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.
