Oceanvs Orientalis - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

"My favorite set that we played this year at Burning Man was at Robot Heart. It was probably the only set that I really prepared for with Walshy Fire.

I'll be honest I was a lil nervous because I really wanted to make it run with energy for the full two hours and our typical audience isn't that used to a classic dub and reggae set. Myself and the whole RH crew wanted to create something really special for a sunset party and keep it true to the theme but to still feel like a Robot Heart set. The Robot Heart crew had told me that they wanted and entire set that sounded like "Major Lazer - Get Free" and I had to think hard about it. To keep the vibe going for two hours and for that record to be the climax was a challenge but I realized if you stick to your guns for the whole party and steer the audience in a direction and keep them with you, then anything is possible.  I hope you love it.. It's perfect for a party on a Sunday afternoon and represents a different side of Major Lazer"

Major Lazer - Robot Heart - Sunset Burning Man 2015

"O day, arise! The atoms are dancing.
Thanks to Him the universe is dancing.
The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy.
I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them.
All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they seem insane.
Every single atom, happy or miserable,
Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said."
(poem of the atoms)

Thank you all at burning man. i will never forget this time.

This year I decided to go to Burning Man for only four days as I wanted to see other places before getting there, places which were like the opposite of the dusty Playa.

Those were four really intense days!

All I know is the first time I opened the door of my RV to ride my bike to go say "hello" to the man, I saw a shooting star in the sky...

I knew it was going to be a good year, and so it was!

I want to thank everyone that made this year the best. Each single soul I met who I laughed, talked and exchanged eye contact with!

Each single sun ...

Thank u

Francesca Lombardo - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

Thanks a lot for the lovely vibe and the great sound!

It was a very special experience and the moment when the people grabbed their bikes and rode beside the bus into the Playa, a lot of fun!

This year my Playa time was shorter than the last years 
but at least I am very happy that I didn’t miss it!

Many warm hugz,

Its Friday night and we set sail on our bikes to find Robot Heart deep Playa. Once we arrived we landed on the bus with a view of the moon just peaking over the horizon. Slowly it starts to rise and it gets bigger with every step up, reaching for the sky. Blood orange, some of us were confused, was this the moon? This was the biggest I'd ever seen her and as soon as I saw this magnificent sight, something came over me…. just let myself go. This may be, the Soul of the World.

Monday night. It was still dark when I started. But everyone already sensed the first sunrise of this year’s Burning Man. I had arrived at the Black Rock Desert just hours before. After traveling direct from Germany which took more than two days.

I knew that the sun would rise 40 minutes into my set. I wanted to build everything around that. But when the sun indeed appeared over the dark mountains in the distant that moment, it was overwhelming. It felt like the music was manifesting itself now, with no more help from me, and we all were traveling into a new day together.

Ohhh... burning man.. where do we start? Running into new and old friends, the butterflies in our stomachs, adventures , cruising and endless synchronicities are all part of the magic we've experienced each of the 5 years we've been coming to this parallel universe. 

This year was a bit different.. we had just finished our album, and had been anticipating playing a few of the songs from it on the Robot Heart Bus.. This was a moment that we've been waiting for a long while.. and there are really no words to describe the feeling when that moment came. We are grateful for every second.

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.

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."

"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"

Sunday morning, deep playa at Burning Man, 2015.  Be Svendsen.

"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."

"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!!"

Sabo - 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"

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
