I am a Lazer : Bassnectar
Maxxximum
08/June/10 | permalink
Here's a mad mixxx I made of favorite Bassnectar cuts, from brand new to older classics: "the perverse and the bestial vs the gorgeous and the angelic." It features tracks from most of his albums, plus some remixes by other DJs, all mixed up with clips from an interview with Lorin I found on the internets. Enjoy the spiritual pulsations of thick, liquid bass, the deconstructed, freeky beats and ethereal soundscapes -- may it help you and your personal Bass Chakra Therapy work progress. Can't wait to hear the new Timewarp bizness on the playa, stomping with the tribe in the dust -- bring it, Lorin, BRING IT!

Subsonic Sonata
01/May/10 | permalink
This one's dedicated to the devastating beat creator......
How does this latest mix from DJ Playaduster fit in with his recently-unleashed Bass Chakra Therapy / Wobble Chronicles series?
It is still unclear how this particularly tasty blend of bass-positive music fits in with alla that chakra therapy bidness and we are open to theorizing from dedicated listeners. But this much we know: there is still the continuity of serious down-low subwoofer-friendly basshead music mixed into a flowing river of soulful low-end revelry. One difference is that this poem is less dependent on Whomp and Glitch and other Left Coast bass-hop tomfoolery.
Instead, it moves across varying landscapes of moody, swirling, dense grooves and emotions. BASS is the only constant, the liturgy speaking to the recesses of your primal animal soul.
Subsonic Sonata features Luke Vibert / Shackleton / Fever Ray / Bluetech / Nosaj Thing / Boxcutter / Zomby / Rustie / Matt Shadetek / Mimosa / Noah D. Roomate / Roots Manuva / Coldcut / Hedfunk / Four Tet / Burial / Ana Sia / ill.Gates / Heyoka / Bassnectar / Tipper and / The Field \\.

A smokin' mix of epic booty bangers from the World of Whomp. These are the grooves that light my fuse these days. All killer, no filler. Bumpin all night. A therapeutic bath of bass for proper chakra therapy upgrades. etc etc etc
This mix tape features fresh tracks, some barely a week old, from artists including // Mimosa / Ooah / R/D / Adam Freeland / An-ten-ae / Bassnectar / ill.Gates / Beats Antique / Heyoka / Bonobo / The xx / Nosaj Thing / MartyParty / PantyRaid / Fever Ray / Pretty Lights (and more Beats and Nectar at the end) \\. Thank you DJs for the blessings of your bass!

Another Bass Chakra Thearpy session from DJ Playaduster -- this time an intermediate level mix for those who have already absorbed the teachings found within the first introductory BCT session.
Vocals woven in to this session include soundstick recordings from the Halloween/Spiderball experience in San Francisco, the Get Found reunion at the Samish Island Zendo and the night Team Love danced all night in puddles to DJs on the top of the old Rainier Brewery in Seattle. This episode, in other words, tracks the post-playa adventures of our furry, fuzzy family up and down the Pacific Coast in the waning months of 2009.
Soundtrack by Lux, Nosaj Thing, An-ten-ae, Tipper, Lotus Drops, Vibesquad, ill.gates, Mihkal and Eskmo.

This mix is an overview of the electronik sounds I am currently filling my head with, including several DJs I learned about for the first time at Burning Man 2009. Heavy San Francisco emphasis here, naturally, as that is where my favorite grooves are coming from these days. Special guests include Maketa, Scotty G. and Suga Cubed, recorded both in Black Rock City and on the road to home post-Burn, decompressing and reorienting from the Best Burn Ever. This is one of my favorite mixes I've ever spun out -- I really dig the flow between tracks and between sections and the sacred womp of the bass is cleansing to my soul. Hope you dig it too.

