Where on earth is this remix from ? .. love it !

The “FreeBurn” was so needed! To celebrate life - we needed to reflect, dance, laugh, cry, and let go - in the place we call home. 

I was a bit nervous playing music this year - I had not DJ'd on the bus for four years after parking myself on “a bench” because of hearing issues. So when I found out I was going to play a small “opening of the bus” set I was stoked to get reacquainted before my scheduled Friday sunrise set. I started with my favorite chill track at the moment. The rest were selected because they gave me a dusty vibe, and I wanted to hear them on the bus system. Some were given to me by close friends - So it was a dusty family affair of sorts. The last track of that set has the vocal “Fade out again” - those lyrics gave me the idea to fade the set into my sunrise set. It was unplanned that these two sets would live together. Or even work together - I only planned my bus opening track and my sunrise moment. 

This leads me to my sunrise set. Where to begin? - how to honor Geo - celebrate the sun - tip my hat to the night - take the crowd on a bit of a journey - share sounds that speak to me - spread some love. I knew I wanted to have a special moment for Geo, but it did not hit me until I was on the plane headed out west. It was sunset and the sun was hitting my eyes through the plane window - and that was the moment it clicked. I was lucky to have WiFi on the pane and searched on all our group chats for a sound bite of Geo that would make sense with the track I had in mind. It took me a few hours, but I found a video with one. It was perfect - very subtle and very Geo. I did a quick edit in Ableton and thought WOW indeed. Big thank you to Brian Cid for taking the edit to the next level and to Jean for delivering the track to me before my set. 

We designed a Geo tattoo this year - I placed one on each forearm - facing opposite directions a few hours before I was to play. Energy in, energy out - That was my “mantra” for my set. I could feel so much love around me, in front of me, and above me in the heart - then the Drone show appeared and blew my mind. Thank you Studio Drift for the beautifully concepted and executed tribute.  

It was hard to judge the sun this year -  as there was so much smoke, but in the end, all was perfect. Feeling all the emotions, I just looked directly at the sun and had a little chat with Geo, expressed gratitude and shed some tears of my own. 

One of my favorite all time sunrise Djs was to play after me - it was surreal. Looking back now, I can see Lee Burridge showing up at sunset and surprising us all was part of Geo’s doing. Geo always called me Dilly Dill. So to have a DillLeeDill morning still has me smiling. Ironically this was the ten year mark where Lee and I first truly connected on the bus with a random morning 5 hour b2b set that started our friendship :) 

Lee had to leave early and there was only going to be an hour left till we were originally scheduled to close the morning. We had asked Holmar if he wanted to play the next day after Diplo (so he could have a long set) and I would just go back on after Lee. Somehow this one hour turned into almost three hours. And I was playing music from folders that were dusty themselves. This set is a whole other story!

Thank you for listening! And to my dusty family and friends from that sunrise/morning thank you I’m still in awe ✨☀️

To the dreamers and doers who put in the extra effort to make this year happen on and off the playa and to my Robot Heart family for the continued love and support - THANK YOU ❤️

I feel blessed to have been able to express myself musically on our magical bus after such a long break. Let’s see what’s next.

PSA - wear earplugs my friends! 

Much love, 
Dill, aka "Dusty Pickle"

I hope you enjoy this special moment, captured while I played for Summit at Sea on a cruise ship in the heart of international waters, en route to the Bahamas.
It was such an inspiring experience and such an honour to share my music to some of this world’s most impactful entrepreneurs, artists, and change makers. 
This set is light hearted, fun, housey, filled with disco and lots of yummy treats. 
Thank you to Brett, Jody and the whole Summit community for the love and support.

"The secret to happiness is freedom and the secret to freedom is courage." Thucydides

This is our GOSPËL: https://www.facebook.com/gospeltribe

GOSPËL blurs boundaries with an original concept, merging a combined restaurant, a social-cultural club, art space, and home for our creative community.

The multi-floor design is reflective of our BABËL ethos, allowing for content creation, self-actualization, spiritual growth, and transformative music events.

In addition to GOSPËL, we will launch B. Om on the 1st floor, an all-day Bohemian cafe & juice bar with a retail component that will transform into a Social lounge space in the evening, drawing inspiration from the Dadaism movement and the famous Cabaret Voltaire.

GOSPËL will integrate delicious, health forward mediterranean cuisine. GOSPËL will also showcase art exhibitions and a stage for live music performances & deejays in addition to holding classes including meditation & special daytime talks.

Nestled in the heart of SoHo, GOSPËL, is a cutting edge collective space, restaurant and lounge, centered around Friendship, Music & Arts.
GOSPËL isn't your typical place of worship.

Here we celebrate our Planet’s Creation through Music, Arts, great Food and everlasting LAUGHTER ! Our preachers are artists, musicians, philosophers and poets...

Following our passion for creativity, freedom of speech, and collaborations we value irreverence & culture over dogmatism.
Our mantra is ‘light up the darkness,’
inspired by the legendary, Bob Marley. When asked how he could perform two days after being shot, Bob Marley responded, ‘The people who were trying to make this place worse are
not taking the day off. Why should I?
Light up the darkness.’

We are ready to share ‘The Light’ and return to a time when music was the strongest GOSPËL, a revolutionary force carried by a message of love. We're spreading the revolution with GOSPËL and the belief that music and all creative expression is the most powerful spiritual connection to unify and inspire.

WE ARE A FAMILY OF FRIENDS AND WE PURSUE HAPPINESS THROUGH CELEBRATION.

Gospël of FREEDOM

Cleaned up version of my first set in the dust on Tuesday night.  Knowing the musical thunder that awaited in the coming days, my hope was to continue the festive spirit set by Professor Newton’s sunset salsa magic earlier in the evening. It was a pleasure to play these happy tunes among all the top class music played at our camp.  

Thank you Tierra Bomba for the most beautiful week of my life.  

Y esa es la vida de un Tierra Bombero 💥🌴
