This was recorded June 2025 before the Man was burned at the Alberta Regional event called Freezer Burn.
Big shoutout to the Disco Inferno Collective for letting me play some of my favourite music as the sun was setting and we prepared for the Man to burn.
Hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did playing it.

Van Damage - Burn Night Sundown Set 2025 w/Blaze

Dolla was pure energy: deep, wise, magnetic, unforgettable. Every rise, every drop, every note carried more than music; it carried his light, his spirit, his fire. His sets weren’t just heard: they were felt, alive with meaning, reminding us that sound can heal, connect, and move us beyond words.

This was his Friendzy Fest set: his last one. More than a mix, it’s a piece of him, a timeless reminder of the love and wisdom he left with us. Play it loud. Dance for him. Feel his spirit. Carry him forward in every beat. His music lives on, and so does he. Legends never fade- they echo forever.

Rumpus sat down with Chandon Autumn after his set at Astral Harvest to talk about how he met Small Town DJ's while surfing, his inspirations and gives advice on how to get into performing at summertime music festivals.

Rumpus, by definition, does in fact bring the noise – and the bodies – to dance floors and music festivals around the globe. Drumming since the age of 12 and growing up playing in punk rock bands, Rumpus has since evolved into a full-time touring DJ/Drummer and producer of high vibe, funky house music.

Rumpus’ live drumming blended with a finely tuned DJ palette, serves up an irresistible feast for attuned music lovers and funky festival freaks alike. His visually captivating high-energy live show fuses his signature house sound with elements of other genres such as hip hop and experimental future bass. With releases on Westwood Recordings & Australia’s ‘Sweat it Out’ Club Sweat label, the Rumpus sound has been described as “what you get if funk house and bass house had a kid”. 2019 is on course to be another major year with lots of new music, a packed tour schedule, and a few other surprises up his sleeve.
