b'This week we continue our series of live recordings from Burning Man Rites of Passage with yet another gem from our good friend, The Scumfrog (a.k.a. Jess Houk). This recording is Jesse\'s two-hour closing set from Thursday afternoon at DISTRIKT. Enjoy! \\n\\n"The most common question people ask me about Burning Man is \'How is Burning Man different from Electronic Music festivals?\' Burners will agree that the more familiar you grow with \\u2018the Playa\\u2019, the harder it becomes to define it, because the more you become accustomed to the BM lifestyle, the bigger the gap becomes between you and people who have not yet been exposed. \\xa0However, my personal favorite element that elevates Burning Man above the EDM festivals is the complete lack of \\u2018normal world\\u2019 pop-culture trends. When I DJ on an EDM festival stage, I play for an audience that will most likely be familiar with trends such as Beatport Top10s, the \\u2018in\\u2019-sound (this month), the outdated sounds (anything before this month), what DJ so-and-so played in their viral Youtube clip from last week, etc., etc."\\xa0\\n\\n"So in the process of preparing for such a gig, I will be bound in my choice of music by taking such trends into account. \\xa0However, at Burning Man -- and especially at DISTRIKT -- the audience is much broader than hipsters, rave-bunnies and house-heads. \\xa0At the end of every set on the playa there is always a handful of people that will say \\u201cI never paid attention to this kind of music, but I am now a fan\\u201d. \\xa0On top of that, the other-worldly surroundings of Black Rock City enable a DJ to really explore the entire musical spectrum. \\xa0So for a sunset at DISTRIKT, I prepare my set as if it were a sunset on Mars...(with my 1000 closest friends of course). \\xa0DISTRIKT has always been the perfect venue to play special tracks, both old and new, that are difficult to get across in regular venues because they require a unique backdrop. The Playa is that backdrop and this year I sprinkled those tracks with timeless vocals from Nina Simone to Sting, from The Rolling Stones to Tony Montana. All the while keeping a close eye on the sun that with every minute inches closer to the contours of the Nevada mountains. Or is it Mars....?" - The Scumfrog\\n\\nTracklist\\n01.
