In 2023, the rain stopped me from playing on the Maxa deer - not this year, and to make it even more special, my set was during Man burn. If you have been to the man burn, you know that this is a very special moment. Every art car gathers around the man to see it burn down. It’s an emotional time, the energy is intense, even dark. The man is the central reference of the playa, and once down, chaos surrounds the flames.

When I climbed into the deer, I saw the Maxa family emotional, hugging, celebrating the end of a long week with each other. I was excited, this was a moment I was looking forward to. Once on top of the car, surrounded by the crew, I decided to play an emotional set, more of a soundtrack to the moment than a dance party. The man burnt exactly at minute 25, I hope you like it. 🙏🏻

It's a pleasure for me to share part of this beautiful experience, of playing with the incredible Maxa family at Burning Man. Personally, it was the best experience of my life sharing the days I was in the desert with them from the first day to the last, and having the opportunity to play at sunrise surrounded by incredible people was the icing on the cake. 

The energy and good vibes that were experienced will remain in my heart forever, and nothing makes me happier than being able to relive this moment full of beautiful memories with you! A huge hug to the hearts of everyone, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did that day! <3

Tebby Gonzalez - Maxa - Burning Man 2024

As I biked into deep playa looking for the majestic glowing Maxa deer on Friday night, I kept thinking about how I found out that the reason the deer art car is a deer, is because the legend of how the Mexican tribes found peyote goes that a blue glowing deer appeared and showed them the way to the plant. 

This, of course, as it was told to me when I paid a visit to the Maxa camp a year before the 2024 Burn, after biblical rains paralyzed Black Rock City and decimated my dreams of playing on the Maxa deer… at Sunrise. 

Good things are worth the wait and as I took control of the glowing myth and spirit of the magical deer, I was surrounded by the most amazing crowd in the front, around and behind me. 

This is the musical story of that night, my last and highly proud set of Burning Man 2024. Enjoy!

We’re still floating on cloud nine, finding it nearly impossible to come back down after such a beautiful and intense experience. Playing on the Mayan Warrior this year surpassed anything we could have imagined—it was pure magic.

Burning Man is a testament to the boundless creativity and adaptability of humanity, where together we push limits and create unforgettable memories. This year, we truly lived a dream, a moment etched in our hearts forever.

We are deeply grateful to the entire Mayan Warrior team: Pablo, Amal, Jesús, Arturo, Linus, Thomas, Carlos, and everyone who made this incredible moment possible. You helped us realize one of our biggest dreams, and for that, we are forever thankful. 

A huge thank you as well to David for all the work since day one and Nico for letting us borrow that incredible synth and a special shout out to our friends who have followed and supported us throughout this journey, you mean the world to us.

With love, awe, and endless gratitude,

¨It's always an honor to play at the Warrior and this one was special in so many levels. A new chapter began with the Galaxyer, it´s different but felt the same. It was Saturday night after the man burned surrounded by dust storms and fire twisters. Saturdays are always like our New Year Celebration, sharing with our family and friends, everyone is still buzzing after a tough week playing in the desert. It's always challenging to play on this night as everyone is running on fumes, but it feels special to be a part of the closing ceremony. Usually Burning Man is the time of the year when I really unplug but this year I had to be close to my family, I’m thankful I was able to be back in time to say goodbye. Love You. ¨

¨A last set in a first time Burn, closing a full circle in the Mayan and Maxa link up, playing between a Sandstorm and the ashes of the Temple, where not only me, but many of us left tears, hugs and memories on its walls to be taken by the fire. 

Sharing this moment with @madmotormiquel, a musician and person that I am so lucky to call a friend, with whom I feel the trust to musically go anywhere, and some of our closest and dearest friends as a last dance was beyond special. 

Mayan family, thank you for your trust in us to guide a musical journey in this delicate and emotional moment, and for the best closure we could wish for.¨

Five years of throwing parties, that had to be celebrated. And that gave us the perfect opportunity to step behind the dj booth together for the first time. This is the recording of our b2b set that night, we had an amazing time and think you can hear that. Hope you enjoy ❤️

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.
