I was there with you. So sad and so wonderful to have finally been able to act as a child to the Pied Piper.

This set is Great! Listening second time!! Again🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

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.

Hello friends! Here is the recording of my very first set at Stereo Montréal

A place that truly feels like (((home))) 

A room that means so much to many of us and that sparks wonders for those who haven't been yet. A space where we can be free, all together. A spaceship that uses vibrations to bend space and time. A temple where music becomes alive.

It was an honour to have the chance to play in this room for 11 hours to the most amazing group of humans. It's been a dream of mine for so many years to have the chance to play there and it's one of most meaningful moments I ever lived. Stars were aligned, the collective energy was truly beautiful and I am happy to be able to share with you the soundtrack of that night. 

Thanks to all the @stereonightclub team for the incredible work to co-create such a sacred space for music. 

A special thanks to Luc for the cosmic visuals during the night.

And thanks to all of you family and friends who joined the journey.

This is Part One, between 00:00 and 06:08 am.

With love,

Mikael

Thanks to a beautiful twist in time, we welcomed Unders to close The Seekers of Light ADE '22 showcase on the Saturday Day Event. This closing slot was initially meant for Viken Arman, but as it happen our Viken missed his plane. The upside of hosting events during ADE is that you likely find a replacement that you love and adore.

IN COMES UNDERS! He was on his way out after successfully hosting his own showcase on Thursday, but lucky us we managed to snatch him before he left.

A magnificent set followed! The element of surprise in this last minute performance carried out throughout his performance and he managed to take us on the perfect journey.

Perhaps his best performance in our Babylon up to this date.. What do you think?

Show us love in the comments and we send it right back to ya!
Love,

The Gardens of Babylon

“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 ”

"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"

"Five years ago, I experienced the extreme joy of dancing in front of Mayan Warrior for the first time. My mind was blown with this incredible work of art, the interactivity of the design, the lights, the lasers, and the mind bending, soul enriching musical journey. I'm so honored that this year I got to play a live set on this incredible vehicle of dreams, on its tenth anniversary at Burning Man, in the company of all these incredible artists, technicians, musicians and DJs.

And the moment... it was sublime... after days of harsh dust storms, the air calmed just as I got aboard with our captain Pablo who drove us into the playa as I started playing the keys and watching the beautiful people on their bicycles following! At a certain point I left my body to take a look around this breathtaking scene of the playa, the mountains, the people, the sound... I felt such a wave of joy, inspiration and gratitude for life.

A heartfelt thank you to Rodrigo, Pablo and Amal for having me share in your magic, to the warm brilliant people of Mayan Warrior and to the beautiful people who danced as I played!"

"It’s 2022. We are back on playa after the pandemic break. With us, Mayan Warrior in its natural habitat. 
 
We ride out in the middle of a dust storm, along with my chosen 100 tracks. The selection is inspired by what Mayan Warrior means to me. It represents the fusion between contemporary art and tradition. Crazy lasers over the handcrafted god’s eye. Unmatched sound coming from a millenary Mayan figure. A representation of what makes Mexico such a special place.

It’s a mix of old tracks I love and unreleased music from some of my favorite artists. A lot of it from Mexican artists and labels. As I am about to start, I see dozens of bikes powering through the storm. I trash my original plan on song 2 as I try to capture the moment. Eventually, a beautiful sunset emerges. This is my set on top of the Mayan Warrior.

I hope you like it. Thank you to everyone that came out to ride with me. And THANK YOU Mayan team. Thank you for the insane amount of work put in this beautiful piece of art roaming the desert. For the years of inspiration and incredible music."

A fantastic start to 2023. Dreamscape / Crania chapeau! Location, production, and all the fun anomalies made this night memorable and the recording fire. Taking over from DJ Harvey made me kick off the set light and tropical before I found a clear direction on where to take things. Shout out to @dramian for closing it so tastefully, and much love to everyone for the overwhelming feedback this weekend.

Grateful I get to play these beautiful pieces. Many unreleased, so high fives to all the studio nerds out there i admire. 

Be sure to share with friends ..

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.
