Coming to Burning Man for the second time in 2017, I was primarily a saxophone player, not a DJ, not a proceder...
I used to go art car hopping, bringing my sax along and jamming with whoever was willing. I had especially fun times jamming with DJs.
On the last morning of that Burn, Monday morning it was, I bumped into two talented DJs playing incredible tracks on one of the best sounding art cars I've ever heard...
Naturally, I took out the sax, and started jamming on the sandy dance floor in front of them. Soon enough some people gathered around, and I was pulled up to that old looking artistic mutant vehicle and, with the DJs consent I jammed on top as well...
The morning went on and it started getting hot, it looked like the end was near, and I was somehow back on the playa "dance floor" when a couple people called me up saying "The DJ is looking for you..." I quickly came up and asked "whats up?" He said: I'm gonna play the last track now, and then you play the outro. Excited to share the last moment of that morning, I obviously jumped in, and was honored to play the last notes of that magical morning...
After that I got to chat with the DJs for a bit, they said their names were Martin & Nico (aka Acid Pauli & Nico Stojan and this was my first introduction to the magical bus called Robot Heart.
Fast forward 4 years later, we have gone full circle and I finally got the honor to tell my own story on, what is in my opinion, the best stage in the world to play music...
I hope you will enjoy this ride, at least as much as I did...
Much Love
