FnF 2018 Dance Submissions

FnF submissions 2018

I had a rough week and I wanted some music that would make me feel better. I'm also about to leave for Burning Man in a few days and I've been collecting and organizing a bunch of tracks for various situations and moods.
One of my favorite times of day at BM is sunrise. It's such a wonderful transition from the darkness and intensity of sound and fire to the light. I've tried to capture that here with some deep, lush tracks, building up to the brightness and joy of a new day.


Vitruvian Sunrise

I was once again lucky to be able to share the decks with an incredible group of DJs and, for the first time, contribute to the magic of the Decadent Oasis - Monday Night Welcome Home party. I am so grateful for the opportunity to play and I'm even more grateful to all of the folks who put in many long hours of work in creating such a special atmosphere. 

Decadent Oasis 2016 - Monday

Decadent Oasis Welcome Home Party - Burning Man 2016

"Normally I know that high expectations kill the vibe, so I always try to walk my way open minded and don’t expect anything special from the future, but this time I couldn’t help it. When the Robot told me that she wanted me to play the sunrise set and that we will be connected with the Mayan Warrior soundsystem, I could feel it already in Berlin a full three weeks before… Then when I finally took the bus over to Robot Heart it was even better than in my craziest expectations. This gig was by far the most emotional gig I have ever played. All I can say is thank you, I am even more happy now to be born on this weird planet which can be really beautiful sometimes, when you give it  chance to be free. Thank you you for dancing with me and giving me so much Love. So here is my try to give something back.

(This set includes only sounds, samples, synths, basses, pianos, vocals and lyrics which are created, recorded and arranged by Jan Blomqvist, Felix Lehman & Ryan Mathiesen. Except the vocals at Dancing People are never wrong and one tiny vocal sample in the last track, you'll recognize it)"

Art piece: Awakening

www.facebook.com/AwakeningBurningMan2016

The human body is the most highly engineered object in existence, a machine of uncountable parts and unfathomable function. Its workings have served as inspiration for all of humanity's greatest inventions. This work is an homage to the two most amazing mechanisms in that machine: the human eye and hand. The head is a 16 foot camera obscura demonstrating the ray optics principals underlying the spherical lensed eye humans posses and the hands are actuated mimicking the tendons and bones of the body. Together they represent what separates life from the rest of the universe, the ability to observe the world around us and manifest change in that world. 

Jan Blomqvist (Live) - Robot Heart x Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2016

It´s Wednesday night and the spirit is high… The Mayan Warrior´s theme has blended with the Robot Heart´s heart beat, the link is done and the energy is rising… and it will keep on rising because Jennifer Cardini just took over the booth and is ready to go.
Enjoy

Mayan Warrior_Robot Heart Tie Up

Jennifer Cardini - Mayan Warrior_Robot Heart Tie Up - Wednesday Night - Burning Man - 2016

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert … Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

– Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Art piece: Mechan 9 

Mechan 9 is the newest creation from Tyler FuQua Creations.  It is a giant fallen metal robot that is half-buried in the ground.  Over thirty five feet in diameter and six feet tall at his heart chamber, Mechan 9 is shrouded in mystery!  Decode the strange text on his body to reveal the secrets of not only his past, but of the universe as well.  Mechan 9 was built by an amazing crew and with the help of a Burning Man art grant in 2016 where it made its debut.

Khromata - Live at Friends and Family XXI 2017

It's not easy to explain the tension, the charged feeling, at the culmination of building, exploring, dancing, laughing, crying, and changing together for a week. Gathered around our psychedelic snail, Lucy S. Cargo (@lucythesnail), we watch the flames engulf the effigy that has been at the center of our city, of our lives for a week. The moon is almost full. The stars still shine. The fire is the brightest. The man and the columns of his temple fall. Movement begins to shift gradually from the heart and the mind, in waves towards the body.

There was plenty of time for deep reflection, now there is this. Mixing requires moving with friends surrounding me. Lucy shakes with the bass and the thumping of all the humans dancing on her back. I look up to greet in gratitude, the fire-spinners, hula hoopers, artists, dancers, makers, seekers friends old and new, all sorts of citizens of Black Rock City. Thank you all for surrounding us with your love.

This is the second part of an unplanned burn night set that is inspired only by the wonderful beings moving about, and the reminiscences from another trip around the sun. We know the dark to know the light. Transmute. That is the kind of cycle that ends, as a new one begins.

New Years w/ FnF – 2018 (Earth Dog)

This week we are featuring our first of many live sets from the recent Breakfast of Champions event on New Years Day.  This mix is from Space Cowboy veteran Brad Robinson who played mid day inside the RIDE room.  Here are a few words from @djbradrobinson:

A lot of people will tell you that Breakfast of Champions is their favorite party of the year.  There is a reason why.  It's because there is so much love and positive energy packed into this party.  From the amazing guests that attend, to the artists that perform, to the event staff, and the Space Cowboy hosts that glue the whole thing together.  The cowboys have been throwing this party now for 18 years and while things come and go in San Francisco, I am proud to be a part of this group and iconic event.  As for the music, this is pure Brad Robinson through and through.  Enjoy it!
