"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."

Kawas - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2022

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."

"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 was our first Burning Man experience, first b2b together and our very first MW. 
We were waiting for this moment for a very long time and we were preparing for it for months to make it that much more special. Such a big honor to enter the dusty world just like that, playing a set on top of a bus that brings light and love of music to so many souls from around the world and all walks of life. These memories are going to stick with us for ever. Much love,
Sean & Yulia"

"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!

Happy New Year Babylon Family...

We are closing this year with a very special release. Dive into the recorded set by none other than Audiofly at The Seekers of Light Showcase during Amsterdam Dance Event '22.

Only a few weeks after this magical performance, the legendary and beloved duo announced that after years together they would explore the world in a more solitary way. After decades on a musical journey it was big news to us, but also very inspiring as it in no way means the end for this duo. 

Audiofly has been close to us from the very beginning of the Babylon story. We joined forces for our fifth Babylon show ever and have been working closely together since. The love we feel for these two together or a part is hard to put in words. Both are as close as family. 

Enjoy a beautiful musical ride and the most fitting release to capture the closing of another cycle. Let's find inspiration in their new path and welcome change where needed. The new year comes with new opportunities and new roads to explore.

We wish you all a beautiful change of the year and we hope to reunited again soon! Share the love for the boys in the comments below and stay in touch via:

What a start of the year, what a production, and what a crew! Big shout out to the team for their incredible work and for choosing the theme of AI. Having the first set of 2023, we created a special intro and countdown with text and voice made through an AI.
You can now relive the first 3 hours of music of 2023!

Parallelle - Labryinto - NYE 2023

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.
