From 5:30 am to around 9:30 am in the Tankwa Karoo national park, during the most incredible sunset with the most beautiful souls around me. I had the chance to give it my all on the playa. Thanks to everyone for all the support before, during and after my set. I was truly overwhelmed with all the beautiful things everyone said <3

AfrikaBurn 23' Camp WhyNot // 27.04.23

I played this set at our opening night at Camp WhyNot at Afrikaburn 2024 as a tribute to our beloved El Capitan who could not be with us this year. Thank you for sharing your music with me - it's been a pleasure to bring it to the playa ❤️

Afrikaburn 24: Mal.Da tribute to El Capitan - WhyNot opening party

Afrika Burn, what an intense experience❣️ At the beginning of the year I didn't even know that I was going there and then the @mbombo_ship gave me the opportunity to move up there as an artist🙏❤️ As a result, moving up resulted in one or two hurdles, but one after the other was overcome. However, overnight accommodation was no longer possible in the Mbombo Camp and so I was very grateful that the @campwhynot took us in as really latecomers🙏❤️ My two planned performances were the opening ceremony (which was really very loving) for the Mbombo Camp and a DJ set on their truck on the closing Sunday. 
Unfortunately, the DJ set didn't happen because the truck had a technical defect that couldn't be repaired on the last day😥 Luckily, two spontaneous slots for the Why Not Camp opened up during my stay there. Although these weren't exactly prime time, I was still very grateful to be able to get playtime there as a latecomer and so at least this recording is available here🙏 The recording was made one afternoon when I spontaneously took over the decks. During the course of my set it became increasingly stormy and a real sandstorm arose, which is why it was over again after two hours for safety reasons. Welcome to the desert of Tankwa Town / South Africa🤷‍♂️🤪 
If I were to report on all of my experiences there, I would go beyond the scope of this article. That's why I'm not going to go into it any further now, but instead let you share with me at least two hours of my time there with this set and my music🎶
Once again I would like to express my gratitude to the Mbombo Ship and the Why Not Camp for this opportunity and perhaps again in 2025🙏❤️

Now have fun with my music❣️

Feedback is aprecciated like always😉

Spontanes Wesen @ Why Not Camp // Afrika Burn 02/05/24

This wasn’t just a set. It was a confession in 125 BPM. A dream I've carried for years, finally cracked open under the stars.

Wednesday night at Camp Why Not, something clicked. The dust, the wind, the music, the madness - but mostly you. That crowd. That energy. That feeling of being held while taking a risk.

I played this set like it was a story of transformation, with its beauty, fears, and successes and cries of rage. From fear to fire, doubt to desire. And you danced it into something far bigger than me.

To Camp Why Not: thank you for making space for that magic. For making it possible. For making a dusty dream come true.

Play it loud. Play it barefoot. Play it when you need to remember that you don’t have to be ready - you just have to say: why not. 

With all my heart,
NotMax
