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. 

XO, 
Dill

John Dill - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2023

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. ❤️‍🔥

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.

“We are the freedom warriors
We are the children of intuition
Sons of sacred euphoria
Daughters of spontaneous illumination
Lovers of Magical intoxication
Romantic Rebels
Infinite Seashell riders
We are the seekers of the beautiful unknown
Our inner revolution will lead to the universal liberation
We do not scream for an audience, we shout at the holy
If we do not break the rules there will be no tomorrow
Freedom warriors do not raise flags
They raise themselves!”
//Carlito

Since I started DJing, playing for sunrise on the Mayan Warrior was always one of my absolute dreams… This Sunday morning was undoubtedly the most magical journey I’ve ever experienced, the culmination point of an outstanding week in the desert and highlight of my musical journey…  :’) Dear dancers, thank you for your incredible energy, for all the smiles and the joy!!! Just being there surrounded by all my friends made it truly exceptional, dancing all together as one, as if nothing else existed than the pure ecstatic bliss of this moment! The most beautiful dream. We are all divine creators, now is the time to remember our infinite powers!
 
I’m so infinitely grateful to have gotten the chance to co-create this musical cosmic exploration with you guys, and incredibly happy to now release the set here! 2/3 of the tracks are my own productions, and many of them not released yet I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 
Massive thank you to all the Mayan Warrior family working so hard behind the scenes to make this all possible, thank you for inspiring us all ♥️
Thank you so much for tuning in and boarding the journey!! See you on the other side!!

¨It's always an honor to play at the Warrior and this one was special in so many levels. A new chapter began with the Galaxyer, it´s different but felt the same. It was Saturday night after the man burned surrounded by dust storms and fire twisters. Saturdays are always like our New Year Celebration, sharing with our family and friends, everyone is still buzzing after a tough week playing in the desert. It's always challenging to play on this night as everyone is running on fumes, but it feels special to be a part of the closing ceremony. Usually Burning Man is the time of the year when I really unplug but this year I had to be close to my family, I’m thankful I was able to be back in time to say goodbye. Love You. ¨

¨A last set in a first time Burn, closing a full circle in the Mayan and Maxa link up, playing between a Sandstorm and the ashes of the Temple, where not only me, but many of us left tears, hugs and memories on its walls to be taken by the fire. 

Sharing this moment with @madmotormiquel, a musician and person that I am so lucky to call a friend, with whom I feel the trust to musically go anywhere, and some of our closest and dearest friends as a last dance was beyond special. 

Mayan family, thank you for your trust in us to guide a musical journey in this delicate and emotional moment, and for the best closure we could wish for.¨

Hello angels,

It has been too long and we still have some incredible masterpieces from Butterflies and before to upload. In comes our amazing star on the rising Qussay, the most beautiful soul and such a STRONG presence on the Babylon stage!

His closing set of the Butterfly weekend was nothing short of LEGENDARY! The vibe was absurd. It was emotional, it was overwhelmingly beautiful and simply the perfect way to end two perfect days.

We can not wait until this magical man comes back to Babylon for more!

Performing for the Maxa Deer NYE was truly magical for both of us. We could feel through the whole set the strong, united, and loving energy of the crowd. It allowed us to get in a flow that was perfect for entering this new year. 

Huge thanks to all of for vibing so much with us. 🙏🙏♥️♥️

"2018 at BM was only my second burn and after my first (4 years prior) I did not think it could get any better… But this year somehow was 100 times better! I think this was due to camping with the amazing Pink Mammoth crew and family. Arriving there a few days early to help set up was incredible to acclimatise and hang out. So many people at PM are already close friends, but this year I met loads of new people who, I can now call family. 

At my first BM I also played at PM, although none of us can work out how I ended up playing there specifically haha! We think Derek knew I was coming and asked if I would like to play. Thankfully he did, because I instantly fell in love with the camp and playing there. Four years on, (and playing many times for PM at their events) it felt like coming home. Its so satisfying playing somewhere where you feel completely relaxed to play what you want to play, in a perfect environment.  

This set also was made extra special by an amazing (pre planned) marriage proposal mid set between Harrison and Felicity. Harrison had told me a couple days prior that my song “In Love” was one of his and Felicity's favourite songs that they shared together. He wanted to propose and asked if I could play the song for them whilst he did so. I of course was completely honoured so myself and Harrison arranged that I would play it mid set, about an hour in and would give him a nod to signal it. With his broken ankle (he’d broken it just a day prior!), they both climbed up onto the speaker, and to Felicity’s surprise, just as “In Love” started to come in, he proposed in front of the whole crowd! Of course she said yes ;)

So you’ll hear in this mix the volume dip at the start of “In Love”, which is a lovely memento forever recorded in this mix! Hope you all enjoy! Tim.”
