GALLiVANTER @ MEZCAL AMORES | OAXACA EXPERIENCE | 04.03.2022 |  MEXICO

This was my 10th proper Burn (not including the super special Free Burn.) I was on playa for 14 days total. Participating in the build, the magic and tear down. The dust and the heat were intense, creating the perfect storm for remembering the extremes of Black Rock City. But even with all of nature's surprises the “show” still pushed forward and ultimately we all had the adventures we needed.

I was fortunate to have a romantic adventure partner whom I was falling for deeply. We had met 4 months prior and both knew the playa could possibly shift or solidify our foundation. After a reflective Tuesday night, I found myself at the temple during Wednesday’s sunset and thought “I want her to show up here.” Behold my beating heart - 15 min later she came around the corner smiling and said “hello.” We embraced and gazed deeply into each other’s eyes. At that moment I knew I was all in… The playa adventures to follow were the sweetest of sweet!

During my burn night set, she sat on my booth monitor as I played from the heart. We shared tender moments as some lyrics hit home for us. I chose music that reminded me of life, love and dust. My hopes were it would do the same for others. Two of my favorite memories were when I played a track with the lyrics “falling for you” and the man fell. And the track that followed - I’ll let you figure out why ;)

This musical journey is a mix of tunes found by me and gifted by friends.
Special thanks to Justin, RY X, Illich, Rocky, Opal and Dio for bringing these tracks into my life. This set is a bit different than what I’m used to playing, but in the end, it encapsulates how I felt.  

And to my camp, Robot Heart: What we continue to create in the dust is pure love & beats. Our old double-decker with one of the best sound systems in the world has so much soul. I am grateful for all our efforts to make it happen year after year. Thank you to all the dusty friends in front of the bus that bring the spice!  

And to that special human that said hello to me 7 months ago (May 13th) on the dance floor. Meesh you 💕

XO,
Dill aka "Dusty Pickle"

John Dill - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2022

“On sacred Colombian territory we entered a challenging and rewarding adventure that will help us deconstruct limiting beliefs to access and ignite our authentic self.” (Re-treated)

It was night time and the full-ish moon was smiling down as the river flowed and all the creatures made their distinct sounds. A fire warmed our bodies as music feed our souls. 

Inspired by the human experience that unfolded in a beautiful container surrounded by Mother Nature. This set was a celebration of the journey’s ending … or was it the just beginning ;) I was in a complete flow state, I knew two tracks I wanted to start with and two towards the end. Tunes were pulled from many different pockets of my collection.

On the property was an amazing labyrinth. Our journey and realizations through it weaved their way into this set. I later googled life and labyrinth and found this:  

“Our life path can be viewed as a labyrinth guiding us to deeper meaning and fulfillment. Walking a labyrinth takes us through numerous twists and turns that symbolize the ebb and flow of life. Like the design of a labyrinth, what looks like an end point in life can also be a beginning point.” (link below)

I’m now obsessed with labyrinths!!! Thus the title of this release.

Special thanks to the Re-treated family 001 - “Class” of Feb 2023 - Santa Marta - Colombia! Your love and energy brought this set to life. Eternally grateful to each of you!  

Let’s keep dancing together ❤️💪

Life as a Labyrinth - Santa Marta - Colombia - Feb 9 2023

The thing I love most about Burning Man is no matter how much you think you've prepared, you still never really know what to expect. The uncertainty, the excitement, the apprehension, and sometimes even the fear of what's just around the corner is what keeps so many of us coming back every year with a renewed childlike wonder - a feeling that seems to slip away as we get older. Sometimes everything goes right, and sometimes things just go wrong. 2014 was a mixed bag for me with some high highs (spending time with amazing people, getting to DJ in the best place in the world, seeing some incredible forms of expression) and low lows (namely falling hard on my back off of a see-saw putting me in constant pain for the entire week - it even hurt to laugh!)...but at the end of the day, I got exactly what I bargained for and couldn't ask for anything more: I experienced the unexpected.

In contrast to the previous two years on the bus, this year I played first on Friday night and took a little sonic stroll around different sounds and moods to open the night before Bedouin beautifully escalated the night into proper party mode...Pardon any sloppy mixing, we can just blame that on my aching back :)

Thanks to everyone who was there early in the night to catch my set, and thanks to everyone listening at home, Robot Heart, and Dr Burridge for the continued support over the years...Having the opportunity to do what I do is such a great gift from all of you.

Atish - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

If you've been to an MBTS night, you know that I like to set up the night from the beginning. Opening with an empty dance floor, and setting the tone for the night. This set is a recording from the first hour of a recent MBTS night. Hope you catch these 'early grooves' on the next one: January 18th, Outer Heaven, NYC.

M.B.T.S.(Most Below The Surface) Opening Hour

No where on earth are you able to feel selflessness as you do at Burning Man.  Another year of having the honors of playing Robot Heart, I'm reminded of this.  Our Robot Heart family deserves our love and gratitude for creating such important and pivotal musical moments in all our lives and so do the artists that recorded the music you're about to hear.  I can only hope that this hour and a half of music might convey just a fragment of what this means to me personally.  

Thank you for listening!

Welcome to my private parts. Consider the first hour of this mix a gentle sexy warmup and ice breaker. The second hour is a sweeping soundtrack to sweaty efforts, and the third hour is a deep exploration into very high territory. 

Happy exploring!

Six years since the last chapter of everyone's favorite Scumfrog mix series, it is finally time to introduce volume 6 of Friends With Boats! The series that was inspired by a sailing trip in 2007, and slowly navigated the ever changing sounds of Electronic sunsets, continues with a carefully selected bag of tunes that were released at any point during the past 6 years, and deemed worthy for this mix. As with the other volumes in the series, Friends With Boats is best enjoyed as the sun sets, out in the open, with libations and friends, ideally on the open water. Enjoy the summer, wherever you are!

The Scumfrog - Friends With Boats Vol.6

maximus

On Sunday April 12th as a special gift for Sandy Hill’s surprise birthday, a group of her favorite DJ friends created epic mini sets to be played on the night of the zoom easter bunny extravaganza. 
You could feel the love and magic in the air that night with smiles radiating from all of those who were present to celebrate this special moment in time. 
A beautiful reminder that music is the universal glue that keeps us together no matter what. Hope you all enjoy this historical set, when we danced as one across the 7 seas. Blended by Bloem.
