Darren Grayson - DISTRIKT Music - Episode 102

My first burn was 2006. I came to Burning Man a lover of house music and believer that the best place in the world was Ibiza. Looking back I laugh at how wrong I was. Although my heart was in the right place, I hadn't witnessed the passion at Burning Man. Ibiza is a great party, but Burning Man goes much deeper. It is unmatched. You have to love it -- really love it -- to be here. Thousands of dollars, weeks (or months) of preparation, a week (or two) of vacation, conditions unfit for human existence, year after year. We don't just buy tickets, we create the experience, built from our dreams. That's what makes Burning Man the best place on earth. I've been back every year, and always camped with my family at Deep End / DISTRIKT. Back in the Deep End days, dancing in my sparkly pants and rolling my face off, I dreamt that some day I would get to play for this incredible crowd at sunset. I got my start in 2011 playing the Tuesday noon set for a very empty dance floor except for my 30 closest friends (thank you all for enduring the horrible heat and my developing mixing skills). Three years, a hundred gigs, and thousands of practice hours later I got to realize my dream of playing the closing set at DISTRIKT. I have many people to thank -- my lovely Pipey, Kramer, Ben, the DISTRIKT build crew, all of our campers who simply create awesomeness, and the entire Burning Man community. We build a stage and the greatest people in the world show up. This mix is my thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. 1. Pryda - Armed (Original Mix) 2.
