My favorite part of Burning Man is heading out on to the Playa at night, festooned in glow sticks and my funkiest threads, without an agenda or plan...

Some of the
world's finest wanderings await the open-hearted
sojourners of Black Rock City, and there is no way to
know what awaits you around the corner: a juice bar,
fire-breathing robots, a school of neon jellyfish, a
disco roller rink, a star observatory, evil Santa
Clauses battling Porn Bunnies or the Hookah Dome.
And then there's the music, and the dancing.... Sounds come at you from all sides at all times, different rhythms and grooves colliding with the cadences of storytelling and the hushed tones of sacred ceremonies. It is an aural orgy. You are bombarded with so much music that it soon feels like it might all be seeping inside of you, changing you irrevocably.
This podcast tribute series attempts to recreate some sense of this nighttime wandering and sound-safaring. A wide variety of musical tastes coexist On Playa, and a brand-new style of music emerges from the midnight mashups and cryptic cross-pollinizations that occur as the glorious and chaotic sounds of Burning Man float towards the starry sky.

For everybody
who wishes they could be On Playa this year but
cannot -- myself included -- I humbly offer this set
of music as a tribute. Imagine it as a virtual
wandering through Black Rock City, with bits of music
and conversation drifting in and out of your
consciousness, rhythms intertwining with the grit of
desert-dust and glint of star-sparkle to alter your
moodscapes and torque your psyche.
I hope the mix will temporarily transport you to wherever you wish to be. Love to all Burners far and wide!
Part Two of the Tribute will be sent out later in the week. The Man burns at sunset on Saturday night, September 3.