The Tangled Path 2 :
Convergence
23/August/09 | permalink
Convergence: The process by which a similar character evolves independently in two species.
Convergent Evolution: The evolution of species from different taxonomic groups toward a similar form; the development of similar characteristics by taxonomically different organisms.
Burning Man: A great convergence of tribes from all corners of the planet; takes place the week before Labor Day weekend each year in the remote northwest corner of Nevada on a dry lakebed in the Black Rock Desert. The combination of common intention, sleep deprivation, freedom and dust storms creates the ideal medium for convergent evolution to take place at a rapid pace; from many into The ONE.
"The Tangled Path" dyad concludes with this latter installment, "Conjunction" (subtitles include "Funk Getting Ready to Roll" and "Fuzzy Biscuit Bass for Black Rocky City".) It follows on the heels of "Loose Ends," which found our fuzzy band of traveling Burners tumbling through time and space on various personal pathways throughout 2008, on and off playa. "Conjunction" moves the story towards its conclusion as, in anticipation of Burning Man 2009, the same love-filled freedom-seeking souls begin to pull back together into something cohesive -- a dream of togetherness that won't fully be realized until we all hit the playa at the end of August 2009.
Narratives include the birth and evolution of Camp dBM with Edubious, Moontroll and Grapenuts, as well as as missives from the heart of Black Rock City from Hekter in 2008. Ramona and Scotty G. join the mob with their own insights. Artists in this audio journey include Bluetech, Major Lazer, Z-Trip, Alter Echo, Erykah Badu, Kid Cudi, Beastie Boys, TV on the Radio, Nas, Herbaliser, Boxcutter, Roots Manuva, Flying Louts, Jaydiohead, Moby, Random Rab, Massive Attack, Beats Antique, Mimosa, Bassnectar, MAd Professor, Michael Jackson, The Roots, Funkadelic and Nosaj Thing.
This progressive blend of the brand-spankin' new alongside old classics represents everything I have to say about music in Black Rock City in one long-ass, delirious, whacked-out, turn-your-ears-inside-in mix. I threw everything I had left into this, my last musical melange missive before Burning Man 2009 : Evolution.
Hope to see many of you in BRC next week!
Over & out, DJ Playaduster

The Tangled Path 1 : Loose Ends
15/August/09 | permalink
"It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us...There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved....When we look at the plants and bushes clothing an entangled bank, we are tempted to attribute their proportional numbers and kinds to what we call chance. But how false a view is this!"
--Charles Darwin, 1869
"The Tangled Path" series begins here with part one, "Loose Ends." This episode opens up with a far-flung band of Burner brothers and sisters in the days leading up to Burning Man 2008, tracking their movements towards (and away from) the playa.
Moontroll and the Most Dubious E first plan to go backpacking in the North Cascades instead of burning, but thunderstorms and snow through them off course and they briefly consider a spontaneous run to Black Rock City -- those plans are thwarted and the two end up roaming around Central Oregon instead, meditating on the Burn, which is happening concurrent to their journey, from the banks of the Clackamas, Deschutes and Metolious rivers. (They also strategically release playa dust from a vial into hot springs and headwaters of various rivers, spreading the magic of the burn across the Oregon cascades)
Listeners will also hear from Ramona Mayhem and Torsten on their various 2008 trips, and later on, Hekter McElliott as he re-enters civilization (and cell range) post-Burn.
Interwoven into these narratives are recordings from a midwinter man-gathering on Lummi Island with Hekter, E and Moontroll, along with Trail Rat and Kidd Logic -- important issues such as "negative neutral", "shiver biscuits", "solemn totems" and "fuzzy bunnies" are discussed. Scotty G. joins the conversation later on, as does DJ Grapenuts.
Artists include O.N.O, Bassnectar, Kim Hiorthoy, Tsuki, Planet Sauvage, Mike Monday, Radiohead, Fourtet, DJ Zhao, Bonobo, The Bug and Twilight Circus. Unlike the recent episodes "Darwin's Weird Beard" and "Evolutionary Psychejuju", which were designed to be booty-slammin' dance-party night-in-Black-Rock-City blowouts, "The Tangled Path" is more cinematic and ethereal in nature. Music is used to transmit texture, emotion and mystery.
The stories that this podcast shares take place over a year-and-a-half, on and off the playa, between friends meeting and separating again along the road. The routes that spring forth from the Burning Man Experience truly form a Tangled Path. Here we survey the many loose ends of that path, tangling and untangling again; in part two, we'll together move towards Convergence and Burning Man 2009 : Evolution.

Evolutionary Psychejuju
27/July/09 | permalink
40-some days until the 2009 Burn, y'all > here's a mix from Radio DBM that is full of serious world-beat psychejuju to keep your preparations for the playa moving along on the good foot.
I was meditating on evolution while spinning out this set, particularly how species develop at different paces in different places around the planet. I love how one bird species, for example, will look and behave totally different from continent to continent, morphing form and behavior to match the physical ecosystem. But I also appreciate how all of life shares a common foundation, animated by the mysterious cosmic spark.
How does any of this apply to "Evolutionary Psychejuju"? Music is both universal as well as totally local. It begins with the heartbeat, and evolves in to a groove, a language every human can understand. I love how indigenous music is fitted to a particular place -- how the heat and aridity of Mali, the rhythm of the waves in Jamaica, the humid fecundity of Columbia have each inspired their own musical traditions. And I also love the ways in which some artists combine and blend those traditions in new and surprising ways. Musical evolution on a global scale. That's some of the thinking going on behind the scenes here at Radio dBM in the production of this here mix.

