True Detective // A Mixtape Inspired by the Series

The synergy that we share with the output of Michael Mayer's Kompakt imprint is something that should never be questioned. He's been part of our programming for as long as we can remember and the label's wax output is a staple of most of our visitors’ DJ bags. Last year in fact they just celebrated 20 years in operation, which is no mean feat and most likely down to Mayer’s ongoing day to day commitment to the label and persistent discovery of new talents. With his annual Room One outing scheduled for the weekend ahead we got an opportunity to catch up what's new for 2014 and how sometimes being an in demand remixer as well as A&R takes its toll on his own personal studio time. Mayer has also provided us with a mix to outlay what we can look forward to in the dark hours of the weekend ahead right here in Farringdon.

david hôhme - Bubbles & Bass Sunrise, Burning Man 2015

"Playing the Sunday morning closing set at Robot Heart at my first Burning Man was one of the most touching and rewarding moments of my musical adventure so far. I have always made music with the desert in mind, and this felt somehow like coming home, sharing it in the perfect environment. 

The manifestation of an intention - a full circle. 

Thanks to everybody who believes in my work and has helped me get this far on my journey, and to all the beautiful souls and amazing creatures who shared this moment and made it a special morning.  

Much love"

BURNING MAN 2016 - Deep Tunes for Deep Playa (Vol 6)

"It was already a really overwhelming, but also exhausting, week for me at my first Burning Man. Then there was this Friday night. From the moment I started playing I felt so good and watching all those tiny lights on people's bikes heading towards the bus, it looked so beautiful. After my set I had so much energy that I stayed and danced on the bus for at least 12 more hours. This was a very special experience and that bus is definitely one of the coolest things I've ever played on, and I'm more than happy that I had a little role in this whole adventure.

cheers
Paul"

Art Piece: The Sonic Runway is a 1000 foot long corridor of lights connected to a sound system.  As thumping beats race across the desert, they trigger patterns of light that ripple down the corridor at the speed of sound. Wherever you stand, the lights and sound are in sync. You’ll never see sound the same again.

"Normally I know that high expectations kill the vibe, so I always try to walk my way open minded and don’t expect anything special from the future, but this time I couldn’t help it. When the Robot told me that she wanted me to play the sunrise set and that we will be connected with the Mayan Warrior soundsystem, I could feel it already in Berlin a full three weeks before… Then when I finally took the bus over to Robot Heart it was even better than in my craziest expectations. This gig was by far the most emotional gig I have ever played. All I can say is thank you, I am even more happy now to be born on this weird planet which can be really beautiful sometimes, when you give it  chance to be free. Thank you you for dancing with me and giving me so much Love. So here is my try to give something back.

(This set includes only sounds, samples, synths, basses, pianos, vocals and lyrics which are created, recorded and arranged by Jan Blomqvist, Felix Lehman & Ryan Mathiesen. Except the vocals at Dancing People are never wrong and one tiny vocal sample in the last track, you'll recognize it)"

Art piece: Awakening

www.facebook.com/AwakeningBurningMan2016

The human body is the most highly engineered object in existence, a machine of uncountable parts and unfathomable function. Its workings have served as inspiration for all of humanity's greatest inventions. This work is an homage to the two most amazing mechanisms in that machine: the human eye and hand. The head is a 16 foot camera obscura demonstrating the ray optics principals underlying the spherical lensed eye humans posses and the hands are actuated mimicking the tendons and bones of the body. Together they represent what separates life from the rest of the universe, the ability to observe the world around us and manifest change in that world. 

Jan Blomqvist (Live) - Robot Heart x Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2016

Now more than ever, building bridges, connecting with the people around us and promoting unity is a necessity to live in prosperity towards the future… Sometimes one plus one is more than two… On Wednesday night and Thursday morning we witnessed an example of this magic when we united forces with Robot Heart, creating an epic experience between both stages and a massive mixed audience. The sun had risen and it was time for the last set on the Warrior's side, it was time for MENTAL. Rebolledo and Dramian created an energetic hypnotic journey through a wide range of emotions. A morning to remember... It was one for the books...

