Burning Man 2025-08-28 live at the Firehouse

I don’t usually play a lot of techno, but on Tutu Tuesday some of the crew at camp were craving it — so I decided to give them their fix. This set was all about banging it out with driving, high-energy techno, and I had an absolute blast. You’ll notice a lot of HI-LO throughout — he’s been one of my go-to artists for those big rolling sounds. After this, I’m definitely inspired to expand my techno library so I’m always ready when the moment calls.

I was also stoked to include some 🔥 tracks from my St. Pete friends and local producers EYEawake and ALEJANDRO. Hope you enjoy 🙌

1. Max Styler – Resist (Extended Mix)

Burning Man 2025 | Techno Set (Tutu Tuesday @ Burnpops Camp)

Here's the recording from my Tuesday set at DeMentha. Hope you enjoying listening to it!!

DeMentha 2025 - Tuesday

This was an exciting first  - doing a live set at Burning Man and at my home camp, DeMentha!  I was super nervous setting up my gear wondering if the crowd would enjoy an hour and 45 minutes of original music perfomed live. Went down a treat:) Take a listen and let me know what you think!

DeMentha 2025 - Wednesday (Live Set)

What an amazing feeling to play at DeMentha for my second year. After a rough start battling the elements, Tuesday finally brought sunshine and with it, the good vibes. Super fun energy from the DeMentha dancefloor that day. Big hugs to my wolf pack for always showing up and to my Minty crew for the endless love and support. I truly roll with the tightest crew around.

Tuesday Opening Set @ DeMentha // Burning Man 2025 // Indie Dance

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

Tracklist:
01. Cosmosolar - El Rarito (Cycle Remix)
02. Glowal, SYNTHETIX (ofc) - Killaz (Original Mix)

Yaz // Decompression 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.
