I created this mix from tunes that I played over and over while making images for my art show : In Search of Sight - Chapter 1 - "beautiful…" 

“Waves are crashing, sun is transforming and all of a sudden hundreds of black dots filled the sky. That was the moment my retina decided it was going to let loose. It was quite beautiful and poetic…" 

This mix is dedicated to that moment in time and the friends who helped me bring chapter 1 - "beautiful…" to life. much love , dill

In Search of Sight - Chapter 1 - "Beautiful…"

Our DJ set from the Saturday night of closing weekend of Sundream Tulum, March 2022.

RÜFÜS DU SOL (DJ SET) from Sundream Tulum Closing Weekend 03.12.2022

“On sacred Colombian territory we entered a challenging and rewarding adventure that will help us deconstruct limiting beliefs to access and ignite our authentic self.” (Re-treated)

It was night time and the full-ish moon was smiling down as the river flowed and all the creatures made their distinct sounds. A fire warmed our bodies as music feed our souls. 

Inspired by the human experience that unfolded in a beautiful container surrounded by Mother Nature. This set was a celebration of the journey’s ending … or was it the just beginning ;) I was in a complete flow state, I knew two tracks I wanted to start with and two towards the end. Tunes were pulled from many different pockets of my collection.

On the property was an amazing labyrinth. Our journey and realizations through it weaved their way into this set. I later googled life and labyrinth and found this:  

“Our life path can be viewed as a labyrinth guiding us to deeper meaning and fulfillment. Walking a labyrinth takes us through numerous twists and turns that symbolize the ebb and flow of life. Like the design of a labyrinth, what looks like an end point in life can also be a beginning point.” (link below)

I’m now obsessed with labyrinths!!! Thus the title of this release.

Special thanks to the Re-treated family 001 - “Class” of Feb 2023 - Santa Marta - Colombia! Your love and energy brought this set to life. Eternally grateful to each of you!  

Let’s keep dancing together ❤️💪

Life as a Labyrinth - Santa Marta - Colombia - Feb 9 2023

Dear listener 🖤🤍🖤⁠
I was invited to play "Tauron Nowa Muzyka" festival in Poland this year and when I saw the lineup, I was intrigued at how varied and eclectic it was.⁠
As my slot at the club Stage was the closing set on Sunday morning, I had the idea to summarize the festival in my set.  So on the train to Katowice I started digging into all the artists whom I didn't already know and put a set together that consists only of music from artists who performed at this year’s edition of the festival. 
It was a bit of work and a challenge given the limited amount of time I had to prepare, but it was quite a lot of fun and I want to share it with you!


🙏🏻

🫶🏿

✌️⁠

P.S. I know many of you are waiting for this year‘s Fusion set to be released. Don’t worry, it will happen.⁠
In the meantime, you’re invited to try on this one.

Nowa Muzyka

A fairytale themed evening in the woods in Northern California, amidst an open minded group of creatives. 

We enjoyed the opportunity to explore musically beyond some of the normal dance floor and venue constraints.

T.S. Eliot leads us off with a excerpted reading from the Dry Salvages... and off on our adventure we go.

Mix Tape 010 Nomade - Nicola Cruz

A moth's wings whisper in the pre-dawn light as the bug enters a glowing blue tube.  The whisper is amplified and fed back upon itself repeatedly, growing in volume and energy until its reverberations lacerate sonic symmetries into the ancient lake bed.

Burningman 2024 night set

A moment we’ll never forget. The energy was surreal, the horizon painted in light, and we all felt this deep connection between the music, the dust, and the people. It was pure magic.

Thank you Maxa & Bipolar Express family for making this happen!'

A few words from the DJs... 

Sam Goku… sublime producer… superlative deejay… stand-up guy.  This night felt really special as it was the reprise of his outstanding US debut at Mansions a few years back. Hearing him in person for the first time, I was struck not only by his command of the room but moreover by his effortless weaving of fresh and mind-bending sounds in a whimsical and completely intuitive way. It’s rare to find a kindred spirit in one’s approach to djing––playing together for the first time was inspiring, electric and importantly fun. Tech House forever. - @dlc_nyc

