“When the sun sets over the playa, the freaks come out to play. For this occasion, as is tradition, DISTRIKT and Robot Heart joined forces and tied up their sound systems for one of my favorite parties I have yet witnessed at Burning Man. Something special happened that day. Playa magic.”

As a DISTRIKT resident and member of their playa family since the Deep End days, I always look forward to the energy and community on the DISTRIKT dance floor. Every year is unique and brings me the inspiration and challenge to bring a driving narrative of playa vibes that are fresh and reflect what a DISTRIKT set means to me. I’m loving the new location at the tip of the world and hope this recording takes you all back to that beautiful Monday night!

For me, Burning Man signifies entering a dimension of freedom and maximum expression, a place where I can take risks but also the ideal spot to play my favorite music, not necessarily dance music. I remember finishing my set at the camp where I had set up, then biking under the scorching sun towards DISTRIKT. A pleasant sandstorm swept over me as I pedaled to reach the opposite side of the playa... the magic fueled by a small bottle of mezcal and there I am at the controls of one of my favorite sound camps... I cherish these moments, the scents, the embraces, the gazes, and smiles of the audience. Music is magic, but even more so, a mystery!

I felt the biggest honor to play Monday sunset at DISTRIKT for Burning Man 2023; their parties were a highlight of my first (2022) burn. The day was scorching, and I was still mentally adjusting to the playa having just traveled from Thailand two days prior. I went into the set without a plan (as always) but with an intention - balancing fun and emotion. I tested quite a bit of unreleased tracks and edits, as there is no better place to push your boundaries than the playa. As the sun began to set, the temperature cooled, and the energy of the crowd went through the roof. I’ll never forget this stunning evening.

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!

What an awesome vibe heading back to Burning Man and playing DISTRIKT in their new home; that I think, is much better for everyone to enjoy. I'm really looking forward to getting back this year and playing more funky, Afro beats, and classic house for you all. But until then, here’s my set from last year…Enjoy it and TURN IT UP! 😎❌🔥

It has been a real honor to play at Camp DISTRIKT for the very first time in a year of complete novelty for several reasons: a new location right on the edge of the playa with almost nothing around it, giving it a truly special feeling. Also, it was a sunset to nighttime slot that was debuted with my set and those of my colleagues... and on a day when Carl Cox and Sharam had performed before me. A real challenge. That's DISTRIKT—once the first track plays, the crowd's energy takes over and the session flows effortlessly. An absolute delight. Looking forward to returning.

This past visit to the Black Rock Desert in 2023, my wonderful friends at the Groundswell camp invited me to come play a guest set on the Kuker art car. As anybody who knows me can tell you, DJing on art cars and DJing at DeMentha are my two very favourite things to do at TTITD, so naturally I jumped at the opportunity. This was the set I played that Tuesday night in the deep playa. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Hope you enjoy!

Huge thanks to the Groundswell crew for inviting me, especially Esteban and Maggie who orchestrated it, Suave who was crucial in connecting the dots, and Juanito who kept the monster moving! And big shoutouts to the other DJs that night who all played some incredible tunes!

Yaz // Live on the Kuker Art Car // BM2023

A prime memory from our first Burn in 2019 is dancing at DISTRIKT for a Robot Heart tie-up with a big group of friends, full of joy and awe and acting like goofballs. That year we had camped at 10&K. Flash forward four years later, we found ourselves opening up DISTRIKT's 2023 season in their new home at 10&K. So much has changed in four years, both globally and personally as we've moved into the creation part of our electronic music journey instead of just being appreciators.

One thing that hasn't changed a bit is the joy and awe we feel being present in the dust with thousands of our closest friends and bringing those memories home with us each year as fuel. Thank you to DISTRIKT for giving us the opportunity to experience such a beautiful full-circle moment. These tunes are all about setting the groove as you begin a new journey.

Much love,

Yaz has played all over San Francisco at all the major venues, including Public Works, Mighty / The Great Northern, Monarch, Midway, and Halcyon. He was a resident DJ at the venerated Wish Lounge for 5+ years, running his monthly Wayward party right up until the pandemic caused Wish to close.
