This a set recreated from what I played at Opulent Temple, Wednesday Night @ 2:30AM - Burning Man 2022 - Sacred Dance ('the white party'). These are the tracks in the order that I played them and mixed far better than how I mixed them live.  Yep, no shame here.  I came on after John Summit played a roaring 2 hour prime time set. I was told "it met the moment", given that Carl Cox and John Summit played back to back before I stepped on. 

Expect big rolling psy infuenced bassline production. Some soulful infused lyrics and melodic chord progressions throughout.

BRIAN PEEK - 2022 BM WHITE PARTY @ OPULENT TEMPLE

Richard Mixon on Saturday night was pandemonium! The OT resident sets the dancefloor free with an hour of groove on burn night. Touches of his signature sounds of disco house throughout this otherwise banging, edgy mix will bring you right back into the dusty arena of fire.

Syd Gris & Vulcan B2B Fresh Start 2023

Opening for Nora en Pure at a sold out show at Midway is a very specific mission.  Keep the steady deeper side house vibez going without hot dogging it, and keep it interesting for a packed big room.  I started and ended keeping it fairly dreamy and pretty, but played with all kinds of subtle interesting tracks in the middle.  These deeper sets have better re-listen value than the prime time movers, so I hope you enjoy.  Make sure and catch the brilliant new and unreleased track by the Scumfrog at the end.  Nora's tour manager made me fade out my last track before it was done but added the rest for posterity and because it's f'ing brilliant.  Let me know what you think.

Syd Gris - Live at Midway 2/25/23 (Opening For Nora En Pure)

Live from 2/25/23 set opening for Oakey on the patio.

Oakenfold was my gateway DJ to dance music, and is a legend and a gentlemen.  Gives me a great opportunity to play differently than my normal sets to go way more energetic and melodic progressive house (aka 'melodic house and techno') and trancey. I used to regularly direct open for Tiesto, Armin, Ferry and others and still love this music,int he right moment, which this was.  : )

Let me know what you think.

Syd Gris - Live on Midway Patio (Oakenfold Opener)

A magical epic night with a 3-hour peak time main stage b2b2b supporting the fabulous Giola & Assia. Airpusher DJs Nisene, Queen Lisa, and Abuelita enraptured the crowd at 1015 Folsom hitting ALL the notes... indie dance, melodic house and techno, some breakbeat and tribal grooves, and even a few hands-in-the-air moments. Buckle up and L.F.G.
