Arkana means "to protect" in the language of the Shipibo indigenous tribes in the Ucayali region of the Amazon River basin, who are considered the caretakers of the jungle. Come with me on a journey into the Amazon Rainforest and let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

On a dusty Thursday night in Black Rock City, ELEMENTUM's decks were graced by Off in LALA. The dance floor was full, the mezcal was flowing and hundreds of vibrant souls convened under the canopy for a night of funky melodies and hard-hitting basslines.

Playing on a deep playa art car at Burning Man is an unforgettable experience. Starting in the 'town' on a moving art car, going direction deep playa followed by hundreds of bikes around you, to finally arrive in the middle of the desert and see the dance floor filling up. Unique.

This is the reason I wanted to publish this set here, to have a shared memory of that moment. 

When playing abroad, it can be tempting to adapt your selection and to try to fit with the sound the crowd is expecting and used to. I chose to stick to my sound with lot of tracks that I carried with me this whole summer, and altho that set sounds radically different and slower than what you hear at Burning Man and in the USA in general, I received some great feedbacks and I was happy to slowly contribute to the expansion of our cherish sound on this side of the Atlantic. 

Thank you Oxana and the Bipolar Express crew for having me on your gorgeous stage. 

Big love to all of you and thanks for your support!

Peace <3

Sunrise at Deep Playa By Unrealeased Records (BN 2024)

Monday Night at Burning Man just after Sunset once again for the ever amazing Flaming Flamingos and The Illumination Village for the biggest poofer party on Playa. Once again it went boom.... went boom many times. Once again a totally unplanned journey playing to whatever was happening in front of me with visiting friends and art cars,  drone shows, fireworks and the constantly exploding propanes of the fire art all over the village created a very fluid dance floor and a very fun set. I Hope you enjoy the dusty feelings friends.

Here comes DEIF once again, with the lastest tunes from Burning Man 2024, close your eyes and feel the Playa vibes! The great Alfonzillo was playing live violin over the sets but unfortunately was not recorded.

We co-created a small Urban Burn exhibition with 3 art installations from local artists, live music, 6 DJ sets in the old factory museum TREPAT in Tàrrega, (1h west from Barcelona) in Catalonia. Promoting and expanding the Burning Man Culture, philosophy and principles to the local communities. The Book 'LOOPHOLE a dream come true' by Josep Giribet was also presented, with more than 200 pages of pictures, texts explaining the experience of bringing art to Burning Man. Around 1000 curious locals of all ages showed up and enjoyed and learned about the art, the music and the BM culture. Local Foodtrucks with local wine, food and drinks provided fuel to this fantastic event.

Big thanks for Èric Ruiz for the mastering.

"Shadows Become Sunfire Set"
Friday Morning, Burning Man 2024

Burning Man and its community have profoundly impacted us as artists for over seven years. Both Dave and I, Replicah, have been musicians since childhood, and it was Burning Man’s 365-day community that inspired us to become DJs during the pandemic.

After three years of playing at Burning Man camps, we had our debut on the Polaris Art Car in Deep Playa this year—a truly magical Friday morning. As we approached, the Polaris Art Car (https://www.instagram.com/polaristheartcar/) emerged from the night and dust like a rising star, meeting us and our Electric Cheese Land camp family, who were serving Swiss fondue out on the Deep Playa (check them out at https://www.instagram.com/electric_cheese_land/) during our set. The gathering took place at the Polychroma Art Installation (Rainbow) by In Theory Art Collective (https://www.instagram.com/in_theory_art/).

We played from the last dark moments of night into the magical awakening of the sun, reaching that peak moment as daylight broke, flooding Deep Playa with intense feelings. Anyone who’s been to Burning Man knows that profound moment. Our set was crafted as a journey—from the dark, intense force of a Burning Man night to the dawn of a new day and the magic of feeling truly alive, connected with every soul across the desert and the world.

So prepare yourself for a journey—When Shadows Become Sunfire.

Endless love to the Polaris Team, Electric Cheese Land, and the incredible In Theory Art Collective. Thank you so much Steph for organizing this magical Event. And thank you Mobama for the recording. ;-) Love you Bro. 

