sets/mixtapes

Well *that* was something else. Truly.

This was the fourth successive year I'd played a sunrise on the Playa with my most excellent friends at the Nutz camp, and this year *everyone* upped the bar. The One Series (my vehicle for DJs to express themselves fully through uber-long sets) effectively sprang out of the love & passion for these ethereal mornings at Burning Man, so it seemed fitting that this would become One Playa Sunrise.

As with every year the sun was shining, everyone wore a vast, passionate smile with wonderful sights & sounds filling the air. We were joined by The Dusty Rhino & Painkiller, along with most of Distrikt. It was the perfect morning.

At the end, six intensely wonderful hours later, I dissolved into tears, not for the first time this week & the dancefloor submerged me. 

I hope it takes you there.

Chet Faker Boiler Room Melbourne Live Set

(PART ONE)

Recorded Live and unedited at Nutz Camp, Burning Man 2015 ... this most epic of One Series Sunrise sets wound up some time after 3pm. Given it's length (at around 9 hours), it has been split into two parts. For those of you looking for a single downloadable version, I may well put that on my Dropbox (download on request).

This Burn was my 7th, and the 6th playing Sunrise at Nutz. Far & away the biggest crowd to date gathered around dawn and joined me for 9 hours of pure magic, as only the playa can provide. This Burn was tough - the weather was aggressive, punishing and harsh, and we both commemorated huge losses (Jon Horvath, David Ringel) and learnt of the saddest of losses to our DISTRIKT family (Mike Reigle) as we were on the Playa.

This set held their spirits dear - a celebration of life, of love, or growth, of transformation, of commemoration. 

Be there for each other and seize the day xoxo

Lee Burridge - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

Sunday morning, the most beautiful sunrise, after almost a whole week in the desert. It was been the coldest night so far, I remember setting up my gear, nervously hoping it wouldn’t let me down, when the sound-technician came up to me and said, "We might have a problem, there’s a storm coming!“. I turned around and saw a huge dark wall of sand reaching up to the sky, rolling into our direction.
I started playing anyways, and somehow the storm merged together with the lyrics of my songs, and changed their meaning. It had been the roughest condition I ever played in, and it really was a special one. Thank you for that experience!

ART:

The Chapel of Dancing Shadows is a space of contemplation, meditation, wonder. It is a communal space serving as art gallery, refuge, and sound bath. The 8-ft walls are covered in delicate drawings— the first 12 images of a developing 150-plate series of works composing Maria Kreyn’s Codex, an allusion to an invented creation myth. The ceiling is an elaborate CNC cut structure, creating the feeling of an arabesque lace canopy. From it hang detailed rafters and a collection of wind chimes, as an ode to the sounds in the temples of Myanmar.   

"As a child, I doodled. As an adult, the images have evolved into a complex universe in their own right-- a surreal, yet classically inspired world of fantasy, illusion, spatial bending, and mythology. The images are meanderings through the labyrinths of the subconscious. They gesture at a creation myth of an invented civilization, at the beauty and aesthetic of pattern making in the human mind--both visual and literary.  As this body of work evolves, the images find new outlets, new homes, new media to participate in. Making their debut as the walls of an immersive installation (The Chapel of Dancing Shadows), they are now available to enjoy in a smaller, more intimate print form, closer to their original size.”  -Maria

Every year on the Playa brings new lessons. Some are complex, some are simple reminders. For the two of us this past year, the message was "back to basics." As hyper-analytical DJs, we're prone to focusing on performance from a critical viewpoint: did we gauge the energy level correctly, were our transitions dialed in? But this year, playing after the sunrise on Friday, seeing so many friends and campmates out for a morning dance reminded that the point of all this is a simple one: coming together and sharing moments of joy. A wonderful and welcome wake-up call. Thanks to Robot Heart for setting the stage!

Jamie Jones joins forces with New York’s David Berrie for an electrifying two track release on Hot Creations. Doctor Zouk is the result of a friendship spanning many years, and is set to be unleashed this Autumn.

Title track Doctor Zouk is a bumpy, chuggy roller with a prominent percussive break and heady tribal undertone. Future Society uses thumping drum pads over a growling bassline with unmistakable high hats weaved together over futuristic synths.

Jamie Jones is one of the industry’s most in demand and recognised DJs. He heads up one of Ibiza’s most treasured parties, Paradise at DC10, and now takes it to all corners of the globe. His revered Hot Creations imprint has put out more than one hundred releases as well as playing a major part in launching the careers of Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed and Detlef.

