BOSA - Soulestial's Piscearies Ball - Saturday, April 15, 2023

After some unexpected sound issues early in the night, BOSA came through to a recently adjusted system and completely shifted the vibes of the night. His high energy beats were nonstop, sending the first annual Piscearies Ball into a frenzy. 

A master producer in his own right, we're eternally grateful for BOSA's ability to read a room and completely shift it into one of the best night's we've had in a long time. This one is a banger!

Be sure to check out his new EP, "Contrast," released on March 20 on Alpha Pup Records. Also, don't miss him at the Grand Artique stage at Lightning in a Bottle.

BOSA - Soulestial's Piscearies Ball - April 15, 2023

This was year number 12 for Opulent Temple.  Through the years of helping organize OT, it's still a major motivator to have that defining playa music moment.  This year it was Wednesday night at our annual Sacred Dance party.  Of course I wanted to play to the moment, of music that I was passionate about while being conscious to set up Rob Garza from Thievery properly, who was on after me.  That endeavor ended up with this set, which I think is a stand out of my BM sets for it's range of music and emotion.  Never wanting to be pigeonholed and mostly having a disregard for if a tune was old or new, I ended up with a couple classic Alex Metric tunes, some Elite Force revamps that had 'playa tune' written all over them, some unreleased tracks from Lot 49 and Lee Coombs, some bassline techno and moving into the nudisco ala' Croatia Squad, etc I've been playing the shit out of lately cause it's music I love right now seemed a good note to leave it off for Rob Garza.

Hope you enjoy and it takes you back to some playa magic with a packed and beautiful crowd, jellyfish floating through the masses, an aerialist performing high on a forklift, dancers on the stage, and all the unique sights and feelings of OT in top form in the desert.

Live @ Opulent Temple, Wednesday night, Burning Man 2014

Opulent Temple 2014: Friday night 3:00AM. Burning Man is always the opportunity to play a little deeper, less obvious. A little harder, less  concerned about impressing anybody. This set is a mix of the new and tracks that have been waiting ten years to be played. 

Opulent Temple Burning Man 2014

For a long time now, I've collected some music that is quite different from my usual peak breaks sound. I've had a large collection of progressive and deep house I've wanted to play at sunrise and was given this opportunity by the fine folks at Decadent Oasis this year at Burning Man.

As the light shone over the "palm trees" and the sun started to shine on everyone's faces, a couple dozen skydivers with tails started to descend from the sky. A perfect, magical, playa moment.

It was a bit dusty, a bit windy, and bit wobbly, and a HELL LOT of BOUNCEY

(Yet More) From the Archives: Live at Opulent Temple, Tuesday Night 2008

In a fanciful quest to get a set (or 2) from every year at Burning Man I've played here on Soundcloud, here is more unearthed arcana.  This one though is not posting for the sake of posting.  When I look back at all these as a body of work, I consider this one of my best, most favorite sets of all time I've ever played there.

I've referred to this in other postings as a time when 'peak electro' met prime tech funk and break beat, when there was soooo much good music coming out with dirty grooves, indie vocals, and rolling techno inspired backbeat.  I just love every song as it moves through Miles Dyson, Lee Coombs, Justice, Alex Metric, Adam Freeland, Dylan Rhymes, Blende and more.   This is not shaman playa tech sleep house, this is dirty ass intense and distorted playa music that should be played loud.

Like many sets, it also starts with some spoken word.  An intro from myself, and long time friend and conscious moment collaborator at many of my sets, Shahid Buttar (currently running for Congress in SF to unseat Nancy Pelosi).

Check it out, tell me what you think.

Live mix from the Pink Mammoth Block Party at the Mint Plaza San Francisco Pride Weekend June 29 2019.  Solid day time house music with the fam!

NUGZ  MY HOOD Live Pink Mammoth Block Party Mint Plaza SF

For Opulent Temple's 2019 annual Wednesday night Sacred Dance party, we were hosted by our friends at Playground since we didn't have a sound camp this year.  I played 10-11 before Carl Cox.  So the goal was walking the fine line of being engaging & building energy but still being a proper "opening set" for Carl, and not hot dogging it.

2 songs (Sunshine & Peanut Butter), were by my friend and vocalist Ida Flo, who sang live up on stage next to me.  The night was pure magic, the energy gorgeous, the vibe palpable.  Hope this takes you back, let me know what you think!
