Threshold (Open Me Slowly)
31/December/12 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
Mixed by DJ Playaduster, December 2012
Here's one more dBMcast for 2012 and the first to actually feature some of the soundstick recordings captured at Burning Man 2012. dBMcast #117 features Moontroll of Get Found reporting from the road to Gerlach, and from the exciting moment when one's vehicles leaves pavement and hits the playa, and from the line to get in to the city when a whiteout dust storm stopped all movement. Moontroll is geared towards that once-a-year passage through the Portal to the other side, and his excitement is palpable. Ride shotgun with him as he approaches the Threshold to another world of magic and mystery, a journey with an undulating soundtrack of forward-leaning bass music that touches on electroboogie, dubstep, ambient, world beat, breaks and other styles.
As this mix is about thresholds, portals, journeys and crossings, you'll also hear contributions from Terrence McKenna speaking on UFOs and spirit molecules and a science report on recent NASA searches for elusive portals that spontaneously open and close in the Earth's magnetosphere.

Shimmer : Dreamstep for Dubheads

dBMcast #107: Shimmer : Dreamstep for Dubheads
Mixed by DJ Playaduster May-June 2012
With dBMcast #107, DJ Playaduster has woven a sonic tapestry designed to induce dream states and facilitate astral projections. With rumbling bass as our Earthly grounding, we float past nebuli, vortexes and voyaging spacecraft on the wings of violin, percussion, guitar, trumpet and more. If you listen closely, you'll hear Moontroll & Orbit encountering the Temple for the first time at Burning Man 2010.
Have a look around. Smell the colors. Feel the low-end textures massage the tender places in your Bass Chakra. Taste the salty stardust. Relax. Let go….There are no sharp edges or rough transitions here, so you can close your eyes, lay back and take the ride with full trust in the interstellar navigational skills of DJ Playaduster.
Featuring Liquid Stranger * Pantha du Prince * SexyTime * Sunmonx * Nicoluminous * MartyParty * Ganucheau * Shlomo * Filastine * Kalya Scintilla * GRiZ * Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

Burning Man 2010 / Camp Get Found Video / Part 1
26/January/11 Filed in: Video
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. This chapter begins with an overview of the many twisty roads that lead to Black Rock City before jumping in to camp build, playa explorations, nights of heavy bass and daytime flirty frolickings. This piece presents my perspective on how things went down and features images, video and music from several sources (credits at the conclusion).

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…….."

BM09 video #8 : EVOLUTION : Burning Man 2009
24/October/09 Filed in: Video
EVOLUTION * Burning Man 2009 from moontroll on Vimeo.
Now that I've got all of the BM video shorts completed and posted, it is time to launch a video project with a broader scope -- I humbly offer up "EVOLUTION: Burning Man 2009" for your streaming and downloading pleasure. At just under a half-hour in length, this video seeks to celebrate Black Rock City in all of its ephemeral glory as well as commemorate the once-in-a-lifetime quickening of people that came together organically to form Camp Get Found at 3:30 & Lineage. This production utilized the photos and videos of many friends, as well as borrowed footage from Ben Wiggins, Mr. Nightshade and John Chavez. The soundtrack features Random Rab, Welder, ill.Gates, Ezekiel Honig, Nosaj Thing and Shpongle.

BM09 video short #7 : Temple Burn
21/October/09 Filed in: Video
photo by Edubious
Moontroll has spun out one last video shorts from photos and videos gathered on the playa at Burning Man 2009 by himself and co-conspirator Edubious. This last episde is a team favorite as it captures a very spontaneous and random performance by a marching band who came by at the right place at the right time and created a space for all of us to move out of our temple burn hypnosis.

BM09 video short #4 : Abraxas Sunrise

Abraxas the Dragamuffin at night, by Loupiote
Sunrise on the playa is a special, strange time, and for my past two Burns, the artcar Abraxas the Dragamuffin has been one of the best places to be during this transformation from night to day. This video short features Mikhal on the decks playing Bassnectar's remix of Spearhead's "Skin on the Drum" on Saturday morning. Kind of reminiscent of this session from 2007: http://vimeo.com/2693400.

BM09 video short #3 : Art Car Mayhem
28/September/09 Filed in: Video
photo by Edubious
As I was walking around aimlessly waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the Raygun Gothic Spaceship to "launch" on Thursday night, I was in awe of the collected energy and sound and lights. Everybody and their monkey had gathered in a giant circle around the spaceship, so it was not unlike Burn night, typically the only night of the week when everyone in Black Rock City are together and focused on a common something. It always makes for an intense scene when all of that madness and mayhem is concentrated like that. Anyway, I took out my beat-up playa camera and started recording video, capturing 1/100th of what I saw in the melee as I wandered around. I think the idea came to me when I heard the Spearhead remix coming out of a giant art car and I wanted to record it for my Spearhead-loving friend Edub (who was somewhere else in the chaos that night.)
