Right now I should be in the Monegros desert at the Nowhere festival but my health said no, so here is my Nowhere 2024 tribute mix. Enjoy.

Here is the first of the DJ sets I played this year at Nowhere 2009. Not the first I played this year in the Monegros desert, but probably the one where I had more fun playing. Enjoy the very funky and uplifting 2hrs sunset session (8-10PM) I played at the new amazing Belgian barrio KosmoZoo. I kicked the DJ set off with a very funky deep house tune I really love, then jumped immediately into Chicago house, mostly exploring the production of UK-based house label Soul Revolution, that I have recently discovered on BandCamp. At around half set I moved to UK garage and bass music, I dropped some afro-jamaican-brazilian percussions, and I finally closed the set with a bit of progressive deep house tunes. The final part of the set has been epic, a desert classic. A night dust storm was approaching, while the sunset painted the sky in reds and blacks, and the first drops of rain started coming down. Meanwhile, the KosmoZoo crew was protecting speakers and electronics from rain and securing tarps from the wind, I was playing a remixed version of Nathan Fake’s “The Sky was Pink”, and everybody kept dancing until the end of the set. Loved it. Stay tuned, as I will be releasing all other Nowhere 2019 DJ sets soon!

Another DJ set from those played last summer at the Nowhere festival in Spain, as a resident at the Funktion One-powered Garden of Joy camp. This set is an extract from a 3hrs DJ set – but after the first hour we had a power break and I had to edit the recorded session, cutting it down to 2 hrs. Enjoy!

Are you ready to go back in the days? Not just the Nowhere days, I mean the real deal of the halcyon days of techno. So here we go, here is your time machine. Check out another of my Nowhere 2016’s DJ sets from the Garden of Joy’s residency, a set almost completely played with massive tunes from… last century! True, you’ll hear (and dance to) some of the best underground hits from the ’90s, early 2000, and a few tunes also from the ’80s. As I said, the halcyon days of old geezer ravers like me. I always drop the occasional classic tune (or loop) in my DJ sets, but I’ve been dreaming to play an entire set with classic hits from back in the days for a while, and I finally did it last summer at Nowhere. You’ll be hearing and dancing to some classics from early Detroit techno and Berlin underground (meaning Tresor, not Berghain), French techno from the illegal raves days, acid house ranging from Chicago to Manchester, and even some good old “logical progression” drum’n’bass. Sure, I’ve also mixed some recently hand-made loops and a couple of recent tunes, the kind of have “that vintage vibe”. Are you ready to go back in the days? Just press play in the “time machine” below, and go! BURNINGMAX LIVE :: VINTAGE TECHNO RAVE @ NOWHERE 2016 DJSET PLAYLIST Sorry the track list is missing, as I’ve been jamming with no pre-arranged playlist, but you can Shazam to figure out most of the tracks! Among the massive tunes in this mix you’ll certainly recognize classics from Chemical...

The Nowhere festival has now consolidated Acid Friday as a tradition on the Friday of the week-long event. On Acid Friday all art, workshop, altered consciousness and of course music get a psychedelic spin. Being a resident at the Funktion One-propelled theme camp (barrio) Garden of Joy, I have been embracing over the last years Acid Friday with a DJ performance focused on delivering psychedelic beats for our dancefloor. Check out my Nowhere 2016’s acid night 3hrs+ DJ set that started at 4AM and ended up past 7AM. I kicked off with some massive trippy techno, then moved into all kind of acid and drug-inspired deep house and bass music, and eventually “came down” on mellow psychedelic notes as the sun was coming up – also because all psychedelic trips must come to an end, otherwise they turn into bad trips… =) Enjoy this dancefloor trip!!! BURNINGMAX LIVE :: ACID FRIDAY @ NOWHERE 2016 DJSET PLAYLIST Sorry the playlist is uncomplete, as I’ve been jamming with no pre-arranged playlist, but I guess you can Shazam the set to figure out most of the tunes! Anyway, you’ll find massive tracks from Circuit Breaker, Borrowed Identity, 80xx, Maelstrom, LA-4A, Madame, Siriusmo, Moderat, Octave One, Turmspringer, Samuel Fach, Audion, Cedric Gervais, George Morel, Paul Woolford, Kink, Luna Semara and many more psychedelic tunes.

