Back home from Out of the Blue and missing the music? Trying to find that set you listened to? Don't stress! Find your favourite sets and DJS! These are all the sets (on Soundcloud) as they are released by the artists. To make it easiest, I arrange the sets alphabetically by soundstage (ish). 

Had a great night at Space Cowboys - head down to "S" for Space Cowboys
Want to relive meeting the love of your life at The Flying Dutchman - head down to "F" for Flying Dutchman.
Use intuition and be guided by your dusty heart.
(The Rhino could be under "R" for Rhino, "L" for Loki the Rhino, or "S" for Loki the Rhino at Space Cowboys!)

Where I couldn't figure out the soundstage, I grouped sets alphabetically (ish) at the end of the playlist

Don't give up. Artists will release their 2025 sets right up until about the month (or three days) before AB 2026 kicks off.

One (dusty, fiery) love!

It felt very special to play on an artwork I helped build, deep in the South African desert. The sculpture—a pregnant woman lying on her back— represented a symbol of peace and unity. A place of rebirth. A space for transformation and release.

I wanted to play a downtempo set that honored that feeling. It is a compilation of some of the tracks that touched me the most since discovering downtempo in 2020 (including one of the very first downtempo track I ever danced to).

Tarantella @ AfrikaBurn 2025 (8th Day of Creation)

SHMIKESSS is a Cape Town based cinematographer, DJ, live performer and producer that has always been drawn to the immersive narrative of the audio visual experience. It shows in his music taste - guiding listeners through a profound journey of soundscapes. Inspired by a deeper psychological narrative of collective consciousness, he aims to create sounds (and imagery) that celebrate the magnificence of life in all its forms. SHMIKESSS' sound is a dynamic fusion of groovy, racey, bouncy beats and rolling bass lines, shifting effortlessly between ethereal moments and bursts of pure, high-energy euphoria. As well as his individual act, he also performs as one half of @thelostboysza duo.

In a short time, SHMIKESSS has seen rapid evolution and growth in his productions,  first releasing on legendary Berlin label - Katermukke and its sister label MUKKE, then with releases on South African labels Back To Funk and Imprint. He's since co-launched Tomorrow's Monday Records (@tmrwsmdy), fostering community among Cape Town's growing scene and bridging it with a global network. SHMIKESSS is patiently honing his sound, new productions and live sets while looking to align with the right labels. His distinct sound and contagious energy has quickly launched him as a DJ, artist and events co-ordinator around many festivals in South Africa, as well as abroad in Hawaii and Germany.
