Discovering inspiration in its full glory and astonishment doesn't happen often, especially in the middle of an immense, dry desert...

As the sun sets behind the formidable range of mountains in the horizon, Black Rock City becomes illuminated with thousands and thousands of lights that glow around you and in the horizon of Deep Playa. Thousands of friends gather in the middle of nowhere, on the dusty dance floor where time ceases to exist in the most surreal setting of flamboyant music, art and people.

Burningman inspires in so many ways that explicating it in words feels impossible. Thus, I tell my journey in the dusky desert through music that time after time impresses me and is able to set me on a beautiful, emotional journey, to relive some of those spectacular moments with dearest friends, at Robot Heart and all around BRC.

Home is where love, light and inspiration exist <3

Deep Playa Dusk

My 2h set from the out-worldly cosmic gathering of Hedone this past September. A very unique chance to play deep and sensual music for the most beautiful vibing dance floor.  Offered me a space to create an atmosphere that too rarely is possible...It was epic!

Thank you for showing us how magical it can be to get together with open hearts and expansive minds. 

113bpm, slow enough to feel deep, fast enough to get your groove on.

I will cherish this one for long <3

Hedone Seminar Sept -21

Dawn arrives to the Deep Playa in Black Rock City. Melodic groovy basslines, smiling beautiful people united in dance under the rising sun. Unforgettable moments of deep joy and inspiration. This is my journey on Deep Playa with some of the dearest music, older and new, moving, smiling, melodic, groovy, dirty, sexy! Dancing with dear friends from the dawn, through the day yet to another dusk...Playa memories!

Hope you enjoy my carefully picked selection and that this will take you on a sunny dance journey on the dusty dance floor, every time you listen to it, no matter where you are.

Share, comment, download, ENJOY!

Knowing no boundaries of genres, style or tempo, Night Tales Podcast series will channel out my favorite nocturnal music, diving deep with trippy melodies, chunky grooves and soulful vocals... Enjoy xx

Night Tales Podcast #01

As the starting Northern winter serves us with less light and warmth by the day, the music feeds us with the melodies to keep us warm. It's been a 3 year break for me to feel the true impact of winter and how it affects the mood and spirit… It is a deeper sound with small hints of beautiful melancholia, always keeping that positive melodic groove, soulful warmth, fuzzy beat, hugging you on the dancefloor,  holding onto that cozy hypnosis...

Night Tales Podcast #02 - Winter Warmer

Island love is an ecstatic state of mind that softly removes you from the rest of the world, and takes you into a blissful vortex of smiley sunrise jams and full-moon disco nights. 

It's difficult for me to describe the depth and power of the magic I feel when I get back to the island state of mind, feeling the most potent dreamy energy rushing through me... Koh Phangan and Bali.. Thank You for keeping the magic flowing and rejuvenating me with inspiration and new dreamy visions!

This music is what pulses in me, while taking in the fresh sea breeze, being stunned by massive moon-rings, dancing under the starry skies. Deep, dreamy, groovy, sexy... Enjoy!

Island Love

Wanderlust. How to describe that feeling with words - the longing for clear blue skies, ocean breeze and sandy dunes. These are the soundscapes that make our minds wander in the neverending summer days... Be a dreamer <3 

Enjoy! xx

The sun slowly sets behind the mountains welcoming the gentle darkness, intensifying by the hour, accompanied with the electric mystique of the adventures unknown. The Night is here, ready for the dreamers to explore it! 

I wanted to put together the perfect soundtrack for my dreamy playa expedition, a mix of music that would entail all those extreme, sometimes very zygomorphic emotions. Deep moments of feeling with all senses. A wavy journey through highs and lows guided by the constantly present hypnosis. 

Let life be a dreamy journey x

Night Tales #03 Playa Dreams

After so many years it being in the back of my mind, I finally took the time to put together my first ambient chillout compilation of some of my favorite, powerful and soulsoothing music. I built this mix to suit any moment of the day: poolside chills, midnight moonrings, pink-blue sunsets, and dreamy starry skies. 

For lovers, explorers, and wandering dreamers... Let life be a dreamy journey xx

LionHeart - Wanderlust (Ambient Chillout)


As the amazing Wild Sirenda magic-duo brought the party from the night into the beautiful sunrise, with such breathtaking power and impress, I had my biggest pleasure to take on the decks after and lead the crowd further into the beautiful sun filled day, at my all time favorite beach with all time favorite crowd! Dreamy daytime grooves!

Simply...THE best crowd, on my favorite beach in THE whole world = THE best party!! 

That was more than 24h of pure quality music, from deep and dreamy to chunky dubby bangers…And Ohh the biggest love that was shared <3 

LionHeart - Magic Beach Fest 2016

Our experience & set at Bling Festival in Estonia was truly something magical. First time ever we played in a gigantic tipi with the dreamiest decor, with a massive, light up fireplace in the middle of it.... Full, pulsing dancefloor of dreamy dancers with the most impressive and beautiful costumes & outfits. Deep in the mysterious and beautiful Estonian elf forest...and all this strictly aligned with the Burning Man ethos! 

The landscape and energy at the festival set us on a very dreamy, hypnotic vibe, inspiring us to play our favourite set to date! Deep, groovy, chunky, melodic, floaty, hypnotic...

It was a privilege to play among the many impressive artists who shared their unique music and talent! Thank you for the unique magic Bling crew, biggest love from the Finnish Leos xx

A selection of some of my favourites, put together in an unplanned journey.. natural flow.. keeping the dreaminess from beginning to end but shifting between a wide range of sounds. Deep, emotional, positive, moving

Listening to your intuition and letting it guide you to the unknown can be very challenging and full of doubt... But once you do, and you let yourself open up to your Soul's true flow, the manifestations will become the reality.  

In music, love, life...let your soul float you and show you the way. Less thinking more feeling, and the answers come from within xx

Chicle - Viva La Electronica

There are moments when life feels challenging, filled with fear and doubt. The search for purpose and meaning seems confusing and endless. We go through experiences that shake us and break us… 

…But only so that we can make us! Again. Back into the wholeness we always were and always will be.

To look at the dark side, that lies within each one of us. The fear that is not real - The ego. It’s all necessary. So we can truly find…ourselves!

It is in the deepest darkness where the brightest light can be found. The Warrior of Light! Who we all are. We just have to dare. To be bare. To dive deep. See and feel with our heart and soul.

In these moments. Music reminds us. Of who we are. And where we’re going.

In to the Light <3

HOPE

We are in the middle of experiencing the biggest and most intense paradigm shift of our time. Our systems are collapsing as they are based on the greed and values defined by patriarchic ego. The chaos in the world has in many moments felt overwhelming and confusing, without a clear vision in the horizon of how we can return into balance and harmony with everything that exists. But we are finally collectively waking up!

Yet, amongst all this turmoil, there are new, never-seen signs of unity. People rising together against oppression beyond color or nationality, awareness and action to protect indigenous people and their land is increasing, their ancient wisdom of the cosmos is remerging for us all to learn from. We're starting to understand the value and importance of taking care of nature. The power is slowly going back to the people instead of tyrants…There is Hope!

This selection of my favorite productions represent that to me. I recorded it on this June full moon as my personal ritual, ranging from shamanic ambient to cosmic downtempo with an ethereal flow. This is my journey full of feelings… full of Hope.

With love and blessings,

Lasse
