Shirley Lites - Heat You Up (Medlar Extended Edit)

Acid Pauli closed out an historical Saturday night which saw the first live music to emanate from New York City’s iconic Wollman Rink in 43 years with a masterful performance . 

His set celebrates the moment, the musical history at the venue, and transported all of those in attendance from the streets of New York, to Berlin, to Burning Man, and beyond. 

Walking out of Central Park at the close of his set on top of the Robot Heart Bus, the energy still high, the group encountered another art car with a party starting in the street at 59th and 5th Ave. Heard wafting through the crowd, the sentiment of “are we even in New York?” seemed unanimous. 

We hope you enjoy the set, and these beautiful memories. As Acid Pauli reiterates, "the music speaks for itself".

"The energy level was high on the first night of BM seeing as it had been some years since the last burn. It was my first time playing on Monday, the feeling was familiar. I had gotten reacquainted with the desert just a few hours before my set, but it was like nothing had changed. It felt amazing to  be surrounded by so many old and new friends sharing music and smiles. This year’s theme was “Waking Dreams” it felt like that in a sense. My family was back home."

"As a first time burner or virgin (as some would like to say) I couldn't wrap my head around what I was going to experience -  I suddenly found myself in the desert torn between the beauty, adventure, excitement of the place and the abundance that makes such hedonism possible. I couldn't help but wonder if it was really necessary to travel to the desert, a place that can be so hostile to life. And then it caught me after all, the magic that everyone talks about. The Burning Man spirit, the fundamental idea of sharing, the warm-heartedness, the beautiful encounters, the indescribable sunrises, the surreal mountains on the horizon, the many bicycles and an endless sea of LEDs.

The night before my show at Mayan Warrior, I just wanted to take a quick look at the art car and then go to sleep, but when I got there I could not leave. The art car's lasers  were reflected in Michael Benisty's sculpture "Reflection" and colored the surroundings in soft green with periodical flame throwers which lit up the faces of the people. Mandrake was playing an incredibly good set that made the crowd go wild. The art car's majestic warrior like face glowed in the night, watching over the sea of bicycles parked in front of it.

In the morning hours, about an hour after sunrise, I went on stage, tired but happy, and took over the music. I thank the hard-bitten ravers who danced so excessively with me despite the rising heat. It was wonderful.

"On Tuesday night, a cloud of slight dust combined with the tiny sparkle from my beloved Burners made a baby Milkyway.
As we returned home from a two-year journey, our hearts shone like fairy lights in our bodies.
Mayan Warrior, the spaceship, traveled safely through the Milkyway navigated by Captain Shubostar. Here you can listen to the story of our voyage. Please feel free to hop in!"

"No dust for three very strange years… This very special place and everything it represents and involves started to be a beautiful but distant memory. Finally going back was nothing but great, and celebrating Ten years of Mayan Warrior (and nine of myself being involved with it) made it even more unique. Every time we linked with Robot Heart in the past meant a lot to me because it was a vibrant proof of the hard work behind the whole operation and what we are as a community, so playing at this years link night having the cherry on top of maxa camp’s deer as a special guest was the best comeback I could have asked for. Playing surrounded by people I love in front of all this magical creatures creating one big single entity reminded me why I do what I do… Thank you all."

"The moment was ideal, to induce the great night of the meeting between the Mayan Warrior, Robot Heart, and Maxa art cars. Returning to my favorite environment to build our audiovisual stories was truly memorable. Feeling again the immensity of the desert, its colors, and surrealism as a source of inspiration, made me remember every moment lived in this decade of construction, materialization, and celebration of creativity with the Mayan Warrior family. 10 years of connections, lessons, friendships, and collective pride, 10 years of dreaming, laughing, and imagining the impossible."

"Friday morning, “THE” morning. The night is over and the sun is touching our faces. I’m standing next to Oliver Koletzki who is about to end a perfect sunrise set.

It’s my turn, the energy is high, the adrenaline even more. Broken But Together is shining in front of us. Everything is exactly as it should be.

I take a deep breath in…and let the music guide me through this magical journey.

Thank you Mayan Warrior for welcoming me into your family and making me feel at home. Thank you to my friends and all the beautiful souls surrounding me who have been part of a dream come true. And a special thank you to the lady who decided to give me some trouble during my performance ;) 

You all have my heart.

Love is what connects us. Love is the medicine. You are the medicine."

"It's always been a real pleasure for us to play for our friends in the dust. 
Several of our fondest moments from the last half of our career together have involved the Mayan Warrior family. We always, ALWAYS seem to play our best sets out there and as Burning Man grows and evolves the MW bus has remained a literal pillar of light in the darkness for us all. 

Long May she sail. 

One love."

"HAPPY X ANNIVERSARY @mayanwarrior 

Ever since I saw the Warrior go out into the playa for the first time in 2014 and lived the magic of chasing music in the most psychedelic ambiance there exists, I dreamt of this moment. So it’s no secret that It fills my heart with gratitude and excitement to have been able to share this dream as part of the Warrior’s 10 year celebration. Playing in front of the beautiful Ilumina sculpture, cruising the playa while curating the soundtrack on the Warrior’s powerful sound system and seeing  all the bikes follow the Warrior and settle in front of an amazing LED lit dance floor is an experience that can only take place in this magical surreal experience we call Burning Man.
Huge thanks to all the ravers that came and danced to my music, thank you for your support and kind words, it is always so gratifying to share music I love with all of you.
 Huge thanks to the Mayan Warrior team for always going above and beyond, for creating communities of friends that last lifetimes, for allowing space for creativity and dancing. For putting out top quality productions, for opening space to all size artists, for creating magic moments and making dreams come true. It truly takes hard work to keep the magic going."

"Closing down Burning Man at Mayan Warrior as a first-time burner was a true honor. I crafted my selection to capture the complex range of emotions I experienced at the festival, from melancholic introspection to euphoric energy. Thank you to Mayan Warrior and especially Amal and Pablo for giving me this opportunity. Enjoy this trip…"

"Burning Man is happenning again after 3 years, and the Mayan Warrior is blowing it’s 10th candle... oh boy, playing this closing set was kind of a responsibilty, right? As a Dj I believe that if there is one set in the year that you shall prepare it’s for sure this one… and God knows I did; playlisting my most special and sophisticated music for hours during the summer.
But once I was out there in dust, flowing with the energy of my fellow burners that went all the way to this very last moment, surrounded by the warriors amongst the warriors, well… I must say I didn’t really followed the plan. The word of Ricardo Villalobos that I sampled in the first track I played resonated the whole set in my mind « in the party everyone is just like a kid, innocent, not serious, not responsible » and here comes the disco, baby!
if  I had to describe a Burning Man early morning to a blind person I would simply play him Time by Pachanga Boys. It might be the only track from my original playlist that made it to the actual set... 10 years after it’s release I couldn’t think of anything more appropriate to close this very special week.
I still get goosebumps when I remember that magic morning and I’m forever grateful to every soul who made that moment possible. Love you so much!!!
Dani"

Mayan Warrior is the result of a collaborative project that has united artists, craftsmen, photographers, designers, technologists, architects and musicians from Mexico City and Northern California. 

The project’s original intent was to present to the world the incredible ascent of contemporary Mexican electronic music while paying respect to the deep and ancient sources from which that visual and auditory culture had grown.


Both light and sound are curated by some of the world’s most prominent artists to transport participants to the very origins of the culture – and to a new understanding of contemporary electronic expression.

AND YES: Mayan Warrior is driven from Mexico City to the playa – and back – each year. It's a labor of love and we're glad so many people enjoy it.
