I joined a lineup of fantastic DJs, including friends and frequent collaborators Von Davis and Jess + Nate Mordo, as well as GAL and SumDim!

Wayward at F8 // Jan 2024

This past visit to the Black Rock Desert in 2023, my wonderful friends at the Groundswell camp invited me to come play a guest set on the Kuker art car. As anybody who knows me can tell you, DJing on art cars and DJing at DeMentha are my two very favourite things to do at TTITD, so naturally I jumped at the opportunity. This was the set I played that Tuesday night in the deep playa. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Hope you enjoy!

Wayward at F8 // May 2025

It's always an honour and a privilege to be invited to play for one of my favourite crews on and off playa, the Salty Jacks! This year for their annual fundraiser, they whisked us off to a tropical island filled with colourful flora, sweaty dancing fauna, and just so much bass. I rounded up a solid lineup consisting of @adam-iko @jessica-mordo @natemordo @roxanneroll and @alexoxley, and got to lay down some darkness during the witching hour!

To wrap things up, @adam-iko and I did a little B2B, so keep an eye out for that release as well, coming soon to a SoundCloud near you!

Yaz Live at Salty Jacks Present: The Night Lotus

We gathered on May 24 for two major occasions: our dear friend Ina was having a milestone birthday, and Ina, David, and their daughter Emilia were preparing to move to Denmark. Naturally, we gathered for one big night together before their departure. I hopped on the decks kind of impromptu to play a few tracks and, well, 4 1/2 hours later I hopped off ;-)

"Vi Ses Senere" is Danish for see you later. This definitely isn't goodbye, but until next time, Skål!

DM for the full (long) track list...

Vi Ses Senere

On June 14, 2025, DeMentha threw a party at Swig SF to get our friends together and celebrate the upcoming summer solstice. It also happened to coincide with my birthday weekend. I got to play a set alongside @kittykatmuzikk and @phillybe, and then enjoy a live performance by @oganic! With @dementha sound and lights, we turned a revered cocktail bar into a nightclub and danced the night away.

Wayward: Phantasm // October 2025

Still riding the high from Burning Man Decompression 2025 at the Loom in Oakland! Having missed the burn this year, it was extra special for me to join my minty brothers and sisters and help build and host a DeMentha stage (in collaboration with Sound Garden)! Nothing beats getting up on a stage in front of hundreds of like-minded weirdos and seeing a room full of smiling faces dancing and sweating the night away!

The event itself was a total home run. The Loom was a pretty perfect venue, and all the artists and makers and builders and creative people came to do what they do best! So many incredible art pieces, lights and shiny things, big sounds, awesome art cars, and just the perfect blend of creativity, community, and unabashed debauchery! Much love to all the incredible people there, and in particular, to my DeMentha family for giving it their all <3

Yaz // Decompression 2025

As we're gearing up for Burning Man 2018, I just realized I haven't released any of my DeMentha sets from BM2017! Here is the first one. This was my closing set from DeMentha on the Monday. Looking forward to getting dusty again soon! )'(

DeMentha - Burning Man 2017

Yaz Live at DeMentha // Monday // Burning Man 2017

A few weeks back, the Robot Ears crew invited me to play the lounge at F8 for the San Francisco debut of French techno selector Anetha! It was a great opportunity to share decks once again with my homey Sean Raya as we took over the back room.

Stylistically, this set is a spiritual successor to my Wednesday set from DeMentha at Burning Man 2019. Very spacey, cosmic, bouncy, and driving beats to get that posterior moving. I hope you like it!

Yearning Man 2020

LIVE at DeMentha In Absentia 2020

Yaz is a San Francisco-based DJ who enjoys playing tech house, deep tech, minimal, and techno. He is an active member of the Burning Man community and underground house/techno community in San Francisco.

Yaz has played all over San Francisco at all the major venues, including Public Works, Mighty / The Great Northern, Monarch, Midway, and Halcyon. He was a resident DJ at the venerated Wish Lounge for 5+ years, running his monthly Wayward party right up until the pandemic caused Wish to close. Once it was safe to do so, he has taken Wayward to its new home F8 Nightclub, and has been a resident there since August 2021. 

Yaz has collaborated with many different promoters and labels, and has opened and closed for (or shared billing with) well-known artists including John Digweed, Bob Moses, The Scumfrog, Tommy Four Seven, John Monkman, Technasia, and Marques Wyatt, to name a few.

His love for Burning Man is only rivaled by his love for music. His styles go from deep tech, minimal and techno to indie dance. You can find him on the playa playing for his camp DeMentha, and everywhere else for The Janky Barge, Airpusher, and Icarus. Yaz has also participated in many fundraisers in San Francisco for the aforementioned camps, as well as DISTRIKT, Mayan Warrior, the Salty Jacks, and others.
