One my favorite places in the world is behind the decks aboard the Phoenix bus at Burning Man on Burn Night. The crowds on  are alway super full of energy and ready to burst. Its a great time to throw down some bangers. Every so often the bus ventures to a new beat,  we find a new place to settle in and build a floor. As a DJ you get the chance to try different flavors and vibes, for me it was banging tech house to melodic deep house. Its a great opportunity to move fluidly through collection without barriers and expectations. 

Wow. BM 2014. This  years burn was an epic one. We united two big crews from the west coast and the east coast into a  global Heart Phoenix. Some spectacular parties where had thanks to some fabulous sparkle ponies, a few unicorns, an amazing set of DJs, eager party people,  bartenders, yogis and coogis. The family doubled in size and what a pleasure it was to be a part of helping it happen and realizing the collective vision. 

Many many thanks: to the crew leads who made the camp projects happen,  thanks to everyone who camped with us, thanks to those who helped with all the chores, thanks for all the hugs, smiles, compliments squeezes, kisses, spanks and high fives!  Thanks for mooping, fluffing, dancing, eating, drinking. Thanks for bringing the merriment. I cant wait to do it again! 

Josh Vincent -  Live on the Wings of Heart Phoenix - Burning Man 2014 (Tech House)

I have DJing, creating, producing and promoting since 1997. I came to the USA in 2001 and have lived in Seattle, San Francisco and NY, and have been lucky enough to play music in awesome places in those cities and around the country. I spent a long time playing Drum and Bass, helping the Onset crew in Seattle establish the one of DnBs longest running nights in the USA. I transitioned over to house and have  been lucky to play in some amazing venues and environments. I was an organizer of the Burning Man art car and sound system, Heart Phoenix and now spend time working with my friends on Sundowners camp and Rexan the Sundowner Safari car bringing psychedelic safari experiences to Burning Man every year.

DJ witch-in-training. Sound creatrix. Rising.

****Bio****
Mariel Pauline is a sunshine chaser. Riding into the city on teardrops birthed in daytime darkness, she moves in prayer.

A community leader, event producer and DJ, she is guiding your heartbeat home while holding the space between remembrance and return. 

She is here to help you dance yourself free.

Mariel Pauline holds space for the icky, and shows you how beautiful that is too. She amplifies the sorrow alongside the salvation and pours love on the broken places until they are overflowing with grace.

Bring her the masters of self-destruction, the lost boys, the strong girls afraid to soften. She wants the mirrors afraid to look inward, the closeted joy-hunters right up front. For the dark dance floor deviants with one hand on their heart, the other reaching towards God - embrace the loud- use it. For the gods playing dress-up in human form, your secret is safe. Her space is yours to use. Give it to her, you don’t need it anymore.

Mariel Pauline will help you love again.