Catacomb rises like a rocky outcropping off the desert floor. It is a ruin, a remnant of our collective search for moments of quiet, introspection and reflection. It is a journey of discovery and a descent into a subterranean world.

Guy Gerber - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

"2016 was the fifth consecutive sunrise for me on the Robot Heart bus. It was the first one where a silent and beautifully spread out deck of clouds filled the sky, and played hide and seek with the sun for the first hour after sunrise. I had another amazing morning that I will forever remember. Hope you liked it too, and looking forward to sharing the recording with all of you!" - Scumfrog

Wolf + Lamb vs. Soul Clap - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2011

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.

Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016 - Sunday Morning - Black Rock City

YokoO - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

"As I listened to this set once again, back home, I was transported back to a place where everything feels like a dream and where time seizes to exist.   This is the power of music. I once again felt the sun on my face, I saw the smiles of joy below and around  me, was almost brought to tears by that moment on the playa, surrounded by limitless love and affection.  

We are affected by each other in such profound ways and this should never be underestimated.  It is because of this that this set exists.  As you listen, I ask that you allow the introduction by Alan Watts to fill you with intention and allow the music to become the soundtrack for your actions after the music has stopped.  We are all in this together, and I thank the Robot Heart family for facilitating these pivotal moments in all of our lives."

Art: Identity Reorganization Portal - Michael Emery 

Identity Reorganization Portal is a steel gazebo-like structure. The portal’s footprint is narrow and circular with a diameter of 48″. Its total height is 11′. The entire structure, covered with thousands of small irregularly-cut mirrors, shines from a distance. Unable to avoid shiny objects, myriads of Black Rock citizens will be drawn closer only to find their own reflections scattered, reorganized and blended with the reflection of others nearby. This installation endeavors to raise important questions in the group mind about the nature of Identity. Passing through the center of the portal reveals one’s reflection now compressed by the inner concave nature of these mirrored walls.

Eduardo Castillo - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

On a lovely Tuesday night we made the long trek over from Disco Knights for my first time playing the legendary Robot Heart bus.  Early in the evening, so initially a very family affair, but it quickly turned into a lovely dance party with friends and strangers alike.   A lovely experience with great hosts....

Art: Da Vinci Virus - Brennan Steele

Symbolizing the connection between people, technology, and the environment, the Da Vinci Virus was a giant kinetic clockwork bacteriophage. Participants powered the bio machine by pulling a dangling chain to rotate the cube and engage the clockwork skin of the capsid head, thus spinning all of the gears in unison revealing hidden murals etched on each face.  Inline with the theme of last years burn, the Virus was inspired by Da Vinci’s love off geared machines, and burned Friday Night.

In 2014, i spent my first Burning Man sunrise aboard the legendary Robot Heart bus. To me, it might as well have been Shangri La... 

As i looked outwards to the horizon during the peak of the sunrise in amazement, I glanced over to my good friend and told him that I would not die happily until i had the opportunity to play the Robot Heart bus at Burning Man. 

I'm truly humbled and honored to now have the amazing RH team present you with my set from the Tuesday late night hours. The set begins just as the bus parked itself in deep playa. So i had a special opportunity to welcome everyone who drove, biked, and walked over to the middle of nowhere to experience the nightly musical offerings. 

With that said, I truly hope you enjoy this experience I was grateful to share with the Robot Heart family and the countless people in attendance. 

All my love <3

Art: Jar of Sand - Trish Dolman and friends

Jar of Sand is a large-scale (8′ tall x 4′ diameter) canning-style “glass” jar filled with plastic collected from beaches of the Pacific Northwest. By engaging people to clean up our oceans, Jar of Sand intends to create awareness and encourage action. Domestic garbage and pieces of garbage from the Pacific Trash Vortex—the massive island of floating trash—are carried across oceans and wind up on our shores, telling a story of resource extraction, production, and consumption. In this time of climate change and excessive use of fossil fuels, this art installation is a reflection and commentary on our plastic consumption and ultimately unsustainable waste. Participants are welcome to bring plastic that they have collected from the ocean and beaches to the playa and put them in the Jar. The collected plastic will be creatively layered in an over-height custom fabricated jar that will be displayed at Burning Man .

