Nico Stojan @ Bachstelzen Garbicz Festival 2013

Acid Pauli closed out an historical Saturday night which saw the first live music to emanate from New York City’s iconic Wollman Rink in 43 years with a masterful performance . 

His set celebrates the moment, the musical history at the venue, and transported all of those in attendance from the streets of New York, to Berlin, to Burning Man, and beyond. 

Walking out of Central Park at the close of his set on top of the Robot Heart Bus, the energy still high, the group encountered another art car with a party starting in the street at 59th and 5th Ave. Heard wafting through the crowd, the sentiment of “are we even in New York?” seemed unanimous. 

We hope you enjoy the set, and these beautiful memories. As Acid Pauli reiterates, "the music speaks for itself".

Another year, another pilgrimage to Garbicz. But this time was an extra special one. Just an hour before our set the sky burst open and it started pouring nonstop. Yet given all the chaos, the confusion and the mud deep deep in the forest we all just vibed, danced and frolicked together. The only thing that really mattered in the moment was music and music only. That is a feeling that will be engraved on our hearts forever. Much love to everyone there.

When the Temple burns, we bury a part of ourselves. 

We remember. We cry. We smile. And we move forward. 

A beautiful moment of eternity. Something intimate. Sometimes hard. Somehow sacred.

Playing on the Robot Heart bus after the Temple Burn has become an annual tradition for me.  It's a very special moment emotionally.  But this one was the toughest.  For many reasons...

But in the end, this closing opened the door to something bigger.

I am forever grateful for what happened afterward. Family for life. Unforgettable. All love.

Tocar para un grupo de gente tan refinada y gozadora todos en el medio del agave “from Sunset to Sunrise” (y más alllá…) 👌 Ya soñaba no más con ir y vivir toda la experiencia, pero que luego me toque uno de mis slots preferidos: En pleno crepúsculo, terminando de cenar y con las ganas de comenzar a bailar. Disfruté mucho tocar este set y espero lo vayan disfrutar mucho ustedes tambien , en los previos, en el carro, preparando una comida, haciendo el delicioso o como y donde sea.
Chequen mi SoundCloud y denle vueeeelta 🕺

Proud of this one and so happy to share it with you all. Playing on the main night, in the middle of the agave fields, all together embarking on a journey from “sunset to sunrise” and beyond… 👌
Had been dreaming of coming here and experiencing it first hand, but then got to play one of my favorite set times, at dusk with wonderful and diverse people finishing dinner and getting ready to dance the night away.
Play it anytime, anywhere, for warm-up, fixing a meal with friends, driving in the car, making “el delicioso” .

It was the last morning of the 2016 Burn and there was a small, but beautiful crowd of dedicated burners gathered, as most had already continued back to the outside world. We were feeling very spent, tired, dusty and freezing, but powered through the transition from night until dawn and once the sun broke through, it brought warmth to our bones and it turned into very special morning indeed...

Dear Listeners, 
It’s been overwhelming how many of you have written and asked for this year’s Fusion set.  One person even counted the weight of the tears he had shed every time he came here, and found the set was not online yet. So why did it take so long? 
 
It was a very intense four hour set at the Palapa, and it was a very intense week before that. To go back and revisit those moments required quite a bit of strength, which I didn’t have until now. Obviously the intensity of revisiting those moments at the Palapa had a lot to do with the death of our dear friend Bas Engels. 
You might think that I'm loco for saying this, but I know Bas was there with us, celebrating life and death, guiding me through the set and even creating some magic, when my computer froze and I had to restart it, while improvising on a drum machine. Normally the recording would be lost then, but this time it was just there as if nothing had happened. Without him you wouldn’t be able to listen to this now. 
I want to thank Bas for the special magic he created on so many occasions.  Also I want to thank Eule and his team for their foresight and faith to pull me slightly out of my comfort zone, and into this perfect Sunday morning setting. And, of course, I also want to thank all of you, because 
music sounds better with you.
 
Peace
