Nico Stojan @ Bachstelzen Garbicz Festival 2013

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.

Nico Stojan @ Garbicz Festival 2023

Every visit to Modi Nochi is like entering a vortex. More than a venue, it’s a wonderland. A colorful container for connection, sound and shared joy. This is all made possible by Moshe, whose loving generosity and soulful outlook on life invites visitors to escape the noise of the matrix and show up as the best version of themselves.  

The custom built DJ booth is nestled into the heart of the lounge room, surrounded by cushions, couches, and lovely creatures. An ideal setting for me to feel comfortable and connected with the audience. It feels like home and invites me to explore the full range of my collection with confidence and flow. We celebrate you Moshe . Looking forward to the next time.

Through a sleepless tantrum of being lost in a place inside myself of wonder, mystery, and adrenaline; that was my state of mind a month before I realized I was actually going (last minute as always), as all my other priorities quickly seemed to dissolve and I focused purely on this set of music as a gift for my first burning man… performing this set which came together so suddenly and fluidly (rarely happens like that with me and took me back to more naive studio days) live with Robot Heart during the burning of the man shook me to the core with liberating inspiration and was such a unique and uplifting experience it feels like I almost betray the memory each time I try to explain it rashly. There really is nothing else in the world like the collective work ethic, art and communal push forward in Black Rock City during burning man. The coming together of people from all walks of life making art for the sake of art and sharing their crafts and visions openly empowering the strange and the fantastic into the norm and the very real. A phenomenon and celebration of human creativity and science throughout the extremities of nature and conservationism. None of these experiences or music would have come to fruition were it not for the patience and guidance of my close friends Gunita, Nikita, and Benjamin. Also, the accompanying musicians and my brothers who performed with me and took the music to the next level including the all mighty Tomas Barfod on drums and Jeppe Kjellberg on electric slide of WhoMadeWho and the very talented Alexey Etcheverry on violin.  Thank you to the entire Robot Heart crew for the mindblowing creative force they’ve put together in the desert and for inviting me to perform at such a remarkable, liberating and otherworldly moment during the Burn. Happy to share this set and memory and I hope you enjoy it.

"and the moon turned pale as melting frost
and the sun became like blood
and the city lights flickered into darkness
as a doctor gave the wrong drugs
when shivering from the silence
and the air danced in spades
like a cape blowing in the wind

and every cloud and river 
played a joke on their own positions

and the peasants of the earth and the women
and the poor and the convicted
and the weak and every nobody
exposed themselves to the sky
and among the stars above 

and they cried to the sky and to the clouds
“lift us up and make us naked
from the absence of her who lies buried in the dirt,
and from the mercy of the wolf
for the day of her smile has come,
and who can deny her fire?”"

Come sail with https://soundcloud.com/fulltone who delivered such a beautiful journey on the Veronicaschip. Klassified is about writing new stories but it is also about the forgotten hidden colourful history. Fulltone took us back to the 1960's where Veronicaschip was one of the first independent radio stations that provided an bold alternative sound to the Netherlands by being offshore. 
Embark into a new adventure, where the status quo is challenged, where colours dance with soundscapes, where Fulltone gave the Veronicaschip all its splendours!
