Underland CPL Saloon Opening Party Siddhartha 2025

The season opening for our beloved Hot Situations. Season 7 with over 450 guests, for another memorable day into night. We were celebrating two very special birthdays: Laura Mashas Byrnes and Alaya Durusel (one of our co-founders behind it all!). Two incredible humans that I count myself oh so lucky to have as dear friends. Happy birthday again <3

This is my 2 hour set playing at sunset. I was able to move around and play across sub-genres, which is always my favorite thing to do. Probably one of my favorite sets musically of the past year :) Hope you enjoy!

As always, thanks for all the production team for putting together such a beautiful space for us all.

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.
