One of the most special parties on the Playa is our early morning Purple Party! A meeting point for friends and family that makes for the perfect mix of high vibes and emotions for everyone. Something this special only happens when everything and everyone aligns perfectly. We are always so grateful to share this very special event with our global family.

Carl Cox - Purple Party - Playground - Burning Man 2022

Burning Man is known for its unpredictability, and this year's experience was no exception.

Dust turned into mud and transformed the smallest trips outside into adventurous hikes just to get to the washroom. 

After being basically locked in the RV for three days and facing the prospect of a long and arduous journey back to Berlin, the news that 'The Man‘ is still going to burn came as a small redemption to the muddy world we had around us.

As some DJs already left the playa I found myself in the most lucky position to be invited to play a set during the prestigious last night of the Festival on one of the best Art Cars. Robot Heart. 

I had the honor to play their car before and felt at home right away. This time shouldn’t be different. 

Thanks guys for greeting me with family feelings and giving me the opportunity to play on your amazing car once again. 

So spontaneous and unprepared this set was it turned out to be a really good one I think.  Can’t go wrong with letting loose:) 

And as always: Thanks everybody who was there for dancing and sharing the love we all needed that night!

Christopher Schwarzwalder - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2023

Freezing in NYC, dreaming of summer and watching endless footage from the carnival in Rio. 

Vibe: beach bar in Rio at sunset

I’ve tried letting the tracks speak for themselves. There is no need for excessive fx to distract from the sunset and the cocktails.

Enjoy!

Back by popular demand. This is the Morning Show! 3 hours of sun-kissed euphoria inducing cuts

The Morning Show at Space Miami January 2024

I was given the opportunity to curate the lineup for our Preservation Society art car, Lucy S Cargo, last year at Burning Man. I brought my friends @oba-flip and @nodestinationmusic onboard, and we soundtracked a wonderful sunrise and morning on Playa. Here is my set from that day on my favourite snail :)

Club 77 Live: Ciara Opening Set at Fred Again Eora Pop-up

Longtime friends and musical collaborators Max Essa and Eddie C just joined the RNT fold, with their new 4-tracker of melancholic and exquisitely produced chilled out disco.

Begun as a lockdown project, the 'We Live In The Hills' EP explores a vast palette of sonic soundscapes, from the shimmering guitars and acid lines of Melon Stepping, to the insistent rolling bass and whimsical synths of Save Me, the deep funk of the EP’s title track, and the late nite driving soundtrack stylings of Sixth Bridge. This EP tells a hopeful story of emerging from isolation and doubt, like a lovely musical sunrise after a long dark night.

To celebrate the release, Max Essa hopped on his decks in Tokyo to make his RNT Podcast debut! He shifts through many of the tones that inspired 'We Live In The Hills', as well as material from the EP itself, while harnessing records from friends & family around the globe for 90 minutes of bliss.

Razor-N-Tape Podcast - Episode 73 : Max Essa

I was thinking about all the long waits in line for Burning Man tickets over the years and decided to give some of you something to listen to while the walking person icon slowly makes its way across the screen holding all our hopes in its little tiny pixel hands. 

The wait time  is usually about as long as it took to get from one side of the playa to the other last year after it rained and the playa shrimp rose up to attempt to take over the world!! 

Burning Mud. Mudding man. Raining man. Remember the wild stories (all from the outside media or Diplo and Chris Rock) vs the kindness and generosity of strangers out on the playa. I hope, even if faced with adversity last year, maybe, just maybe, you also saw how wonderful people can be when called upon in a ‘crisis’. 

I was lucky enough to stay until Tuesday night and grateful to still get to play a sunrise on the Robot Heart albeit a few days later than planned. There was so much love in the air that (finally) beautiful morning. If you missed it or want to listen once more or are just bored and looking for something to distract you while waiting in line for this years tickets (I’ll be waiting too) then here’s burning man/mud/magic 2023.  Feel the love in the air and the tickle of playa shrimp on the soles of your feet.
