I was saving some of these jams for months, waiting for the right moment to send our hearts, bodies and souls into a wild frenzy as we once again journeyed on the road to Black Rock City. With the feeling of an expansive and dusty sunrise always in my mind, I was warming up the main room at Great Northern in San Francisco and it took no time at all for the space to pack in with fellow wanderers, dreamers and playa people who were ready to give in to the waves of sonic bliss.

As we dive into the deep end together with our hearts open, just imagine that I’m right there along side you dancing my dusty boots off to the bitter end. First on the floor, last to leave. I’m looking forward to seeing you all on desert dance floor and beyond in 2023.

2022 was my 8th return to Burning Man and my 4th year camping and building with DISTRIKT. It’s always a lot of blood, sweat, and beers being part of such a massive camp that provides so much. It is rewarding in ways I can’t describe despite this year being particularly difficult.

As for my set at DISTRIKT, I decided to go with a darker style than usual and the crowd seemed to love it. I wanted to represent the sound from my Shadow Wulf record label and I included a few grooves from the label. It was a blissful experience for me to see all the happy faces getting down in the heat with me. I hope you all enjoy this recording over and over again. I am looking forward to seeing you all in the dust once again 2023!

Playing at DISTRIKT camp at Burning Man was pure fun and joy with my team. Every beat and melody conveyed the overwhelming sense of love and camaraderie that filled the air, creating a truly unforgettable moment in time.

DISTRIKT is one of the camps who welcomed us very early on. What we like most about it is that it feels like a real nightclub in the most surreal environment. Kramer, Ben and the whole D-crew are the most welcoming and incredible hosts you can imagine. They put so much blood, sweat & tears in this project.

And what we love that you have to prepare very differently. You have to find the jams which have a great energy and still the vibes. As it’s daytime and such a big space it’s pure bliss to unite all the different kind of humans, species, stray cats & enthusiasts. The little extras like the green room are a prove of their never ending love for details. We are beyond thankful to be a part of their journey for so many years now and hopefully we are still celebrating this camp another 40 years!

My experience started by getting completely lost in a crazy white out on the Playa solo. I lost & ditched my homies in a singular effort to make my set on time on my bike lol. I ended up being 30 minutes late to my set and also played on CDJs first time in 10 years or so (or whatever long time - I’m usually a Traktor guy).

It was one of those magical moments with the elements (extreme heat and playa dust) dictating the direction of the day. I was thirsty AF on top of being late AF. But the DISTRIKT crew had my back upon arrival with smoothies, water and drinks and made me feel at home immediately, and it turned out to be one of my most memorable and cherished experiences. Can’t wait to come back for more fun in the dust!

I feel like I can truly be my funky, freaky self at DISTRIKT. The camp and the crowd are so incredibly positive, encouraging and supportive. During this set I remember feeling that energy with every drop, with every mix. That kind of vibe is infectious and allows you to take risks, to push things. We all just wanted to have a good time, didn't we? I'm glad the set was recorded, and I hope you like it! ~Hoj

It was Friday Night, during the middle of my set at DISTRIKT, that the strongest sand storm of the year joins our party. An end-of-the-world scenery takes place on the dance floor, something straight out of a movie. As if a war was taking place. Dancing warriors sticked in embracing the heavy winds as some sort of ritual. My music gets deeper and deeper. The moment turned out epic… so we wanted to share with you a piece of it. Thanks Ben Seagren, Kramer & friends… It’s an honor to bring my sounds to my family at DISTRIKT.

"Such a great moment playing DISTRIKT for the first time and on top doing it b2b with my dear friend Patrice for a long afternoon/night experience - Hope you all enjoy our set and imagine the vibes”

~Hernán Cattáneo

"This session felt super natural from start to finish. The musical connection with my b2b partner Hernan was almost telepathic and DISTRIKT provided the perfect arena to create magic on the playa. The most important ingredient were the people on the dancefloor. What a ride!"
