Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

The sunrise on Sunday morning after The Burn was perhaps the coldest I'd experienced at Burning Man.   By the time I went on at 7am only the slightest hint of the sun's warmth began to grace us, but the effect was immediate.  My instincts steered me into an uplifting, psychedelic house sound and the vibe was as loose and festive as one could imagine.  Playing out there in Deep Playa on the Robot Heart bus never fails to be one of the most unique DJ experiences I've known.

"It's Sunday night after the Temple burn, and emotions are running
high! What better way to close out another amazing burn, than by sharing
music I love with my playa family. Join me on a journey into mystical and
tribal rhythms inspired by the vast deserts of Nevada and California."

Anton Tumas - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

"I had a musically transformational experience in front of the robot heart bus years ago.  At that moment, I made a promise to myself that the next time I stepped foot on the bus, it would be to play.  Fast forward 5 years later…it’s 2am Monday night, about 30 min before my set, and I’m sitting in the deep playa with a close friend watching the bus make it’s way towards us from the city.  It was a moment that I will never forget.  This was what all the hard work was for.

To me, this mix represents a small microcosm of one of the things I learn over and over again every time I go to Burning Man; with patience, persistence, resilience, and positive intention, you can achieve anything.

Infinite gratitude to everyone who's supported me along this journey.  Although this, is just another beginning."

"Playing the Sunday morning closing set at Robot Heart at my first Burning Man was one of the most touching and rewarding moments of my musical adventure so far. I have always made music with the desert in mind, and this felt somehow like coming home, sharing it in the perfect environment. 

The manifestation of an intention - a full circle. 

Thanks to everybody who believes in my work and has helped me get this far on my journey, and to all the beautiful souls and amazing creatures who shared this moment and made it a special morning.  

Much love"

This is the recording of our Friday sunrise set from Robot Heart 2015 which marks the second anniversary since our very first set together as Bedouin.  Its a pleasure to share as a small token of appreciation for all the magic we all experience on the Playa each year.

"
This was my first time playing on the bus although I've shared many euphoric moments at Robot Heart in previous Burning Man adventures. Nothing else really compares to playing for friends and strangers all unified by love of music in the middle of the playa on a cool desert night. It's truly hard to describe in words the magnificent sensory experience it is to be there. It feels like the epicenter of love, creativity, spirituality and uninhibited self-expression... all rolled up with the best soundtrack and visuals you've ever seen. 


Thank you for including me in the magic Robot Heart."

"I'll never forget my first Robot Heart experience. We danced, frolicked, and got lost in the most enchanting sunrise, surrounded by like-minded energies. Beautiful and warm sounds captured my heart and spirit, creating a vibe full of magic, mystery, and pure bliss. I knew then I was meant to be a part of this experience, delivering the beauty I had received. With endless love and gratitude, my sincere thanks for those who joined in my journey after the Temple burn. It is your support that keeps me inspired"

I still remember approaching the Robot Heart bus for the very first time during my first Burn. We departed from our camp all the way at 4 o'clock by bike, dodging sand dunes and cracks on the rugged Playa. From a distance we saw the illuminated heart, serving like a far far-away compass amidst the orgy of lazers and lights. And when we finally arrived, it was like being transported to another universe.  I was immediately engulfed by the experience.  So you can imagine my excitement and anticipation when I was invited to play the bus on Friday night of the Burn this year. The magic of the night is hard for me to put into words so I will let my music do the talking. Enjoy the journey and let it transport you back to those special moments on the playa.

"I will never forget my first burn in 2008. Searching for good music on the playa back then was not as easy as recent years. Every corner was blasting either dubstep or electro type of genres  which was not in my interest and finding Robot Heart by accident during a night time adventure with my friends was one of the best find on the playa. 2008 was also Robot Heart's 1st year in Burning Man and as I remember I was one of the 100 people dancing right in front of it and dreaming that one day I will be playing on this amazing stage on wheels. It was only few years after that on the night Damian Lazarus took over the bus with his party called "Rebel Heart". After that night my whole perspective on music completely changed and I was so influenced by that night's unheard music that I made a record called "Rebel Heart" as soon as I got home from the Burn, which shaped up my whole career in the right direction. It was such an honor to finally make the dream come true and be part of Robot Heart's line up last year. Big thank you to Robot Heart crew for making this happen and taking great care of me while I was performing on Wednesday night. Looking forward for more exciting years to come."

"Starting a set on the Robot Heart bus, in motion, in the middle of the desert, was certainly the least expected and most unparalleled moment I have experienced as a DJ. Watching the burners follow us on their lit up bikes, dust swirling all around, with the majestic Black Rock City as a backdrop completely blew me away.

I still get goosebumps all over, when thinking about it.

There truly is no place like Burning Man, a HOME for people who breathe LOVE.

I hope the mix will somehow convey the feel of my magical  & ever inspiring experience out there.

Thank you Robot Heart. Thank You, ALL. I shall be back next year, the universe willing; may you be there too! <3"

"While I’ve made many early morning expeditions to Robot Heart, this was my first adventure playing the famous bus. It was a bespoke musical experience and a true honor to play and become part of the family. Dust storms had been blowing amok that night, so many parties had been cancelled; yet so many fabulous people came out to dance and make it an unforgettable party.

