Burning Man 2019

The Booty Hunter dome is always a blast; intimate vibes, great friends, lots of dancing, and strong-ass drinks from the booty bar. This year exceeded expectations and was the most fun with a full on disco house throw down. 

Many thanks to my misfits and booty hunter crew alike for representing this year. I had a blast on decks and it looked like everyone did on the dancefloor as well. This one gets a little harder/booty shaking towards the end, featuring some tracks i haven’t played before.

Enjoy!

My dancing heroes - live at Groove Oasis

This mix is one of the best I have recorded, in terms of how it felt when it landed at the time. It’s been 16 years in the making - more if you cycle back to the Balearic sets of the 1990s which inspired me with the notion of telling stories by sequencing tracks and creating a time capsule to take people on a journey through sound. Since Sol System in 2003, with memorable repeats thanks to Disorient, Kostume Kult, Mirage Garage and others who have been kind enough to invite me to play, I’ve been itching to program a more ambitious, ‘soundtrack-ish’ type of set for sunrise at Burning Man. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve stood in front of art cars as the orange orb rose up over the mountains, stared up at the decks and wondered Why, when you’ve got a few thousand spaced-out people in front of a massive sound system, would you choose to play… this?? DJs that don’t take risks and just plod along monotonously – I just don’t get it.

The risk I decided to take this year was to kick off with 10 minutes of beat-free ambience and vocals. Following a chance meeting with the legendary Jefr of Root Society – consistently among the most thunderous, jaw-droppingly awesome sound stages on the playa - he asked me to spin for him Friday 7am. The crowd had thinned out by then, so it didn’t take much balls to pull the rhythmic rug out from under their feet. What it did do was clean out the sonic cache in the audience’s collective head and create a sense of space to reflect the vast expanse and arresting stillness of the desert. There is a more somber side to the Black Rock City experience than the wild hedonism for which it is famous: a soulfulness that emanates tangibly from the sacred terrain and is symbolized by the Temple where thousands leave dedications to those that have recently passed. Gazing out at this year’s edifice, it felt poignant to play a tribute to Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis, a true pioneer of loud/quiet dynamics, who died in February and whose work brims with the existential hum of a lone human coming to terms with a stark wilderness. Thanks to Duncan Forbes for turning me onto that seminal B-side. It provided a lush backdrop for the beats to come back in on a ‘Spiritual High’. Talk about luxury: to let that play out in its entirety, and then bask in Moodswings’ fat bassline rumbling up from the bins below (24 x 21”s among them, FYI)… the cascading choruses and Chrissie Hynde’s peerless vocal pouring out across the playa, scything through the elements, shrinking time and space… it was full-body goosebump stuff that sent shivers down to my bones and gives me shivers just thinking about it as I write this now, a week later. A track I’ve known for 24 years and will now always associate with that amazing moment.

Yes, I do know how I survive, Yes, I do know why I’m alive, To love and be with you, Day by day by day by day…

The next section of the mix offers nothing much new, just a few favorite tracks from over the years that seemed to gel really well as the dawn warmed us up. The power of the stage made these tunes sound fresh and BIG: stopping people on their bikes as they rode past, inducing them to take a break to dance up their own little private dust storm, then bound up to the platform on Rolling Root all misty-eyed to give me a hug, the music creating a connection with friends and complete strangers alike – that’s what I do it for; that’s what makes it feel like these moments can last forever.

For those who couldn’t be there, and especially Lucy F (whose presence was missed most keenly during the bittersweet cadence of the final track), I hope you’ll get a chance to hear this in similar circumstances: rich vibes, deep frequencies, smiling faces, uplifting lyrics, warm breeze, golden rays bathing distant hills, all the dials turned up to 11. It's not a mix to hammer, it's one to keep under wraps for certain times when this will all make sense - a lucid hour of inner escapism, where music touches your soul.

When Marco, Ali Bar-Bar's music curator extraordinaire, reached out to me about playing their opening night party on Playa, I asked him what sound he wanted to set the tone for the week.  His reply?  "Just blow the roof off that place."

I hope you enjoy!

Alonso Rivero (Disco Set) @ Tierra Bomba - Burning Man 2019

Since the first time I visited Black Rock City, the night of the burn has always been a special one for me and I’ve tried ever since to have a special soundtrack for it, sometimes playing all night long with a partner sometimes putting together the lineup... this time was no exception, the tension and energy created during the burn had set the tone for was about to come, a night of energetic and futuristic sounds until dawn... When my time to takeover came, the mood was already vibrant so it was just perfect to unleash some guitars to raise our fists in the air one last time and to pair with the fire coming from the Warrior’s head and “El Pulpo Mecanico” who was visiting us and made a perfect fit to the atmosphere... What a night...

Enjoy

Burning Man is always such a special experience and a welcomed opportunity to switch off and reconnect! This year was no exception. Very happy to be able to share my Maxa Art Car sunrise set. Hope you enjoy.

Burning Man - Maxa Xaman - 2019

Back in 2018, we came to Burning Man for the first time and we were instantly captivated by the endless and wild impressions of the desert, the art, the music, and above all: the people. It was the same year that, due to a lucky coincidence, we were invited to play a late-night set at Mayan Warrior. Within moments, we fell in love with the art-car and all the people surrounding it. We had a kind of musical epiphany there. So when we were formally invited to come back this year, playing a Thursday sunset concert, we didn't even have to think for a second. We were all hyped like crazy while at the same time feeling very humble about it. Visiting and playing at Burning Man, especially at this esteemed art-car, is something that really stood out in our lives so far. We will cherish this memory forever. It was the second time we played our hybrid live-set, but definitely not the last.
