Live at Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

The thing I love most about Burning Man is no matter how much you think you've prepared, you still never really know what to expect. The uncertainty, the excitement, the apprehension, and sometimes even the fear of what's just around the corner is what keeps so many of us coming back every year with a renewed childlike wonder - a feeling that seems to slip away as we get older. Sometimes everything goes right, and sometimes things just go wrong. 2014 was a mixed bag for me with some high highs (spending time with amazing people, getting to DJ in the best place in the world, seeing some incredible forms of expression) and low lows (namely falling hard on my back off of a see-saw putting me in constant pain for the entire week - it even hurt to laugh!)...but at the end of the day, I got exactly what I bargained for and couldn't ask for anything more: I experienced the unexpected.

In contrast to the previous two years on the bus, this year I played first on Friday night and took a little sonic stroll around different sounds and moods to open the night before Bedouin beautifully escalated the night into proper party mode...Pardon any sloppy mixing, we can just blame that on my aching back :)

Thanks to everyone who was there early in the night to catch my set, and thanks to everyone listening at home, Robot Heart, and Dr Burridge for the continued support over the years...Having the opportunity to do what I do is such a great gift from all of you.

Monday night. It was still dark when I started. But everyone already sensed the first sunrise of this year’s Burning Man. I had arrived at the Black Rock Desert just hours before. After traveling direct from Germany which took more than two days.

I knew that the sun would rise 40 minutes into my set. I wanted to build everything around that. But when the sun indeed appeared over the dark mountains in the distant that moment, it was overwhelming. It felt like the music was manifesting itself now, with no more help from me, and we all were traveling into a new day together.

Lee Burridge - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

The middle of the week is here, the body knows it, the mind knows it and the soul knows it too… and the three of them agree that it´s time to go out at night and give it all dancing and get lost in music… and that´s what we all did when Acid Pauli took over after the energizing journey from Jeniffer Cardini, to take us in another kind of Journey… A journey too complex to put into words and too beautiful to not to talk about it… enough talk… let´s enjoy the journey again...

Enjoy

Acid Pauli - Mayan Warrior - Wednesday Night - Burning Man 2015

"I had a musically transformational experience in front of the robot heart bus years ago.  At that moment, I made a promise to myself that the next time I stepped foot on the bus, it would be to play.  Fast forward 5 years later…it’s 2am Monday night, about 30 min before my set, and I’m sitting in the deep playa with a close friend watching the bus make it’s way towards us from the city.  It was a moment that I will never forget.  This was what all the hard work was for.

To me, this mix represents a small microcosm of one of the things I learn over and over again every time I go to Burning Man; with patience, persistence, resilience, and positive intention, you can achieve anything.

Infinite gratitude to everyone who's supported me along this journey.  Although this, is just another beginning."

"Playing the Sunday morning closing set at Robot Heart at my first Burning Man was one of the most touching and rewarding moments of my musical adventure so far. I have always made music with the desert in mind, and this felt somehow like coming home, sharing it in the perfect environment. 

The manifestation of an intention - a full circle. 

Thanks to everybody who believes in my work and has helped me get this far on my journey, and to all the beautiful souls and amazing creatures who shared this moment and made it a special morning.  

Much love"

Sunday morning, deep playa at Burning Man, 2015.  Be Svendsen.

"
This was my first time playing on the bus although I've shared many euphoric moments at Robot Heart in previous Burning Man adventures. Nothing else really compares to playing for friends and strangers all unified by love of music in the middle of the playa on a cool desert night. It's truly hard to describe in words the magnificent sensory experience it is to be there. It feels like the epicenter of love, creativity, spirituality and uninhibited self-expression... all rolled up with the best soundtrack and visuals you've ever seen. 


Thank you for including me in the magic Robot Heart."

"While I’ve made many early morning expeditions to Robot Heart, this was my first adventure playing the famous bus. It was a bespoke musical experience and a true honor to play and become part of the family. Dust storms had been blowing amok that night, so many parties had been cancelled; yet so many fabulous people came out to dance and make it an unforgettable party.

My sound explores the spaces between groovy & psychedelic. I always try to bring a deeper experience to the dance floor without taking things too seriously. I want people to experience a heightened connection with the music, but most importantly just laugh and have a good time. I hope that vibe shines through in this recording. Much love."

"It was an honor and a pleasure to play the Robot Heart bus again this year on Sunday night. After an amazing love-filled week, and a truly moving performance art piece with inspiring quotes from Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet", I was super excited to start the final night's festivities. The wind was blowing strong, the air was chilly, but the vibes were warm and strongly felt. I hope you enjoy my slow building sonic journey, and that it brings back positive memories of another incredible week on the Playa. I'd like to send a huge thank you hug to Swamy, Benjamin, Dill, and the entire Robot Heart family for their continued hospitality and support. And of course, thank you to all you beautiful Burners who danced under the desert moonlight with us.  See you next year in the dust!!"

