What you are about to hear is not just any sunrise DJ set, but the farewell sunrise DJ set for a community I love and hold dear to my heart: NotaSexParty (aka NASP). 

It is also not a DJ set for just any random crowd, but rather a curation of humans that always inspire me to be my best self. Therefore, it is not a coincidence; in my humble opinion, that perhaps this is one of the best DJ sets I have woven in front of a live audience in my 20+ years of DJ craft. No detail was spared on every transition, every choice of track

On the crowd side of things it was no less epic. 

There were some people’s first time crowd surfing while The Beatle’s “Hey Jude” played as our second to last anthem as the sun FINALLY came out on our last day of camp. There was a giant circle of human chain of friends shoulder-dancing to LCD Soundsystem’s anthem “All my Friends” while we screamed/sang the lyrics from the top of our lungs. 

There was also an epic crowd sit-down right before all of this and before we slowed down our heart beats to a soft stop in unison… 

I only went there (to all of those places) because the crowd made me feel comfortable enough to do so.

It was the perfect storm of “epic-ness”. When I listened to it for the first time since performance, I realized that the musical story told here was a 2.75-hr long continuous anthem, one where I couldn’t believe we had another 40 minutes of high dance floor energy, and so I had to stop for a moment and ask for consent to keep going down “the (musical) rabbit hole”.

We danced, we laughed, we cried, we sweated, we loved, we jumped, we stomped, we screamed, we head-banged, we sang, we drummed (with Noah - @noahappel - love you brother) like a defiant crew of rebellious circus hippies in a magical co-created land… on a fucking Monday morning. 

No one could stop us. 

It was pure electronic dance music- sunrise Rock n’ Roll.
We were all in this together, we did this together.  

And without further ado, here is the recording of the farewell Sunrise NASP DJ set at the Fairy Forest SummerCamp 2021. 

Love & Beats.

illich Mujica - Live Sunrise DJ Set @ The NASP SummerCamp Fairy Forest 2021

Which date could be better to release a fundraiser set I’ve played for my Mexican Mayan Warrior fam than the week where we would normally stroll over the playa in Nevada. I can tell I miss it a lot and can’t wait to return next year properly. 
This set got recorded a month ago in NYC with the full art car at the Brooklyn Mirage. It was a hot and rainy summer night, with a pretty magical vibe and so spectacular with all the lasers & fire. We had a little blackout at the end caused by the heavy rain which soaked all of us and of course the equipment too but this made it even more special.

Dusty Dreams - Mixed By Isaiah Martin

Tuesday night has become a tradition amongst our blob.  It’s the largest physical gathering of a network of incredible humans who exist around the world.  

For 6 years running, it’s been one of the most meaningful things we do as musicians.

To everyone who shows up time and again to co-create with us on the dance floor, thank you.

SNOW RAVEN - SUOR was born in one of the most remote and cold inhabited places in the world - the Republic of Sakha - Yakutia (arctic Siberia). She was three years old when she started to learn the language of birds and animals. Her voice takes its breath from traditional Sakha culture and is truly an instrument. She is the OG of “arctic beatbox” - the reindeer breath and the founder of OLOX, the NEOshamanic Portal to a Decentralized Humanity, Earth and Consciousness.

"I am not a friend of over indulging when it comes to my own sets. 
While planning my Burn this year I just tried to let go of everything. Eventually this turned out to be some very moving days of my life. 
One special moment this year was at the Robot Heart bus on Sunday morning.  
Thank you to all who made this possible, who supported me on my ways and to all who shared my passion for music with me."

The Anjunadeep Edition 185 with Mira

Monday. We board the lonely Submarine for the first time for a trip camp to playa. The energy is high, the tanks are full. This is my set.

This is an ode to my friend Scott, who dreamt big and dedicated a year and a lot of effort to make a moving home for the people he loves. We all gathered around or on top of his dream to celebrate friendship. For those of us that were lucky to play on top of it, seeing our family dance to our music is a memory we’ll never forget.

The first twenty minutes are part of the welcoming ceremony and boarding of the sub.

Playing with my @zeroparty family is always special, but there seemed to be some magic in the air on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Perfect weather, lots of shining smiling faces and the incredible New York City skyline. I hope you enjoy this recording as much as I did making it :)

Lovecraft @ ZERO - Us and The Dust

I’m back from the Burn and the very first thing I want to share with the default world is the biggest DJ performance I’ve ever played in my life: The sunrise set at the 747 art car at Burning Man! 

This was challenging in many ways: I had had very little sleep as we were working HARD to build our 747 camp and art car, while trying to finish the 747 project in time for the Burn. 

There were also some challenges during the set, for instance: a pendant getting entangled with my headphones post head-banging, and having to pull a radical self-reliance move with my Swiss army knife to cut the pendant string off before the next mix was due.

It was epic, it was beautiful, it was emotional, it was incredible to see so many of my friends in there, it was full of chances I decided to take as a DJ in terms of track selection (trying a bit of a cosmic/rocktronica approach) and... 

On my days before the Burn I was re-reading/re-visiting the book “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran. At the very last minute I decided to bring it to the Burn to read while on the playa. It was gifted to me by one of my best DJ friends who passed away 10 years ago around the time of the Burn. In the last Farewell chapter of the book, there is a passage about sunrises and reconnecting with others in future places. When I had to reach into my DJ bag mid-performance to look for the Swiss army knife I realized the book was there with me on stage, and also that the sound engineers had provided a microphone… 

So I started fantasizing about taking advantage of the perfect breakdown/drop from any of the tracks I was about to play, in order to read a part of the book and dedicate it to Navid. I took the chance to read this poem to him in the middle of the set on playa when the breakdown to Einmusik’s “Serenade” kicked in... 

For those of you who can’t (or couldn’t) understand what was read during the moment, this is what the passage of the book says. There was a crackle in the mic and I accidentally said the word "ring" instead of "sing":

“It was but yesterday we met in a dream.
You have sung to me in my aloneness,
and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky…

The noontide is upon us and our half 
waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part.

If in the twilight of memory we should
meet once more, we shall speak again together
and you shall (sing) to me a deeper song.

And if our hands should meet in another dream
we shall build another tower in the sky.”

Lastly, as always there was one last track that I really, wanted to play for all but in the overwhelming ending to it all I forgot about it, so I added it to the recording at the very end at home. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did and thank you for being inside the plane at the very end, I wasn’t aware of how many of you were still there, and it was then that I became overcome with tears of joy. (I did cry in public at the end of the DJ set, and I am ok with that, so as they say… “fuck your Burn!” hehe)  

And HUGE thank you to Gunita, Nikki and Ken of Big Imagination for providing me with this monumental stage to craft something as meaningful as our plane, you guys are family to me, this one was for you as well, love to you all!

Until the next sunrise at the Burn!
❤️
