Sunset over Sunnyland : DJ
Playaduster vs. DJ Fundi

Fundiduster
the world's first and only Sunnyland Burning Man ceremony in 2006 -- I'm amazed the fire dept. didn't show up when I torched this dude!
This here podcast, the latest from your good friends at Destination Burning Man, has been sitting in the outbox for over a year now. Why it was never released until now is not known. It is the last musical mix concocted at the Sunnyland Soundsystem, where www.destinationburningman.com and www.podcastcafe.org were originally conceived and born. It represents an amiable clash between two imaginary alter-egos, DJ Playaduster and DJ Fundi.
Playaduster is known to be a bit crazier, a bit nastier and a lot more focused on electronica, dub, glitch and dance music -- his specialty is getting the party from lift-off up in to orbit and Black Rock City is his natural environment.
Fundi, on the other hand, is a more gentle soul and has a wider berth in the world of music -- he'll spin a jazz set, an acoustic/bluegrass set, even a set of drone music from Tibet, and is not afraid to mix some Beethoven, Beck and Beatles in the flow. He's certainly known to throw down a solid funk set -- see "Soundtrack for a Kitchen Dance Party", "Superbad" or "Deep Fried Funky Nuggets" for three fine examples -- but he tends towards the more organic laid-back style of funk.
What happens when the two of them meet and throw down at a soundsystem in its final days? Well, that is what this mix is all about. Can you guess which tracks are from Fundi and which are from Playaduster? We'll call it a Fundiduster mix if we must...
Soundstick recordings are from the "House Cooling" party thrown on Humboldt Street right before moving out.
