(for those listening closely, two tracks were added)

These tracks guided me on my "dusty journey" at burning man 2022. It was a challenging experience because I chose to challenge myself. The title is also appropriate because the set takes you on a journey.  The set has ups & downs, just like my desert experience & our lives. 

These are the tracks I love- that move me from the inside out. I recorded a version of this set and played in my headphones during my quiet times on the playa. When I wanted to hear specific beautiful music that I couldn't find out there. When I rode around thinking about my life and the beauty and magic of the playa.  Whether happy, struggling, or needing comfort... these were my go-to. This was my playa soundtrack. 

They were comforting and imbued joy & hope in my heart and mind. This music grounded me while also lifting me up. 

This is the set I planned to play at Burningman if the opportunity presented itself. Tracks that transition from the darkness of the night to the first glow of light... to welcome in the new day. 

When I returned home and reflected on the experience, I opened a bottle of Champagne and let the music flow. (please forgive a couple sloppy levels/transitions... 2 bottles of Champagne aren't a performance enhancer)I didn't realize I played for 2.5hrs until the last track was finished. It was a beautiful experience & I hope you can hear the emotion in the music. It is from my heart.

Episode 139 - ọba+flip (March 2023)

Playing this set at Burning Man 2023 was a truly unforgettable experience, and it happened on Thursday night, just before a wild storm hit. Playing for friends and fellow burners in the desert was an absolute joy, making the night before the rain even more extraordinary. We did not anticipate that we'd weather the storm for three days, but as it raged on, it created a unique sense of unity and resilience. When the sun finally pierced through the clouds, it felt like a genuine desert rebirth for all of us. 

I want to express my deep gratitude to @sabda-music-official for generously sharing his unreleased tracks with me; they added an enchanting dimension to the night. <3

Love Drop

Equanimous, Hyperlight, KÄTĒRI - Love Drop

Forget about the worries of the world, the ticking of clocks, and the pressures of society. In this moment, all that matters is the journey we're on, hand in hand, hearts full of wonder and souls ablaze with the desire for exploration.
So, let's get lost, and let our spirits soar free as we traverse the uncharted territories of our dreams. For in losing ourselves, we may just find the most precious treasure of all – the magic of being alive.

Let´s get lost. We don't want to be found.
Please listen carefully this set contains trippy elements.

Trip Advisor V

In March of this year, Brandon took his wife and a visiting climber from Hungry to the Atlantis climbing area in Queen Creek Canyon near Phoenix, AZ.  They were warming up on some easy routes and were all thoroughly enjoying the day. On Brandon’s second lead of the day climbing an easy 5.8, things were going fine until they weren’t.

From what Brandon later heard from his belayer, wife, and a bystander who witnessed the event, he was approximately 7-8 ft above his last bolt (the second bolt in the climb) and at clipping level to the next one, when a flake of rock he was using as a toehold sheared off quite suddenly. The flake fell and hit his belayer's hand, who had the presence of mind not to lose the rope. Brandon fell, hit a ledge with his shoulder and then head and then hit the ground 20 feet below.

HELMET GIVEAWAY: 
Brandon feels so passionately about people wearing helmets, that he wants to purchase TWO helmets for TWO people that would be unable to purchase their own helmet due to financial reasons. He was wearing a Black Diamond Capitan helmet when he had his unplanned encounter with gravity (and that’s what very likely saved his life) so that’s the helmet he wants to purchase to give away. In order to be considered for this helmet sponsorship, head over to thesharpendpodcast.com and sign up on the homepage. Remember, this is exclusive to people who do not already have a helmet due to financial reasons. Giveaway will be on September 30th. Good luck!

"My goal with “Gangsta Gangsta” was to find an intersection point between Hip Hop and a style of electronic music that was a comprehensive representation of every element of the Dr. Fresch brand. I kept the track at 105BPM to preserve the integrity of Baby E’s verses (and the original of course), so my instrumental perspective became a crossbreed between slowed-down G-House and indie electro. I’m constantly finding inventive ways to inject hip hop into the realm of electronic music - I hope my fans buzz off this project as much as I have, so excited for this release!" - Dr. Fresch
