It has been quite some time since the last time we gathered for a night of MBTS. I wanted to take some time after the pandemic to be quiet and see how the dance music scene would evolve, and what sounds would come out of the standstill that was Covid. Now that I have a good sense of where I want to be sonically, and what kind of energy I want to spread onto dance floors, I am ready to restart MBTS in 2023. Stay tuned for more info, and enjoy this preview of what's to come.

Much love,

There's something about spinning music in structure you built 10 years ago with your best friends doing projections behind you on that structure.  On top of that, It's the first time I've ever done a downtempo set live. And to be followed by a good friend and a great DJ, Suarez. It was a great night.

🌅 Kumharas, Ibiza — August 13

Three hours of music, magic, and connection as the sun set, painting the sky a thousand colors.

Each track, each mix, was a stronger heartbeat, feeling the connection with the people, the smiles, the glances to the rhythm of the sunset. 🌅🎶

Thank you to everyone who shared this magical moment with me. Kumharas has that unique energy that envelops you.

BURNING MAN 2025 - ONE LOVE DJ MIX

"This is my Saturday sunset set from the Pink Mammoth camp at this year’s Burn. A moment I look forward to all year. There’s something special about watching the sky melt into firelight as the dance floor comes alive. Pink Mammoth is more than a camp, it’s home, it’s family, it’s a pulse I’ve been in rhythm with for years. The energy at sunset is magnetic, always a challenge for me to stop playing. Yet, as the final tracks fade, we all feel the call. The pull toward the burn of the Man. l begin already looking forward to next year together.
I hope this mix carries a bit of that magic for you, wherever you are." - Marques Wyatt

We are excited to have Marques joining us at our sunset party in Los Angeles October 17th.

Marques Wyatt - Pink Mammoth - Burning Man 2025

As the first release from Burning Man 2025, we’re honored to share a set that carries a different kind of Playa energy - one made for a night like Burn Night. Bilal blessed us with a set rich in soul and grit, channeling the roots of house from Detroit, Chicago, and New York - the very foundation that shaped the dance floor. 🕺🏽✨

In Bilal’s own words:

this was burn #11 for me. and you'd think you know what to expect by now. but NOPE! this place really knows how to throw a curveball at all of us... but seeing people bounce back and knock that curveball out of the park is more amazing to see. 

i really didnt know what to expect on Man Burn Night, surrounded by all the different art cars and crowds. its basically like standing in the TV section at Best Buy with every channel blaring at once. 

anyway, this mix is the result of the environment at the time. i had fun sharing this music and i hope you do too. 

BIG LOVE & GRATITUDE TO THE ENTIRE ROBOT HEART CREW FOR ALL THE MAGIC YOU POUR INTO THIS, YEAR AFTER YEAR!

Easy Tiger hunts sound with influences from blues, jazz, rock, and soul, then simmers them into a danceable delight of global grooves. Born in New Orleans and raised outside Austin, Nic grew up on a musical gumbo rich in rhythm, grit, and groove. As a kid, he sat behind soundboards at live venues with his uncle, sparking a passion that quickly turned into a full-blown obsession.

Everything changed in ’96 when he caught his first house set. From there, it was crate-digging, Technics-turning, and chasing underground grooves wherever they led. Texas was the launchpad, Detroit, Chicago, and London shaped the sound, and California brought the polish—now he’s kicking up dust in the Joshua Tree high desert, still blending flavors from every city he’s touched.

With over 25 years behind the decks, Easy Tiger delivers deep cuts and feel-good vibes, weaving together eclectic rhythms. It’s a sonic safari with one mission: keep the dance floor purring.
