This was my 9th time at the helm for the Man Burn—a tradition I’ve carried every year since my very first burn. To be honest, I was completely exhausted—emotionally, physically, and mentally. As it always does, the music and the people brought me back to life. And in that sea of feelings, I poured everything the burn had taught me into this set.

This year, I chose to play pieces from every era of my journey as a DJ. It felt right to share nostalgic, meaningful songs that aligned with the theme Tomorrow Today. Tracks about time, love, and connection—songs meant to create a living memory for all of us gathered in that sacred evening.

The mix was fully improvised, guided only by what the moment whispered for me to play. I can only hope it became something we will all carry within us—a reminder etched in rhythm and dust.

I love you all. ❤️

Sen Sanik @ EDEN Art Car - Man Burn - Burning Man 2025

One of my favorite nights and sets of the year was playing on the Maxa Art Car! The energy from everyone there was absolutely euphoric.

Magic people + magic art car = magical moments. Thank you to everyone who danced with me that night—for your energy and your love. It means the world to me, and I hope that same energy can be felt while listening to this set.

Love, Julia

Burning Man 2025 Set @ Serendipitea Camp 3:30B

Performing a sunrise set at Maxa holds a truly special meaning for me and has become a cherished tradition over the years. The delicate yet powerful deer symbolizes something deeply personal, and sharing my music not only with the audience but also with incredible acrobatic dancers made the experience even more meaningful. It was an epic moment—one of my favorite mornings at that year's Burn. 🙏🏼

PABLoKEY 5hr JOURNEY

I haven't released a mix in almost a year so I figured it was time. These tracks have been a treat to find and play for people over that period, especially the few of them that I got to play in the rain at Burning Man this year on the Helibus (yes I went back to Burning Man....yes I liked it...). I happily played zero scheduled gigs this year but I had an absolute blast playing here and there on the Helibus when the opportunity presented itself between raindrops. 

If you don't know about the Helibus and their crew yet I hope you find them one day soon they are a magical group of individuals, brimming with unadulterated joy, positive energy and unfettered possibility.  They reminded me what Burning Man was about for me way back when I fell in love with it 25 years ago. 

This mix represents an imaginary set that I would have played on the Helibus for friends new and old if I had been able to stay for the nice weather in the second half of the week - and if I had a 1.5 hour long slot in the middle of the night to bang it out while parked by a dope piece of art!

Make sure you follow @nate-mott (a.k.a. BANG3RZ) and Ron Levy @idiot-savant (a.k.a DJ Goetz Achwurd) who were my partners in crime on the playa this year. Ron was kind enough to master this mix for me in his Reno studio. 

"Yo! My boy BANG3RZ plays nothing but Bangers!!!! Can we jump on? You got any open slots?" - DJ Schitz Poppinoff, Burning Man 2025.

Mixed live with love for you to enjoy in Truckee, CA.
