DISTRIKT

Playing for the DISTRIKT crew is and always has been my favorite part of the Burn. I really loved playing for all the beautiful smiling faces this day and hope everyone enjoys the mix!

My bed In Black Rock City last year was practically on the DISTRIKT dance floor, so I was awakened by many of the opening sets, that are unjustly less attended than the closing sets, at dawn. The awakenings were always pleasant and often made me feel energized, and wishing for stronger playa WIFI so that I could shazam from my pillow what was being played. The opening sets defined DISTRIKT for me in 2016, and if my taste is any indication, some of those openers will eventually be playing the closing sets. I am so grateful for the entire DISTRIKT team for once again giving me the amazing Thursday sunset slot, and I hope that you enjoy listening and dancing and reminiscing to this one!

I spent my first five or so burns dreaming of a time I'd be able to play at DISTRIKT. So, needless to say, when that time presented itself, I was ready and willing. Being trusted to take over from Atish and then hand off to Hoj & Lee, all artists I've been inspired by for years, is no small responsibility and I'm ever appreciative to DISTRIKT for the opportunity and privilege. Much <3 to you all :)

This year at Burning Man was a milestone for me in several ways. First, it was my 10th burn! It’s fun to think back to all my Burning Man experiences, and try to piece which memories go with which years. Sort of like putting together a jigsaw puzzle looking through a mirror under water. Second, it was the first year I kept my shirt on during my DISTRIKT set, like an adult film actress trying to go legit. And finally I had a lot of fun putting Piper into one of my mixes (seek to the 1:25:28 mark, a bike announcement recorded several years ago). For all these reasons and many others, this was definitely one of my favorite years at Burning Man. Here’s my Monday night closing set. Thank you to everyone who was there sharing the fun, smiles, and craziness. Enjoy! - Darren

Playing DISTRIKT is always one of the things that makes my Burn

complete. This year I played on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. I

played a very funky and upbeat set to set the tone for the day and get

people worshiping the sungods. Later in the week our community was

rocked with the news of the passing of one of the DISTRIKT founders,

Mike Reigle. I dedicate this set to the memory of Mikey. Rest in

peace my brother. - Clarkie

Every year I look forward to playing at DISTRIKT on the Playa because every year is better than the last...the regenerative power of love, energy, and verve, combined with the frenetic pace of creativity perennially produce nothing less than pure joy.

Each year I am always so very grateful to be party if the DNA of the best day party on the planet. So much effort, intention and vision goes into creating the DISTRIKT experience by so many people and like Burning Man, the magic is that each person who contributes does so from a place of inspired generosity. The simple goal: Elevate the human experience thru music and the magnetic force of amazing people getting to be themselves, dance and express love and joy. This year, I was given the honor of playing the second to last set, setting the stage for Kramer’s legendary closing set on Saturday. In 2007 I played the opening set Monday 11:00am to a virtually empty dance floor. What a ride these 8 years have been and what a blessing to be part of such an awesome group of humans. Words cannot express my Gratitude so hopefully the music does the job. Thank you to all of the beautiful souls who joined us that fine Saturday at DISTRIKT this year. It was a spectacular day indeed!!! - Isaiah

The dust blew in hard. Relentless. All Burn long. Destroyed pretty much everything. Beautiful it was.

There was true love, crushing loss, epiphany, change.

We were challenged, confronted, baffled, amused.

It threw us curveballs, softballs, thrashed our weary minds to the point of burnout.

In the middle of this Carnival of Chaos, were the twin techno towers of DISTRIKT, letting fly with winning smiles, throbbing bass, passionate hugs, rainbow tears and a sense of unity through the beauty of the beat.

We wore black. And we fucking rocked.

- Simon

I had a great burn this year. Top of the list was closing DISTRIKT on Wednesday. I appreciate every who was there to hear the first time around...but if you missed it, now is your chance. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I enjoyed playing it. Thanks for helping make DISTRIKT so much fun to DJ at! - Matt
