🌓 Afrika Burn 2025 – Solitary Sunset 🌓

A Reflective Techno Journey on Tuesday – @MBOMBOSHIP
This set marks the final chapter in a trilogy of sunset journeys at AfrikaBurn's MBOMBO stage.
After encountering love, then losing it, this closing chapter is a space of quiet reflection. A place where memory lingers, the heart softens, and acceptance begins to bloom.
Solitary Sunset is not a cry of despair – it is a gentle exhale. It is what remains after the fire has burned, after the echoes have faded, and only truth is left.
Across 4 hours and 14 minutes of melodic and emotional techno, you are invited to sit with what still lives inside: the ache, the love, the transformation.
This set is dedicated to the moments that never left. To the conversations we still replay. To the silence that says more than words.
Thank you to the MBOMBO team and the Burn for creating the space for this story to end – or perhaps, to simply shift form.
In this solitude, we are never truly alone.

1️⃣ How this mix came together 🎚️✨

I started with a compatibility graph where every node is a track and every edge means these two are compatible (matching key, vibe & BPM - a blend of the Camelot wheel and personal intuition).

Then I had three constraints:
• keep the whole set locked at 110 BPM
• make sure every must-play track appears in order
• allow for optional tracks that can be added in, while still respecting the compatibility graph

2️⃣ Then I wrote a python script to help with coming up with the final track list

Here is what the script does:

• Core path: For each consecutive pair of must-play tracks the script calls nx.shortest_path with weight=None, which runs bidirectional BFS to find the minimum-hop route between the pair. The routes are concatenated to form one chain that contains every core track in order and only harmonic transitions.
• Optional insertion: The script then scans that chain once from left to right. Whenever an optional track connects to both tracks bordering a gap, it inserts the optional there and labels it “optional,” using the first valid slot it finds for each optional track.

```
import networkx as nx

# 1) build the graph
graph = nx.Graph()
edges = [
    ("Ludo", "Mahoya"), ("Mahoya", "Schleudertrauma"),
    ("Schleudertrauma", "Cheetah"), ("Cheetah", "Wave"),
    ("Wave", "Tanzanite"), ("Tanzanite", "Back to My Roots"),
    ("Back to My Roots", "Back to Black"), ("Back to Black", "Black Diamond"),
    ("Black Diamond", "Shadow Is Blue"), ("Shadow Is Blue", "Hesperides"),
  # etc.
]

graph.add_edges_from(edges)

# 2) declare core and optional tracks
core = ["Ludo", "Mahoya", "Schleudertrauma", "Tanzanite",
        "Back to My Roots", "Back to Black", "Black Diamond",
        "Hesperides", "Akela", "Optimistique-moi"]

optional = ["Cheetah", "Wave", "Slow Ravers", "Things in My Head",
            "Shadow Is Blue", "Voice of Tulum"]

# 3) create the shortest list that covers every core track
path = []
cursor = core[0]
for target in core[1:]:
    path += nx.shortest_path(G, cursor, target)[1:]
    cursor = target

# 4) insert optionals if they lie on a legal edge
for node in optional:
    for i in range(len(path) - 1):
        a, b = path[i], path[i + 1]
        if G.has_edge(a, node) and G.has_edge(node, b):
            path.insert(i + 1, f"{node} (optional)")
            break

print(" → ".join(path))
```

The output gives a ready-to-play order with any optional track tagged “(optional).” Whether an optional track is played, or not, the transitions are still harmonic.

3️⃣ Played tracks

• Temple Tears – Ludo (Original Mix)
• Eternal Moment – Mahoya (Kuako Remix)
• PATH* – Schleudertrauma (Original Mix)
• Thommie G – Tanzanite (Hvitling Remix)
• Don Son – Back to My Roots (Kapoor & fernn Remix)
• Pavel Petrov, VALL – Back to Black (Original Mix)
• Demetrius – Black Diamonds (Tony Casanova Remix)
• Haris Kate – Hesperides Garden (Rabih Rizk Remix)
• Moullinex - Darkest Night (Xinobi Remix)
• Kuako – Akela (Original Mix)
• Mylène Farmer – Optimistique-moi (Zafir Remix)

All tracks pitched to 110 BPM, only harmonic mixing, and the algorithm keeps the path legal even when the optionals are ignored.

Sloth Disco at CAMP 2025

This party was so damn sexy. It was an honor to play for such a vibey crowd that was so down to get down. It's been a little while since I played such a solid party, and I felt at home, back with the Elementum family in my old Venice stomping ground. This set was improvised based on the energy of the room. It started melodic and upbeat, then quickly got booty bumping, before shifting into a downtempo seascape. It ended with a full-on striptease moment where some very sexy friends got downnnnn, leaving us craving to activate our freak.

Boom Festival @ Funky Beach '25

Max Doblhoff creates a modern and traditional crossover between electro-acoustic beats from Vienna and East and West African music. Max  productions contain numerous analog recorded instruments and grooves that have shaped the rapidly growing African house scene in recent decades: Afro House and Afro Fusion, Tribal House, Latin, Cumbia, Funk, Disco and Electronic Grooves. His musical journeys through parts of Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Morocco), the feeling for the vibe of the countries and their traditions, the discovery of individual musical tribes and the culture of spontaneous improvisation shape Max’s musical style.
