At long last, after several attempts over several years, Gavin Smith (@dj_gav) and I were finally able to do a proper B2B set together! It was such a blast going track for track, especially with such a great group of people fueling the dancefloor. The energy was absolutely electric!

We also had killer sets by longtime collaborator Friedlander (@friedlanderb), DJames (celebrating a milestone birthday!) (@exitwestsf), and Justyn Myers (@justynmyers)!

Live at Salty Jacks Baewatch Party, Burning Man 2025

Let’s be honest: the first two days were brutal. I questioned my choice to come while trying to pitch a tent sideways in a sandblaster, a shiftpod fighting against me, breaking down on us, accidentally smashing a laptop.
But then...
The dust settled (a little), the heart opened (a lot), and the funk found its way in.
This set is a celebration of that transformation — from chaos to connection. It’s funky, it’s got soul and it’s got yummy dirty bounce with a twist of tech house.
To everyone who was there, wo I danced with, laughed with, cried with and boogied under the stars with — this one’s for you.
Hit play, close your eyes, and let the dust and joy of the Burn carry you.

From dust to groove - Burning Man 2025

Stuck in the mud with our evening plans washed away, Mira Falkenstein turned it around by opening our tea tent with an unforgettable set, creating the perfect vibe for an intimate camp party.

Wayward: Phantasm // October 2025

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.
