LP Giobbi - Sunrise At Titanic's End - Burning Man 2023

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

Your first year attending Burning Man your experience is otherworldly.  You don't know up from down and you are mystified by the sheer scale, beauty and magic that only this gathering encapsulates.  It’s these feelings that you relive only in your dreams, until the next year comes around. Each year you return new wisdoms are gained, greater accomplishments fulfilled and you begin to understand more and more what you are capable of giving and receiving in this world.  Our time playing Pink Mammoth will live in our hearts as the greatest gift we both gave and received from this year’s playa experience.  We hope you enjoy it!  

Love,

Upcoming Events

Peace in Noise - Pink Mammoth - Burning Man 2015

5:00 am - Thursday Morning - Burning Man 2016
@dersurhodes: As Gracie pulled out onto 9:00 and crept slowly towards the esplanade, the art car felt like a creeping ship headed deep into space. People stood huddled together, their faces hidden behind scarves and hoods and the mood felt a bit dark. I had found a track of monks chanting and layering that with Lies by @taleofus felt fitting. Recordings from the first successful moon landing echoed across the quiet camps and as we pushed onto the esplanade we "touched down" on the moon. 

6:00 am - First Light
Dersu: As the first streaks of dawn painted the distant sky, I started to play more hopeful music. I saw people on the top deck had started to dance and I wanted to match their energy, bathing the darkness in light while keeping it sensitive and thoughtful. 

6:30 am - Catacomb Burn
Dersu: As the first fingers of fire crept up the sides of the Catacombs the energy became excited and triumphant, I played Nana in a celebration of the morning.
Kenny: The morning became more and more beautiful as the colors filled the mountains and playa. I played Lane 8 as we drifted deeper into the desert. 
Dersu: I pretty much had tears in my eyes through this whole end of the set. I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this scene was. Everyone looked so beautiful, alive and present.

7:00 am 
Kenny: The energy on the art car as the sun warmed the playa was incredible. The smiles were contagious and I knew I wanted to finish the set with a track to let us loose into the day. We ended with "Learning to Fly" Flash Atkins Mix and both found our way onto the ground to dance with everyone. The mountains were bathed in an almost fluorescent gold and the sky was deep blue. 
Dersu: I'm not sure my heart could have been more full after this set. This was one of the most amazing mornings of my life.

Return To Dust - Road to Burning Man 2017

"A special energy in the air exists on the Saturday of Burning Man.  The city has reached its peak attendance and there is a palpable buzz of human vibration throughout the great city.  A place where this buzz is often strongest is at the glorious Pink Mammoth camp.  It was an honor to play in the early afternoon and watch the dance floor fill up with smiling faces.

Peace In Noise - Pink Mammoth - Burning Man 2017

This is our opening set recorded live at March's NightCause party at Townhouse in Venice, Los Angeles. Special shout out to @enzomuro for headlining the party and raising $1,450 for Algalita Marine Research! 

NightCause (www.facebook.com/nightcauseLA) is a non profit party happening the first Thursday of every month where 100% of the proceeds are donated to a cause of the headlining DJ's choice. Come dance for a cause!

PEACE IN NOISE - LIVE @ NIGHTCAUSE - 3.1.18

"I was the first set of the day at one of my favorite places in the world, Pink Mammoth on a Saturday in Black Rock City.

Throughout the week I had found myself searching for ways to top past years which left me chasing expectations and this set seemed to be another illustration of this idea. Previous years my friend Kenny and I had played Pink Mammoth to a packed dance floor as https://soundcloud.com/peaceinnoise, but this year he wasn't there, and neither was a big crowd. At first, I was disappointed, craving that energy, but as I closed my eyes and focused on the music, I felt a smile form on my face. It didn't matter how many people were with me on this morning, and even if there was one person in their tent grooving as they woke, that wasn't any less important.  

Thank you #burningman for not giving me what I asked for and instead what I needed. Than you Zach, Tim Green and the Pink Mammoth sound guy for your warm greeting and giving me the opportunity to be a be a small part of your camp this year.

Thank you also to anyone who rode by smiling and grooving on your bike, and the group of new friends who ended up joining me on the dance floor."

Love,

Dersu - Pink Mammoth - Burning Man 2018

Today we welcome a true storyteller behind the Schirmchendrink counter: DERSU honors Schirmchendrink with his sensational cocktail named “Between the Sheets”!

It was many months back when we got in contact and first listened one of DERSU’s sets. This one was called Africa. As fans of beautifully crafted DJ mixes it was clear that we wanted him on the show.  

DERSU is a creative mastermind telling stories trough film, animation, design, and music. His career led him from sports apparel design to art, film and music. He discovered his passion for the latter as creator of Witness This, an art and culture magazine. 

His most recent projects include NightCause, a monthly dance party on the West side of L.A. where 100% of the proceeds are donated to charity, and, Wish You Were Here, a daytime party series in Venice Beach. He also is one half of the duo Peace in Noise.

Between the Sheets covers many emotions and moods, it's deep and taps into a more industrial and minimal berlin sound, with touches of spiritual and also very heart filling anthems near the end. 

You can literally tap into the emotions as it’s reflecting DERSU’s personal journey as of lately: challenging, scary, dark while also being incredibly beautiful, expansive and light. 

Thanks for sharing your story with us, DERSU, we feel you and completely love it.


Cheers!
The bartenders

Many young people are fed up with the way we have treated the earth and they are asking for us to change. I want to do everything I can to make their voices heard and to evolve the way we live. 

This set is meant to be a reflection of our times, sometimes dark and uncomfortable and at other times melodic and hopeful. I hope it sparks some kind of emotion, igniting something inside of you. with love, @dersurhodes

DERSU - Change

My dear friends have a special piece of land in Ojai called Campo Vista. The property looks out over a lush valley bursting with fruit trees. This is the first of a series of sets that seem to speak to the land and the experience of spending time there. I hope this helps you both connect and get lost.

With light and love,

Dersu @dersurhodes for instagram.com/campovista

DERSU - CAMPO VISTA SUN SETS - 01

A set by @dersurhodes recorded at Campo Vista.
Each set I play at Campo Vista feels charged with creative, explorative energy and I love having the opportunity to play such a wide range of music that sparks so many different moods and feelings. I truly hope you enjoy and are not offended by the spatterings of harmonica splashed through the set. 

love, 

Dersu

DERSU - CAMPO VISTA SUN SETS - 02

A set mixed with love by @dersurhodes, spattered with harmonica and synthesizer.

This year has been a sobering ride; it started with so much joy and adventure and then suddenly turned scary, strange, and unknown. This set follows our collective journey: dark, light, hectic, still, expressive, and reflective. 
What seems to be the most evident to me is that we are all connected, and to think that the sickness our planet was experiencing wouldn't affect us is naive. This is a time for her to heal and for us to go inward. To stop doing so much, and instead to listen.

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.
