Such a beautiful set as always ❤️‍🔥

Dude, love me some Be Svendsen! Best deso-tech producer!

You fucking rocked the house with this mix! Bottom hearted thanks

In an attempt to celebrate one of the most spectacular sunsets one can bear witness to -- the one over the Binnekring, in the Tankwa Karoo, that is -- I dug up 17 tracks and strung them together, shortly after the Ba(c)kstage truck had her maiden voyage across the dust. 

In the concoction of songs you'll find some funk, some house, some indie electronic, some remixes, a few warmer chords to pull at the heart strings and just a dash of Robbie Williams. 

Enjoy!

AfrikaBurn 2023 - ATARAX Friday Sunset @ Le Petit Paris

[Desert]ified - AfrikaBurn 2023 - Monday 2 - 5 Desert Tech @ Die Hek with Nemeton

Recorded live in Tankwa Town, Cape Town, South Africa. 24 April 2023

This mix was recorded live @ Die Hek on the opening day of AfrikaBurn 2023 and is a quintessential selection of desert inspired techno. 

What a pleasure to play for so many people and help get them into the desert vibe while they patiently waited in the queue. Loved this set and had so much fun welcoming all you fellow burners!

Dust, dirt, beats and freedom – that’s what it’s all about!

In Dust We Trust!

AfrikaBurn 2023: Nemeton live @ Die Hek, Monday afternoon. [Desert]ified

Thanks to Richard, the Boomicorn Team and all the burners for making these instants so special. Another incredible Burn and an amazing journey into space all together.

Dimitri Afrikaburn 2023 Flying Dutchman

DIMITRI - AfrikaBurn  2023 Wed 26042023 2am Flying Dutchman - LIVE (rec)

This year, while navigating change and the dissolution of my once concrete understanding of reality, I’ve found myself naturally anchored to the sacred, ritualistic aspects of the morning. Journalling, movement, and meditation have undoubtedly kept me from blowing away amidst the storm. 

It is such a universally acknowledged truth that the morning is a time of virtue, expansion, consciousness, and clarity that we barely bother to question it. 

But what of the night? 

Last week, as I lay on the dusty Karoo, staring out into the infinite expanse of stars, I realised that she has just as much to teach us.

She beckons us to surrender our self-awareness in the depths of her embrace, to become one amongst a crowd, safe under the cloak of her darkness. She invites us to revel and relax in the unknown, to lose ourselves in chaos and confusion, to dance and become entranced. In her infinite space, we are able to abandon all conscious thought and premeditation. She shows us a different path to clarity — if only we would welcome her in.

For the night is also sacred.

The Night is Also Sacred | Afrikaburn 2023 | Wednesday [BA(C)KSTAGE]

On Wednesday night at Afrikaburn, after searching the desert for the legendary Dung Beetle for several hours, all of the pent up energy was released in front of the mushroom forest (and on the mutant vehicle for 2 incredible dancers) to this set. I give you, acid house, with an indie twist.

Special thanks to David & Kerry from the Dung Beetle Project for this opportunity, to Ilse for my face paint, to Flora and Petro for hyping me up as well as the crowd, and to Migal van As for these awesome pics x

Kal-Bella X Leslie Mdluli @ Space Cowboys - Thursday 27 Apr - 3pm - AfrikaBurn 2023

This year at AfrikaBurn my favourite dance floor was created by Ubuhlanti, a community powered by upcoming regional talent. The little village combined with the insanely good sound system and impressive light show created this perfect cocoon of a dance floor.

So it was really a privilege to hook up our Flying Dutchman to that stage on Friday night of the burn and provide it with my music. The energy was electrifying, the crowd never seemed to stop pulsating as one big organism. Playing there that night was truly my highlight of AfrikaBurn 2023.