My sound explores the spaces between groovy & psychedelic. I always try to bring a deeper experience to the dance floor without taking things too seriously. I want people to experience a heightened connection with the music, but most importantly just laugh and have a good time. I hope that vibe shines through in this recording. Much love."

"It was an honor and a pleasure to play the Robot Heart bus again this year on Sunday night. After an amazing love-filled week, and a truly moving performance art piece with inspiring quotes from Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet", I was super excited to start the final night's festivities. The wind was blowing strong, the air was chilly, but the vibes were warm and strongly felt. I hope you enjoy my slow building sonic journey, and that it brings back positive memories of another incredible week on the Playa. I'd like to send a huge thank you hug to Swamy, Benjamin, Dill, and the entire Robot Heart family for their continued hospitality and support. And of course, thank you to all you beautiful Burners who danced under the desert moonlight with us.  See you next year in the dust!!"

"The sun had risen after a cold Friday night on the Playa. We had already been on quite a journey as day broke. Many of us stayed to welcome the Sun, and the Sun likes it when you say hello with your hands up and your feet moving. So that’s what we did together, well into Saturday."

Hoj - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

"We found the dimmed Heart sitting atop the bus in the middle of post-Burn chaos, as if sleeping, separated from it’s darkened Robot counterpart. The bus had broken down after the Burn and was cemented amid the luminous gridlock, being brought back to life by an array of oil-covered, faithful hands. Maybe it was just my cosmic week getting the best of me, but at that moment the separation between the Robot and Heart seemed symbiotic to the turbulent energy of the Playa, which was pulsing with infinite expressiveness. Eventually the roar of the engine broke into the clamour, the Heart lit up once again and, as if in reaction, the Robot began to glow. They moved gently towards each other and then out to the edge of the playa. The Yin and the Yang were united again, on the edge of the universe.

That’s how I remember it, anyway.

Every Burn experience is a different story, this mix tells mine - I hope you enjoy it. Thanks again to Robot Heart for having me a part of your amazing project, and to all of the Futurists and Burners that came out in the cold and danced with us - it was incredible x"

"My first burn… wow!! Still speechless & filled with Playa energy. A full week of breathtaking sunrises, hugging greets, beautiful art, randomness in the biggest sense of the word, cold nights, odd sleeping patterns and 8 days of laughter, love, smiles, tears, energy, sensory overload, dust everywhere, beautiful music and support from familiar faces and new amazing human beings which i can now call my genuine friends. A big THANXXX to Robot Heart for having me. Playing the bus monday morning 4AM after a week of deep playa adventures was the icing on the cake.  Big hugs to all the hard core burners who made it out to dance with me post temple burn.

As Patrice Baumel put it into words : "This place is so good I want to keep it to myself and share it with everybody at the same time.” Enjoy the journey...

"As soon as I arrived onto the Playa I found myself running in the blazing heat from the gates, asking frantically for directions to a place I had never been to before, a loud spot in the vast expansive horizon known as Robot Heart. I couldn’t believe I was going to be late!
Yes, it’s true, I missed my slot, I arrived 1 hour after, but the magic of this moment really encapsulated and introduced the whole Burning Man experience for me with many new friends trying their best to me to get there on time - it was priceless and unforgettable. 
Once there, Benjamin said “Frankie, you're late, what happened?” to which I replied “Mate, I’m Italian, I’m actually right on time!”

Few people know, 15 hours before arriving, I was stranded in Las Vegas with Julien and Claudia, with no ride to Black Rock City. Claudia said: "let’s try to call Ole and Finn, they have a badass RV, they can give us easily a ride!” The two Norwegian guys were still in Vegas and once they picked us up the “Get Frankie on the Bus” mission started. We played music on the road, shared the dark and the bright sides of spinning records, saw ghost cities, our GPS died, and we watched the dazzling stars in the beautiful night sky of the desert. I can say it out loud, what an unbelievable adventure and what an unbelievable beginning.

Here I am after that wild road trip, playing tracks I've been carrying since I started playing over a decade ago, finally landing where I was supposed to be, always looking for the next adventure.

Thanks to all the people who danced that morning, thanks to Robot Heart, thanks to my wife Alessandra and my family, thanks to the badass RV, thanks to Nico and Timur for helping to make it happen, thanks to David and Anna for their support, and of course, a big thank you to everyone I met on the Playa."

2015 was my seventh year on the Robot Heart bus, and my fourth RH sunrise. As this set posts, I am in full preparation for my 2016 sunrise, and I hope this soundtrack gets you in the mood for yet another journey to that dusty bed we call home. See you there!

I remember that morning, the 8th and final day. It was quite cold but that only added to the experience.  I had the honor of playing on the Robot Heart Bus for one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever witnessed, with some of the most lovely people I could ever imagine sharing this experience with. I hope you'll enjoy this set as much as we did.  Thank you Robot Heart and to those who shared in this magic morning.  Love, Peace and of course giant hugs....https://soundcloud.com/maxi-storrs
