"Mayan Warrior once again blew minds at Burning Man. Big sound, big lasers. I got to plug in my USB’s on Monday night and had a great time. Set link in bio.

People take it almost for granted but it’s such a technical and logistical challenge to run an artcar in the desert.

Festival grade tech - generators, PA, lighting etc - has to fit inside a tiny bus and kept running for a week. Overheating is the main danger, mechanical wear and tear due to dust and vibration is substantial. Generators need constant refueling. Easier said than done when the fuel truck does not show up due to sandstorms.

Then you need a bunch of security to keep people from being run over or falling off the artcar. The chaos these crews have to manage is substantial.

It takes a village. 🙏🏽❤️"

Patrice Bäumel | After Party Set Live In Denver 4.16.23

“When the sun sets over the playa, the freaks come out to play. For this occasion, as is tradition, DISTRIKT and Robot Heart joined forces and tied up their sound systems for one of my favorite parties I have yet witnessed at Burning Man. Something special happened that day. Playa magic.”

For pretty much the whole year I’m either headed towards or away from Burning Man. 

Each year out there there’s this moment in space and time where I feel perfectly balanced between the two. It’s a moment where time stands still, just for a second. 

That moment is when the first ember of the day’s sun peaks over the mountain top to begin its journey once more. 

I try to find a piece of music to express the feeling of stillness and presence I get.  This year the sun was kind enough to arrive 1 hour 28 minutes and 40 seconds into this mix. I was in awe. I’m still in awe.

Some of the magic of the playa for me is where the nature blends with boundless creativity. Where love meets wonder and we get to laugh, dance and play. Add a dash of music for good measure and, for a moment, that magic catches its breath to take it all in, and stands still.

2024 was one of my favorite years ever. Thank you to all you artists and lovers, cooks and cuddlers. To all those who toil for months before and after to make it happen and to anyone who gave anything to another. You’re all amazing. I’m currently headed back towards (or is it away from) that moment once more.

A Night of Sand and Sound – Burning Man 2024

Burning Man is never about predictability—it’s about embracing the chaos and letting the dust write its own story.

Arodes and I were set to play a special back-to-back DJ set high above Black Rock City, floating in a hot air balloon, watching the neon veins of the desert pulse beneath us. But the desert had other plans. The wind howled, the storm rolled in, and our aerial stage became impossible.

On the campground, just in front of The Man, a different kind of stage awaited. Vintage Culture had already successfully gathered a nice crowd, a resilient tribe of dust-covered dancers who refused to let the storm dampen their spirits. Arodes and I eventually stepped up, feeding off their energy, turning uncertainty into rhythm, and letting the music cut through the swirling sand.

It was one of those nights where the connection felt deeper, where the music wasn’t just heard—it was felt. A true Burning Man moment.

This mixtape captures the energy of that night—the spontaneity, the rawness, the beauty of letting go and letting the music lead the way.

Hope you’ll enjoy it!

Jeremy Luycx - Jessa (PREVIEW)

"2018 at BM was only my second burn and after my first (4 years prior) I did not think it could get any better… But this year somehow was 100 times better! I think this was due to camping with the amazing Pink Mammoth crew and family. Arriving there a few days early to help set up was incredible to acclimatise and hang out. So many people at PM are already close friends, but this year I met loads of new people who, I can now call family. 

At my first BM I also played at PM, although none of us can work out how I ended up playing there specifically haha! We think Derek knew I was coming and asked if I would like to play. Thankfully he did, because I instantly fell in love with the camp and playing there. Four years on, (and playing many times for PM at their events) it felt like coming home. Its so satisfying playing somewhere where you feel completely relaxed to play what you want to play, in a perfect environment.  

This set also was made extra special by an amazing (pre planned) marriage proposal mid set between Harrison and Felicity. Harrison had told me a couple days prior that my song “In Love” was one of his and Felicity's favourite songs that they shared together. He wanted to propose and asked if I could play the song for them whilst he did so. I of course was completely honoured so myself and Harrison arranged that I would play it mid set, about an hour in and would give him a nod to signal it. With his broken ankle (he’d broken it just a day prior!), they both climbed up onto the speaker, and to Felicity’s surprise, just as “In Love” started to come in, he proposed in front of the whole crowd! Of course she said yes ;)

So you’ll hear in this mix the volume dip at the start of “In Love”, which is a lovely memento forever recorded in this mix! Hope you all enjoy! Tim.”
