Thank you for this mix... Ahhh

In anticipation of the Scumfrog's 'Collection 2021', released at the end of October, here is the recording of his return to DJing. Recorded in front of a packed dance floor in NYC on September 16th. 

After lockdowns, quarantines, isolations and live streams, The Scumfrog returned to the decks in front of a real crowd for an extended set at the venue where he started MBTS 6 years earlier. For once, he managed to press 'record' on his recorder before he started. Enjoy more than 3 hours of dancing to The Scumfrog's interpretation of post-pandemic boogie.

Extended set in NYC. September 16th 2021

Here´s a recording of our b2b set with Esther Silex at the magical Sisyphos Beach. It was a short open air season for Berlin clubs. We squeezed it out at one of the last summer nights. The same day finally Berlin clubs were allowed to re-open their floors inside, after 18 months. It was a night to remember. Thanx for the wild love we got from everyone at Sisyphos.

I’ve had the pleasure and honor to play the bus three times now, however this time I decided to take a different musical direction. As the bus was getting ready to depart, I started the journey with experimental tribal, synth rhythms, then in true celebratory form I brought the house-y vibes to gear us up for what would be a truly magical night…

So many emotions and thoughts go through my head as I am writing this. It was an unplanned and unexpected play for me this past year. I heard the news only a few hours before, when my dear friends Gunita and Colin came to wake me up. Without a flinch I quickly got myself together while various groups of friends stopped by to rally after getting wind of the news. My dear friend Atousa styled me while I quickly prepared music with my muse, Bilaliwood, then we all set out to find the bus. We had a little trouble and couldn’t see any sign of the heart at first, but after some time we bumped into two lovebirds and asked if they knew where Robot Heart was. They replied, “Out there”, pointing to the deep Playa. At this point I realized I have a flat tire, so I pushed my bike back to Big Imagination where we were camped, and I started thinking to myself that I was going to fail and miss the whole thing. My beloved friend Simar found a fellow camp-member’s working bike, then he and Bilal decided to escort me.. Just as we’re about to head out, Bilal and I ask another couple where the bus is; they sadly replied, “They’re not doing it tonight” and pointed back to the Robot Heart camp. This is when I decided to let go and surrender to the Universe and let whatever is meant to be…be.

After a bit of struggle trying to find the bus, it turned out the bus was still parked and the heart just wasn’t lit yet. Nonetheless, Bilal, Simar and I dropped the bikes and walked over… Literally, right as we turn the corner of the bus, the heart LIGHTS UP! This is the moment when I “officially” met Gary! 

Shocking as it may be (and is to me), though I’ve known Swamy, Dill and Ben, well over a decade now, I had only briefly met Geo once. There were a lot of people surrounding Geo at the time, so I was never really properly introduced nor got the time to connect. I told this to Gary after walking up to the bus that night, but in the totality of our conversation throughout the night before/during and after my set, Gary and I covered so many life-topics and learned a great deal about each other. What transpired during that time was nothing short of beautiful. I got to know Geo through the energy of his brother Gary. We also learned that he and I technically met many years ago... Back in 2010, my second year on the Playa, I tagged with Lee Burridge and when we were done a massive dust storm developed and wiped us ALL out, literally. As I was telling Gary about that experience, he tells me that he was the one who was driving the bus that day and remembers it clearly. 

This was my 10th Year on the Playa and the true highlight for me was getting to know Gary on a deeper level, mixed with the fireworks going off simultaneously during our AH-MAZING conversation and at the perfect time during my set. It all seemed kismet and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. The fact is, the desert is my favorite place on the planet, and the pleasure and journey to play on the bus every year is something that I hold sacred and would do in a heartbeat. The Playa always provides... For me, this past year’s experience was a reminder to let go and always SURRENDER to the Universe! 

MEGALOVE to the whole Robot Heart crew and all of YOU for making this and every year such a wonderful and otherworldly experience!