"The sun had risen after a cold Friday night on the Playa. We had already been on quite a journey as day broke. Many of us stayed to welcome the Sun, and the Sun likes it when you say hello with your hands up and your feet moving. So that’s what we did together, well into Saturday."

Hoj - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

"We found the dimmed Heart sitting atop the bus in the middle of post-Burn chaos, as if sleeping, separated from it’s darkened Robot counterpart. The bus had broken down after the Burn and was cemented amid the luminous gridlock, being brought back to life by an array of oil-covered, faithful hands. Maybe it was just my cosmic week getting the best of me, but at that moment the separation between the Robot and Heart seemed symbiotic to the turbulent energy of the Playa, which was pulsing with infinite expressiveness. Eventually the roar of the engine broke into the clamour, the Heart lit up once again and, as if in reaction, the Robot began to glow. They moved gently towards each other and then out to the edge of the playa. The Yin and the Yang were united again, on the edge of the universe.

That’s how I remember it, anyway.

Every Burn experience is a different story, this mix tells mine - I hope you enjoy it. Thanks again to Robot Heart for having me a part of your amazing project, and to all of the Futurists and Burners that came out in the cold and danced with us - it was incredible x"

"As soon as I arrived onto the Playa I found myself running in the blazing heat from the gates, asking frantically for directions to a place I had never been to before, a loud spot in the vast expansive horizon known as Robot Heart. I couldn’t believe I was going to be late!
Yes, it’s true, I missed my slot, I arrived 1 hour after, but the magic of this moment really encapsulated and introduced the whole Burning Man experience for me with many new friends trying their best to me to get there on time - it was priceless and unforgettable. 
Once there, Benjamin said “Frankie, you're late, what happened?” to which I replied “Mate, I’m Italian, I’m actually right on time!”

Few people know, 15 hours before arriving, I was stranded in Las Vegas with Julien and Claudia, with no ride to Black Rock City. Claudia said: "let’s try to call Ole and Finn, they have a badass RV, they can give us easily a ride!” The two Norwegian guys were still in Vegas and once they picked us up the “Get Frankie on the Bus” mission started. We played music on the road, shared the dark and the bright sides of spinning records, saw ghost cities, our GPS died, and we watched the dazzling stars in the beautiful night sky of the desert. I can say it out loud, what an unbelievable adventure and what an unbelievable beginning.

Here I am after that wild road trip, playing tracks I've been carrying since I started playing over a decade ago, finally landing where I was supposed to be, always looking for the next adventure.

Thanks to all the people who danced that morning, thanks to Robot Heart, thanks to my wife Alessandra and my family, thanks to the badass RV, thanks to Nico and Timur for helping to make it happen, thanks to David and Anna for their support, and of course, a big thank you to everyone I met on the Playa."

2015 was my seventh year on the Robot Heart bus, and my fourth RH sunrise. As this set posts, I am in full preparation for my 2016 sunrise, and I hope this soundtrack gets you in the mood for yet another journey to that dusty bed we call home. See you there!

I remember that morning, the 8th and final day. It was quite cold but that only added to the experience.  I had the honor of playing on the Robot Heart Bus for one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever witnessed, with some of the most lovely people I could ever imagine sharing this experience with. I hope you'll enjoy this set as much as we did.  Thank you Robot Heart and to those who shared in this magic morning.  Love, Peace and of course giant hugs....https://soundcloud.com/maxi-storrs

Catacomb rises like a rocky outcropping off the desert floor. It is a ruin, a remnant of our collective search for moments of quiet, introspection and reflection. It is a journey of discovery and a descent into a subterranean world.

Guy Gerber - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

Huge thanks to White Ocean for making one of my dreams a reality. This year was my very first Burn… And if you met me on the playa, you know how much fun I had! For those who know me well, this experience was really powerful. I discovered a new part of myself, artistically and socially. And this set at White Ocean was very special. I was supposed to play a 3 hours live set but for many reasons I wasn’t able to do so…  So I improvised a kind of hybrid set remixing and editing some tracks in live. I had never done such a thing before and it was totally insane! Right after I started a big dust storm hit the playa and we couldn't see a thing but it was unbelievable! So epic! The crowd was insane! It probably was the craziest set in my entire life! I will never forget this one. There is so much to say… Just be there. 
Until next time.
Love.
