Editor's
note: This podcast is a special rebroadcast from DJ
Playaduster and our friends over at
www.destinationburningman.com.
It features music not normally heard here at the
Podcast Cafe -- parlez vous de Whomp? -- and we're
pretty sure you're gonna dig
it!

Welder

This mix is an overview of the electronik sounds I am currently filling my head with, including several DJs I learned about for the first time at Burning Man 2009. Heavy San Francisco emphasis here, naturally, as that is where my favorite grooves are coming from these days. Special guests include Maketa, Scotty G. and Suga Cubed, recorded both in Black Rock City and on the road to home post-Burn, decompressing and reorienting from the Best Burn Ever. This is one of my favorite mixes I've ever spun out -- I really dig the flow between tracks and between sections and the sacred womp of the bass is cleansing to my soul. Hope you dig it too.

Good
friends over at our sister site
wwww.DestinationBurningMan.com
sent
this video to us and we thought fans of the
Podcast Cafe would appreciate it, so we're passing
it along. Enjoy and don't mind the dust! ~DJ Fundi

Now it is time to launch a video project I humbly offer up: "EVOLUTION: Burning Man 2009".. 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.

Evolutionary Psychejuju
09/Oct/2009 |
permalinkage
This here podcast is a special rebroadcast from our sister site, Destination Burning Man. I'm reposting it because I know that Podcast Cafe listeners will enjoy these spicy sounds. Here's the original description of what is going on here:
40-some days until the 2009 Burn, y'all. Hhere's a mix from Radio DBM that is full of serious world-beat psychejuju to keep your preparations for the playa moving along on the good foot.
I was meditating on evolution while spinning out this set, particularly how species develop at different paces in different places around the planet. I love how one bird species, for example, will look and behave totally different from continent to continent, morphing form and behavior to match the physical ecosystem. But I also appreciate how all of life shares a common foundation, animated by the mysterious cosmic spark.
How does any of this apply to "Evolutionary Psychejuju"? Music is both universal as well as totally local. It begins with the heartbeat, and evolves in to a groove, a language every human can understand. I love how indigenous music is fitted to a particular place -- how the heat and aridity of Mali, the rhythm of the waves in Jamaica, the humid fecundity of Columbia have each inspired their own musical traditions. And I also love the ways in which some artists combine and blend those traditions in new and surprising ways. Musical evolution on a global scale. That's some of the thinking going on behind the scenes here at Radio dBM in the production of this here mix.

The Playa Portraits Project
15/Jun/2008 |
permalinkage
For the two Burning Mans I've been fortunate enough to attend, I chose to participate by taking spontaneous, of-the-moment portraits of Burners cavorting around Black Rock City. I called my efforts, which were assisted by others at times, the Playa Portraits Project. At Burning Man, I biked around the playa with a bunch of old picture frames collected from thrift stores, pulling them along behind me in a wagon, and asked my "models" to chose their own frame and do whatever they felt like with it. In 2004, I took portraits with several disposable cameras and scanned them in to my computer; in 2007, I brought down my digital (it's never worked quite the same since).
I never created a way to share the portraits with all of the beautiful people who posed for me, and hope that this video will reach some of them and bring back good memories. If you see yourself or someone you know in this movie, let me know! djfundi@podcastcafe
Higher resolution version of this movie, along with other artifacts of the 2004 & 2007 burn, can be viewed at my other webpage, Destination Burning Man, in the Films section.
REINTEGRATION (keep burnin')
25/Mar/2008 |
permalinkage
How to keep the flame alit? How to burn all year? How to reintegrate the lessons and the love in to the Default World?
These are the questions the Four Broke Dudes confronted as they stepped back in to their former lives in the Northwest. "REINTEGRATION" is the final installment in DJ Playaduster's Green Man Trilogy. It follows on the heels of "REORIENTATION" and "DISORIENTATION", both of which can be found at our sister site, www.destinationburningman.com/stuff/podcasts.

REORIENTATION (Hyper Primbly's Marsupial Thumbdrive)

DJ Playaduster's Green Man Trilogy, which began with "DISORIENTATION," leaves the dusty playa and begins the difficult efforts to reenter the Default World in this second installment, "REORIENTATION." You may as well just call it "Hyper Primbly's marsupial thumbdrive," if you know what I mean.

Herein, the Four return to their respectable former lives in the Default World. We follow them from Smith Rock to the Nightlight Lounge to Birch Bay Beach as they attempt to keep their freshly-stoked flame alit despite confusing circumstances...
This episode was created at the Snow Flamingo Riverside Sound recording outpost in the eastern foothills of the Cascades, on the banks of the Wenatchee River -- the first Podcast Cafe episode recorded away from the Sunnyland Soundsystem!
You can find the first episode in the Green Man Trilogy, "DISORIENTATION", over here.

This episode was flavor sealed to keep the wonderful mix of musical flavors created by DJ Playaduster and I preserved in the final mix...

One aspect of
their journey towards playahood this summer is the
creation of a new website --
www.destinationburningman.com -- that will chart
their ongoing adventures on the way to Burning Man by
way of podcasts, foto and film galleries, a blog and
more.
You can witness the birth of this new project at www.destinationburningman.com, where you can also show your appreciation for the Podcast Cafe by making a pledge online at the Support page. If you've been loving the past year of podcasting from the friendly folks at the Cafe, help Fundi bring the mystical groove to Burning Man 2007 by donating a bit of cash to the cause.
Whatever you donate at www.destinationburningan.com will go towards the funding of Burning Man-related proects, including dance domes, the distribution of ice-cold Schmidts on-playa and a mobile "killawatt powa" dub selecter system. As a donor, you can become a human sponsor providing livesaving dusted dub beats to music starved individuals lost in the sands of techno at Burning Man.
We are serious here folks. The Podcast Cafe has been serving it up for free for a year now, and we're turning to our faithful listeners to support the next leg of the unfolding journey. While you enjoy this collaborative podcast from Fudi and Edubious, visit www.destinationburningman.com, click on "Support" and donate a few dollars to a very worthy cause.

So-called
"mundane" details of everyday life -- drinking water,
relating to people, moving your body, listening,
resting, noticing weather and sky -- glow with a
subtle sacred radiance. You have entered in to a
State of Grace, friend. The Playa has worked its
magic on you and life begins to appear as it always
is when we see without the blinders: Holy. Unique. A
miraculous gift. A singular opportunity to express
creativity, compassion, love. And on top of all that,
a whole freekload of far-out fun!
Part 3 concludes our long and dusty week in the Black Rock Desert with a blending of butt-shaking grooves, strange snippets of conversations and the mysterious midnight music of bighearted bodhisattvas, beneficient Baccus-worshippers, blissed-out banshees and bare-naked boogiemen getting together beneath the moon to give it all they got.
Blessings to all living creatures, and praises to the all-consuming, redemptive, rebirthing Flame!

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.
