As always, it was a huge privilege to welcome DEVi back to Space Cowboys for her Friday midnight set that set things on fire, from deep house to RnB and techno - she knows what's what 🔥


DEVi: "It's always a burn highlight to drive the @youknowthespacecowboys spaceship 🗝🛸

This year I wanted to create something unique and special for this set. Where it landed was

🔥 Erotic Tendencies - The Space Cowboys Edition 🔥 

》Erotic Tendencies : my mixtape series at the intersection of eros, filthy lyrics, and a solid 4x4 beat

》Space Cowboys : The long-standing burn alien spaceship of alwaysupforit cowboys and cowgirls. 🤠

The first hour (we started slow) reads like a naughty conversation between almost lovers... whispers to make you blush, conveyed between fiery eyes, and into the nape of a neck, on a heaving steamy dancefloor. 

The second hour we segued into the pulse of the night,  which - being Friday and after midnight - was driving and hungry. 

I had fun weaving this one. 🕸
Ignore the glitches 🪁🪁and enjoy 😎 x"

On one of those perfect temperature balmy desert Thursday nights, with burns happening all around us, I had the absolute treat of playing at Ubuhlanti / Bridges for Music stage 🔥

Topped off with the tornado burn of the Tree of Stories, it was just the most insane cosmic dreamy night at the burn. Deep gratitude for the magic of life and for spaces where we can come together to connect in unity through music, art and sharing from the heart 🌪️

In her words: "For a theme camp to haul a huge sound system, their decor and everything else up to the desert, to tune those speakers, and have them actually work despite the dust storms, to communicate with all the DJs without signal, and to put on a stellar show like this takes a thousand little things going right.

The Space Cowboys have been doing it for years and they do it well, so it was with a full heart and a lot of honour that I got to play my version of a “Space Cowboys Set”. It’s faaaaaaaaar from perfect, but it’s 100% burn magic and it was WILD.

Special thanks to Johnno the Rhino for making a video of this whole thing, and to Ant, for fixing my wings mid-show (and being willing to do a lot more!)"

Serendipitously ended up playing Afrohouse on the epic Tulpa car during the burn of the Umkhati; an art work by local artist Neo. This was due to a technical issue during my set the night before, It all came together in the most spectacular way #playamagic!

AfrikaBurn 2024 MiniMix - Playful World Beats

During late hours under the clear starry skies of the Tankwa, there isn’t really any good reason to not let completely loose and throw down beats dropping harder than a farmer with a new crop. Especially when you happen to be doing it in celebration of the the great pride and glory and the very totem of gooi-ing mielies itself.

Thanks to the Scallywags for your dedication to showing us the light in the art of throwing those corns like there’s no tomorrow. For making me dig into my late night music vibes, which is always suuuch a pleasure. Who knew that corn could be so conducive to channelings of dirty beats and healing dance moves?

[For those of you unfamiliar with what “Gooi Mielies” means, it’s a South African expression for “throwing corn” which may sound really odd, but it actually in a more metaphorical sense means to “give it your absolute all”.]

It all started with Burning Man. The playa took me behind the decks to share the love of music.
