Over the years we have had the pleasure to develop a friendship with Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation. 

As huge fans of the group, a collaboration to have them play at Robot Heart at Burning Man was always a dream, if an impossible one.

This year at Burning Man, just in time for the inaugural Heart & Soul sessions from Robot Heart and Thievery Corporation's 20th anniversary, we finally had the honor of hosting Thievery Corporation on the Playa.  Three years in the making, the product of serendipity, determination and a lot of team work, here is that amazing, unannounced sunset performance at the Robot Heart camp before an audience of thousands of burners. Thank you Dave Geller, Elliot Dunwoody, Pascal Pharmacon and the 18-person team from Thievery Corporation for helping make our collective dream come true!

Happy Thanksgiving from Robot Heart & Thievery Corporation, hope you enjoy it!

"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.

"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!!"

"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...

It has been just over a month since I left Black Rock City for the 5th time, and this marks an annual turning point for me. Today is my birthday, and I have one last gift to give you this year my crazy Playa friends.  Today my thoughts shift from: wishing I could teleport back to all the amazing moments we shared together just one month ago, to focusing on the productive 11 months ahead, until we meet again in  the dust.  I hope this mix will allow you to breathe a deep relaxing exhale, grounding yourself back to "reality", and inspire the same thoughts of excitement in you, until we meet again - in Black Rock City.

Black Rock Come Down - Sabo

Kicking off the week with this groovy psychedelic soundscape set played by Safak OzKutle AKA “Oceanvs Orientalis” is a formation which aims to challenge the aesthetic perception in electronic music.

It blends itself with the archaelogic tunes of mankind’s cumulative musical history and in this very context believes that “everything comes from the east”.

Despite of being an electronic-based formation -due to practical reasons- at the moment, it intends to transform into a dance (to move the body and feet to music) orchestra where each instrument will be played by its own instrumentalist.

"“pull a string, a puppet moves ...

each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand —“"

Art: Celestial Mechanica - Jessika Welz

Celestial Mechanica is a glimpse of our solar system that is only allowed by means of an artistic lens that we are providing for you. Because of the massive scale of our solar system it is very difficult to imagine what all of it looks like working together as one. Celestial Mechanica will allow us this privilege. From a distance it may not be clear what we are looking at but as we approach it becomes instantly clear what this is. First we step into a loosely fenced area that is for pedestrians only where all of the Gas Giants are whirling above us. As we get closer to the Sun we can see the Rocky Planets at eye level spinning around their orbits around the Sun. It is now time to step up onto the catwalk via 4 staircases that lead up to an elevated walking area where we can really view the complex mechanics, feel the heat from the Sun’s fire effect and see the orbiting Rocky Planets, now slightly below us and separated by a handrail so that we do not disturb their delicate orbits.

Playa Mornings - Hotel California - Burning Man 2017

Thanks to all the happy faces who stayed up all night or who set their dusty alarm clocks to come and dance with us Wednesday morning. Having been on the other side of the speakers for many a sunrise it was a treasured moment to play this music, which holds a lot of emotions for many of us.

We want to thank Fleetwood Mac for the original magic and Robot Heart for creating the opportunity to crank it loud and proud. The edits and remixes included were created by us (Roxanne Roll and Smooth Sailing) and many of our producer friends who we’d like to thank for their work and passion: Psychemagik, In Flagranti, Antenna Happy, Twin Sun, Dean Kenny, Youth Edits, Cosmic Kids and Trail Mix.

We hope you can feel the warm sunshine and hearts, see the great expanse of desert and feel that all possibilities are open to you when you listen to this mix. These were the wonderful feelings we had while we were playing. 

Big Love

Fleetmac Wood - Robot Heart 10 Year Anniversary - Burning Man 2017

I like nature and music and I like deep dives into the depths of my own mind.

It’s becoming more and more obvious that my mind is really busy - way too busy. It is always exposed - constantly receiving and absorbing, processing and changing.

I have therefore become more cautious of what I want to let into consciousness and taking regular breaks from the endless stream of stimuli and simply paying close attention to my mind has helped me pierce through the spellbinding clutter of unstoppable thoughts. To me, what reveals itself on the other side is a profound state of
calm. A calm from which natural curiosity, playfulness and love can spring freely.

Music is a channel where I express this natural playfulness that I believe we all share deep inside. Playing my music on top of the Robot Heart bus at their ten year anniversary was one of those precious moments where I felt you were responding to this - we were playing together.

When you express a similar joy and playfulness to that which I create the music with we set a beautiful feedback loop into motion. Getting eye contact with you and seeing how me and my wobbly harmonica notes crack you up into a big smile affects me and really fires me up. 

Your response inspires me to create more and feel more and
express myself more. 

I would like to send a big fat virtual hug to everyone who rode their bikes deep out into the playa that morning and to Robot Heart for  making me part of the family.

If you by any chance feel the playfulness bubbling up inside of you - in any shape or form - please let me know, I would love to be in the loop with you. :)

Ohlala...

This weekend is about to start in the best way possible. Before you one of the grand sets performed at The Monastery: Blond:ish at The Dark Side of the Moon. 

We remember this night. As soon as this set finished at The Monastery we crossed our fingers and really really envisioned this one would be released. It was minutes before a wind storm kicked in and we thought our good thoughts had blown away.. But no. Here we are, together at the beginning on of the good ones. 

It's a keeper, this one. Like the two girls that form Blond:ish.

They never stop inspiring us. The tracks they produce repeat themselves thousands of times because we can't get enough, ever. The sets, the hard work, the goals they set for themselves.

We can't and wouldn't want to do this without them

Find them at our key showcase of 2018 and second year anniversary at Amsterdam Dance Event: The Seekers of Light.

The Monastery 2018 - BLOND:ISH at The Dark Side of The Moon

Please allow us to show you something,

If you were at this years burning man you know how incredible it was. It needs no explanation nor can we explain it in words. You felt the somehow elevated vibe in the air that somehow made every cell in all of our bodies just get in some sort of beautiful flow. This year we made a special edit which you’ll hear at the end of the set made especially for our sunrise set at robot heart. During this moment at sunrise, we all laughed and even cried together. This is what we live for, these moments on top of the Robot Heart bus. 

If you weren’t able to make it this year, or you decided this was the year to take off, we dedicate this mix to you and we also dedicate this mix to infinite love to all, Weeeee are in a romantic mood these days. Cause love and music have no boundaries! We want to share it with everyone. 
Yup insert some 🧀 here.   Genuinely. 

Thank you Robot Heart for your Unconditional commitment to love, music and the Playa. 

Big loves 
Your two Canadian music lovers — BLONDISH

"Sunrise at the Kazbah has now become a family tradition for us every year at Burning Man, and it’s one of the DJ sets we look forward to the most. What started 4 years ago with just 10 people on the dusty dance floor, has grown into something truly magical.  We couldn’t be more grateful to the Kazbah crew for providing us their sacred audio temple,  allowing us to gift the music we truly love, to so many of you beautiful Burners. Please enjoy our entire 6 and 1/2 hour set recorded live at the Kazbah, on the morning of August 31st, 2018."  ~ Sabo & Goldcap
