ELIF @ OAXACA EXPERIENCE 22 | OAXACA, MEXICO | 05.03.2022

"We thought about that moment a lot of times, we have dreamed that moment a lot of times, we have imagined that moment a lot of times. 

And with all the preparation, advices you receive, you really think you can handle the emotion of playing your live act, on the incredible Mayan Warrior art car at your first burning man. 

But no, you can't simply be ready to receive or feel this kind of emotion or wave of massive happiness. Your body can't be ready. 
And It’s normal, there is nothing that can prepare you for it. That’s why it’s so unique, beyond what we could have imagined. 

We experienced during a 1h30 live set : a cruise with few hundreds incredible crazy bikes, a massive dust storm that can damage all our keyboards (with the stress to have damage on our gears during the live), the arrival of the most incredible sky full of stars and on top of that an amazing and beautiful crowd. 

And that’s why this experience is so different, and can't be described, but it will stay in our hearts and minds forever. 

We want to thank the incredible Mayan Warrior team; Pablo, Rodrigo, Amal, Jesus, Linus and everyone who helped and put in so much energy and effort to bring the artcar alive. 

On our side we hope you will enjoy the musical journey. It was the last chapter of our live act “number 1”. And there is no better place to finish a chapter than in the middle of the desert with our favorite team."

Chambord (live)- Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022

"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 ❤️"

When my tribe of the north of the island gathers in pink, for a proper villa celebration. This crew likes it punchy.

We have to admit this set was our ‘wow’ moment of this year's Burn. 

Coming up on the bus on the Saturday morning and watching Lee Burridge deliver another iconic sunrise set. The crowd was vibrating and our adrenalin started to pump. We were up next, about to play the last official set of Burning Man Robot Heart 2022.  And as we started to play, it truly felt like a dream. 

Those who were at the burn will know that this year was a hot one and as time passed during our set, the hotter it became, yet the playa dance floor lived on. It was so heart-warming to see so many stay with us on this musical journey despite the heat. 

With The Robot Heart team holding umbrellas on the CDJs screens and our foreheads, our crew dancing in the heart above us, and a playa filled with smiles time stopped for that moment. 

With Benjamin extending the set several times, we think we may have even beaten the record for number of closing tracks. Thank you to everyone who was there with us and to those who are listening now. 

Our Robot Heart 2022 was definitely one memorable rollercoaster. 

Big love

"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.

♥️"

"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 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."

“This was the first night back on the playa since 2019, and also the first night of my first burn. I was still getting my bearings, and now here we were, biking in search of the famed Mayan Warrior in the middle of a dust storm with nearly whiteout conditions — it was one of those surreal images of Burning Man that will be with me forever.

We followed the art car into the dust until it parked in front of the “Reflection” art piece. Once aboard the Mayan, I was stunned by the sea of colorful lights illuminating the dark desert, a scene beyond imagination. This set is the result of the incomparable, pulsating energy from everyone around me — it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

To have had the opportunity to play for the 10 year anniversary of Mayan Warrior was a huge honor. Thank you to the entire MW crew who made this dream come true, and to everyone who came out to support and welcome me home. xx Julya ”

As I must have said before, Fusion is probably THE festival that shaped my sound and it was a dream come thru for me to play there! 🚀 It started raining a bit before my set and I loved how all the ravers went on not giving a f. about getting wet! ☔️ After around 1.45 -2 hours in, it started to become morning, but not a sunny bright morning, a dark German one and it actually worked perfect with the music I wanted to play at Fusion in my dreams all those years. 🌥️ Honestly it's not one of my best mixing, I was maybe a bit too excited, but I am in love with every single track I played and I really enjoyed every second of this experience, sharing my music in the festival that I have always heard incredible sets from my biggest inspirations. 💕 I connect deeply to every value this festival stands for, i enjoyed it endlessly and will always cherish this memory. Big thanks to everyone who shared this unforgettable moment with me and for those who were not there, I hope you enjoy the recording.

I had the best time at Tomorrowland first weekend on Saturday afternoon, playing my favorite music and some upcoming stuff from my label @marginalialabel 🪼🪼🪼

With incredible hospitality, very nice details everywhere and crazy production of course, Tomorrowland definitely lives up to the reputation.

It was a very emotional and special moment to see the Turkish flags 🥹🇹🇷 and I honestly didn’t expect to have such an amazing crowd at 4pm in the afternoon ❤️ What a beautiful surprise 🙌🏻 And listening to the set after and being able to hear all the support and joy from the crowd just brought me back to this unforgettable moment, gave me goosebumps and I'm very happy to share it with you!

Big thanks to CORE & ZAMNA for having me in the most hidden, intimate & unique stage of Tomorrowland and big thanks to the beautiful crowd for dancing with me

Elif - Tomorrowland 2023 - Zamna Presents Core Stage WE1 Saturday

In 2016 I went to -now my dear friend, back then only my favorite DJ- Mira's birthday at Kater Blau for the first time. I was super into music, making mixtapes at home, going to so many parties and writing about them but not a DJ yet.

The vibe of the club, the music in all floors, and the fact that Mira is big supporter of female acts and seeing all these badass women playing mind-blowing music at this party had its mark on me.

Watching these legends Mira, Britta, Mimi Love, Mila Stern, Caleesi, I wanted to do it myself and I found the motivation, courage and inspiration because they were also women like me! Representation is so important!

In the following years I kept going to this party for my yearly dose of inspiration and of course fun!

Over the years, inspired by Mira and being colleagues now, we became friends and her impact on my life wasn't just musical. She's such a wise and wholesome person with integrity and the heart in all in the right places, that having her as a friend and inspiration definitely made me a better person and my journey of the new international touring DJ way smoother.

in 2021 I was even supposed to play for Mira's 44th birthday for the first time but the pandemic... (I mean I don't even need to finish this sentence). I ended up playing her 44.5 in Summer, the Ersatz Katzen party :)

Anyway, fast forward to 7 years and the birthday queen not only invited me to play her 46 Katzen party but also gave me the biggest honor of taking over the stage after her.

Playing Thursday in NYC, Friday in Montreal, flying back to Europe on Saturday, Sunday noon I arrived to Berlin like a zombie. Sleep before and after the set is hard but during... Actually not that bad. I was on a dream state throughout my set.

It felt really like a dream playing in a room not too long ago gave me the inspiration to be here today celebrating a women who always lifts others up as she rises. 

I also played music from my label Marginalia, I heard Mira and Mila Stern playing Marginalia too and I also two new artists from Marginalia family, Bakayan and D’aria were In the room when I played their unreleased music! What a moment 
I stayed sleep dancing until late because of all the incredible music

what an honor to play at this unique birthday celebration, I am grateful to life

Alles gute zum Geburtstag liebe Mira and thank you for being you!

I hope you all enjoy my set

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.
