Everyone who’s been to a burn probably knows how emotional, mind-blowing, and deeply fulfilling that week can be. My Sunday sunrise set at Maxa was without a doubt one of the most special and emotional sets of my life – just like the entire week at Burning Man. What an intense and beautiful journey, culminating in that final sunrise I got to play on the deer.

Huge thanks to Maxa for having me and for creating one of the most stunning art cars out there! I loved every second of that set and felt truly honored to curate the soundtrack to that last sunrise out on the playa.

It’s moments like these that fuel my fire and remind me why I keep doing what I do. ❤️‍🔥

My first time playing on Maxa will forever be unforgettable. It was also my first time bringing my violin to the Playa, and I couldn’t have dreamed of a more magical setting for her debut than among the beautiful deer.

Thank you to the Maxa family and the incredible team for welcoming me with open arms—and to everyone who gathered around to dance with me.

With all my heart and love,
Riche

Riche (Live) - Maxa - Burning Man 2024

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. 🙏🏻

Nacho Isa - Maxa - Burning Man 2024

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,
Pierre & Tim - Chambord

Kicking off the year in the best way possible! Counting down to the new year with all of you and dancing the night away at one of our favorite playgrounds, Crania, with the incredible Maxa Camp family. There’s something truly magical about this art car that words can’t explain. A night to remember, grateful for this unforgettable moment!

“To be the first artist on Monday night at Burning Man on the new Mayan Warrior Galaxyer is likely the biggest honor as DJ of 24 years. As a practicing Architect and touring DJ, the admiration I hold for the work Mayan Warrior weaves together to bring the highest level of design, sound, lighting and music, in the form of an “artcar” is endless. 
Having not seen the new design of the Mayan Warrior art car the night of my set, and being lost in the desert, trying to find it was an adventure that almost cost me missing my set. I had no idea what to look for. The only clue I could think about was lasers… but in the hectic sky of Black Rock City, the commanding, brightest vertical laser beam, connecting deep into the cosmos was my only clue. 

With less than 10 minutes until the beginning of my DJ set, and out of breath form vigorously riding my bike to arrive to the Galaxyer on time, there was no time to overthink it. I plugged into the systems, set the controls for the galaxy and let the music flow… Prepare for my cinematic & cosmic musical journey aboard the new Mayan Warrior Galaxyer; featuring tracks of mine which I wrote dreaming of playing them on this amazing creation, plus some old ones from 2001. Flying that spaceship was truly legendary. 

Eternal gratitude to the Mayan Warrior family (the entire crew and Amal, Pablo & Rodrigo), for having me be a part of the Galaxyer’s re-birth story, and all of you who were there on playa on this special night.”

¨Performing atop the new Mayan Warrior at Sunset on Friday at Burning Man this year felt like stepping into a dream. Watching the sun melt into the horizon as I played my set of originals, edits, remixes and my electric guitar, I felt deeply connected to the moment.

Each year at Burning Man is its own special thing. Sometimes magic, sometimes mud :) This was my favorite Burn since 2012 because everything felt right. Perfect weather, amazing vibe, celebrating my birthday with incredible people, and being part of co-creating moments that will stay with me forever. Combine this with playing the grand return of the Mayan Warrior before the legendary Rufus Du Sol, and this is a week I don't think I'll ever forget.

Endless gratitude to Pablo, Rodrigo, Amal and the rest of the Mayan Warrior crew who made this all possible.¨

I'm very happy to finally release the recording of my 57 Records Launch party for the 57 Grand Crew at HERO NYC. This setup was something I will never forget, I'm so glad to have been a part of it being in the eye of the dance storm we created!

¨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. ¨

As we head toward our first sunrise on playa this year, we’re excited to share the last sunrise set of BM24. 🌅🎼

In Vanjee’s own words:

As we get closer to Burn 2025, I’m beyond excited to finally share something truly special with you: my sunrise set from Robot Heart at Burning Man 2024. ❤️‍🔥

This one was a long time in the making with the incredible Robot Heart crew, and I’m so grateful to release it into the world. I hope it brings you back to that magical morning, or transports you there if you weren’t with us.

Much love, and hopefully I’ll see you deep in the dust this year.

Vanjee - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2024

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.
