@mfifus3zd6kr: dubfire - the end to my beginning :)

Wow, another amazing set. Where have you been all my life!!!

Ok there we gooooo!! Thank you for the music !

Already one of my favorite sets and right up there with Miss Melera’s 2014 DGTL set who, go figure, also played GusGus – Crossfade (Maceo Plex remix). But this reminds you why you love house music. The set has that drive which keeps you dancing but also that ethereal sound to really let you float away in your thoughts, time and space. 2022 was my first and, for now, only burn and this set really brings out all the great memories of that first Playa experience.

here is where it is biting me... fucking grinding this out in the hot weather in my hut.

Here's the set I played at the magical mezcal amores experience in the middle of the agave fields in mitla, oaxaca between 12:30 - 3:30 am first weekend of March 2022

I hope you enjoy <3

ELIF @ OAXACA EXPERIENCE 22 | OAXACA, MEXICO | 05.03.2022

Words can't describe yet another sunrise of epic proportions this time at the C.A.M.P. (Calling all Magical People) co-created gathering. Right at the beginning of my DJ set at 4:30 am on July 4th (US Independence Day) the cops showed up to try to shut the party down due to noise complaints.

I had the difficult task of keeping the decibel levels under a certain threshold, so I had to nurture a huge dance floor for the closing set of the festival until 7am somewhat quietly until we were able to ramp up the volume to proper dance floor levels.

I am not sure if it was that we all wanted this so badly, or the majestic rays of sunshine coming down upon us, all I know is that 17 encore songs & tracks after the supposedly closing "Lovely Day" song, we kept raving and raging until we almost dropped.

One of the most memorable mornings in my 21 years of DJ'ing. Here's the recording of the full 4.5 hrs of the closing sunrise DJ set. I hope it takes you all back and for those of you who weren't there I hope it brings you the sunrise  joy and magic we collectively had.

Recorded live from the ruins of an abandoned 200-year-old factory in Atlixco, Mexico for Mezcal Amores - Boda de Muertos.  This epic venue and the atmosphere of the crowd really inspired the moods captured in this set. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Chambord - DJ Set - Mezcal Amores x Boda de Muertos 2022

“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 ”

Julya Karma - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022

We’re still floating on cloud nine, finding it nearly impossible to come back down after such a beautiful and intense experience. Playing on the Mayan Warrior this year surpassed anything we could have imagined—it was pure magic.

Burning Man is a testament to the boundless creativity and adaptability of humanity, where together we push limits and create unforgettable memories. This year, we truly lived a dream, a moment etched in our hearts forever.

We are deeply grateful to the entire Mayan Warrior team: Pablo, Amal, Jesús, Arturo, Linus, Thomas, Carlos, and everyone who made this incredible moment possible. You helped us realize one of our biggest dreams, and for that, we are forever thankful. 

A huge thank you as well to David for all the work since day one and Nico for letting us borrow that incredible synth and a special shout out to our friends who have followed and supported us throughout this journey, you mean the world to us.

With love, awe, and endless gratitude,
Pierre & Tim - Chambord

Here's the recording of my closing sunrise set for the first ever Candelaria festival on the coast of Oaxaca in Mexico. Eternal thanks for Michael Z & Chamberlin for having me!

“To be the first artist on Monday night at Burning Man on the new Mayan Warrior Galaxyer is likely the biggest honor as DJ of 24 years. As a practicing Architect and touring DJ, the admiration I hold for the work Mayan Warrior weaves together to bring the highest level of design, sound, lighting and music, in the form of an “artcar” is endless. 
Having not seen the new design of the Mayan Warrior art car the night of my set, and being lost in the desert, trying to find it was an adventure that almost cost me missing my set. I had no idea what to look for. The only clue I could think about was lasers… but in the hectic sky of Black Rock City, the commanding, brightest vertical laser beam, connecting deep into the cosmos was my only clue. 

With less than 10 minutes until the beginning of my DJ set, and out of breath form vigorously riding my bike to arrive to the Galaxyer on time, there was no time to overthink it. I plugged into the systems, set the controls for the galaxy and let the music flow… Prepare for my cinematic & cosmic musical journey aboard the new Mayan Warrior Galaxyer; featuring tracks of mine which I wrote dreaming of playing them on this amazing creation, plus some old ones from 2001. Flying that spaceship was truly legendary. 

Eternal gratitude to the Mayan Warrior family (the entire crew and Amal, Pablo & Rodrigo), for having me be a part of the Galaxyer’s re-birth story, and all of you who were there on playa on this special night.”

¨A last set in a first time Burn, closing a full circle in the Mayan and Maxa link up, playing between a Sandstorm and the ashes of the Temple, where not only me, but many of us left tears, hugs and memories on its walls to be taken by the fire. 

Sharing this moment with @madmotormiquel, a musician and person that I am so lucky to call a friend, with whom I feel the trust to musically go anywhere, and some of our closest and dearest friends as a last dance was beyond special. 

Mayan family, thank you for your trust in us to guide a musical journey in this delicate and emotional moment, and for the best closure we could wish for.¨

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.
