This was the first ever sunrise set at DISTRIKT and our first visit to DISTRIKT.
Together with everybody who was present, we had a musical flight that took off in pitch black darkness and soared into the rising orange sun. It was a unique experience and certainly one we’ll never forget. Thank you for dancing and sharing this moment together!

Kruder & Dorfmeister - DISTRIKT - Burning Man 2023

Sunrise is my favorite way to describe the magic of Burning Man.

There are 365 sunrises each year, and most of us consider it a privilege to sleep through them. But during one week at Burning Man the attendance of sunrise is a must. In the desert, as a collective, we make things that are otherwise ordinary occurrences into sacred spectacles. We make costumes for the sunrise, we compose music for it, and we go through death-defying stunts to take incredible pictures of it. And so it goes with many things at Burning Man; things that we take for granted in the real world are treated differently on the playa. It is not just the rising of the sun that we elevate to mythical proportions, but human traits like kindness, patience, uncertainty and flexibility are also celebrated, tested and recharged in Black Rock City.

Through audio and video captures, these extraordinary treatments of ordinary things stand a chance to be implemented in the outside world, not just for those who were there, but also to people who never traveled to Burning Man, and who - through these captures - are reminded that certain basic things in life can hold more value if we so choose. With every unusually nice thing that someone did or said to us at Burning Man, with every unprovoked smile we received from strangers in its dust storms, we will be charged and challenged to pay that spirit forward the other 51 weeks of the year.  And every morning, the sun will faithfully show its face to remind us of this opportunity.  

So, the next time we need to set our alarm clocks because real life responsibilities demand us to be awake before dawn, let’s choose to be grateful for witnessing the sun peek over the horizon or through our concrete jungles, while most other people are sleeping through it, and let’s remember that we are ambassadors of that magical place that celebrates the beauty in ordinary things. 

Today is a good day to be awake!

The Scumfrog - 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.

The Jungle Radio Mix by Leo Leonski

Thanks to all the happy faces who stayed up all night or who set their dusty alarm clocks to come and dance with us Wednesday morning. Having been on the other side of the speakers for many a sunrise it was a treasured moment to play this music, which holds a lot of emotions for many of us.

We want to thank Fleetwood Mac for the original magic and Robot Heart for creating the opportunity to crank it loud and proud. The edits and remixes included were created by us (Roxanne Roll and Smooth Sailing) and many of our producer friends who we’d like to thank for their work and passion: Psychemagik, In Flagranti, Antenna Happy, Twin Sun, Dean Kenny, Youth Edits, Cosmic Kids and Trail Mix.

We hope you can feel the warm sunshine and hearts, see the great expanse of desert and feel that all possibilities are open to you when you listen to this mix. These were the wonderful feelings we had while we were playing. 

Big Love

Absolutely delighted to have The Scumfrog on Sunset Grooves. One of our all time favorite DJs and producers who can easily switch from upbeat grooves to chill out vibes to original classics is everything we strive for at Sunset Grooves. The 5th edition of his series "friends with boats", he kindly suggested to publish it on our podcast considering the grooves that flow throughout this mix is perfect for that sun setting in the background.

Not only a music lover he is a wonderful soul, down to earth, who is ready to talk about any subject with a big smile on his face! For that we would like to say thank you for this exceptional mix. Starting off with some slower grooves, you will quickly feel an ascending build of energy that progresses right until the end of the mix.  A journey with tracks that will make your head bob from side to side while sipping a tasty drink to tracks that boast energy to make you lift your hands in the air with your eyes closed. Enjoy.......

Even though I recorded this mix in my small New Zealand quarantine hotel room, ‘the lagoon’ is a very real place. Last time this year, a small group of friends and I threw a secret bonfire moonrise party at this undisclosed location and I played a set there. This year I can sadly not be there, but I recorded a set with the event in mind. The result is over two and a half hours of eclectic psychedelic sounds. Channel your own inner lagoon the way I did over the past two days putting this set together. 
Much love to all my friends scattered around the world. Happy New Year,  and stay strong! (watch footage from last year here: https://youtu.be/LZFTI_Yr62o )
