Live @ Desert Hearts - Nikita vs. Patrick Gil - 022

We first heard Nikita & Patrick Gil play back to back at our Burning Man camp, The Pile Palace in 2014. We knew these guys were special but we had no idea they were about to play one of the best sets of the week. Something about their energy is just so infectious and coupled with the ultra eclectic, high energy music they play it just makes you want to groove!

Live @ Desert Hearts - Nikita & Patrick Gil - 022

Making my return to the Playa for the sixth time held special meaning for me as it does every year. However I see Burning Man like lovers. You can't compare them, they're uniquely different experiences. And just like the complexity of lovers, my Burn was magical, beautiful, intense, emotional, intoxicating, lustful, serendipitous, mesmerizing, and yes, sometimes just a pain in the ass.

Still, after all these years, it's my favorite thing on the planet! Playing on the bus is beyond an honor. Sharing my music and reciprocating energy from that perspective with the open canvas and unparalleled conditions is an indescribable feeling. What I'm trying to say is, it all comes from the Heart. 

Hope you enjoy!

art: Soup Flavored Blankets 

Soup Flavored Blankets creates a welcoming and interactive space dedicated to the chilly, wandering souls of deep playa. Within the walls of our cracker box, participants will experience a rag tag team of Burners providing delectable hot soups, steaming libations and cozy blankets equipped with a convenient soup/beverage pouch. Playa wanderlust exists within all of us and Soup Flavored Blankets is your rejuvenation station along the way.
We're a multifarious crew of friends from Los Angeles, Reno, Chicago and New York who share a passion for soup and service. The SFB story stems from a brief moment many, many years ago, far beyond Black Rock City's Esplanade, on a frigid deep playa evening. There, gazing at the brothtaking sky and discussing the soupernatural, sat our founder, Noodles and his brother, Max. Although initially vibrant and jovial, their topic of discussion soon shifted to the bitter cold air and a desire for simple pleasures.

"I could sure go for a blanket right now. You know, warm me up from the outside in." Max remarked as he shivered in the deepest of deep playa.

"I could go for a bowl of soup to warm me up from the inside out!" Noodles replied.
Now what followed may be the worst idea ever uttered as Max suggested: "How about a bowl of blanket flavored soup?"
In a harsh tone, Noodles replied: "That's sounds disgusting! Who want's to eat soup that tastes like blankets!?"
Hours passed and their situation worsened. But suddenly, a dusty thought shot out of the Man's neon head, blew across the playa, swirled around the temple walls and shot directly into Noodles's noggin as an idea of spectacular brilliance.
"Some Soup Flavored Blankets, now that would be warmly delicious!" He proclaimed.
Max agreed! And the two brothers jumped to their feet, crossed the cold desert floor and returned to camp to procrastinate for seven years.
As veteran burners we understand the significance of your trash fence quest and the sometimes difficult elements you encounter. Soup Flavored Blankets is a warm soupy refuge and our gift to the many wandering souls of Burning Man.

Select Cuts 132: LIVING

@RayZuniga, DJ, producer, Touch of Class label owner and Output resident joined forces with frequent collaborator and beloved Listed resident @DJNikita for magical evening of world-class house music in The Panther Room November 18 2018.

Ray Zuniga & NIKITA - Live from The Panther Room Nov 2018

It was the last sunrise on our beloved Playa, and the morning of Temple Burn. It was also the most beautiful, absolutely surreal transformation of our moon and sun, upon the coldest night of the Burn. The energy, vibe, and temperature, quickly elevated, provided a state of bliss thanks to our all-giving sun! All these elements, along with the citizens of Black Rock City, who lift our spirits, reminded and reassured us that we’re surrounded by pure LOVE! The incredible and unique ART continues to inspire us, igniting our inner light, liberating us from our fears, and encouraging us all to be living our best lives. 

 For us, it’s an absolute pleasure and honor to be a part of such an incredible art project, broadening people’s imaginations and inspiring others to dream BIG! Reminding us of our purpose to prove the testament that MUSIC really is the answer.

Ray Zuniga & NIKITA - Playground - Burning Man 2018

"Jazz is really about the human experience. It’s about the ability of human beings to take the worst of circumstances and struggles and turn it into something creative and constructive. That’s something that’s built into the fiber of every human being. And I think that’s why people can respond to it. They feel the freedom in it. And the attributes of jazz are also admirable. It’s about dialogue. It’s about sharing. And teamwork. It’s in the moment, and it's nonjudgmental."

_____________________________________________________________

This is about one of those friends that not only is a great dj, a true music lover, obsessed with photography and politics but always happen to be at a particular place in most of your life-changing sets and shares the same joy, goosebumps and transcends at every beat, bassline, every drop and every mix with you (#nofilter - haha). 

Clovis is one of those people, the type who would sit in a room with me for endless hours listening to a set and sharing that "bass face" of pain....

.....needless to say our music exchange goes beyond dance music. Clovis has been recording some jazz sets lately, ones I listen to all the time. With them and our musical exchange in mind, I asked him if he would record us one of those sets for the mix series and here we have it, the first of this series to step out of electronic sounds and bring us into more organic sounds. 

Thanks Clovis for this amazing set, tracklist and quote by Herbie.

EG.761 Nikita

Experience Ray Zuniga and Nikita’s trill, mystical live, opening set from The Cityfox Odyssey NYE/NYD 2019 party with this one hour and twenty-minute exclusive recording blend of deep house, techno, and a dash of disco.

Colorado-born, San-Francisco established DJ extraordinaire, NIKITA grew up as a natural entertainer. For over 16 years, he established and expanded his talents as a dynamic, versatile selector, changing and evolving the West Coast Deep House scene. Globally-established DJ, Ray Zuniga is one half label owner at Touch of Class records and one half of duo SignalFlow, as well as an internationally recognized curator and performer of accessible, yet spontaneous sounds.

After taking in their individual audible delights, it’s no wonder their shared penchant for suspending time with sophisticated, rhythmic electronic voyages have brought them together. In addition to playing together, they also produce an international music event called LIVING.us and since both have been spending time in New York creating a community who crave their contrasting fantastically blended sets, we can’t wait to see what comes from the pair next. Listen to and share this live set from Ray Zuniga and Nikita on repeat.
