I want to express the profound impact of my time in Oregon, particularly Williams, Oregon, where I found a deep connection with people who genuinely care about the earth. The safe and welcoming atmosphere I experienced with the ecstatic dance community there was transformative. People expressed themselves freely, danced, connected, and shared in ways that felt truly authentic.

In Eugene, Oregon, I was also embraced by a vibrant and expansive dancing community, and I met powerful witches, goddesses, and earth gods who created and shared in profound ways. My journey continued to Mt. Shasta, where the ecstatic dance community first welcomed me as an Ecstatic Dance DJ and as a brother. This experience forever impacted my well-being, filling me with a deep sense of love, respect, appreciation, and gratitude for the community and the life experiences we shared.

This set was scheduled to be played live in the PlayAlchemist Pyramid on Friday night of Burning Man 2023. Unfortunately due to the rains and mud, our programming was cancelled; but the music will go on!! Thank you Treavor for preparing this amazing set!

Personal note from Treavor: My PlayAlchemist set was by far gonna be my biggest set of the week. It simply wasn't meant to be as the rain shut down their camp for the day & night (big time sad face)! I spent a lot of time crafting this set with the vibe of this epic camp in mind and re-recorded it in hopes that the energy and vibe I intended can be captured a bit...this set was meant to be played from 12:30am to 2:30am so clearly I planned a bit more than that with the intention of playing the section(s) that felt best in the moment.

Hi! Here is the last hour of my opening set for camp Syncytium at 7:00 & Esplanade! It was an honor and a pleasure to be the first DJ on Syncytium's lineup!

This set was a complete free-style with zero pre. I discovered that I'm really, really good at mixing psytrance on the fly during this set. I hope you enjoy!! :)

Syncytium Psytrance Freestyle - Burning Man2023

When I got the email from Bubbles & Bass inviting me to perform this year I was so stunned and excited that teared up a little bit!  Performing here was something I have thought about since I first came to Burning Man 5 years ago.

I had the great honor and privilege of playing at Sunrise for the opening party!  We showed up at about 5:45 for my 6am set and no one was there yet.  But shortly thereafter, Russ, my "party manager" (love this) popped out and said he was there to make sure I had everything I needed and offered me coffee (great hospitality guys!).

I was so excited that we fired up the system a bit early.  I was planning to play uptempo, but the sun was just about to rise and I decided to open with a few emotionally soaring melodic tracks.  As soon as the first track started, beautiful people started appearing out of the desert like a mirage.   It was one of the most unique sets I played all week, journeying through melodic house, hip & afre.

Thank you so much to the crew at Bubbles & Bass doing what you do and inviting me to be a part of it - it was truly one of the highlights of my burn!

Tuesday night, two friends go the distance with a high energy set that leaves you wanting more.

Wow, what a night!  It was the second Sunday, after the rainstorm.  We were muddy, but ready to go!  The Transylvania Castle came to life.

I had the opportunity to perform inside the speakeasy on one of the best Funktion One systems I've ever heard.

The vampires came out to dance that night and the party was rocking until the Sun came up.

This Burning Man 2023 was extraordinary. For the first time, I witnessed unique weather patterns I'd never seen in previous years. There was sunshine, there was rain, creating an absolutely diverse vibe, making this an unusual Burning Man experience. Part of this set was played there, capturing those moments. After Burning Man, back in Seattle, we threw an Afterburn party where I played another part of this set. I've combined these into one, bringing together the essence of both experiences. Hope you enjoy it!

DJ Marvhell (also known as Pierre) is a long time member of PlayAlchemist. He is from Montreal, Canada and is a member of our core build team and part of our beautiful alchemist family. He played this set he created in our lounge on Tuesday at 11pm-1am. 

Here are some words from him:
"Being part of the PlayAlchemist family is an ongoing experience. We communicate through many WhatsApp groups, and one of them is “PlayAlchemist Integration” aims to reconnect once a month in order to share our experience in integrating our Burn into our daily lives and also to create intentions for the Burn to come.

During our March 2023 call, I expressed my desires and intentions to spin more often (as a DJ). And Burning Man, as a majestic generator of synchronicity that amplifies our intentions, has given me 5 mind-blowing opportunities to spin. So I played on Porta Party art car, Orgy Dome, Fluffy the Cloud twice (with El Pulpo Magnifico) and PlayAlchemist Lounge.

I share this PlayAlchemist set, performed in the incredible living room, with certain vulnerability because I created it in memory of our brother, Blake. The set has an ecstatic twist that begins at 88 BMP and ends at 127.  It creates a journey with different emotions in honor of this incredible man who touched me with his incredible generosity.

Enjoy!"

This set is from Save The Robot, played live in the pyramid on our opening night on Monday Aug 28. We had an unlisted opening lineup comprised of only of our talented, PlayAlchemist artists (that camp with us) and we were lucky to have our dear brother Ido, grace the decks!

Hi, I’m Omer Karpel.
A house music producer and DJ with a deep passion for creating tracks that connect people through rhythm and energy. My journey began during my university days, organizing unforgettable parties and discovering the magic of bringing people together through sound.

Having lived in Berlin, the city’s vibrant nightlife and unique scene profoundly shaped my love for electronic music. These experiences inspired me to dive deeper into producing my own music—exploring, refining, and sharing sounds that capture the spirit of the night.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my work, and I’m always excited to connect with fellow music lovers. Let’s keep the vibe alive!

Smile and have fun :)

Hi everyone, my name is Kostya Garmash, DJing under the name Costas. Originally from Ukraine, I have been living in Seattle, Washington for 9 years. My inspiration to start DJing came after attending Burning Man in 2018, where I was captivated by the incredible DJs and electronic music I discovered there. Listening to talented DJs on iconic sound systems like Mayan Warrior, Robot Heart, and Maxa inspired me to create my own mixes. A year after Burning Man, I began actively pursuing DJing. Currently, I play styles such as Organic House, Tech House, and Melodic Techno. In Seattle, I run a music project called Another, where we host events featuring various talented DJs who share our passion for electronic music.

I've been a huge fan of music (and dancing) throughout my life.  Although I'm originally from San Francisco, I lived in Europe as a teenager in the 90s, where I was introduced to early techno and house music.  As an adult, I started attending underground parties where I discovered a wonderful, vast universe of creativity in music.

I love to incorporate a variety of genres into my mixes, including progressive/deep house, disco, hip-hop, and breakbeats.  Some key influences include:
@leeburridge
@spacecowboys
@robot-heart
@dirtybirdrecords
