Pura Vida friends - It’s with goosebumps that I share with you the recording of my sunrise set at Envision 2023 in the jungle of Uvita in Costa Rica. 

It was an honour to have the chance to soundtrack the last sunrise of the festival on the Lapa Stage. 

It’s my second time participating at this powerful gathering, but the first time doing a deep dive and camping on site for 7 days. What an incredible experience! The jungle comes with its challenges, including the heat, the humidity, the bugs and the lack of sleep. But it’s so much worth it!

I believe these moments outside the comfort of our home are actually allowing us to feel alive, bond with our fellow camp companions, and appreciate the highs even more. 

  Apart from being an incredibly unique festival experience with a beautifully diverse music programming, the one thing that is blowing my mind is its focus on sustainability, innovation and environmental initiatives. 

Let’s not fool ourselves, a lot of foreigners including artists are flying from around the world for this event like many other destination festivals, so there’s clearly an important carbon footprint coming from that movement. 

But once you get to the festival grounds, you can instantly feel that respecting Mother Nature is at the core of the intentions of Envision. From the bamboo used to build the stages to the respect of the land, from the water consumption to the fully compostable food merchants, from the waste management to the Eco Hub where you can learn about ecology…

The most exciting thing I discovered is the “SOMOS EL CAMBIO” project that is a reforestation initiative in partnership with the local indigenous communities that invites the participants to adopt trees and plant various species to create a natural corridor that links the top of the mountain to the sea, which is essential for water systems, fauna and flora. 

In addition to that, Envision offers an abundance of workshops, discussions, meditations, sound healings, women’s circles, vegan food, healthy drinks…proof that a large scale sonic gathering can actually evolve into a transformative experience beyond entertainment. That’s in my opinion an important vessel for change on the individual and collective scale and I’m hopeful a lot of events around the world will take this direction that is more aligned with Earth’s frequency. 

 Days and nights flew by, and suddenly it’s Sunday morning…time to get ready! All the stories, conversations and inspirations from different events during the week lead me to collect clues and pieces of the puzzle along the way which brought me have a better idea of what I would want to play for the sunrise moment. 

The Sunday programming was awesome, with music from  Marques Wyatt, Zach Walker, SIS and Township Rebellion. I started at 4:30 am as the night was still dark, following up Township who played a really cool energetic nocturnal session. He landed with quite a groovy track and it felt the energy was really high on the floor when I got to start. 

So quite in the opposite polarity of a traditional evolving set, this one started with a quite electric feel, blooming into a warmer and light daytime morning vibe.  

The first beams of light started appearing as I played ‘Tantale’ - Rafaelle jumped in at this moment to add vocals and it felt like a symbolic timing to transition from Luna to Sol energy.  

Thanks to my partner Ashley for joining me in this journey, my awesome Montréal friends Dexter, Gabrielle, Patrice, Rafaelle, Thibault, Caterina, Hellan and so many more that brought such a good energy so we all give everything we’ve got to land the astral plane. Thanks to all the amazing humans who danced with us! 

Also thankful for Driss, Uma and all the Envision crew for the invitations. Kudos to the sound team who worked tirelessly to make some miracles happen in the wild jungle. 

May we keep dancing to connect a little bit more with who we are: nature. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this set!

Dear friends, I'm grateful to share with you the recording of a morning session I had the pleasure to DJ on the cutest art car, Lucy S Cargo the colourful Sonic Snail 🌈  after sunrise on Friday AM at Burning Man 2024.

It was a sunny Friday morning on this love planet, smiling and taking life as it comes, lightly and playfully. 

I was so glad to DJ alongside @christianvoldstad and after my brother @dextercrowe who was soundtracking his first sunrise session on the playa so beautifully! I recommend you start with his set so you can hear the earlier chapter of this sunrise journey.  

Gratitude & Mettā - May the light of this moment be shared with all beings who need it.   ❤️

If only when  that rain came, love hid the pain. A great driving and dancing song that both excites and chills.

Verse of vibration

A night full of great vibes and wonderful people opening for Matthew Dekay was an amazing experience, we enjoyed it so much and hope everyone did too :)

Zone+ & Usif Opening Set For Matthew Dekay

Rampue - WooMooN - Closing September 16th

Where to start . . . ?! This second Burning Man experience was indescribable. 
Filled with serendipitous moments, my week was as magical as it could have been.

Robot Heart was the last of the seven shows I played and certainly one I was looking forward to the most. Why? Because I was given the opportunity to play an extended set. Pretty damn special isn't it?!

It's 7.30AM, Saturday after man burn, I wake up all dusty in my yurt after playing through a mad storm at White Ocean from 3 to 5AM hoping for the weather to have settled a little. I walk outside and guess what . . . 
it is a complete white out!!! 

Putting all the good will I have out there, I decide to jump on my bicycle and ride out to the deep playa to find the bus. The wind is very strong and the visibility so low that I literally get thrown off it. I desperately start walking, like a blind man, following whatever sound I can hear. Slowly losing hope, I eventually run into a bunch of white walkers on the same mission. I realise time is running low as I have lost all sense of direction. My skepticism increases, yet my ears magically take me to the Heart just before the start of my agreed set time - 8.30AM. Monolink is performing live in front of a bunch of troopers. I get informed that performances have slightly been delayed due to weather conditions. The sky gets darker by the minute. The crew warns me that rain had been forecasted and that music would have to be turned off for safety reasons in case of another storm. I then realise that my set could just get canceled. Sad face. I pray the weather gods for mercy.
As I get on, the sky magically clears. No more wind, barely any clouds, no more dust. My nightmare turns into a dream and my journey on the decks begins.

I hope you’ll appreciate and enjoy the spontaneity of this set.

Love, and Love only.

Art Project:
Ursa Major
Reaching to grab what is within her grasp is Ursa Major, a 14 foot tall, grizzly bear sow. She may simply be reaching for berries but perceivably she is reaching higher: to the northern sky and the constellation that is her name, Ursa Major. In navigation, the constellation is useful in pointing the way to the North Star.  Ursa Major’s pose is inspiring, she brings the gaze and hopes of the participant skyward. She also demonstrates respect for the bears and nature, her pose is not like a taxidermy bear. She is in her natural state and unthreatening.  With a durable, unique material that was used on their previous Burning Man project (Penny the Goose), Ursa Major’s fur will be made of US and Canadian pennies. The pattern and feel will be like fur.