Darwin's Weird Beard
02/May/09 | permalink
Starting to think ahead to Burning Man 2009 a bit -- can't help it. Time to start slowly crafting well-seasoned playlists of tracks that I want to bring down to the playa to share with the people. Here's a sneak peek in to some of my favorite musical goodies acquired over the past few months that are helping me to begin visualizing the next incarnation of Black Rock City. The vibe kind of swerves all over the place as lots of styles and theories are ingested in to the whole. Sources vary widely. Hope you dig it and it tickles the insides of your ears.
Do they sound like playa grooves to you or not?

Heart of Flame Trilogy III :
RENEWAL
22/August/08 | permalink
Here's the final installment of the Hearts of Flame Trilogy -- a podcast tribute to Burning Man I mixed in 2006 -- hopefully posted in time for some of you playa-bound Burners to download for road trip music, perhaps even for a spin in Black Rock City some night. Back story on this podcast tribute here. Part one is here, part two is here.
Incidentally, Destination Burning Man and our many burning podcasts was noticed by the newspaper Reno Passport, and they are helping spread the word about the goodies for the gettin' here at dBM with this blog post and the comment: "Reno Passport utilized this site for our complete ipod selection for the 2008 Burn! Hit these guys up for sure!"
We're sure appreciative of the exposure -- our hits and podcasts downloaded have shot through the roof over the past few days. More than anything, DJs Playaduster and Edubious are so grateful and stoked to know more and more Burners are pulling down the music, sharing in the journey and keeping flame alit all over the world, all throughout the year!

Hearts of Flame Trilogy I :
IGNITION
07/August/08 | permalink
23 days.
In a little over three weeks, the Man will burn. Over 50,000 revelers, seekers and freaks will gather around the effigy on a remote, desolate, dry lake bed in a forgotten corner of Nevada to drum, dance with fire and lose their minds to the magic of the moment.
Though I've long decided that I won't be returning to participate in The Event in the Desert in 2008, I have to admit that with the arrival of August, Black Rock City's invisible, inevitable gravitational pull is agitating my soul. I have other projects and efforts I am dedicated to this year, namely establishing a relationship and a new home with an amazing woman and very special 7 year-old boy, but that doesn't negate my natural affinity for ritual, for community gatherings in sacred spaces, for ecstatic release, for psychedelic sojourning, for intense life-reflection and inward reorientation and for creative pranksterism.
My Burn brother Edubious and I have hatched alternative plans for the Burn weekend, and we plan on some deep-delving and freestyle soul-expression in the land above tree line in Washington's North Cascades. We'll be with all y'all, if not geographically, surely in spirit. More on that journey later...
As the days lean in closer to the gathering, I feel all kinds of emotions bubbling up, all kinds of personal needs I recognize as neglected, and an intense desire to create and share with friends. The most I can muster together for now is sharing music with the listeners dialed in to this dBM network. To that end, I'm reposting my Hearts of Flame, a Burning Man tribute-trilology in a podcast formulation.
I went through a similar process of longing in 2006 during Burn week, when I was back here in the Default World but feeling the massive energy gathering on the playa (the intensity of that longing was what ultimately led me to find a way back to the Burn in 07). Night after night in Bellingham, staring at a webcam focused on Center Camp and tuning in to the video reports from TV Free Burning Man, I wove together deeply-felt musical mixes on my Macbook. The music and the vibe were inspired by Burning Man, reflecting what I learned from my first Burn in 2004.
I set out to make a cohesive 1-hour mix, but got carried away on a wave of inspiration, and didn't wind the mix up until 4+ hours later. I had to split it up and the Hearts of Flame trilogy was born. It was a mixing session that lifted my skills to a new level -- I took what I knew about serving up music mixes and then pushed my own boundaries until I ended up with a blend that was like nothing I had heard before. It was strange and lucid and inspired and unpredictable, with massively overlaid sounds morphing in to a weird soundtrack emanating from my heart.
Listening to it today, there are all kinds of things I would do different, tracks I would like to get rid of and transitions made smoother. Yet when I hear it I am instantly transported to Black Rock City, as well as to those feelings of participating in the Burn from far away. It connects me to the primary vibe of the Burn, plugs me in and takes me away.
So, yesterday I decided that to share it here on Destination Burning Man and plan on posting one chapter of it per week from today until the Burn. (I posted it in 2006 as I was creating it on my other podcasting website, The Podcast Cafe, but have a more sympathetic audience right here.)
I hope it will inspire those of you who are busy getting ready for the journey to the Black Rock Desert right now. I send it out with the intention of connecting all of us, those who are Burn-bound and those who have chosen other routes this year. If Hearts of Flame stimulates you in any way, I'd love to hear about it: destinationburingman@gmail.com
Love and dusty kisses, DJ Playaduster

DISORIENTATION

And now it is time for DJ Playaduster's first musical commentary since his pilgrimage to the playa....

