BUNSEN BURNER @ Famtastic | Spring '22 (midnight 5/29)

Hello again! This big for me, this the first studio mix I’ve released in (checks notes)… THREE YEARS. Wow. But here I am already burring the lead. This is big for me because the FIRST TWO TRACKS on this DJ mix are my ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS, from my forthcoming, debut EP “Cptn Jay - Loves You”.

How about THAT!? OOOOOMG! But more on that in moment.

We’ve all, ALL OF US IN THE WORLD, have been dealing with three years of extreme stress and trauma. That’s unbelievable, an 8 billion person shared experience. I was lucky, I could burry myself in my studio, and only tangibly sacrifice social engagements, hugs, and connecting with people on dance floors. This doesn’t, however, mean it was “easy”. It hans’t been “easy” for any of us.

As things open up again and we all struggle to reintegrate I do feel that we’re lacking any kind of group acknowledgement around how terrible the last few years have been, and have been suffering from a collective lack of grief, healing, and closure. I chose the voice sample for the intro of this set (it is not in the original track) to help us recognize that we, all humanity collectively all over the world, have gone though a massive shared trauma and hopefully we can understand that when assessing the state of the world and how we’re treating each other. 

I started working on Rings of Venus early in the pandemic, we’re talking pre-Delta, when I had NO IDEA what I was doing or how I could get these weird sounds from the modular to “make a track”. Now, listening back to it, it really really captures my emotional and mental state from that time, almost like a musical journal. Reserved, experimental yet innocent, melancholy but ultimately positive. I never thought about any of those things while making the track, it’s amazing to me that I can hear them in there now.

Speaking hearing things, enough babbling and on to the NEW MUSIC!! Mine and all of these other amazing artists. The rest of the tracks are all my very favorites from the last three years, good vibes music to help lift our collective spirits.

If you’re read this far I’d really appreciate hearing back from you about how this makes you feel, if it resonates with you; the emotions and/or the music. And if it feel right, please like, share and tag some people who you think would enjoy this too! It would mean a lot to me. Let’s share positivity and good vibes in these hard times <3

In preparing for Sun Worship, Citrus Age drops his set from the March '23 Reflect party at the High Dive. It's deep, somewhat tech-y, and a total ride. Get in, we're going places!

Simon Shackleton B2B The Scumfrog Live from Double Down at Mighty SF 3/28/15.

We'd been waiting for this one since NYE when an impromptu tag set happened between these two and we knew it was fate at it's finest hour.  We got the boys together and the result was incredible, a 4 hour B2B set with The Scumfrog also providing some live drums to compliment the set had Mighty in a frenzy of dance.  We are certainly looking forward to doing this again!

Simon Shackleton Vs The Scumfrog Live From Double Down

Introducing: GOLDEN RATIO.  This is the enigmatic audio magic that happens when 'Dulce Vita' comes into musical collaboration with 'Exoendo', on stage and behind the decks. 

This debut mix is based on a DJ duo performance at Burning Man 2016, serving up a refreshingly vast array of emotional tech house, deep house, and tribal house - filling the listener with all the satisfying spaciousness of proper sound that one could really hope for.  Slightly dark but with loads of groove, this sacred offering is our spiritual sound of a new era. 

Take a listen - but first get grounded, sink into your roots and connect down into the earth. You might need the anchor... GOLDEN RATIO will guide your first dance to the moon.

Quirky sounds and happy vibrations is the name of the game when it comes to our youngest resident Matt Trujillo. As nephew of camp director and community builder Joe Trujillo, Matt has been a focal point of our Burning Man operations for a long long time. This year at camp he started the week off strong with his joyful Monday set and we are proud to debut it as our special holiday edition.

Marques Wyatt - Lightning In A Bottle 2019 X When We Dip

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...
