Thrilled to be participating in my dear friend Kelsey's grand experiment to create "a collaborative soundtrack to one full glorious day of life--start to finish."

This mix is the soundtrack I've imagined for the golden hour between 6-7pm (18:00-19:00), when the light is vivid and saturated and the shadows are stretched. This hour is one long, cathartic exhale after basking in the sunshine... and by the end of it, the sky has become dark and the air brisk.



tim wood - golden exhale (18:00 - 19:00)

This mix tells a story of afternoons on the water with nothing but waves, horizon, and a connection to all fellow creatures of the sea.

We start out submerged and slowly build our energy, carried by an ever stronger tide. We dive below the surface and jump for air, playing as a dolphin would. Halfway through our journey, we meet a divine ocean goddess and celebrate her energy. All experiences are temporary; as an ecstatic moment fades, a sense of loss lingers in its absence. But that loss shows the way to freedom. Fulfilled and blessed, we return home to the beach and fall down to the earth to lie in the glory of the sun in its final hours of warmth.

Love and gratitude to my muses and mentors.

21:00-22:00 is a transitional hour. You could be doing anything - settling down with a book, getting ready for the night ahead, hard at work. I wanted to explore the possibilities that lie within an hour whose definition is mutable. Left turns abound.

Recorded on turntables, vinyl and vinyl control, and Rane MP2015.

21:00-22:00 / Where To?

Every year, our camp, “The Monks of Funk,” puts on it’s annual gathering: “Wednesday Night Worship.” This is a night when the various microcosms of Burning Man that comprise our community unite under an unspoken camaraderie. We look at it one of two main homecoming events (the other being Short Stack’s Tutu Tuesday.) 


This year, everything came together so perfectly that it felt like a showcase of every single Monk’s talents. The Dance Church was renovated this year by Trip, Chris, Thomas, and Marko with flaming flying buttresses creating space where people could interact without competing with the sound - a perfect balance between revelry and relaxation. Golden chandeliers, warm white lighting, and Rob’s psychedelic visual projection art completed the feeling. On the dancefloor, an upgraded soundsystem filled the entire church with a punchy, warm choons.


Behind the decks, Maryna made her first ever appearance DJ debut, opening up the night with a slow-motion techno and house set that had everyone moving - and asking who was playing. Next was an energetic, exuberant, uplifting house set from fellow Monk, Alex Lee, a new face this year who got everybody's hands up in the air and feet off the ground. SkyFish followed up by plunging into the deep and resolving with a melodic and dreamy bookend. Afterwards, Ben Gleitzman brought it home with a melange of house, disco, funk, R&B and hip hop - so good that the crowd wouldn’t let him leave before three encore tracks (and two sticks of Palo Santo).


What really stands out each year about Wednesday Night Worship is how beautifully present and alive the night is for us. Expectations are often so central to people’s burning man experience. You spend 358 days out of the year thinking of what you’re going to build, do, try, and experience at next year’s burn - and yet sometimes, letting go of expectations is what opens you up to the most unforgettably magical experiences.


Likewise, most of the year, our curated sonic journeys, gatherings, thematic storylines, and workshops really represent what we’re trying to do overall with the SkyFish project. We’re not ‘just DJs’ in the traditional sense - for every hour spent behind the decks, we spend 15-20 more hours planning everything that goes on during our gatherings. Yet on Wednesday Night Worship, we go into it with zero expectations and no advance planning of what or how we’re going to play. We perform as an open channel between the crowd's energy and our love of music, fully encompassing our three core principles: music, nature, human interaction. And every year, it’s better than the last.
