"Playing a DJ set at Maxa Camp before the sunrise performance by RÜFÜS DU SOL was an electrifying opportunity. 
The unique energy of Burning Man’s playa, combined with Maxa Camp’s legendary art car and atmosphere, offered a one-of-a-kind experience. The transition into sunrise created a magical moment, where the deep connection between music, the ethereal desert, and the audience was palpable. Setting the tone for RÜFÜS DU SOL’s set meant crafting a sonic journey that balanced anticipation and serenity, seamlessly blended into the rising sun’s transformative energy.
As the deer-headed, flame-shooting art car lighted up the playa, my role was to curate an unforgettable experience for Burners, building the perfect vibe that merges with the magic of the moment. It wasn’t  just a performance—but a collaboration with the elements, the art, and the people."

Maxa is a community of friends united by threads of creativity, spirituality and the desire to do good and evolve. 

We create experiences and spaces that nurture deep human connections and help bring awareness of the gifts of service we all have to offer. 

Our beloved art-car and symbolic representation of our pilgrimage is an ode to the great blue deer, glowing like a beacon of strength, compassion, and inspiration as it dances through the desert. 

It is our guide, our compass, our shaman, lighting our way as we dance together to the rhythm of our hearts.

Born in America and bred in Europe, Stefan Rose has a refined approach to electronic music. An artist who blends warmer organic and darker synthetic elements, his sound bridges the energy of dance floor percussion with the emotion of melodic composition.

Stefan began DJing in Belgium at a young age, which gave him an early fascination with the worlds of House and Techno music. When he later moved back to his native country, he established a musical home in New York City and co-founded Undermind, a leading music collective that has hosted events across Brooklyn and Manhattan. 

In 2025, Stefan released his debut EP “Abyss” with Dear Deer, which hit the #3 chart position across all of Beatport. He has since dropped his follow up EP “This Feeling” via Nihil Young’s label Frequenza and signed with Tube & Berger’s ZEHN Records, cementing Stefan as of one of the most compelling new talents within Melodic Techno and Indie Dance. 

With hometown support in New York and now splitting his time in London with a residency at Bloop London Radio, Stefan is sharing his signature sound all over the world.
