Recorded Live @OpulentTemple Burning Man 2022 Tuesday night "A Live Dream" 2am Infected Mushroom closing set. I have had played before and after several times after incredible, insane #infectedmushroom and this one for sure was one of the highest energy I have experienced through out my careeer as a DJ. Keeping that energy is not always easy. Have a listen, let me know what you think.. 

Opulent Temple Fam, you all are amazing. Thank you so much for the great opportunity. I can't wait to give more of my music and dedicated hard work for the cause. You all thought me a lot and I will be always grateful for that. 

This years burn was my 10 th year. It was one of the best ones ever. But hey, next year will be even better. 

Photo credit to my good friend @artimus-prime. Thank you brother. I can't wait to play a B2B set with you. 

Love you all and enjoy my set!

Recorded Live @OpulentTemple Burning Man 2022 Tuesday night "A  Live Dream" 2am

Live at Opulent Temple, Wednesday Night - Burning Man 2022 - Sacred Dance ('the white party')

It's our flagship event we've done on playa since the first OT in 2003. It's the night that most encapsulates our Vision and intentions to be a mass joy generator. I picked this slot, going on before Carl Cox, to have the latitude of the early start to start deep and ramp up the energy, before bringing it down a bit for Carl to take over. That means restraint and flow, with emotion moments getting pulled back into groove and steady beauty.

As always, it was a magic night and I thank you if you were there dancing with us!

Syd Gris, Live at Opulent Temple, Burning Man 2022 - Sacred Dance

We cruised to the trash fence for a Tuesday morning sunrise cruise on the @dusty-rhino-1 - a blissful adventure to watch the sun peak over the mountains in the Black Rock desert (and play music to the Burning Man marathon runners, lol)with a gathering of some of my favorite people.

Playing sunrise on an art car is always one of the most unique experiences I think you can create on playa – this was an absolutely surreal morning & I am so grateful. 

Hope you enjoy this set as much as I did playing it (and reliving it over and over in my head). 

*re-recorded @ home bc I suck at recording my sets on playa :)

Torie - Tues. Sunrise on Dusty Rhino @ Trash Fence | Burning Man 2022

2022 was the best Burn yet for me. One of the highlights was playing in the infamous O-Pod for Opulent Temple. I have spun for Opulent Chill a number of times, but this was my first time on the main stage and it was incredible! The killer visuals, amazing flame effects, the hot dusty night and my burner family dancing to my beats will forever be etched in my memory. Here is the recording of this memorable event… envision yourself out on the playa dancing with us and enjoy!

Opulent Temple at Burning Man 2022

After four years Opulent Temple was back on the playa at Burning Man. Recorded Wednesday night 3:30am

Vinkalmann Live at the Opulent Temple Burning Man 2022

This a set recreated from what I played at Opulent Temple, Wednesday Night @ 2:30AM - Burning Man 2022 - Sacred Dance ('the white party'). These are the tracks in the order that I played them and mixed far better than how I mixed them live.  Yep, no shame here.  I came on after John Summit played a roaring 2 hour prime time set. I was told "it met the moment", given that Carl Cox and John Summit played back to back before I stepped on. 

Expect big rolling psy infuenced bassline production. Some soulful infused lyrics and melodic chord progressions throughout.

1. From The Dust (Original Mix) - Phunk Investigation
2. Alley Rave (Original Mix) - Andrea Oliva
3. Back In The Race (Original Mix) - Umek, Beltek

BRIAN PEEK - 2022 BM WHITE PARTY @ OPULENT TEMPLE

Richard Mixon on Saturday night was pandemonium! The OT resident sets the dancefloor free with an hour of groove on burn night. Touches of his signature sounds of disco house throughout this otherwise banging, edgy mix will bring you right back into the dusty arena of fire.

Just B understands the assignment.  Dropping big tunes perfect for a fire breathing DJ booth yet keeping it seductive with occasional sultry lyrics. Bearing in mind the year's theme, you'll hear samples like Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" or Biggie's line "It was all a dream".  A very cool tech house assortment for your eardrums.

Opulent Temple Podcast #151 - Elsa - Live at Burning Man 2022

For the unexposed, the Opulent Temple started as a Large Scale Art & Music theme camp at the annual Burning Man arts festival that takes place in the Black Rock desert of Nevada the week before Labor Day. We throw nightly parties showcasing underground, world class electronic dance music in a setting of art and creation we've made ourselves. Our community and fund raising events are based in San Francisco, and though our production is associated with the BM event, you can find us in many settings wherever there's fun to be had.

The Vision of the Opulent Temple is to gift a space for sacred dance to world class dance music. It is our intention to create the space for peak experience, community development, and inspiration that serves as a road map for what's possible in the so called 'default world.' The effort is self generated by the tribe, ie., no one gets paid to create our production. On the contrary, key members put a lot of their own time, effort, and sometimes money all year around to bring it back every year.

It's not just about partying.

It is our view that social change will not happen without individuals doing their part to elevate our collective spiritual center of gravity. Thus, it is our responsibility to nudge our own evolution to catch up with the outpaced growth of technology without the soul getting left behind. It's within this community of creative seekers that coalesces around the playa tribes that leaders must emerge to help steer this nation and this world towards a better day.

To create a space for Sacred Dance is to create a playground for connection with the Eternal, but in our case, still infused with the need for social action in the real world. Big beats and community are the launching point for insight to remind us there is a point to evolution. Transcendence, and nothing less. It might sound like hippy New Age shit, but in this case that doesn't mean it isn't true...

The Musical Vision
We're obviously firm believers in the beat, the transcending properties of mind blowing electronic dance music (EDM), both to open the heart and make the ass shake depending on one's preference and the moment. We value diversity in the range of world class artists that play our camp, as well as the camp dj's who build it so get to play what they feel. Most nights are fairly cohesive unto themselves, but day to day it can be all over the place. Our past line ups speak for themselves.

We'll see you in the sweet spot, under the stars...
