John 12 : 36... Jesus himself tells us that the sons of Light are those who come to faith in him or Born again and indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 5 :16... in the same way let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in Heaven.

John 1 : 7... but if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have Fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son Cleanseth us from all sin.

oh yeah this riff is the best good sample

This is the live recording of my sunrise DJ set for Beyond the Veil - Halloween 2021... If you were there you know how deep our dance flow went... <3

Thanks to the Junxion crew + Lighting Society + NASP for having me join their lineup.

I created this mix from tunes that I played over and over while making images for my art show : In Search of Sight - Chapter 1 - "beautiful…" 

“Waves are crashing, sun is transforming and all of a sudden hundreds of black dots filled the sky. That was the moment my retina decided it was going to let loose. It was quite beautiful and poetic…" 

This mix is dedicated to that moment in time and the friends who helped me bring chapter 1 - "beautiful…" to life. much love , dill

In Search of Sight - Chapter 1 - "Beautiful…"

The bus is an instrument that can be made to sing. Choosing a track is like taking the right guitar down off the wall. The idea for this set was to give that instrument a top to bottom workout, allowing the crowd to experience its many octaves. 

This is also a sampling of my intuition for what’s to come for our genre. As we coast past the ten-year mark, a lengthy run for any music style, we naturally look to what’s next.

The sounds in this set are the edges that I hear beginning to touch each other. I’m highlighting the precursor, the beginning point as fresh sounds converge with those we are more familiar with to create something new. The recipe is far from complete, but I hear a “what’s next” in the mix. 

Those of you tuning in hoping for a follow-up to my 2019 set, not to worry; that will be shared at the 2022 burn. 

2019 was entirely my own music and was effectively an album release. It’s true what they say about sophomore albums, they are in many ways harder than the first, and they certainly take time. I’m putting the finishing touches on that now, and I look forward to dancing with you in a few short months. Until then.

A fantastic start to 2023. Dreamscape / Crania chapeau! Location, production, and all the fun anomalies made this night memorable and the recording fire. Taking over from DJ Harvey made me kick off the set light and tropical before I found a clear direction on where to take things. Shout out to @dramian for closing it so tastefully, and much love to everyone for the overwhelming feedback this weekend.

Grateful I get to play these beautiful pieces. Many unreleased, so high fives to all the studio nerds out there i admire. 

Be sure to share with friends ..

After shutting down the bot following an incredibly powerful and meaningful temple burn for our camp, many of you thought that was the end of our 2022 Burning Man. However, a few hours later, the bus appeared in deep playa with Nico Stojan at the helm, just in time for one last sunrise. Here's looking forward to many more surprises and unscheduled moments together in 2023.

"What an honor it was to return to the Robot Heart bus for the final sunrise set of last year’s Burn! 

Originally, the Robot Heart team wasn’t planning on playing music Monday morning, so I was super happy when they asked me to play the last sunrise on the playa.

When I arrived at camp early Monday, the RH crew was just waking up and the bus was still sleeping, but there was an excitement in the air - so often it is those unplanned experiences at Burning Man that create the most magic.

We drove out to deep playa in the dark and before long had gained a wonderful crowd, everyone coming together to dance away their final hours in the dust. People were exhausted, but also energized from their week in the desert and not ready to return to the default world.

It was a super chilled last sunrise set that I thoroughly enjoyed - an unexpected morning that turned out to be unforgettable!"

Remembering Demba

I made this mix a few years back just in case it was needed to bridge two music acts as the 2nd set up a live show. I never released it publicly for some reason. Today I found out that Demba Nabét (1972-2018) passed on June 1st. I met Demba in 2016 on a MaiTai adventure in Cabarete. He was a ball of energy, always animated and spitting out lyrics that would make people and himself crack a smile. One night when I was DJing, he did a small performance over one of his tracks. Also rocking some lit dance moves. Later that night we exchanged some music. I used two of his original tracks on this mix.  Thank you Demba, you have a fantastic soul, May it soar even higher!! See you again one day amigo.

1. Good Old Days (Original Mix) 
2. Yugen (Original Mix)

4. Demba -Yeah Mix V5 Mix

DILL BRIDGE MIX (Remembering Demba)

Since I am not playing any sets this Halloween season, as I’ve benched myself again till I can figure out how to make my ears happy and tinnitus calm. I've decided to release this 1.5 hour slice of a 6.5 hour set. Some of my favorite good vibe tunes at the time - old and new - well all old now ;) This mix is from 4 years ago. Halloween afterparty at 159. I was rocking a wig the whole night and morning... by the weeeeeeeeeeee hours, it looked legit from all the sweat and shenanigans. It was one of those flow state sets where tracks were just melting into each other and choosing each other… lots of love in the air and smiles all around.  Thus the name of the mix - AphroDILLiac, my nickname from the party. Hope you enjoy this little flashback..xo Dill

so it was a rainy afternoon in Singapore, I'm in bed listening to some of my favorite chill tracks - old, newish and in between.  at one point thunder and beats dominate the air..  I stopped the music to record the storm on my ipad and enjoy natures rhythms!  

Later I decided to go back and make a short mix ...   since I cannot use my usual set up because of my eye / recovery situation I decided to give traktor on my ipad a go..  so keep that in mind as u listen.. its my first iPad traktor mix, no editing.. one strait go at it.  it reminded me of making a mix back in the day. 

Hope you enjoy , I only had a few chilled out beats on my ipad .. they helped keep me company thru my bed recovery!  thank you all for the love and support... xo

p.s.  photo taken from my bed that afternoon.

The Journey…



(2022-Present) - I'm back in the game... baby... but with a newfound respect for my ears and not playing too many gigs. xo   

(9.2021) After a 4-year break from the bus…
I tested my ears w/ 4 sets at the Free Burn. 
for Geo! <3 <3 <3 

(9.2017-9.2021) 
Burning Man (2017) I played an epic sunrise set with Swamy on top of the bus. It was magic and the perfect ending to my old ways of playing. I'm still searching for a new way to express music. Stay tuned!

After 20 years of music selecting I am on the bench from playing gigs. I am giving my ears a bit of time to hopefully settle down. I developed screaming tinnitus two years ago (winter of 2016) and have played less than a handful of sets since. The recovery from a set is about two months and while I'm playing the best way to describe the feeling is "sound penetrates my ears like a probing alien." - Me - (2016)

 Bio from the Good old days (till 2016)

John Dill is an internationally renowned DJ who began his career with residencies at legendary house havens like Le Souk Sunday Sessions and Sullivan Room. He immediately emerged as one of the most beloved personas in NYC nightlife and has been on an upward trajectory ever since. He fine tuned his signature sound in Ibiza back in 2000 and quickly gained a cult like following in underground venues throughout North America, the Caribbean and Asia.  

Known for his magical ability to read the crowd and select the perfect track from his eclectic record collection, John Dill’s sound is unmistakable. Whether one of his deep, soulful gems dropped into a party or a mind-bending surprise at one of his acclaimed marathon sets at Burning Man, the sound of Dill on the decks makes any venue a destination.  

A long time resident at Robot Heart, Dill has shared the decks with luminaries like Lee Burridge, NU, Marques Wyatt, Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Tom Middleton and Oceanus Orientalis to name a few.  

In recent years, Dill has expanded beyond the underground house music scene to include more prominent venues with broader appeal. He’s a regular fixture on Richard Branson’s Necker Island thanks to Mai Tai, where he once had Sir Richard dancing on a couch. He's also a favorite on the festival circuit where he inspires love from audiences at Desert Hearts, Wonderfruit and the more cutting edge crowd at Further Future.
