Burn 2023 🔥

In an attempt to celebrate one of the most spectacular sunsets one can bear witness to -- the one over the Binnekring, in the Tankwa Karoo, that is -- I dug up 17 tracks and strung them together, shortly after the Ba(c)kstage truck had her maiden voyage across the dust. 

In the concoction of songs you'll find some funk, some house, some indie electronic, some remixes, a few warmer chords to pull at the heart strings and just a dash of Robbie Williams. 

Enjoy!

Sunset over the Tankwa | BA(C)KSTAGE at AfrikaBurn | 26 April 2023

Thanks to all of you for coming every afternoon at our le Petit Paris helping us drinking the thousand bottles of Champagne ! 

Playing in my camp in front of all the family members is every year a special one for me, and holy guacamole, this Friday sunset afternoon with you all was such a magical music moment for me. Thank you for your vibe from start to finish, your energy and the feedback I received. Forever Grateful

Pedro

AfrikaBurn 2023 - ATARAX Friday Sunset @ Le Petit Paris

@AFRIKABURN 2023, what an overwhelming experience it was!

Being given the honor to play the iconic, psychedelic Friday sunset on the Boombox right before the burn of the giant weed leaf "Spaced Out", was certainly a highlight for us. 
We hope you enjoy this recording as much as we do <3

Peace and Love,
NEXUS

WULFSOHN - TULPA  - Tuesday Sunset @ AFRIKABURN 2023

This year, while navigating change and the dissolution of my once concrete understanding of reality, I’ve found myself naturally anchored to the sacred, ritualistic aspects of the morning. Journalling, movement, and meditation have undoubtedly kept me from blowing away amidst the storm. 

It is such a universally acknowledged truth that the morning is a time of virtue, expansion, consciousness, and clarity that we barely bother to question it. 

But what of the night? 

Last week, as I lay on the dusty Karoo, staring out into the infinite expanse of stars, I realised that she has just as much to teach us.

She beckons us to surrender our self-awareness in the depths of her embrace, to become one amongst a crowd, safe under the cloak of her darkness. She invites us to revel and relax in the unknown, to lose ourselves in chaos and confusion, to dance and become entranced. In her infinite space, we are able to abandon all conscious thought and premeditation. She shows us a different path to clarity — if only we would welcome her in.

For the night is also sacred.

The Night is Also Sacred | Afrikaburn 2023 | Wednesday [BA(C)KSTAGE]

On Wednesday night at Afrikaburn, after searching the desert for the legendary Dung Beetle for several hours, all of the pent up energy was released in front of the mushroom forest (and on the mutant vehicle for 2 incredible dancers) to this set. I give you, acid house, with an indie twist.

Special thanks to David & Kerry from the Dung Beetle Project for this opportunity, to Ilse for my face paint, to Flora and Petro for hyping me up as well as the crowd, and to Migal van As for these awesome pics x

Kal-Bella X Leslie Mdluli @ Space Cowboys - Thursday 27 Apr - 3pm - AfrikaBurn 2023

Spontaneous Magic. Eternal Love as we find each other in SPACE as 1. Where to start - It was a last minute decision to be part of this years Afrika Burn again ... counting # 7 now ... and still amazed and mesmerized by the uniqueness each moment holds for us - once we step into resonance with our higher selves. 
Truly blessed to have spend unique & precious moments with tribe and connected the stars when they aligned. I am sharing here a moment of my night set at the Ubulanti community that I became part of - building bridges with music and expanding our minds, driven with the force of an eternal beating heart. The set let me from deep inner moments to raving energetic rituals towards unreleased music by my angel https://soundcloud.com/lydgen who couldn't be there to play her music back to a powerful finale.

I hope you enjoy this LIVE Recording from Wednesday Night at Ubuhlanti Stage X Tulpa link up.

Share your feelings, moments and memories in comments below <3<3<3 to remember.

<3 Love you tribe eternally!
