This was my 10th proper Burn (not including the super special Free Burn.) I was on playa for 14 days total. Participating in the build, the magic and tear down. The dust and the heat were intense, creating the perfect storm for remembering the extremes of Black Rock City. But even with all of nature's surprises the “show” still pushed forward and ultimately we all had the adventures we needed.

I was fortunate to have a romantic adventure partner whom I was falling for deeply. We had met 4 months prior and both knew the playa could possibly shift or solidify our foundation. After a reflective Tuesday night, I found myself at the temple during Wednesday’s sunset and thought “I want her to show up here.” Behold my beating heart - 15 min later she came around the corner smiling and said “hello.” We embraced and gazed deeply into each other’s eyes. At that moment I knew I was all in… The playa adventures to follow were the sweetest of sweet!

During my burn night set, she sat on my booth monitor as I played from the heart. We shared tender moments as some lyrics hit home for us. I chose music that reminded me of life, love and dust. My hopes were it would do the same for others. Two of my favorite memories were when I played a track with the lyrics “falling for you” and the man fell. And the track that followed - I’ll let you figure out why ;)

This musical journey is a mix of tunes found by me and gifted by friends.
Special thanks to Justin, RY X, Illich, Rocky, Opal and Dio for bringing these tracks into my life. This set is a bit different than what I’m used to playing, but in the end, it encapsulates how I felt.  

And to my camp, Robot Heart: What we continue to create in the dust is pure love & beats. Our old double-decker with one of the best sound systems in the world has so much soul. I am grateful for all our efforts to make it happen year after year. Thank you to all the dusty friends in front of the bus that bring the spice!  

And to that special human that said hello to me 7 months ago (May 13th) on the dance floor. Meesh you 💕

XO,
Dill aka "Dusty Pickle"

It was one for the books! Flooded with up’s and downs. 

This was the oldest man in the history of Burning Man I believe; with extra days on the Playa we all got a little wiser.  It was wonderful to see people come together and weather the storms. 

Big thanks to my Robot Heart camp for making this after the rain party happen. Much love to everyone who came out to celebrate with us.  

This set is dedicated to everyone who made to the dust and to the ones who rocked the mud.

Saturday, 7am, G camp, Burning Man 2024

Kotoe, Madmotormiquel and myself (Nacho Isa) take on the decks for the last G camp party of the week. The rest is history. A wild morning into the afternoon. Ten hours of ups and downs. 

If you were there you know what we are talking about. If you weren't this will give you an idea of what that morning was.

Thanks to everyone that came to support us and in particular to all the Gs that were a key component to the magic of the day.

Everyone who’s been to a burn probably knows how emotional, mind-blowing, and deeply fulfilling that week can be. My Sunday sunrise set at Maxa was without a doubt one of the most special and emotional sets of my life – just like the entire week at Burning Man. What an intense and beautiful journey, culminating in that final sunrise I got to play on the deer.

Huge thanks to Maxa for having me and for creating one of the most stunning art cars out there! I loved every second of that set and felt truly honored to curate the soundtrack to that last sunrise out on the playa.

It’s moments like these that fuel my fire and remind me why I keep doing what I do. ❤️‍🔥

With love we proudly share the magic of Lato and unders whose musical journey rocked Camp Kiss on Wednesday night. 

A short note from the artists: 
This idea of our back to back was years in the making, the playa provided in a fashion neither of us could have imagined: the most welcoming & solid camp with it’s own super club in its courtyard, an outstanding custom built german sound system and a dance floor full of beautiful humans thriving with an open heart and a thirst for fun, love and anything we threw their way. Thank you KISS and all those who joined for gifting us an unforgettable night, allowing us to experiment and feel free. To be continued…

rampue - Live at Reactor Venao, Panama, Sunrise 2025

I am beyond excited to present to you the recording of my 5.5 closing sunrise DJ set for the Calling All Magical People (@camp-festival) 2025 set. 

This was a meaningful, special one, celebrating the 4th of July in a time of the utmost turmoil in America and in the world. I knew my commentary about America in the 4th of July had to be bold this year, and I risked killing a dance floor in making a statement about waking up to salvage democracy in the face of the rising and nascent facism taking root in the USA.

I hope you enjoy this journey, and I thank the dancers for being patience with me as I walk off stage due to technical difficulties, it took us amount to get started but we got there. 

Special thanks to @thezoharportal for collaborating with me in reading Mary Oliver’s poem “The Journey” for the intro track to acknowledge the collective grieving of relationships ending, and for the beautiful messaging that I was able to sprinkle with her poetic, mystical voice through the set.

My heartfelt thank you to the CAMP team and Therapy sound for believing in my vision and to Mick and Michael Z for setting up the tarp and the flag and everything else as we were battling the rains and broken CDJ’s - this truly was a collective odyssey into the new day of a new America. 

Much love, keep fighting for democracy!

Whole is a deep, melodic house journey that maps the path from isolation to connection. Driven by a hypnotic hand pan pattern and a warm, driving bassline, it builds with sophisticated restraint into a powerful, peak-time groove. Minimal, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant.