To download superior AAC version with chapters & artwork, subscribe to dBM feed via links in the sidebar!
Following closely on the heels of DJ Edubious' post-playa After Burn podcast, DISORIENTATION is a set of music deeply influenced by the nighttime environment of Black Rock City. It is a mix made up exclusively from DJ Playaduster's nocturnal field recordings -- bits and pieces of the sound environment that pulses each night on the playa, blended together, overlapped, cut-up and reassembled.
The soundscape draws its primary inspiration from the mobile soundsystem we called The DIS, which is one-half of the larger DISORIENT sound camp, an outfit of DJs all the way in from New York City. Each night, The DIS unit would slowly pull out of the inner city and head for the Open Playa, setting up dance parties in places brilliantly random and randomly brilliant.
Each night, DJ Playaduster would be drawn to The DIS and its' otherwordly grooves like a moth to flame, seeking them out on his space cruiser bike so as to infuse his soul in the DIS blend of nerf beats, electrodub, minimalist electronica and whatever else you want to call the unnameable flow of music the crew seamlessly pumped out all night.
DIS photos by Rumble
In this podcast, there are several long clips from DIS DJ sets,
recording on a digital soundstick and later transferred, refined
and remixes on a MacBook back at Sunnyland Soundsystem. But that's
not all there is here : Playaduster, in his moonlit wandering with
Edubious and Hekter and Ramona, also picked up samples of
Bassnectar spinning at Cirque Bezerk, assorted unnamed DJs throwing
down at the Boogie Universal Pyramid, the Space Cowboys and all
sorts of odd noises emitting from sound sculptures, steam
treehouses and various vortexes of the night.
DJ Playaduster gathered this wide array of digital sound clips and
has attempted to mix them in to some sort of seamless reimagined
recreation of Black Rock City after dark. The sound quality is not
the best you'll ever hear, but if it lacks in sonic fidelity, it
excels in bringing the spirit of the playa back home to the Default
World.
If you've never been to Black Rock City before, this mix will be
quite unlike anything you've heard before. You may believe that
you've stumbled on to another planet. If you are a dusty veteran of
The Event in the Desert, then hopefully this dBM podcast will
inspire flashbacks, huge goofy smiles and spontaneous dance
parties.
DJ Playaduster would LOVE to hear your reaction to this mix. Give a
shout out at moontroll@destinationburningman.com!

Tales of Johnny Buckskin : episode 2
: "From Whitehorn to Black Rock"
12/June/07 | permalink
The Tales of
Johnny Buckskin continue in episode two and they are full of
kinetic motion and diverse strains of cosmic funksmanship.
The story begins with a quick recap of episode 1, with Johnny and his boys on the banks of the Nooksack, having a men's outing and enjoying a bracing bout of disorientation. Episode 2 jumps ahead six months and we find Johnny barreling across the state of Washington, from his outpost in the Inland Empire towards the danky northwest corner of the coastal realm. Once mossily ensconsed, and with freshly-scoured chapstraps, JB joins forces with Trail Rat and Fundi. Soon, the band of merry makers head out for Whitehorn Point on a reconnaisance mission. They are strapped to varying degrees and prepared for orgiastic clamjuice to penetrate their inner toe-sacs as they browse the primordial salad bar on the salty edge. Their "foggy arts colloquiam" ends with an order of some NOjitos at a seaside bar, and then they flee for the cozy safety of Lummi Island.
Help us bring these tales and these flowing musical soundscapes to the playa this summer. Please visit www.destinationburningman.com, click on "Support" and help fund a couple of freaks with a small financial donation.

Once safely ensconsed in the woods where Sasquatches are known to lurk, the men drank Schmidt and frolicked on the gravel banks of the Nooksack. The campfire was central, and the glow sticks were a pleasing diversion. They were visited in the night by a French pirate-chef, but no earwigs penetrated their inner sanctum. Just before the first light of a new day, an ancient salmon dance was invoked...
These Men of the Nooksack all hope to get to Black Rock City, home of Burning Man, this summer, and they hope to unleash the Pacific Northwest energy. They dream of bringing fresh beats and ice-col' Schmidties to the playa. You can help them share the Nooksack Vibrations by pledging your financial support to their mission.
