loved that. reminds me of our not quite as epic descent in Austrian Alps in the middle of a storm cloud with our trekking poles sticking out of our packs. we had great deal  of luck.

Matt and Trevor had plenty of experience hiking 14ers in Colorado, so when Matt's Dad was in Colorado visiting they decided to take him up Mt. Bierstadt so he could check off his first 14er to celebrate turning 70. On May 8, 2021 the group was nearing the top when weather changed dramatically from what the forecast had informed them of earlier. They suddenly found themselves (along with another group of hikers) caught in a lightning storm with extremely low visibility and rapidly dropping temperatures.

We all will inevitably be faced with unexpected situations in the backcountry that require us to make decisions on the fly as a group. These situations require the use of that extra gear we keep with us "just in case.” In this episode, find out why Trevor and Matt learned the importance of planning for unpredictability and for planning for overnights.

(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.

Good Life

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

"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