DLC, Downloadable Content, ist ein unglaublicher DJ-Name, aber ich nenne ihn Eugene. Ihm habe ich zu verdanken, dass ich das erste Mal in New York spielen durfte, und seitdem fühlt sich Mansions wie unser zweites Wohnzimmer an – von der Zeit, die wir uns kennen, haben wir die meiste davon in diesem Club verbracht. Dort habe ich ihn auch das erste Mal spielen hören. Wundervolle, äußerst seltsame Klänge, zusammengehalten durch den Stoff des Gewöhnlichen, den wir beide im Herzen tragen – Tech House. Als meine Freunde unseren gemeinsamen Stream bei The Lot Radio sahen, schrieben sie mir auf WhatsApp: 'Wir lieben ihn! Geiler Typ, mit dem kann man feiern.' In der Tat. Hier unser b2b. - @samgoku

This set was recorded live at the Effervescence party @ Mansions on August 25, 2024.

We’re grateful to have shared an unforgettable moment on the iconic Robot Heart art car as Arodes and Shimza. This sunset set wasn’t just a performance; it was a reflection of the deep bond we’ve built through music. Music has always been the heart of our connection, and sharing this journey with such a beautiful community, under the vast desert sky, felt like a true alignment of energy and purpose. This experience reminded us of the power music has to unite, heal, and transcend boundaries, and we’re honored to have been a part of something so meaningful.

For pretty much the whole year I’m either headed towards or away from Burning Man. 

Each year out there there’s this moment in space and time where I feel perfectly balanced between the two. It’s a moment where time stands still, just for a second. 

That moment is when the first ember of the day’s sun peaks over the mountain top to begin its journey once more. 

I try to find a piece of music to express the feeling of stillness and presence I get.  This year the sun was kind enough to arrive 1 hour 28 minutes and 40 seconds into this mix. I was in awe. I’m still in awe.

Some of the magic of the playa for me is where the nature blends with boundless creativity. Where love meets wonder and we get to laugh, dance and play. Add a dash of music for good measure and, for a moment, that magic catches its breath to take it all in, and stands still.

2024 was one of my favorite years ever. Thank you to all you artists and lovers, cooks and cuddlers. To all those who toil for months before and after to make it happen and to anyone who gave anything to another. You’re all amazing. I’m currently headed back towards (or is it away from) that moment once more.

Lee Burridge - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2024

One year ago today, October 29, 2023, we said our final goodbye to 159. A building that is dear to our hearts and the birth site of the Robot Heart community. We gathered there to celebrate life, love and beats. 

Closing set, 11AM to .......!

I played many closing sets within those walls, but this “final final” hit differently. I poured my heart into the music, weaving through pockets of tunes that felt just right for that moment—to honor Geo, the space, the neighborhood, and our dusty roots. 

Big thanks to Benji for making this celebration happen and to all the family and friends who brought the Halloween heat! 

The red door is etched in my soul, and seeing it on the playa this year was truly special. (Thank you, Zach C., for taking the lead.)

VIKEN ARMAN Live Set @ KaterBlau - 2014

Since I am not playing any sets this Halloween season, as I’ve benched myself again till I can figure out how to make my ears happy and tinnitus calm. I've decided to release this 1.5 hour slice of a 6.5 hour set. Some of my favorite good vibe tunes at the time - old and new - well all old now ;) This mix is from 4 years ago. Halloween afterparty at 159. I was rocking a wig the whole night and morning... by the weeeeeeeeeeee hours, it looked legit from all the sweat and shenanigans. It was one of those flow state sets where tracks were just melting into each other and choosing each other… lots of love in the air and smiles all around.  Thus the name of the mix - AphroDILLiac, my nickname from the party. Hope you enjoy this little flashback..xo Dill

Aphrodilliac - Halloween 159 AfterParty - Sunday October 27 2013

so it was a rainy afternoon in Singapore, I'm in bed listening to some of my favorite chill tracks - old, newish and in between.  at one point thunder and beats dominate the air..  I stopped the music to record the storm on my ipad and enjoy natures rhythms!  

Later I decided to go back and make a short mix ...   since I cannot use my usual set up because of my eye / recovery situation I decided to give traktor on my ipad a go..  so keep that in mind as u listen.. its my first iPad traktor mix, no editing.. one strait go at it.  it reminded me of making a mix back in the day. 

Hope you enjoy , I only had a few chilled out beats on my ipad .. they helped keep me company thru my bed recovery!  thank you all for the love and support... xo

p.s.  photo taken from my bed that afternoon.
