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

For eternal connection.

Gabrielle Dominique is a Bay Area based DJ, mystic, licensed psychotherapist, writer and yoga/movement practitioner. She is inspired by the potential to weave art, trance states, storytelling, creativity, healing, dance and music in her mixes, and doesn’t see therapy, collective healing, and sonic journeying as separate or distinct. Her belief is that it is all the same — at the root, these experiences get us in touch with who we truly are by altering our perception and disrupting our default mode of thinking and relating. Her intention is to get people in touch with their Eternal Self and interconnectedness through the power of Sound, movement, music and connection. Gabrielle was born in Miami and her mixing is sonically influenced by the diverse culture and music there, as well as Detroit techno and Chicago house. Her father is a music-obsessed nerd and multi-instrumentalist, and is her deepest and initial inspiration. She’s been studying and exploring house music since she was 13, and continues to expand her taste and sonic territory by keeping her finger on the pulse with labels and artists that are shaping the landscape of techno and house music with their newest releases. She is on a continuous journey of learning how to honor the roots/origins of techno and house music and support the BIPOC and queer communities that made it the cultural movement that it is today. Her mixes tend to include sounds with Eastern influence, are typically deep and heavy, yet uplifting at once. You can expect a range of sounds… from progressive to soulful, disco to organic, melodic to deep, underground to afrohouse, minimal to techno, UKG to transcendental, and back again. She makes a daily / weekly practice of exploring new sounds, labels, and artists. To book her for a gig, direct message her on Soundcloud.

Robot Heart is a collective of doers and dreamers, artists and entrepreneurs. Our home is in the desert dust of Burning Man, and the streets of New York City, Detroit, Bay Area and Hong Kong. Home is wherever the Heart is.

Robot Heart is a community and a family, and our events are an extension and celebration of that community, bound together by shared values of inclusion, giving, environmental responsibility and mutual respect.
