Opulent Temple Podcast -- sacred dance to world class dance music

In this installment, Elsa Seal greets the day with a groovy & glorious "2 o'clock Sunrise" set. Recorded live in the newly enhanced dj booth dubbed the "GoldPod" to close the 20th annual Wednesday Opulent Temple Sacred Dance White Party at Burning Man 2024 "Curiouser & Curiouser"

Our next live recording release from our SF White Party series is from our OT resident and power team extraordinaire, Richard Mixon. His cross-genre set seriously heated up the dancefloor in the main room! 🤍 🔊

"It was once again an honor to play at one of my favorite parties of the year; Opulent Temple's Sacred Dance party. It was a very special occasion for me this year, as it was the first time playing as a new member of the LGBTQ community. Like most of my sets, this one is musical journey through many different sub-genres of electronic music. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did playing that night" - Richard Mixon

Want to relive the magic of our epic SF White Party or experience it for the first time if you missed out? We are releasing all of the live recordings from the night from your listening pleasure. This next set of soulful Melodic House is from our new OT resident and all around fun guy, Just B.

"This year’s Opulent Temple’s annual Sacred Dance fundraiser (aka White Party) was absolutely amazing. I was fortunate and honored to spin tunes on the main dance floor for the first time. Opened the night with some heavenly melodic house tracks that warmed up the crowd streaming into the venue. The vibe, decor, visuals, performers and music were on point all night. Was definitely a night to remember."

White out conditions all day chased us into the early party of Friday night, but naturally mostly cleared up by the time Above & Beyond hit the booth to an electric crowd who would have weathered any elements to dance and witness this legendary moment in OT's long history. The power and melody carried us all into desert magic. Hope this set takes you back.

From Syd on this set: Opening night Monday was a time to start out with fun energy, some bangin' tech and bass house, and big tunes. But, as the set went on, I wanted to set up Hoj, who was on after me, proper with a gradual slow down to some prettier melodic house and techno. So this set plays like 2 sets, but hope you enjoy the playa range and the journey!

Don Gentry of Dallas-based Sonic Soul Tribe is a deep-rooted DJ who's no stranger to the Opulent Temple @ Burning Man lineup. You'll find this mix draws on experience. With a dust & lightning storm enhancing the Monday night vibe, Don Gentry kept the dancefloor charged and the people dancing!

Mr. Bounceman, Opulent friend and bouncemaster of the legendary BoUnCe Art Car was part of our very spirited Monday night bounce back to BRC and the 2 o'clock corner! Enjoy his hour of bumpin & jumpin!

Taking the controls Saturday night directly following the man burn was our very own Grammar. Stage fabricator, lighting designer, flame effect technician and Opulent Temple resident dj - Grammar stoked the flames for two hours of both liquid and dancefloor drum & bass. The theme for Saturday was 'Still Burning' and this set does just that - it keeps the party going through the night!

Elsa makes her Opulent Temple Burning Man debut! Providing a flurry of fun & feminine dance selections she sets the stage for our crown jewel - Wednesday night's Sacred Dance white attire celebration. An evening for the ages, Elsa graces the OPod alongside founder Syd Gris as well as the legendary Carl Cox and very special guest John Summit.

With a proper handoff and intro from special guest Marten Hørger, our OG OT resident fueled the Thursday night dancefloor with an hour of brooding, dark and heavy tech house and bass house -- and came to light it up!🔥 In the words of Marten Hørger, "Who's ready for Billy Seal!"