Yours truly,
Dave and Replicah

Shane was born in Australia but his music is born on the Island of Ibiza, a place very close to his heart and ingrained in his soul.
It was at his first ever job working in a cafe in on the Beach that he discovered the music that would lead him on an almost twenty year journey to the other side of the world and back again.
“ Each morning I would put out the tables listening to a disc that my boss had in the stereo. It was a new release from some strange place called Ibiza. Everyday I played it louder and louder in the mornings.
I was hooked from the start right there in that little cafe by the beach.”
That chance encounter with Ibiza continues to this day to drive Shane and his music is still inspired by his expeditions to the Island.
He has traveled and played in many countries and has been greatly influenced as a DJ by the variety of places and people.
None more than the Island of Ibiza.
For the last decade or so Shane has been making an almost annual pilgrimage to Ibiza and has played at Café Del Mar, Blue Marlin, Mambo, Space, Ushuaia & Kumharas amongst others. Closer to his heart is the hippy scene and the more underground side of Ibiza, the closest of which is the Sunset Ashram, his favourite place to lay down many a long set over the years. The Ashram at Cala Conta is arguably the most spectacular sunset venue on the planet.
“The tribal, spiritual and music loving culture of Ibiza moves me and I feel that’s the purest place to play music... The vibe of the music and the people that it attracts...those are my people.
We all get lost in the music for months.”
In more recent years Shane has been making the journey to play at Burning Man. The Burner culture and the sound of the Playa has captured his heart and sound and it is here you could say that now defines his music. Where as a DJ he has returned Home.
He is a founding member of Sunset Island a sound camp at Australia’s Burning Seed famous for their massive sunset parties.
Producer and radio broadcaster and half of the Electronic Duo Electric Zeus. Electric Zeus have released singles and remixes worldwide since 2011.
At home he can be found regularly playing at major festivals like Sub Sonic, Return To Rio, Electric Gardens and Burning Seed.
Most recently he was chosen as the 'plus 1' for Solomun when he came to Australia and they played for a 5000 capacity crowd.

Shane sets can flow effortlessly between Deep House and Progressive always Dramatic and always uplifting.

As a producer he has worked with longtime friend Steve Peacock to create and release music under the name Electric Zeus

Chronology of an ancient spirit who has been traveling throughout the centuries.

Collecting music and installing all the sounds in his way what this world exposes to him.
Now after many many lifetimes, this soul has mastered himself and become a music Jedi.

The times are here to heal your body with the power of love and melodies.

Step into the journey of the great Pyfel who has been carrying with him after many reincarnations from Indian tribes of Apache connections with buffalo herds who travel together all over Central America, 

Bedouin tribes who lived in the Sahara 
desert and walk together on the old Silkroad,
Indonesian tribes called Sundanese who have great knowledge to know any living animals language on this planet,

Buddhist monks in Angkor Wat temple in old Siam who have been holding the world peace in balance since the 15th century,

Indigenous people of Siberia called Yakut’s from the Kamchatka knowing everything about the planet and mother earth,

Vikings from Orisaare, Saaremaa who followed the stars, and Odin on the way to Valhalla where we all meet at the end to have the last dance together.

If you hear a sound of a buffaloes pack 🐃storming through the winds of life,
then u know you are alive my brothers and sister and just follow the rhythm 🥁 🎶

Joseph Lee is a celebrated DJ, producer, and community organizer whose career has been instrumental in shaping San Francisco’s electronic music scene. Known for his deep, soulful house music sets, Lee has captivated audiences across iconic venues, street fairs, and transformative gatherings such as Burning Man,. His contributions to the city’s cultural landscape extend beyond the dance floor—he played a key role in bringing the internationally renowned Love Parade to San Francisco, further solidifying the city’s reputation as a global hub for electronic music and community-driven events.

Early Beginnings

Joseph Lee discovered his love for music in the vibrant, eclectic atmosphere of San Francisco in the late 1990s. Drawn to the underground rave scene, he began DJing at intimate warehouse parties, honing his craft and developing a distinct style rooted in deep house. His sets became known for their emotional depth, seamless blending, and ability to create an inclusive, uplifting atmosphere on the dance floor.

Lee’s reputation quickly grew, and he became a regular fixture in San Francisco’s club scene, performing at legendary venues like 1015 Folsom, The EndUp, 177 Townsend, Bergerac, Monroe, Monarch and so many more. His commitment to creating community through music was evident from the start, as he often collaborated with local artists, fashion designers, dancers, musicians and visual performers to elevate the nightlife experience.

Burning Man and the Playa Soundtrack

Burning Man played a transformative role in Joseph Lee’s career and artistic vision. First attending in the late 1990’s, Lee found inspiration in the festival’s ethos of radical self-expression and community. He became a staple in the deep house camps on the Playa such as Robot Heart, Distrikt, Kalliope and The Luna Art Crane, crafting immersive, sunrise-to-sunset (and sunset to sunrise) sets that connected thousands of burners in shared transcendence. His ability to curate soundscapes that mirrored the desert’s vastness and beauty earned him a loyal following both at Burning Man and in the San Francisco music scene

Love Parade and Cultural Advocacy

One of Joseph Lee’s most significant achievements was helping to bring the Love Parade to San Francisco. Originally founded in Berlin, the Love Parade celebrates music, peace, and community, with thousands of people gathering for a massive dance procession through the streets. Lee’s vision and passion for electronic music led him to advocate for and organize the first-ever Love Parade in San Francisco in 2004, inspired by curating, building and doing on this 50 foot silver spaceship art car ‘float’ for SFPride in 2000.

