"Like, how is this even possible? - These are the words of my fiancée opening my set at this year's Maxa x Mayan Warrior linkup. I did ask myself the same thing standing on the deer, gazing into the sea of people and art cars in front of us, lost for words at the beauty of this moment. 

It was the first big night after the dust had settled and the rain had dried, and let me tell you - this set was beyond my wildest dreams. So much fun, incredibly special for so many reasons, and pretty surreal, especially considering that I had just arrived on the playa a few hours before after two exhausting days of travel. 
I walked the last miles through the desert to make it in time…

Thank you so much, Maxa and Mayan Warrior - this was sublime <3

Love,
Fabian

Fabian Krooss - Maxa x Mayan Warrior Linkup - Burning Man 2025

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.

Alice grew up listening to African drums and African jazz and developed a big passion for drums and rhythm. Inspired by these influences she incorporates rhythmic elements and melodic features in her sets with a range from Deep House over classic House to Afro house, Afro tech and Latin house. She   is incorporating sounds and vocals from all over the world to create more than music, a story in a place where you get surprised and curious.