Goldcap - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

Making my return to the Playa for the sixth time held special meaning for me as it does every year. However I see Burning Man like lovers. You can't compare them, they're uniquely different experiences. And just like the complexity of lovers, my Burn was magical, beautiful, intense, emotional, intoxicating, lustful, serendipitous, mesmerizing, and yes, sometimes just a pain in the ass.

Still, after all these years, it's my favorite thing on the planet! Playing on the bus is beyond an honor. Sharing my music and reciprocating energy from that perspective with the open canvas and unparalleled conditions is an indescribable feeling. What I'm trying to say is, it all comes from the Heart. 

Hope you enjoy!

Soup Flavored Blankets creates a welcoming and interactive space dedicated to the chilly, wandering souls of deep playa. Within the walls of our cracker box, participants will experience a rag tag team of Burners providing delectable hot soups, steaming libations and cozy blankets equipped with a convenient soup/beverage pouch. Playa wanderlust exists within all of us and Soup Flavored Blankets is your rejuvenation station along the way.
We're a multifarious crew of friends from Los Angeles, Reno, Chicago and New York who share a passion for soup and service. The SFB story stems from a brief moment many, many years ago, far beyond Black Rock City's Esplanade, on a frigid deep playa evening. There, gazing at the brothtaking sky and discussing the soupernatural, sat our founder, Noodles and his brother, Max. Although initially vibrant and jovial, their topic of discussion soon shifted to the bitter cold air and a desire for simple pleasures.

"I could sure go for a blanket right now. You know, warm me up from the outside in." Max remarked as he shivered in the deepest of deep playa.

"I could go for a bowl of soup to warm me up from the inside out!" Noodles replied.
Now what followed may be the worst idea ever uttered as Max suggested: "How about a bowl of blanket flavored soup?"
In a harsh tone, Noodles replied: "That's sounds disgusting! Who want's to eat soup that tastes like blankets!?"
Hours passed and their situation worsened. But suddenly, a dusty thought shot out of the Man's neon head, blew across the playa, swirled around the temple walls and shot directly into Noodles's noggin as an idea of spectacular brilliance.
"Some Soup Flavored Blankets, now that would be warmly delicious!" He proclaimed.
Max agreed! And the two brothers jumped to their feet, crossed the cold desert floor and returned to camp to procrastinate for seven years.
As veteran burners we understand the significance of your trash fence quest and the sometimes difficult elements you encounter. Soup Flavored Blankets is a warm soupy refuge and our gift to the many wandering souls of Burning Man.

Nikita - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

"Four days will quickly steep themselves in nights;
Four nights will quickly dream away the time.” 
2017 moved so fast, I could hardly believe it was once again time to prepare for our favorite time of the year, our return to Black Rock City, my 4th time in a row. Once again I was given the privilege of playing the bus with so many artists I respect and admire.

Being that this was Robot Heart's 10 year anniversary, I wanted to do something special. I have wanted to play a live set of all original music for quite some time, and decided this was the perfect opportunity to do it. So I sifted through all of my projects, old and new, finding the ones that I felt would resonate. Finally I came away with over an hour of brand new unreleased material including some collabs with some special friends (Thugfucker, Hands Free, and Dance Spirit). It was truly an honor performing this set to the Robot Heart family during the Man Burn, a moment I will never forget. I hope it resonates with you in some way.

"I am not a friend of over indulging when it comes to my own sets. 
While planning my Burn this year I just tried to let go of everything. Eventually this turned out to be some very moving days of my life. 
One special moment this year was at the Robot Heart bus on Sunday morning.  
Thank you to all who made this possible, who supported me on my ways and to all who shared my passion for music with me."
