there was once a time we could download a set playes on burning man.. Is this ethos not working anymore?

"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."

"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."

"Wednesday night, right before the link with Robot Heart and Maxa, people on their bikes following the warrior art car until it found its spot. An amazing drone show appeared in front of us, creating a perfect introduction for my set.

My first time playing with Mayan Warrior was at the virtual burn during weird times. This year I got to play for real in the desert – a dream come true. I love being part of this super talented family and grateful to all of them for making the seemingly impossible possible and bringing us all together. 

To all the magic burners, thank you for sharing your energy ❤️"

"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."

"Where the vastness of our imagination 
Is transformed
from Ether to Matter
Burning as a pilgrimage
Letting the curiosity of our inner child guide us home.

If we are not dreaming all together this world into being,
Could this surreal Tuesday night playing on the Mayan have actually happened?
Thank you for dancing, for listening to the set, for reliving this moment out of time! 
Gratitude for the magic, for this collective dream! 

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream.

♥️"

"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."

"It’s always an absolute pleasure to play for the amazing people at Mayan Warrior. Especially during Burning Man. I know how much time and effort you all spend preparing for this event every year, so it’s really an absolute honor to be asked to play for you all. Big love always, and massive thanks to everyone that showed up on Sunday morning! Definitely one of the most memorable shows I have ever played. Respect!

“A dream come true and honor to return back to play on one of the most special and incredible magical artcars. It felt like I was over the moon transported into musical space lazer heaven. I couldn’t be more grateful for that moment to share with the Mayan warrior family and all the dusty beings that came to dance with me that beautiful night."

"It has been a journey of two years since the last Burning Man and the anticipation was electric. To be able to play music on Burn night was a dream come true and I am forever grateful for the unwavering support of the Mayan Warrior crew for so many years.

The Mayan Warrior may  just be a vehicle to many, but to me it means so much more. It is a home, a family and a source of endless joy and inspiration. I was grateful for every moment I spent on its decks, lost in the magic of the music, lasers and the flames. I knew that playing Saturday night would be an everlasting memory for me and I hope it was for those that were present."

Holder - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022

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.
