the Green Man
DJ Edubious looks back, part 1
August/01/2011 Filed in: dBMcasts
So I'm takin' it back.
How far we goin' back?
Way back.
It goes a little somethin' like this.
Destination Burning Man was born in 2007 from the Green Man. A way to hype up the party for anyone who would listen - our party and theirs. Podcasts for the people. The stories of an evolving idea that turned into a plan to get to Burning Man. Music mixed with our mysterious, and often confusing, creative revelations captured in the hazy moments when no was paying attention. "What did he say?" Exactly. Keep listening. It's all in there.
'Light It Up'
'Burn It Down'
DJ Edubious 2007
I can measure my musical evolution by these two mixes. They highlight the funky, groovin, beats that I was rockin' before I experienced Burning Man - Prince, Up, Bustle & Out, Farid, Groove Armada, Ammoncontact, Michael Franti, Miguel Migs. The musings of DJ Playaduster peppered with Burncast samples carry the story - the creation of the Boogie Pyramid and setting intentions for our pole position on the 9:00 keyhole on the Esplanade. The flow is never interrupted by a heavy, teeth rattling bass drop or glitched out wobble. Just good, clean, funky beats here.
Keep listening.
Sun. Dust Storms. The Man Burns. Exodus. Default World. Reintegration. Reorientation.
The music that we experienced that year on playa changed it all. We saw Bassnectar slay the crowd at Cirque Berserk; The Glitch Mob blew our minds - 4 guys on laptops at Enthion Village; Freq Nasty was exactly that; and the DIS[orient] mobile unit rewired our musical synapses with deep bass in deep playa.
Coming home to my stereo sauna, the music didn't feel, quite right anymore. WHERE'S THE BASS??!!
The story told by Moontroll and I is accompanied by the ever present sounds of Black Rock City. Field recorders capturing our attempts to make sense of what was happening all around us. THIS is Burning Man (at least how experienced it). The music and the madness. The syncronicity and the profane beauty. The grimy beats, the low bass, the laser sounds. This is After Burn. An early precursor to recent bass heavy dBM mixes like Kung Fu Jedi and Bass Cadet. It all started here.
Keep listening.
