Talk about kicking off the new year with a bang! For the first edition of Wayward in 2023, we had guest DJs Tariq (Direct To Earth), Lisa Rose (Nocturnal Code), and Isolator (Peter Clarke B2B DJ Clairity), a solid lineup of heavy hitters! This month's edition was definitely more techno leaning, and every one of our selectors came through with solid thump! 

Here is my opening set from that night. Hope you like it! Wishing you all a safe, healthy, happy, and prosperous 2023!

Recorded live at F8 Nightclub, San Francisco, CA.

Wayward at F8 // Jan 2023

After a morning that changed my life in 2023, I was honored to be invited to play a second set on the magic deer. Endless love to Maxa, Burning Man, and all people behind the scenes bringing this magic to life. 

Thanks for welcoming me back, and: Enjoy the set ✨

HOVR - Maxa - Burning Man 2025

Playing on the Maxa art car was truly special to me. Not for some life-changing moment. No rebirth, no spiritual awakening at sunrise or mythical transformation in the dust.

It was about a brilliant crew from Mexico who built a giant deer that rolls through the desert, vibrating violently with every kick drum, wrapped in absurdly well-controlled LEDs, firing flames, and carrying a huge, great sound system that unites people and makes them dance. A surreal piece of art crossing the playa that simply fascinates me.

Standing there, surrounded by friends, looking out at a massive crowd genuinely dancing to my music, made me very happy. Sandwiched between Gavlak and Jonathan Kaspar, two artists I deeply respect, it simply made sense.
Thank you for this night.

Love,
Tummetott

With bad weather finally in the past our Thursday party was a blast. Hope you enjoy the recording as much as I did playing that day:)

DeMentha 2025 - Thursday

Thursday early a.m. carried the full spectrum of the playa: the waiting and then the lift of it all finally coming together. It was dark and still, fragile and fleeting, but in that moment everything was in motion. Riche at the helm. 

“Arriving at this moment on the Playa, playing for Robot Heart was the definition of delayed gratification after so much blood, sweat, and tears.

We arrived in 70 mph winds on Saturday, and our plane made the fastest landing the control tower had ever seen. Then we had to postpone the bus twice, and it truly seemed like it wasn’t going to happen this year. But somehow, at the very last moment, they ran into my camp, found me in the dinner line, and asked if I could play that first clear night. It all came together in that imperfect yet perfect playa way, and now it’s a memory I’ll never forget.

After days of storms and chaos, we were all ready to finally let go and dance. We rocked the bus, and I couldn’t stop smiling, surrounded by the joy of it all.

To my Robot Heart family, thank you for welcoming me into yours and trusting me with this moment. The bus is history, the future, and a hallowed place for music.

I couldn’t have done it without my friends, my community, and everyone who helped make it happen. I love you all to the moon and back. Thank you. We did it.

And to everyone watching now, I hope you feel the energy and love we all felt that night from the 🤖❤️.”

NOCHE DE SETAS 7
SEVILLA, SPAIN // GLITTERATTI

TRACK IDs (loading...): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6isZ4qhE9VNVUQKnFulv6a?si=395ce2caf94a44aa

A very special set for me as I got to debut my original track "Chula". You can hear it half way through the set. I'm excited to release it soon, stay tuned for updates on my Instagram.

I'm feeling very inspired by Afro House, Techno and Indie Dance lately. Using the different genres to create emotional moments to lift people up and then bring them back down - into their body - with energetic, groovy and percussive sounds. A combination that's working well to create an uplifted and moving dance floor.

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.

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.
