b"Given that we're talking about Burning Man, the following might seem obvious, but I'll say it anyway. =) It has always been my belief that the hard work, the dirt, the sweat, the energy expended working with your friends to build a space in which to celebrate, is what makes it sacred, what imbues it with spirit, what sets it up to go absolutely mental. This phenomenon has never been so insanely evident as it was at DISTRIKT this year - the place went regularly bat shit crazy. In the best possible way.\\n\\nKnowing this, I was so, so, stoked to be playing, on the Saturday of the burn, right before my good friend, Kramer. \\xa0Having just tag teamed a blistering techno set with him a month ago, he and I had joked earlier in the week about whether we could play techno at DISTRIKT, it being a 'day time' party. Imagine my surprise then when, parked at the DISTRIKT bar (all day =) I'm hearing phat techno. So, that question answered, I knew I could bang it when I wanted to. All good, but in the week prior (while shopping for day time music ;) I'd struck a fat vein of super-well-produced, rollin, trippy house with a slight techno sensibility in the drumming that I was dying to play. Timid Boy. Bad Ass.\\n\\nSo that's where I started, you can see where it lead. Have to say, this is one of my favorite sets in a long time. I had so much fun playing tunes surrounded by freaks. Literally. Freaks in the front, freaks in the back, freaks in the booth, freaks on the roof, freaks gettin down everywhere. What a view. \\xa0Massive, massive thanks to DISTRIKT for the hard work, love and dedication, and for having me. \\xa0Hope you enjoy the set. Turn it up!\\n\\nTrack List\\n1.
