Hola!

 Here is the recording of my very first sunrise set at Burning Man 2018 in the Black Rock Desert. I started playing around 5:45 am, the lights and lasers were still glowing in the cold darkness of the night..as the songs were passing by, the sky turned blue and the horizon warmer. Burners were all facing the deep playa, waiting for the sun to appear. It was an honour to soundtrack this moment and share music in such a magical place. No matter how hard I try, words can barely describe the energy and emotions felt in that instant... I hope music can express it better. 

I'd like to thank Maxa Camp & The Gardens of Babylon for inviting me to play on this beautiful Xaman Art Car...the mystical blue deer.   I’m very grateful to have shared this moment with so many incredible souls, old and new friends. 

Merci à mon ami Vince Dub d'avoir photographié ce moment!

Soul Button Live From Burning Man 2018- PLAY)A(SKOOL | Incendia Dome [Part 2]

Through a sleepless tantrum of being lost in a place inside myself of wonder, mystery, and adrenaline; that was my state of mind a month before I realized I was actually going (last minute as always), as all my other priorities quickly seemed to dissolve and I focused purely on this set of music as a gift for my first burning man… performing this set which came together so suddenly and fluidly (rarely happens like that with me and took me back to more naive studio days) live with Robot Heart during the burning of the man shook me to the core with liberating inspiration and was such a unique and uplifting experience it feels like I almost betray the memory each time I try to explain it rashly. There really is nothing else in the world like the collective work ethic, art and communal push forward in Black Rock City during burning man. The coming together of people from all walks of life making art for the sake of art and sharing their crafts and visions openly empowering the strange and the fantastic into the norm and the very real. A phenomenon and celebration of human creativity and science throughout the extremities of nature and conservationism. None of these experiences or music would have come to fruition were it not for the patience and guidance of my close friends Gunita, Nikita, and Benjamin. Also, the accompanying musicians and my brothers who performed with me and took the music to the next level including the all mighty Tomas Barfod on drums and Jeppe Kjellberg on electric slide of WhoMadeWho and the very talented Alexey Etcheverry on violin.  Thank you to the entire Robot Heart crew for the mindblowing creative force they’ve put together in the desert and for inviting me to perform at such a remarkable, liberating and otherworldly moment during the Burn. Happy to share this set and memory and I hope you enjoy it.

"and the moon turned pale as melting frost
and the sun became like blood
and the city lights flickered into darkness
as a doctor gave the wrong drugs
when shivering from the silence
and the air danced in spades
like a cape blowing in the wind

and every cloud and river 
played a joke on their own positions

and the peasants of the earth and the women
and the poor and the convicted
and the weak and every nobody
exposed themselves to the sky
and among the stars above 

and they cried to the sky and to the clouds
“lift us up and make us naked
from the absence of her who lies buried in the dirt,
and from the mercy of the wolf
for the day of her smile has come,
and who can deny her fire?”"

For his debut at this year’s edition of Burning Man held in the Nevada Desert, Eelke Kleijn collaborated with Studio Drift by composing the intro music called ‘1,000 Lights’ for their performative art drone show called ‘Franchise Freedom’. The spectacle sees a swarm of 600 drones turn into autonomous flying sculptures that brings technology, science and art together in a way never seen before.
 
‘Franchise Freedom’ is based on various phenomena in nature that expose the tension between individual freedom and safety in numbers. After the intro, the drones take off, guided by Joep Beving’s ‘Ab Ovo’ on piano, to eventually descend again and herald in the beginning of Eelke’s mesmerizing set at the Mayan Warrior art car.
 
The performance by Studio Drift at Black Rock Desert, was a tribute to visionary Larry Harvey, founder of Burning Man, who challenged people to look at the world in a different way. Eelke Kleijn’s composition of ‘1,000 Lights’, will also be part of his upcoming artist album ‘Moments Of Clarity’ that is set to be released on the 22nd of November 2018.

REBOLLEDO / LAST SUNRISE 

It’s been a demanding week... It’s been a fun week, it’s been a touching week... We are all exhausted, but we are all excited and full of joy. The man is down and has turned into ashes. It’s time for the last dance... After a very moving burn ceremony we’ve had a very energetic night, now Rebolledo takes control for the last sunrise to end the week on a high note and deliver the last Warrior message... “Thank you everybody, see you next year!”

Please allow us to show you something,

If you were at this years burning man you know how incredible it was. It needs no explanation nor can we explain it in words. You felt the somehow elevated vibe in the air that somehow made every cell in all of our bodies just get in some sort of beautiful flow. This year we made a special edit which you’ll hear at the end of the set made especially for our sunrise set at robot heart. During this moment at sunrise, we all laughed and even cried together. This is what we live for, these moments on top of the Robot Heart bus. 

If you weren’t able to make it this year, or you decided this was the year to take off, we dedicate this mix to you and we also dedicate this mix to infinite love to all, Weeeee are in a romantic mood these days. Cause love and music have no boundaries! We want to share it with everyone. 
Yup insert some 🧀 here.   Genuinely. 

Thank you Robot Heart for your Unconditional commitment to love, music and the Playa. 

Big loves

Monolink 

Singer-Songwriter and Electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture - which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he's both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.

Monolink (live) - Mayan Warrior - Burning man - 2018

This year at Robot Heart I was invited to play in the dark of the night surrounded by the colours of the lights of each person riding their bikes towards “In every lifetime I will find you” beautiful sculpture by Michael Benisty through the Playa.

After a two year break from Burning Man it was such a sweet, deep and smooth return on the bus, where I tried to give it the best soundtrack for each moment of that ride.

I remember each flash of it and every time frame associates to every movement of riding towards something unknown. 

All the colours and sounds were connected to the people and the music in an hypnotic way like mirrors. 

When we finally arrived to the embrace sculpture it felt like the beginning of something we had been waiting during that ride. 

Frequencies changed, and so did our emotions.

Thanks to everyone who was there to transport with us. 

I hope you will all enjoy this set, and for anyone who wasn’t there I wish the music can help them to feel what it was like to actually be there and imagine.

And of course thank you Robot Heart for giving me once again the opportunity to create a great memory for my life and the others"

Hello everyone, I'm Francesco Mami,
Special greetings to my family and friends with a capital F.
I would like to dedicate this set to all the artists who struggle every day to support themselves through making art. 
Also, to those who juggle two jobs and do not sleep at night trying to fix that snare drum that still ends up sounding like garbage.
Last but not least, I would like to dedicate it to those who have no choice but to keep up appearances on social media when times are tough; to those who make music without the intention of throwing it in your face and those yet to be born.
Witnessing the sunrise above me while playing from Robot Heart Bus, filled me with honour and the sensation that this was the end of the Frankie that we all knew and the beginning of the man I have always aspired to be.
