Well *that* was something else. Truly.

This was the fourth successive year I'd played a sunrise on the Playa with my most excellent friends at the Nutz camp, and this year *everyone* upped the bar. The One Series (my vehicle for DJs to express themselves fully through uber-long sets) effectively sprang out of the love & passion for these ethereal mornings at Burning Man, so it seemed fitting that this would become One Playa Sunrise.

As with every year the sun was shining, everyone wore a vast, passionate smile with wonderful sights & sounds filling the air. We were joined by The Dusty Rhino & Painkiller, along with most of Distrikt. It was the perfect morning.

At the end, six intensely wonderful hours later, I dissolved into tears, not for the first time this week & the dancefloor submerged me. 

I hope it takes you there.

The One Series [BMN003] - Simon Shackleton - One Playa Sunrise @ Nutz Camp - Burning Man 2013

I've always been a huge fan of longer set times as it enables me to fully tell my stories without any boundaries, which is why the concept of Flow Sessions deeply resonated with me early on. I deep dived in my library for days and after everything was set, I've just let it flow in my studio for 3 hours 33 minutes and 33 seconds, fluently grooving to higher BPMs, playing some of the most beautiful tracks I've collected over the years. Some hidden gems, some long forgotten beauties, a few new unreleased tracks of mine... I hope you flow as much as I did while recording this and it makes the upcoming autumn and winter months a little more bearable to you if you're based in the northern hemispheres. If you're to be found in the southern hemispheres I hope it makes you smile to the sun and appreciate life and music to the fullest. Isn't music such a beautiful thing?!

Flow Sessions 087 - Fabian Krooss

I was given the honor of playing for @opulentchillmusic at 5pm on burn night (Saturday) at this year's Burning Man. I contemplated leaving the event when driving a friend to Reno on the Thursday before but had spent more than a month collecting and cultivating some music and returned to BRC beyond excited to play... until the weather took a turn for the worst and forced me to miss my set while sheltering in place (you may have seen the news).

A friend and I spent more than eight hours exiting the city (the time it took to reach actual road/pavement) yesterday, and I'm beyond grateful to be home. I wanted to record a mix while my feelings about the past few days and our shared experiences (trauma bonding?) were still fresh. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much to Opulent Chill for the opportunity to play and to the amazing friends who took me in when it was clear that my tent situation was not going to work with the incoming weather. Photo from just after visiting this year's Temple and getting caught in three different white outs in the process 🙃

Burning Man 2023 for Opulent Chill [September 2023]

Part of my favourite 80's remix set played at Camp Soul Shakers, 3:30 and E on Sunday at Burning Man 2023. Where over 1200 people gathered over 12 hours despite the weather and the muddy conditions we blasted on!! Thanks to all that came.

Street Party Burningman 2023

Saturday, 7am, G camp, Burning Man 2024

Kotoe, Madmotormiquel and myself (Nacho Isa) take on the decks for the last G camp party of the week. The rest is history. A wild morning into the afternoon. Ten hours of ups and downs. 

If you were there you know what we are talking about. If you weren't this will give you an idea of what that morning was.

Thanks to everyone that came to support us and in particular to all the Gs that were a key component to the magic of the day.

"This is my Saturday sunset set from the Pink Mammoth camp at this year’s Burn. A moment I look forward to all year. There’s something special about watching the sky melt into firelight as the dance floor comes alive. Pink Mammoth is more than a camp, it’s home, it’s family, it’s a pulse I’ve been in rhythm with for years. The energy at sunset is magnetic, always a challenge for me to stop playing. Yet, as the final tracks fade, we all feel the call. The pull toward the burn of the Man. l begin already looking forward to next year together.
I hope this mix carries a bit of that magic for you, wherever you are." - Marques Wyatt

We are excited to have Marques joining us at our sunset party in Los Angeles October 17th.

Charesian - Echoes (Original Mix)

The dust blew in hard. Relentless. All Burn long. Destroyed pretty much everything. Beautiful it was.
There was true love, crushing loss, epiphany, change.

We were challenged, confronted, baffled, amused.

It threw us curveballs, softballs, thrashed our weary minds to the point of burnout.

In the middle of this Carnival of Chaos, were the twin techno towers of DISTRIKT, letting fly with winning smiles, throbbing bass, passionate hugs, rainbow tears and a sense of unity through the beauty of the beat.

We wore black. And we fucking rocked.