Nikita - Robot Heart - Free Burn 2021

Sometimes you're in a timeless mood, when you just want a great chuggy underground groove that doesn't end. This mix is for such a mood. No big drops, no songs, no epic synths...just the rhythm and some rhythmic sprinkles. Cannot wait to play a set like this soon for you in my own Brooklyn. You know... in a small dark room with a four point sound system.

Timeless groove for a small dark room with a four point sound system

After the last few years many of us are finally taking the trips we need, both outer and inner.. Whether your trip takes you back home or far away from it... here's a little soundtrack for the journey.  I hope you rediscover the hope you need and maybe even help someone else find the hope they lost along the way.

It has been quite some time since the last time we gathered for a night of MBTS. I wanted to take some time after the pandemic to be quiet and see how the dance music scene would evolve, and what sounds would come out of the standstill that was Covid. Now that I have a good sense of where I want to be sonically, and what kind of energy I want to spread onto dance floors, I am ready to restart MBTS in 2023. Stay tuned for more info, and enjoy this preview of what's to come.

Much love, 
The Scumfrog

M.B.T.S. (Most Below The Surface) 2023

I was saving some of these jams for months, waiting for the right moment to send our hearts, bodies and souls into a wild frenzy as we once again journeyed on the road to Black Rock City. With the feeling of an expansive and dusty sunrise always in my mind, I was warming up the main room at Great Northern in San Francisco and it took no time at all for the space to pack in with fellow wanderers, dreamers and playa people who were ready to give in to the waves of sonic bliss. 

As we dive into the deep end together with our hearts open, just imagine that I’m right there along side you dancing my dusty boots off to the bitter end. First on the floor, last to leave. I’m looking forward to seeing you all on desert dance floor and beyond in 2023.

Vitamindevo - DISTRIKT SOUND - The Great Northern - June 2023

The music in this mix represents what I like to listen to when hanging out with just a few friends after a long night out. Sounds that I prefer as a soundtrack to my mindless spaced-out conversations on a couch rather than tracks designed to work a crowd on a dance floor...loopy, spacey, trippy, stripped, strangely structured, quirky, and subdued.

I was actually glad that my friends at Electronic Groove (@egroove) asked me to do an afterhours-specific mix rather than a regular anything-goes mix. My last few mixes left me feeling like I was getting a little too "comfortable." I started getting self-conscious that I was getting predictable on both the types of songs I would choose and the way I would mix them together. I started getting bored of myself. That being said, I found this mix to be satisfying to put together. Hope you dig.

Also, since these mix posts tend to reach a wide audience, I'd like to use this platform to show my solidarity as a straight ally with the LGBTQ community, especially to those who feel isolated or alone right now. At a personal level, all shootings are terrible, but this Orlando massacre has emotionally hit me the hardest in the last few years.

I've been told that the best immediate ways to show support right now are by:
 - Giving blood, if you're straight. Gay men are not allowed to give blood
 - Donating to this gofundme to support victims in the shooting: https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund
 - Showing your own support/solidarity with the LGBTQ community
 
...so please do any of these if you can.

We had the pleasure of having Blond:ish https://soundcloud.com/blondish/ close out Ladies Night at Burning Man this year as they did for us back in 2015. These ladies really know how to get into the vibe and make it as fun as possible. Regularly releasing on Kompact Records as well as running their own label ABRACADABRA Records keeps them busy while they tour all over the world. These ladies really know how to dust it up in the desert so we hope you enjoy this mix as much as we do.

Blond:ish - Live at Disco Knights 2017 - Saturday Morning

Sonic love travels in many dimensions – through visceral pathways of the senses, as a uniting force on dance floors everywhere, in movements spanning entire eras to unify – whether souls, states or nations. And as sonic love relates to house music, Marques Wyatt is a seminal pioneer.

There are few words that can describe the high vibrations that this man and his music bring via the channel that we call Pink Mammoth in the desert (and beyond). Saturday night rings in a final sonic journey before we all adventure out to celebrate in a grand “Burning Man” style finale and he delivers the perfect set before we blast off. 

We are excited to have Marques joining us once again this Saturday at our 14 year anniversary party in Los Angeles. Tickets and Info: https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1067948
