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

01. Cosmosolar - El Rarito (Cycle Remix)

J.Wheel, Emilio Centeno - Rainy Day Edit (FREE DOWNLOAD)

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.