Spending his formative years in New York, sneaking into the city’s diverse and flamboyant nightclubs and heavily influenced by a broad spectrum of genres, it wasn’t long before David Berrie took to the turntables. He released on Jones’ Hottrax label last year and has had a number of releases on Nervous and Monique Sp é ciale. He commands regular slots at BPM festival as well as at the Paradise nights.

Please allow us to show you something,

If you were at this years burning man you know how incredible it was. It needs no explanation nor can we explain it in words. You felt the somehow elevated vibe in the air that somehow made every cell in all of our bodies just get in some sort of beautiful flow. This year we made a special edit which you’ll hear at the end of the set made especially for our sunrise set at robot heart. During this moment at sunrise, we all laughed and even cried together. This is what we live for, these moments on top of the Robot Heart bus. 

If you weren’t able to make it this year, or you decided this was the year to take off, we dedicate this mix to you and we also dedicate this mix to infinite love to all, Weeeee are in a romantic mood these days. Cause love and music have no boundaries! We want to share it with everyone. 
Yup insert some 🧀 here.   Genuinely. 

Thank you Robot Heart for your Unconditional commitment to love, music and the Playa. 

Big loves 
Your two Canadian music lovers — BLONDISH

Monolink 

Singer-Songwriter and Electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture - which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he's both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.

Enjoy

Hello World,

Do you ever get the feeling that life is moving too fast? That all you wish in the world is just a few moments to catch your breathe? Personally, I feel like I am in a constant whirlwind of obligations, responsibilities, and events that leave me feeling mentally fatigued. I try to do everything I can to try and be present in the moment and put everything I have into what I am doing, but what I have found is that I don't leave the necessary time to reflect on the beautiful times shared and the milestones I have crossed. So much has happened in the last year, and even in the past month. I have learned powerful and important lessons but I fear I have not taken the time necessary to integrate them into my life. I have done a lot of character building this year, but have I taken the necessary time to reflect on this and realign to who I am and where I am going?

Life pushes us around, constantly...and as such, I need to consistently check in with myself:

Who are you? Who are you trying to be? 
Where are you going? What are you doing to make a difference? 
Are you proud of yourself lately? If not, what are you doing about it?

I am sure I am not alone in these questions, or maybe you are plagued by others...but I challenge you with a simple question... "Do you allot yourself time to be alone with your thoughts?" To simply be alone and reflect critically on the questions that have been lingering in the back of your head. 

I am a strong believer that everyone could benefit from more time alone. Unplug from the social network, physically and digitally. Check in with yourself and realign to your individual self. Simply allow yourself to think critically for a minute.  I am definitely the first to admit, sometimes I don’t want to think too much about it and just push forward to the next thing. Sometimes I am afraid of what I will discover if I ask honestly and earnestly. To think critically for a while, to sit with the answers, positive or negative. To dig deep on the root cause of your emotions, and don't let the surface level thoughts trick you into thinking that is the true answer. Push to the bottom of what plagues you to come to peace with it and gather proper headspace. 

Headspace. It's a term I use often to describe where I am mentally. Am I stressed, tired, frustrated, lost, content...or happy? It is something I need to continually check in on, to be sure I am putting my best foot forward with who I am and where I am going. I need my mind and my focus to be rock solid, because when someone calls on me...I need to be there, without question or hesitation. I need my energies and my mind to be at peace so that I can best help others. If my thoughts and my life are in chaos, I am in no shape to help anyone, no matter how badly I may want to. People always ask me why I practice yoga everyday...what is my intention, my purpose? And my answer is simple...I practice everyday in an attempt to free up my headspace.

David Goggins said it best when he said “I am not training for a race, I am training for life. I’m training for that time in the morning when I get that call at 2am that my mom is hurt or something happens tragic in life… I don’t fall apart. I am training my body, my mind, and my spirit, so it is all one...so I can handle what life is going to throw at me. Because the life I have lived…it throws a whole bunch at you. Because if you aren’t physically and mentally prepared for that, you are going to fall apart…and then you aren’t good for anyone…” 

So ask yourself. Where is your headspace? And if you don't know, fear not. I created this compilation of music to guide you to your answer. This mix is a peek into my mind and my personal journey to proper headspace. The ups, downs, sideways of my thoughts.

I made this mix for you. To give yourself a breathe of fresh air so you can reflect and gather your own form of proper headspace. I hope it helps you find the answers you are looking for.

Much Love,
Audio Pool
