Lee Burridge - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2022

_______________________________________________________________________________________________


I had the chance to meet the Robot Heart crew twelve years ago in NYC for a giant Halloween party where I played on the ‘copy bus’. 

That was a life changing moment somehow. I realized my music could be the soundtrack for a world that’s beyond our imagination, far from my Paris studio.

In 2023, I come full circle by performing at Burning Man for the very first time with my partner Liset Alea. 

This Thursday sunset set was a moment we’ll savour for years to come.

In this live recording you’ll hear: Liset singing 30 feet above the ground from inside the blinking heart, the voices of multiple colorful creatures dancing all around us, the massive Know Audio custom sound system rumbling under our feet, the laughter of unicorns, dragons and shamans… and if you really listen carefully you might even hear the buzz of a billion stars shimmering above our head.

Memories of Robot Heart founder Geo carried us along the set. His legacy will live forever.

Thank you Robot Heart for your commitment to music, love and Burning Man.

Rodriguez Jr. (Live) Featuring Liset Alea - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2023

“When the sun sets over the playa, the freaks come out to play. For this occasion, as is tradition, DISTRIKT and Robot Heart joined forces and tied up their sound systems for one of my favorite parties I have yet witnessed at Burning Man. Something special happened that day. Playa magic.”

Patrice Bäumel - DISTRIKT x Robot Heart - Burning Man 2023

I was thinking about all the long waits in line for Burning Man tickets over the years and decided to give some of you something to listen to while the walking person icon slowly makes its way across the screen holding all our hopes in its little tiny pixel hands. 

The wait time  is usually about as long as it took to get from one side of the playa to the other last year after it rained and the playa shrimp rose up to attempt to take over the world!! 

Burning Mud. Mudding man. Raining man. Remember the wild stories (all from the outside media or Diplo and Chris Rock) vs the kindness and generosity of strangers out on the playa. I hope, even if faced with adversity last year, maybe, just maybe, you also saw how wonderful people can be when called upon in a ‘crisis’. 

I was lucky enough to stay until Tuesday night and grateful to still get to play a sunrise on the Robot Heart albeit a few days later than planned. There was so much love in the air that (finally) beautiful morning. If you missed it or want to listen once more or are just bored and looking for something to distract you while waiting in line for this years tickets (I’ll be waiting too) then here’s burning man/mud/magic 2023.  Feel the love in the air and the tickle of playa shrimp on the soles of your feet.

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

Live recorded at Çubuklu 29, Istanbul.
Monkey Project Presents: Sunset Sessions

Lee Burridge - Monkey Project: Sunset Sessions

“To be the first artist on Monday night at Burning Man on the new Mayan Warrior Galaxyer is likely the biggest honor as DJ of 24 years. As a practicing Architect and touring DJ, the admiration I hold for the work Mayan Warrior weaves together to bring the highest level of design, sound, lighting and music, in the form of an “artcar” is endless. 
Having not seen the new design of the Mayan Warrior art car the night of my set, and being lost in the desert, trying to find it was an adventure that almost cost me missing my set. I had no idea what to look for. The only clue I could think about was lasers… but in the hectic sky of Black Rock City, the commanding, brightest vertical laser beam, connecting deep into the cosmos was my only clue. 

With less than 10 minutes until the beginning of my DJ set, and out of breath form vigorously riding my bike to arrive to the Galaxyer on time, there was no time to overthink it. I plugged into the systems, set the controls for the galaxy and let the music flow… Prepare for my cinematic & cosmic musical journey aboard the new Mayan Warrior Galaxyer; featuring tracks of mine which I wrote dreaming of playing them on this amazing creation, plus some old ones from 2001. Flying that spaceship was truly legendary. 

Eternal gratitude to the Mayan Warrior family (the entire crew and Amal, Pablo & Rodrigo), for having me be a part of the Galaxyer’s re-birth story, and all of you who were there on playa on this special night.”

“Echoes of Rā-Rā-Rā ” emerges as a powerful sonic experience, centered on the commanding, ritualistic chant of “Rā-Rā-Rā ” Dedicated to Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun, the track fuses modern electronic intensity with the timeless mystique of ancient mythology. Through thunderous rhythms, immersive textures, and evolving melodic layers, it pulls listeners into a trance-like journey where past and present converge, and the eternal pulse of antiquity radiates through every beat.

Echoes of Rā-Rā-Rā (Velra Forma)

I like to imagine sometimes where the music will travel to. Who it will be given to or shared with. Whether it will be played at an after party in London or listened to on a set of headphones while watching the sun rise from behind a mountain in Tibet. I wonder which tracks you'll fall in love with instantly and which will grow on you as time passes. 

I know this is a really long mix and the journey into it and out the other side takes some commitment but, on the plus side, it saves you having to look for anything else to play for ages and ages.

 I hope you love the tracks as much as I do and thanks for listening.

As always, this is for Christina. For all those long nights working in the cloud

With love, Lee

Lee Burridge - DISTRIKT - Burning Man 2019

It’s been a while since I played DISTRIKT last. After this years experience I’m somewhat kicking myself. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crowd at Burning Man so wild and fun. The party was electric. Fire! And, it was only Tuesday. ‘Pacing it’ was obviously out of the question for the five thousand or so that joined me. The Robot Heart bus rolled up and plugged in. Hoj tore the place up before me. Our day party extended into night and most of us left with a smile on our faces and an electricity that carried us forward. Beautiful people swung above the crowd in a birdcage (is that safe I kept asking myself in my head)and hips wiggled and swung while the multi-level dance floor bumped and bounced. Basically, best day party at Burning Man ever ever. So, thank you DISTRIKT for giving me an extended set and an amazing party to play. Let’s do it again next year. It’s a date?
