Can't wait to get back to Las Vegas! To see J.Handel!

Live Sets

This year's free/renegade burn unfolded itself most unexpectedly. 
14 days before the burn, I received an invite from Amsterdam to support a friend's art project with my music. Everything which followed felt like a streak of kind gestures from the universe. 

This art project by Studio Drift brought two hundred drones to the playa to fly a series of magical art pieces in the black rock city sky.  

A tribute for all hearts who have burned in this place. ⁣⁣⁣A gift for the burning man culture and an homage to previous artists who united this beautiful community.  ⁣

To everyone who made this trip and experience possible, thank you. I have no words. The same goes for all those who came to listen. 

All the beautiful burners who showered me with love, support, food, and gifts all week, realize you are part of this recording. 

I am sending my endless love to the Studio Drift  & Robot Heart families for this opportunity to co-create. Without words of how you gift in such a selfless manner. ⁣⁣

This was me in flow on Saturday morning before the sun came out and Diplo took over. I loved this moment in time. I wish you all a beautiful journey, and I look forward to many dusty camping adventures with most of you.

"We stand in the desert as one pulsing heart
In tribute to a legend whose soul now departs. 

Yet his wisdom remains and whispers through the desert, 
as a remembrance to perceive every breath as a present. 
.
And now we dance to the wind as a manifesto of redemption 
As we navigate the trails, of this  human inception

We are wanderers of freedom with nothing to hide, 
tracing our own roads with the sun as our guide.

We are dream alchemists. we are seekers of the light 
Trusting our footsteps while our souls are in flight.

In a quest of self-reliance finding trails back to source,
Elevating each other, as our eye gaze joins in force. 

Unveiling the illusion to raise our voices higher 
as we witness eternity spiral into the fire. 

Let us choose surrender and keep walking in trust
To remember that, in essence, all we are is dust.

Unders - Robot Heart - Free Burn 2021

After 23 years on the Playa, the Free Burn last year had to be my favorite adventure in the dust so far. The original spirit of Burning Man had never been more palpable.
Driving solo into the desert for the first time, in the middle of the night, felt like traversing the moon: submersed in complete darkness with no other vehicles or lights in sight, using only a compass app to find my camp (that just happened to be conveniently situated a stoneʼs throw away from Robot Heart). When I arrived, I parked behind the RH bus and immediately started getting ready to dance to my brothers Sabo and Goldcap. Friends started showing up to my van-house and I had never felt such a sense of home in my largely nomadic life.
I played the first set of Thursday evening at 11pm, so I warmed up the night and moved quickly into some deep and experimental genre mixing to match the vibe of the gathering crowd. It was extra exciting to start my set while the bus was driving and a trail of illuminated bikes followed close behind. While I have played the bus before with my former group KMLN, this set felt like a new experience re-establishing myself as a solo artist after the better part of a decade. Thereʼs so much I can say about this, but in short itʼs been quite the journey and the feeling after my set was indescribable. I have so much appreciation for the Robot Heart family pulling off the almost impossible in getting the bus out to the desert last year; it truly brought my experience (and I know so many others) to the next level!
After more than two decades of returning to the Playa, my RH set last year felt like a full 360. I was one of the very first fire dancers in North America back in the 90ʼs and helped form the performance troupe APSARA, San Franciscoʼs first fire ensemble. Our group bonded with El Circo from Ashland a few years later, and we joined their crew to become the first proper ‘Soundcampʼ on the Esplanade. Every Friday night, we brought a massive art, music, and theater variety performance where thousands would gather around the Star Stage in the middle of our teardrop-windowed 300-foot dome to watch. Back then, we were all making our own costumes and BM looks, which inevitably birthed a style that still thrives today on the Playa and across festivals worldwide. Itʼs unbelievable how far BRC has come from the rawness of those early days. Iʼll never forget the year Robot Heart showed up. It was the first massive sound car to hit the Playa and we were all blown away by this new desert powerhouse. Many years later, I am beyond happy to be a part of their community.
Now, they are transporting the Playa magic out of the desert and sharing it to the world, allowing a taste to many who have never experienced it before. I just bore witness to this at Robot Heartʼs Fare Forward event in NYCʼs Central Park.
Some of the tales that I heard there honestly melted my heart - lives were changed by this bus! I am so proud of my RH family for all they have accomplished as well as the magic yet to come - it is my honor to be a part of it.
<3 Go Team!!! <3

Acid Pauli - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022

This years sound system at Celtic Chaos was insane. 
Earlier in the week, Sunday or Monday, Genevieve and I went out for a ride deep playa to check out some art being built. On our way back all we could hear was one system BUMPING in the distance, we followed the sound all the way to 10&C. 
Realizing it was Celtic, I instantly became that much more excited to rock that system for my last set of the week!

The dj booth at CC looks out at the vast depth of deep playa as it is located on the end-cap of camping on the 10:00 side. Friday sunset was extraordinarily magical with a light haze from suspended smoke particles in the air. Friday the city begins to glow with various burns so when twilight hour hits its not just the sky above you busting with color, it's all around you.I remember magenta & fuchsia surrounding everything. Combine with the white ground of the playa, the surroundings were other worldly.

Zaid Bawab shared the booth with me, bringing a flashdrive of unreleased tracks of his for me to play if I so desired. And you fuckin bet I did! playing a couple of his heaters worked perfectly for the set.