His efforts helped adapt the event to the city’s unique character, blending the spirit of Berlin’s techno roots with San Francisco’s love of diversity and artistic expression.

The San Francisco Love Parade (later rebranded as LoveFest and then LoveEvolution) became one of the city’s most beloved annual events, drawing massive crowds and cementing the city’s reputation as a leader in electronic music culture. Lee’s role in bringing this event to life demonstrated his ability to merge his artistic talents with a deep commitment to community building and cultural advocacy.

Street Fairs, Golden Gate Park, and Public Spaces

Beyond the club circuit, Lee’s music often spilled into the streets and parks of San Francisco, creating accessible, free events that embodied the city’s inclusive spirit. He became a frequent performer at street fairs such as the Folsom Street Fair and Haight-Ashbury Street Fair, Castro street fair, Pink Saturday and Halloween in the Castro, where his sets brought people from all walks of life together in celebration.

Golden Gate Park was another favorite stage for Lee, where he organized and performed at outdoor gatherings that blended music, art, and nature. These events highlighted his dedication to making deep house music a shared, communal experience, breaking down barriers between artist and audience.

Legacy and Impact

Over the years, Joseph Lee has become a revered figure in the San Francisco music scene, not only for his technical skill as a DJ but also for his role in fostering a sense of connection and belonging through music. His commitment to deep house as a genre—marked by its soulful melodies, rich textures, and emotive rhythms—has inspired countless DJs and producers in the Bay Area and beyond.

By bringing the Love Parade to San Francisco, Lee left a lasting legacy that continues to influence the city’s electronic music culture. His work as a DJ and organizer has helped elevate San Francisco as a global destination for dance music, creativity, and community-driven events.

Today

Though the music industry and San Francisco itself have evolved over the years, DJ Joseph Lee remains a cornerstone of the city’s vibrant cultural scene. Whether behind the decks at a packed club, orchestrating pop up renegade parties with his mobile DJ Void sound system called the ‘Robo Kart’, a sunrise Playa set, or spinning at a community event in Golden Gate Park, Lee’s passion for music and connection shines through. His career is a testament to the transformative power of music and its ability to unite people across boundaries, one deep house beat at a time.

Yaz is a San Francisco-based DJ who enjoys playing tech house, deep tech, minimal, and techno. He is an active member of the Burning Man community and underground house/techno community in San Francisco.

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. Once it was safe to do so, he has taken Wayward to its new home F8 Nightclub, and has been a resident there since August 2021. 

Yaz has collaborated with many different promoters and labels, and has opened and closed for (or shared billing with) well-known artists including John Digweed, Bob Moses, The Scumfrog, Tommy Four Seven, John Monkman, Technasia, and Marques Wyatt, to name a few.

His love for Burning Man is only rivaled by his love for music. His styles go from deep tech, minimal and techno to indie dance. You can find him on the playa playing for his camp DeMentha, and everywhere else for The Janky Barge, Airpusher, and Icarus. Yaz has also participated in many fundraisers in San Francisco for the aforementioned camps, as well as DISTRIKT, Mayan Warrior, the Salty Jacks, and others.

In the early days of their legendary gatherings within the Burning Man community, DJs were rare in their circle. Instead of relying on an iPhone and a UE Boom, Replicah and Dave the Samurai—together known as ABOUT:BLANK—took the plunge, bought their first Pioneer controller, and began their journey. Their debut set at FAB in 2020 marked the start, drawing on Replicah’s experience as a composer, songwriter, and producer since her teenage years, alongside Dave’s multi-instrumental talents. They quickly found their rhythm as a DJ duo.

They couldn’t have imagined what lay ahead. Today, their community has flourished, hosting large-scale events filled with boundless creativity and inspiring artists. During lockdown, their need for connection led them to live stream, turning living rooms into virtual dance floors and bringing the party to a global audience via Stream and VR.

Their sets flow between tech house, indie dance, playa tech, and techno, blending mystical, heavy vibes with electrifying, sexy energy. 
Fans describe their sound as “where rainbow meets fire,” full of humor and unforgettable tracks.

From the deserts of Burning Man to intimate events and art & cultural festivals, ABOUT:BLANK ignites an unforgettable experience—one that promises to be felt deeply. It's hard to put into words, but those who've felt it once will never forget.
