Episode 140 - bjor (August 2023)

What a whirlwind at Burning Man 2023. I'm slowly combing through my USBs and gathering all the sets. I will be recording a couple that I didn't get to record out there from a sunrise moment on the Janky Barge art car and a funky sunrise set at Bubbles & Bass that didn't happen because of the epic storm. 

Long before the storm, I jammed with the crew at the camp Santo Cabron and brought in the sunset vibes atop the aEyeclops art piece. It was such a beautiful view of the entire city, and I immensely want to thank Love My Robot aka Carolina and Rey Solo aka my BIPOC Beats Collective co-lead Juan for having me and for letting me share space with ya. 

Enjoy the deep sunset vibes turned House love.

Monday Night 3 & Esplanade. Opening Party at Illumination Village. Burning Man 2023.
Let me attempt to paint the scene and tell you a little story.
This set was a wonderful journey from riding across the Playa solo in the heat of the six pm sun, right on time to jump on and get the music on to serenade the golden orb as it began its transition behind the mountains. Because this happens when the sun is still so high it feels like the twilight goes on for hours out there, everything takes on a hyper reality because of the light it really does seem otherworldly! 
The golden lining on the mountains glows like a snake lying across the peaks. 
At the same time the heat begins to go out of the air and it's much easier to be out the open and moving in the cooler air. 
Being on the Esplanade I had an amazing view from the decks out to the open Playa and the Man and as the evening began to get darker things at the illumination village really started to fire up, literally.
It's a fire art village so things were just exploding all the time in front of me and then the opening weeks fireworks began to light up around the city. Friends came, friends went, on foot, on bicycles, on art cars and there was dust there was dancing and fire everywhere!
It really felt like I was at Burning Man ;-) 
I played this set moment to moment with no plan and just feeling the vibes of what was in front of me. Safe to say I was having much fun, hope you feel that in this recording, my only one from the week.

What made this even more special for me was that for every year I've been at Burning man the Monday party after the event was always such a favourite moment for me. After the week all the art cars gather around Illumination Village to blow off all the excess Propane. There is no music just the sound of exploding fire art all night long.
I love it!
All the burners still left on playa after breaking down camps and all the other things come together and gift and hold each other in a magical moment as the last party of the event.
So it was super nice for me to gift you all with music and open the week there this time.
What a special Burn........ again ;-)

Thank you to Mark and Hillary and The Illumination Village for having me play and making this party such a blast.
I hope you all enjoy the recording now again

This was the closing set on Saturday night at Love Fest 2024!  This was the most fun I've ever had djing.  The vibration was high and people were getting down!  So much love on the dance floor.  This was a musical journey highlighting the growth in my personal life over the last year.  It is a fun combination of house, afro house, tech house, and funky house.

The lover that you are - Ed white

Somebody Special drifts in the space between longing and surrender. A voice reaching out from the depths, hoping that love can piece together a life that's been shattered. It’s the sound of waiting alone in the dark, haunted by the thought that salvation might come...

... and the fear that it won’t.
