heart was the definition of delayed gratification after so much blood, sweat, and tears.

We arrived in 70 mph winds on Saturday, and our plane made the fastest landing the control tower had ever seen. Then we had to postpone the bus twice, and it truly seemed like it wasn’t going to happen this year. But somehow, at the very last moment, they ran into my camp, found me in the dinner line, and asked if I could play that first clear night. It all came together in that imperfect yet perfect playa way, and now it’s a memory I’ll never forget.

After days of storms and chaos, we were all ready to finally let go and dance. We rocked the bus, and I couldn’t stop smiling, surrounded by the joy of it all.

To my Robot Heart family, thank you for welcoming me into yours and trusting me with this moment. The bus is history, the future, and a hallowed place for music.

I couldn’t have done it without my friends, my community, and everyone who helped make it happen. I love you all to the moon and back. Thank you. We did it.

And to everyone watching now, I hope you feel the energy and love we all felt that night from the 🤖❤️.”

Did you know? @rvh_sounds runs a lil' bi-monthly techno smorgasbord at the downbeat in Victoria, BC, and he invited @dodd to come have a go at it for this edition. It was also Dodd's birthday, so like, that's pretty special, eh?  

It's an opening set, with that proggy sound you've come to expect from the Dodd-man, with a very techno-y infusion. He fucked up a couple of times, but you probably won't even notice. That's showbiz, baby!

Dodd - Back Underground

Created for the October 25th edition of Back Underground, a semi-regular Techno-inspired evening held at The Downbeat in Victoria, BC

R|V^H Live @Back Underground

I wanted the opening to feel smooth and welcoming — like the beginning of a story that gently invites you in. Something warm, calm, and easy to fall into, wrapping around you like a quiet embrace. This first moment sets the tone, guiding you slowly into the mood and shaping the space for everything that follows.

Legendary figures in the South American underground dance scene, Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret debut together on Clubsonica Records with a twin-tracker of outstanding quality. A single remix from a production duo who have shaped the progressive scene sees D-Nox & Becker complete the package.

Requiring little in the way of introduction, Kamilo Sanclemente has been at the vanguard of South American dance music for over a decade. Responsible for some 1200 production credits stretching back to 2013, the Colombian has seen his work wedded to a suite of high-profile labels that include Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital, Paul Hazendonk’s Manual and Paul Thomas’ UV. Colombian imprint, Clubsonica, has also played no small part in that success with a clutch of remixes and original material, including several with fellow countryman and label head honcho, Juan Pablo Torrez. Andre Moret has also been a staple of the South American progressive fraternity with a glorious selection of releases on Kasey Taylor’s Vapour Recordings, D-Nox’s Sprout and the legendary, Transensations Records. Born in Campinas, the Brazilian’s accomplished piano-playing has stood him in good stead during a celebrated and much-lauded career. As a production pairing, the duo’s work for Balkan Connection, The Purr and Plattenbank, have witnessed a stellar music collection as Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret join together for their Clubsonica debut.

Opener, “Spectre”, is a chunky rhythmic affair with familiar percussive shakers and copious amounts of rich effects littering the stereo spectrum. A thumping bassline progression and counterpoint melodic layers provide intrigue aplenty and arpeggiated urgency. An intelligent breakdown that subtly slows the arpeggiation before building to a rising and dramatic crescendo, the track then drops back into familiar groove-laden territory with delicate leads adding depth, atmosphere and emotion.

Partner track, “Paradox”, brings in Yudi Watanabe, a rising force within Brazil’s progressive and melodic underground. Based in Campinas, Yudi has steadily built a reputation for his emotionally rich sound design and deep, flowing grooves, showcased across a growing catalogue on labels such as Sprout, Plaisirs Sonores, NightColours, and Clubsonica, to name a few, consistently charting for its warm harmonics and evocative atmospheres. “Paradox” hits the ground running with its deliciously emotive running bassline. A syncopated arpeggio captures attention with its melodic vibrancy while ethereal vocal layers add a hands-in-the-air moment. Rising to its zenith, the second half oozes quality with a new complementary lead line that adds real purpose and dancefloor vibrancy.

D-Nox & Beckers have been key figures in the Progressive House and Melodic Techno genres for over 20 years. Gracing the world’s finest clubs and festivals in more than 70 countries and 5 continents, the pair’s production work has shone a bright light on their joint credentials, seeing some 400 credits on such elite imprints as Christian Smith’s Tronic, Dave Seaman’s Selador and John Digweed’s Bedrock Records. Throw in a century of credits on D-Nox’s own #1 ranked Progressive House label and it is not hard to see the appeal generated by the D-Nox & Beckers marque. Another debutant pairing on Clubsonica, their remix of “Spectre” is driven by chest-thumping kick and meticulously crafted bassline groove. Redolent in trademark retro synth sounds, a delightful lead line cleverly mirrors the bass progression while counterpoint phrases add dynamism and club-friendly energy. Cleverly taking the themes inherent in the original, D-Nox & Beckers’ skill is take that sound and extend it into new and intriguing directions, serving to showcase their effervescent and polished sound in a magnificent EP.

The 17-year tradition continues. As always, one of my favorite things of the year is sharing this mix with you. This one is my longest so far— 4 hours of tracks from different decades that defined the year for me. As much as I think there’s so much good music being made these days, I can’t help myself from going back in time and finding old gems I definitely missed that stand the test of time and still sound fresh to this day. I hope you enjoy it

The existence of Dodd has long been questioned by those who've not been on his dancefloor -- but those who've been there are fast and thorough believers. From his humble beginnings as a dancefloor observer, Dodd carefully catalogued the sounds and reactions of the people in order to pinpoint the perfect palette of progressive sounds: blending trancey, glitchy, dubby and techy tidbits into memorable dancefloor journeys that transcend sonic expectations. With these dancefloor commandments Dodd has been rocking crowds consistently in Victoria and beyond since 2008. Whether you're a believer or not, with the speakers as his chorus, you will be moved by the voice of Dodd...
