Art Department (Kenny Glasgow) from the Robot Heart ResIIdency at the Loom in Oakland CA, 2024

On May 10th, we had arranged something truly special: a rare reunion from Art Department, Jonny and Kenny back under the original banner. The day before the show, though, we got word that Jonny tested positive for COVID and would not be able to make it. To make matters worse, Kenny showed up feeling off himself—stomach problems, not doing great. For a moment, we were not sure whether the set would happen at all.

Then, after a quick pep talk (and maybe a little Johnnie Walker), Kenny decided to push through. He played the entire set from just one side of the DJ setup, leaving the other deck silent, like he was holding space for Jonny. Mid-set he passed us his phone to grab some content; somewhere between shots we pulled a South Park moment and killed Kenny’s phone, leaving him to play on, clock-free and carried by the night’s energy.

With no idea what time it was, Kenny kept the dance floor alive well past closing. It was one of the most memorable sets of the season—raw, alive, and full of heart. Kenny played for both of them, and everyone there felt it. Nights like that are why we do this. For the music, the people, and the magic you could never script.

Sunrise Sunset 12 - Damian Lazarus

Wednesday morning was something else. DJ Tennis curated a full day of back-to-back sets on the Robot Heart bus, calling it Tennis Doubles. The highlight was the sunrise set with Simon, aka Bonobo. It was Simon’s first Burn and the rest is history. 🎾🌞❤️

In DJ Tennis’ words, “Robot Heart is family. When they asked me to curate the Wednesday lineup, I knew I had to bring Simon for his first Burn. That sunrise was pure magic playing side by side with an artist I deeply admire, as the desert came alive, felt like it was always meant to be. After more than a decade here, the Burn still takes my breath away like no other place.”

Lazpod 22 - Burning Man Special Edition

As the first release from Burning Man 2025, we’re honored to share a set that carries a different kind of Playa energy - one made for a night like Burn Night. Bilal blessed us with a set rich in soul and grit, channeling the roots of house from Detroit, Chicago, and New York - the very foundation that shaped the dance floor. 🕺🏽✨

In Bilal’s own words:

this was burn #11 for me. and you'd think you know what to expect by now. but NOPE! this place really knows how to throw a curveball at all of us... but seeing people bounce back and knock that curveball out of the park is more amazing to see. 

i really didnt know what to expect on Man Burn Night, surrounded by all the different art cars and crowds. its basically like standing in the TV section at Best Buy with every channel blaring at once. 

anyway, this mix is the result of the environment at the time. i had fun sharing this music and i hope you do too. 

BIG LOVE & GRATITUDE TO THE ENTIRE ROBOT HEART CREW FOR ALL THE MAGIC YOU POUR INTO THIS, YEAR AFTER YEAR!

As the final sunrise broke over the desert, Gadi aka Baby Prince guided us through the full spectrum: unfiltered, wild, and everything in between. 
🔥💋🔥

In his own words… 

Time marches on… Sometime around 2007, Geo told me they were building something massive, the likes of which the playa had never seen. That summer, we were among a handful of artists who played that very first year on Robot Heart. We dropped Sade and Prince, played for hours, and from that moment on, there was no looking back. The Wolf + Lamb sound was reborn that morning.

This set was my first time playing back in the bus in over a decade, and what a thrill it was to close the burn with my crew and the Robot Heart fam. Massive love and thanks for the support, boys and girls. What a ride!
