750 days....That’s how long we had to postpone our debut as “Formerly” due to the epidemic.  

Originally programmed for April 11th, 2020, in Miami, just a month after the world shut down, we waited patiently for an end to the great pause that felt might never arrive.  In fact, the concept was almost all but abandoned by the four of us when we received the invitation to play at Robot Heart's historical Central Park debut: an opportunity to finally share our passion project together with everyone that was just too good to refuse. 

So without hesitation, we accepted, getting right to work preparing, and after a three-day music session together in Bushwick on May 1st, 2022, we emerged  for our premier; at last, together with a crowd full of Friends & Family and hosted by our brothers at RH precisely 750 days after initially planned. 

All we can say is it was worth the wait. 

Thank you to RH, NYC, and all our fans for joining us on this new adventure.   Hope to catch you all on dance floors soon.

Formerly - Robot Heart - Fare Forward - Central Park 2022

"I will never forget my first burn in 2008. Searching for good music on the playa back then was not as easy as recent years. Every corner was blasting either dubstep or electro type of genres  which was not in my interest and finding Robot Heart by accident during a night time adventure with my friends was one of the best find on the playa. 2008 was also Robot Heart's 1st year in Burning Man and as I remember I was one of the 100 people dancing right in front of it and dreaming that one day I will be playing on this amazing stage on wheels. It was only few years after that on the night Damian Lazarus took over the bus with his party called "Rebel Heart". After that night my whole perspective on music completely changed and I was so influenced by that night's unheard music that I made a record called "Rebel Heart" as soon as I got home from the Burn, which shaped up my whole career in the right direction. It was such an honor to finally make the dream come true and be part of Robot Heart's line up last year. Big thank you to Robot Heart crew for making this happen and taking great care of me while I was performing on Wednesday night. Looking forward for more exciting years to come."

It was a true honor to open the Playalchemist's intricately crafted pyramid on its debut at Burning Man. 
This incredible structure held space for an improvised spontaneous musical journey which became a unique sacred moment between the three of us, and every single participant in the extremely high energy crowd.
Thank you!

Live at Garbicz 2018 (Wiese-Closing)

On a beautiful Thursday afternoon on the playa , Sanctuary , Happy Campers and Gardens of Babylon created “ We are not Robots “ a circus of extraordinary humanoids under the magical dome of 1001 nights camp over on the back streets of 4:45 and J .
This Was truly a bonding labor of Love , we had a beautiful silken dome and the floors were cushioned by playground rubber matts which made everyone take off their shoes so they can jump and dance freely in front of the 50 .000 Watt Turbo Sound System calibrated by our legendary sound engineer .
That being said :
We have decided to release one of the most hauntingly beautiful sets that captured everyones soul at the event .Our 2 favorite Aliens  BRITTA / UNDERS were supposed to play 2 hours , we absolutely had to ask them to prolong the journey for a full 4 hour set which can be described as a "Dustyfairytale"  .They seamlessly poured eclectic sounds and vibrations that made us dancing fools think it was part of a Techno sound bath experiment ,They surpassed our wildest imagination and the crowd has never been so mesmerised by their energy and frequencies ever since.  After hearing the feedback of this magical set , it was our duty to release this as soon as the dust settled. 
We HOPE You enjoy this set as much as we all did . 
From the bottom of our GIANT Hearts , we thank everyone who was able to experience this magical day with us at Burning Man 2018.

A Monday like no other... After 9 hours wait to enter, we cruised the playa for the first time, we joined our Gardens of Babylon family for their welcoming party in Bang Bang, with so many familiar faces and friends, we directly felt at home! 
We then hoped on Maxa Camp's magical Deer art car, and drove toward Bang Bang, all of a sudden the party became a moving party, so many colourful bikes were following, we were completely mesmerized, it was the first time we played for a moving dancefloor! Until we reached the playa and then the crowd just didn't stop getting more colourful, more lights, more vibe. It literally was out of this world. 
What a welcome to Burning Man <3 !
