Burning Man 2023 Presents: ANIMALIA

Even amidst the desert rains, the pulsating beats never ceased at Burning Man 2023. Join me, Rafi Jerez, on a journey through the sands and stars as we relive the magic of that unforgettable night under the desert skies.

Special thanks to POC CAMP and Jaguara Occult for amplifying the energy and spirit of the playa.

Let the rhythms of melodic techno transport you to the heart of the desert, where the dust and dreams intertwine. From dusk till dawn, immerse yourself in the mystical aura of Burning Man as we dance, connect, and celebrate the essence of ANIMALIA.

Rafi Jerez - Live Melodic Techno Set @ Burning Man 2023

Rafi Jerez Presents: An Evening Of Fire And Dust

In shadows of dusk, two strangers found,
Amidst beautiful melodies, on sacred ground.
He held her gently, a tender refrain,
Her neck, his canvas, where love would reign.

From behind, he kissed, a secret delight,
As music evolved, their hearts took flight.
Lost in the rhythm, they swayed in time,
Hand in hand, fingers intertwined.

Emotions crescendo, like stars in the sky,
Invisible threads, their souls would tie.
The spotlight found them, a radiant gleam,
In their embrace, they forged a new reality.

Worlds around them disappeared,
In this dance of love, their hearts erupted.
Two separate lives converged under the moon's tender glow,
Under one embrace, both of their breathes became whole.


Written and Performed by Rafi Jerez.

Finally, I re-recorded my set at the Burning Man on the Bipolar Express. Hard to describe all the joy and the honour to play on this art car. Thanks a lot to the Choo Choo camp that made this massive double train, that was huge !! It was on deep playa with a giant dragon with LED in the middle of those 2 massive  artcars fully equipped with Funktion One, laser + light show that blow your mind. Front of us, we can see Mayan Warrior: That was a dream :D
I did a cosmic mix dedicated to their futuristic art car that goes to hyper space and my cosmonaute suits.

Enjoy this deeper, dreamy, hypnotic electronic journey. x

Electronic EP 2 | A Hypnotic Deep House Journey

As the year winds down and comes to its conclusion, overlapping thoughts and memories have been flooding my head. It's when standing over a mixer and letting the music pull me away do I find solace and peace. What a perfect escape. 

This arrangement of tracks, both old and new are ones that resonate deeply. Personally, I've been very excited to mix and share this arrangement with you all. Whether you're feeling groovy, bouncy, sexy, mischievous, or maybe deep within thought and introspective.. I tried to capture a bit of each and translate these emotions into this sonic journey.

Cheers to all of the brilliant minds that contributed to this experience and to those who shared some of their unreleased work. I thank each of you and appreciate you incredible amounts!!

Happy holidays everyone and sending love and light to you all.. 

And remember: everything. is. going. to. be. alright !!

Dj / Producer / Remixer / Dancefloor killer
Keep Da Smile :D

He started to be a Disc Jockey at the age of 11 years old. He loves to travel the world and plays quite every kind of music: Ethnic, downtempo, electro swing, disco, funk, gypsy, deep/afro/latin/tech house, indie dance, techno, acid techno, tribe, abstrak/trip/glitch/hip hop, world music.

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.

I'm passionate about blending and mixing the tracks I love listening to on a daily basis. If you're a fan of my style, be sure to follow me for more music.

An audio and visual experience. We are all one and music and love is the answer to all of our problems.  

With gratitude and love, across all of time and space,
