DISTRIKT

It's hard to explain the feeling of playing the closing set at Distrikt. There really is nowhere else quite like it in the world & all the photos and video that spew forth after the event always look amazing, but don't come close to conveying the electricity that you feel in the dusty desert air. A lot of thought and work goes into preparing for these sets, and yet in the moment I always go way off base, trying to read the crowd and feeding off that electricity.

This year's set was epic, yes, but it had something more, something I'd never experienced to the same degree. With the sun having made it's exit half an hour before the end of my set, it was always my intention to bring things lowdown and dirty, but what I wasn't expecting was the emotion that everyone shared in that final half hour. I shook like a leaf for a good 2 hours afterwards & there was hardly a dry eye in the house. Distrikt couldn't be further away from the BIG BUSINESS that rave culture has become. It is ALL about heart, soul, friendship and family and I feel hugely privileged to continue to be a part of it.

After a few years of completely being content with being a dusty patron of DISTRIKT and labeling it my "go to" place on the playa, I guess this year my number was up to be of service to the vibrant community you have built. I'm feeling quite blessed to have co-created such musical magic with my talented comrades to add to my Burning Man memoirs, as well as those of many others I'm certain. Looking out at that colorful sea of "DISTRIKT-ITES" was beautifully profound. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be upset at all about an invitation to come back next year;-) Thanks for making me feel right at home, great production and just overall running an air tight operation. Always forward...MW

DISTRIKT Saturday Closing Party.... It's something I have had the privilege to play for the past 7 years. It's the set I have been cultivating, maturing and polishing more and more each year. It's the one set I look forward to all year long...over the course of the year putting tracks into an ongoing playlist, just waiting until I can work them into my set at the perfect moment, on that perfect day, for the perfect crowd. But what really makes it magic are all of you, the people who continually come support me and support DISTRIKT year after year, as well as all of the other DJs who help build the momentum over the course of the week with their amazing music, excitement and love of the craft. To all of you, dancers and DJs alike, I owe so much gratitude for the energy, smiles and love you give me when I step behind the decks and bring the volume up on the mixer for that final DISTRIKT sunset of the week. For that, I cannot thank you enough... I hope this recording takes you right back to the DISTRIKT dance floor on that incredible Saturday afternoon... Much love. - Kramer xo
