Mix Overview
This mix was record in 2021 at Robot Heart at Burning Man, rather than me try to explain the mix, or burning man, just read the quote from Diplo below.
I'd be lying if I said it was easy to play a Sunsrise set at burning man... especially at robot heart. I had to literally help pull an ancient cow statue down from the top of the heart two years ago to be sent to Germany. It's like I had to do these ancient quests and other sunset sets to be put in the position to play this past burn, so i was not taking that lightly. By sheer coincidence I found myself in Reno the night before this and drove straight from my set there to the middle of the desert to a gps location at 5:30 in the morning. I prepared myself for the sunrise; I knew there would be some doubters, but that just made me work harder... oh and I was on acid. I think it may have been the best dj set of my life so far ..

MUSIC MONDAY SERIES
Scientists believe that listening to music in a group helps people to connect. This connection happens because the rhythm in the music helps people's brains synchronize. This allows them to coordinate their body movements. As a result, music can influence how we work in a group. While I wish we could all be at concerts together all the time, sadly, we can not. However, thanks to the internet, sites like Spotify, Soundcloud, and Youtube, we can share some fantastic artists making incredible music. Check out our other Music Monday posts.
