Subconscious Shapeshifter Swarm
01/February/12 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Bass Chakra Therapy
A subsonic sacred bass exploration with DJ Playaduster channeling a night at Burning Man. Imagine traveling between several different soundscapes late one night in Black Rock City: your first stop features whomp-fusion, glitch-hop and luscious low-end bass jamz to start the party. But then you wander a couple doors down the Esplanade to discover a camp spinning psychedelic progressive house and you get lost there for what seems like an eternity of booty-shaking. Robot Heart rolls by and draws you deeper out in to the open playa for a serving of dark and dubby disco-trance music. Mmmmmmm, feels so good! Right about the moment you suspect that you are going to turn in to a puddle of goo from dancing to such elastic, nerfy beats, a random art car -- perhaps a golf cart made up as a glowfish, or a pulsating fuzzy UFO -- drives by blaring Hendrix and the rawness and realness of his guitar pulls you back to corporeal form. Out at the trash fence, you stumble upon Tipper spinning an early morning set full of neuron-splintering sounds and feel your DNA literally being reprogrammed…. almost sunrise!
All of these various styles and genre-mutations sound so good to your ears -- they move your body hypnotically, swarm your subsconscious with shapeshifters and create an epic night of dancing beneath the broad dome of stars with the beautiful freaks of BRC!
Featuring Kaminanda / David Starfire / Beats Antique / ill.gates / Glitch Mob / R/D / Bassnecter / Osunlande / Tanner Ross / Round Three / Kassem Mosse / Behrouz / Jimi Hendrix (?!?) / Tipper/ more...

Rites of Passage: Pathways to the Portal
24/August/11 Filed in: DJ Edubious | Playa Mixes
What does the theme Rites of Passage mean to you? Is Burning Man just a big party in the desert? These questions spark the insights and musings of Get Found 3.0 campers as we envision it, manifest it, build it, paint it, pimp it out, feel it, struggle with it, open to it, let go of it and offer it as a gift to all.
The soundtrack for this lucid stream of consciousness is a mid-to-downtempo mix of music from Mimosa, Bassnectar, Eliot Lipp, Burial, Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Pretty Lights, Marty Party, Ooah, Emancipator, Jamie Woon, Russ Liquid Sound and Tycho.
We will pass through the Portal in 6 days! We invite our fellow Burners who will be on the playa this year to visit us at 8-8:30 & G-H (approximately…look for our blue and green parachutes, teacup signs on the street corner, or check in at Playa Info) for a cup of tea at the Get Found SyncroniciTEA House & Ju Ju Parlor! You know we'll be playing good music. See you at Home.

The Larry Harvey Dub Experience
25/July/11 Filed in: DJ Playaduster
Here’s a new mix from DJ Playaduster, with special guest Larry Harvey, founding visionary of Burning Man. The audio is from a recent talk he gave in San Francisco at the Burning Man Regional Convectional Caucus that was recorded and broadcast by Shouting Fire. He is pontificating on the early roots of Burning Man, some of the principles Burners adhere to, and ways in which the Black Rock City culture is spreading out in to the default world in surprising ways.
The music is a mix of style from whomp to dubstep, glitch to jazz. Many of the tracks are taken from the Ninja Tune XX compilation. Hopefully this soundscape presents many of the tempos and feelings one would get wandering around Black Rock City at night.
Featuring Amon Tobin (King Cannibal remix) * Andreya Triani (Mala remix) * Bonobo (Floating Points remix) * Anti-Pop Consortium (Four Tet remix) * Thom Yorke + Four Tet + Burial * Wolf + Lamb * The Bug * Coldcut * "White Rabbit" dubstep remix * R/D * MiMosa * Pretty Lights * Vibesquad * Eskmo (Lorn remix) * Burial * Radiohead * Dorian Concept * Jazz Jagist (Grasscut remix)

biNGH: New Meat
19/May/11 Filed in: Guest DJ
Interplanetary trajectories make for systematically erratic positions and opportunities. Scattered like bits of fluff in a space dust storm, the wonders of this modality are infinite and varied. Letting go of the normal needs for position and velocity awareness leads to an almost intoxicating stupor of flavors, textures and intergalactic interactions. Such yang embodying trips, heady, rising, unsettled, bursting, glowing hot and bright, are inspired and short lived by their very nature.
In time, the fire burns low, the wind dies down, and the life returns to the earth. Internal transmissions take over the condintuitive channels of the extroversionary energies and it is time for internal reflection and grounded embodiment. Returning from far flung oRbiTal paths, tightening the circuits and letting the exploratory energy continue, with internal probes and present tense specialization, shifting from cosmic to embodied, from yang to yin, from far flung to grounded, from summer to the darker times... Out of the dying fires of extroversion, a new body is constantly discovered, New Meat is born.
This mix is a celebration and an exploration into the transition that comes over all of us, the process that is practiced, one direction or another, with sinusoidal regularity and chaotic randomness with every shift in life, with every dawning day and setting sun, with every change in the season. This is a celebration of the infinitely vast, endlessly varied, readily accessible temple that we are.
The work of the following artists is entwined with the verbage of Richard Freeman. Listen and enjoy. Taste some New Meat...

Bass Cadet (It's a Family Affair)
As the Burnal Equinox passes us by, we slip and slide our way down the slope towards another trip to Black Rock City. Burning Man 2011 begins to infiltrate my daily thoughts as I consider what Rites of Passage will rise up to meet me and my merry band of Get Foundlings. Here's a heavy-duty blend of bass music -- dubstep, whomp, glitch-hop, lazer -- to wake us out of our winter slumber and slap us silly in to the spring. This is not your mama's bass -- get ready to be aurally spanked! This is the time of year for cleansing and new growth, and this mix is designed to knock the moss off of your bass chakras as we stumble towards the playa, alone and together.

Here's a video I put together, from many sources, telling a little bit of the Camp Get Found story at Burning Man 2010: Metropolis.

JOYISM : Got Found? (Part 1)
13/October/10 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
"There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust..
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home.......
Cause, I built a home
for you
for me
Until it disappeared
from me
from you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust…….."

The Tangled Path 2 : Convergence
23/August/09 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
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 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
"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.
