Over a decade ago I had the pleasure of playing at Black Rock City on top of Robot Heart’s bus, a lovely memory that was thankfully recorded in ways to keep the flame alive until December 2023 when stars aligned and let that same pleasure, yet again, get us together, this time at the end of a month long residency in San Francisco. All Heart.

Maayan Nidam - Robot Heart Residency - Oakland 2023

We've been playing for the crew at Robot Heart for close to a decade now and each experience we've had is always so memorable, mostly because of the love and appreciation we feel from the whole crew and their impeccable attention to detail, allowing us to do what we do best, play records. 

When we were invited for the inaugural season of events in Oakland, we were deeply honored. 

We hope you all enjoy this set of select deeper than deep cuts from our record bags to your ears. Long live Robot Heart!

Frank & Tony (Vinyl Set) - Robot Heart Residency - Oakland 2023

I had a magic time at Oakland for the  Robot Heart Residency, the time have spent there just gave me so much good energy and I have met many interesting people along the way. 
My set was a mystic moment during those days, it seemed like time had stopped during those hours during before and after my set. 
I want to thank the Robot Heart Family for having me once again and making this adventure happen for me and everyone else who was there!

Francesca Lombardo - Robot Heart Residency - Oakland 2023

My affection for Robot Heart is well-known, tracing back to my first encounter with it in the desert sands in 2008. Over the years, my musical journey has been deeply influenced and shaped by its presence. 

Having the opportunity to partake in Robot Heart's Residency in Oakland, California, was a true delight. 

The four-hour set I performed stands out as one of my favorites in recent memory, largely due to the unparalleled connection forged with the audience. 

Beginning the night and carrying through to the peak hours before passing the decks to Sante Vie, the energy was phenomenal to say the least. 

I hope that you find as much joy and resonance in this performance as I did that night

Camea B2B Anja Schneider - Robot Heart Residency - Oakland 2023

Hello everyone, last year, as Christina and I made our first journey to Burning Man, excitement would be understated with plans to deliver an electrifying set at the iconic Robot Heart Bus after Lee Burridge. However, nature had other plans — unprecedented heavy rains and flooding at the event meant that, unfortunately, my performance could not go ahead. 

On my recent US tour, our ever-supportive friend, Benjamin from Robert Heart and the rest of the crew, extended a heartfelt invitation to play at their unique San Francisco-Oakland residency. 

This mix is not just a set; it's a token of appreciation to all who were there and an offering to those who couldn’t join us. 

Immerse yourself in a slice of the magic from that night. Whether you're listening from near or far, I hope it transports you right there with us. 

Looking forward to the next gathering at the Robot Heart residency in San Francisco / Oakland on May 9th. 

Enjoy the journey, HOSH

It was an absolute treat to perform this set at the Robot Heart residency. A fantastic space with excellent sound, closely situated to Burning Man's physical roots, celebrating a broad creative spectrum of music, lighting, and physical installation art — what's not to love? 

It was the perfect setting to debut this "A/Vfib Live" show. After 20+ years of making dance music and 10+ years working on LED art, the concept of a singular integrated performance of original audio-visual content had been slowly gathering steam in my mind. 

With this opportunity, the moment finally felt right. Huge gratitude to the whole Robot Heart team and the Defibrillator lighting crew for creating such a unique multi-media canvas to play on, for trusting me to explore new material, and for fostering so much creative development along the way. Special thanks to @shafferj for "seeing the light" many years ago and steadily encouraging this work ever since, from freezing our asses off shooting photos at night to developing supremely cozy butt-warming interior lighting environments.

Please don't wake me up
Crash, please don't wake me up
Dreams gon' fake me up
Crash, sleep gon' take my love
Shuteye, shuteye, shuteye

Stasis
Death in the air
Fade into time
Yeah its nascent
Take it in stride
Everything's fine
Black faces
Shaking the blinds
Who look alive
Don't waste it
Sated, Faded, and waiting
Weed out, weed out, the weak
Lately its been fucking me up
Lately its been waking me up
Please don't wake me up

Don't wake me
Lace me, the easiest way out
I stay LARP'ed
Stay inside
I don't hang out
I lay down, sleep my life away till I bang out
Wallow in your steps
Only lesson I wrote down

Smacking at the dawn
Black sky filling in the haze
Capillaries burst at a gaze
Know the solitude gone when the time come
Then I'm covering the clock when the lights off
Rolling in the bed
It's the reason we can't die
And it's been the pleasing myself time
Maybe that's the real reason
The real reason I can't cry
Walking in the dusk of a pale sky
So please don't....please don't

Smile gleaming
Please don't wake me up
Daydreaming
Dreams gon' fake me up
You the only thing
I been seeing
Girl you know... You know I need it
Ya know I need it
Ya know I need ya
Yeah

Lately its been waking me up
Lately its been fucking me up

Please don't wake me up
Dreams gon' fake me up
Crash, sleep gon' take my love
Shuteye, shuteye, shuteye
