Had an absolute blast attempting to melt the dance floor at Revenge of the 6th in Malcolm Fillennium on the weekend. 
Great party, great vibes and great people.

Big thanks to Vishnu for having us in. Mint.

Put together some new and old classic dnb tracks for a listen. Chuck it on, do one gym, at least two yoga's and then call me in the morning.

Burning Man 2025: Burko Late Night into Sunrise Set @ Whomp Wagon

🔥 This is a live recording from my set on the Smile High Art Car during the Man Burn at Burning Man 2025. Smile High, built by my friend Eric, is a spaceship-inspired art car — and the energy on board that night was unforgettable.

I only captured the final two hours of this ~3-hour journey, but it perfectly reflects the ride we all took together. The set flowed completely unplanned, moving through progressive house → indie dance → melodic techno → back into progressive house and progressive breaks.

This one started right around sunset — fitting, since my DJ name, Zakat, means “sunset” in Russian 🌅.

This Burn, I didn’t really have scheduled sets outside of my Burnpops camp, but I was manifesting the chance to share my sound somewhere new on playa. That’s when I spotted Eric on Smile High during Burn Night, and he asked if I wanted to jump on the decks. I enthusiastically said yes — and the rest became one of my most memorable sets yet.

It felt like a full-circle moment: years ago, Eric was the first person to let me “DJ” (off my phone!) at the Renegade Burn on the fabled Dust Bus. That little taste of DJing lit the spark that put me on this journey — and now, playing Burn Night on Smile High, it all came back around in the best way possible.

My set from the Luvasaurus on burn night.

Easy Tyger - Burning Man 2025 (DNB Set)

I haven't released a mix in almost a year so I figured it was time. These tracks have been a treat to find and play for people over that period, especially the few of them that I got to play in the rain at Burning Man this year on the Helibus (yes I went back to Burning Man....yes I liked it...). I happily played zero scheduled gigs this year but I had an absolute blast playing here and there on the Helibus when the opportunity presented itself between raindrops. 

If you don't know about the Helibus and their crew yet I hope you find them one day soon they are a magical group of individuals, brimming with unadulterated joy, positive energy and unfettered possibility.  They reminded me what Burning Man was about for me way back when I fell in love with it 25 years ago. 

This mix represents an imaginary set that I would have played on the Helibus for friends new and old if I had been able to stay for the nice weather in the second half of the week - and if I had a 1.5 hour long slot in the middle of the night to bang it out while parked by a dope piece of art!

Make sure you follow @nate-mott (a.k.a. BANG3RZ) and Ron Levy @idiot-savant (a.k.a DJ Goetz Achwurd) who were my partners in crime on the playa this year. Ron was kind enough to master this mix for me in his Reno studio.
