This one was soooooo damn fun. This is our set from Burning Man 2023 on Thursday night at Elementum's Midnight Safari party.

Dersu started the set off playing alone and was then joined by Kenny. It had been five years since we played together at Burning Man as the duo Peace In Noise, and it was an incredibly special homecoming.

Thank you to the Elementum Family and everyone who came and danced with us. We couldn't think of a better crowd to play to.

With love, Dersu and Kenny (Peace In Noise)

DERSU & PEACE IN NOISE | MIDNIGHT SAFARI AT ELEMENTUM | BURNING MAN 2023

Peace in Noise is the Los Angeles DJ Duo @dersurhodes and @kennethpaltrow   Bookings: dersurhodes@gmail.com

Peace In Noise: The feeling one gets when they find that perfect place on the dance floor, nothing else exists but you and the sounds that surround you. This blissfully meditative state is Peace in Noise.

Their DJ dynamic is totally unique. Kenny is a powerful sorcerer whose musical spells infuse a slice of soul into good times party music in a way that begs you to feel. Dersu, a designer by trade, possesses the uncanny ability to convert visual design elements into conscientiously composed sonic spaces that you can all-but see. Peace in Noise sets celebrate Kenny and Dersu as individuals. However, the way they work as a combined unit merges their unique personalities and tastes into a unified audio aesthetic that no one else can replicate. There is a palpable, intimate brotherhood present in the music they mix together and it is such a pleasure to experience. Watching Kenny and Dersu, it’s obvious how much fun they have when they’re playing together, even when that fun manifests itself as tight calculated set. Fluent in the universal language of music, their rich flow always takes you on a journey, inviting full participation, whether you’re experiencing them on the dance floor or streaming a Peace in Noise set wherever you may be.


For the past five years, Peace in Noise have been bringing quality parties to the West Side of LA. They are the resident DJs of NightCause, a monthly party hosted at Townhouse in Venice. All the proceeds of NightCause are donated to a charity selected by the headlining DJ of the month. If you’re in town during the first Thursday of the month, NightCause is the dance party you won’t want to miss.