Neverfuckingstop – my favorite way of playing live. Meaning I plug into the sound system and I keep playing for at least 6-8 hours. Here is a 3hrs+ extract from one of the neverfuckingstop sessions I played this year at Nowhere, the European regional event of the Burning Man community. This DJ set has been played at the Garden of Joy, my home camp where I am also DJ resident – we are fully geared with Funktion Ones, a pleasure to play with!!!

One of the DJ sessions I played this year at Nowhere, the European regional event of the Burning Man community. This DJ set has been played at the Garden of Joy, my home camp where I am also DJ resident – only that that day it was a never ending drama, that even affected my DJ session – hence the title of this set.

Another DJ set I played this year at Nowhere 2014, the European regional event of the Burning Man community. This DJ set has been played at the Garden of Joy, my home camp, and it’s dedicated to the community project I proposed this year that, for ridiculous and pretty unsustainable reasons, has been banned from the organization. Fuck it. Fuck the NO Market – the project in itself is not important but at the end the NO Market, even if has not been set up thanks to the ridiculous ban, has been successful in the sense that it helped demonstrate that the current board of directors of the event is totally inadequate and disconnected from the community, pursuing their own personal agendas while not listening to the community’s needs. They are not going to last long with this mindset. If you want to know more about the Farmers NO Market please visit the project site.

More Neverfuckingstop sets from Nowhere 2014, the European regional event of the Burning Man community. This is a 4hrs excerpt from an 8hrs DJ set I played at Donut Camp. The night was awesome, with a full massive dome packed until morning, and the occasion was very special: celebrating the birthday Paloma, of one of my best playa friends, and putting up a memorial for Ruben, a great burner and friend that unfortunately passed away this year.

I wanted to play a trap set on a Saturday night at Ubertown, one of the best soundsystems and dancefloors at Nowhere, but unfortunately the bad weather of the Friday night put Ubertown’s soundsystem down, as well as part of the camp. When I got a spot for a Saturday night DJ set at Middle of Nowhere, I decided to kick in with the good old trap set. And it worked pretty well!. Enjoy it!

As a DJ resident at the Garden of Joy, I wouldn’t have missed playing a set at the infamous Asses+Aprons party on the busy Friday night of Nowhere, the European Burning Man official event in the Monegros Desert.

Not one of my best DJ sets at Nowhere this year, but definitely the longest one. I had a two hour DJ set 2-4AM, but the next DJ didn’t show up and, at 6AM, I stretched it until the full sunrise at 7AM, so it ended up to be a full 5hrs set that actually travels across deep house, techno, trance and descends into bliss tunes for the sunrise.

Indie rock, punk, metal, blues, hard rock, ska, rock and roll, psychedelic rock, burlesque – but also techno, drum and bass, hip-hop, dubstep, trap, soul – and country, bluegrass, pop and the occasional cheesy song. Welcome to Radio Werkhaus. For the 10th anniversary of Nowhere, here is a little tribute to the handful of heroes (and heroins) who make the event happen every year by building it from dust, and tearing it down to dust, leaving no trace – the mighty Werkhaus! Warning, ravers! This is not a dancefloor mix, it’s more a rock radio show mainly designed for desert rockers, pirates and punks, with the occasional hippy. A good soundtrack for a Werkhaus sound, I would say. What do you think? The trick of this “radio mix” is that I got inspired by some gimmick recently done by Laurent Garnier as radio DJ hats for his Soundcloud podcast “It is what it is“. Mr. Garner once played with a single concept – control – to tie very different tracks by their track name or band name in a very open playlist. So I decided to follow his example creating a radio playlist where all the songs have the word “Nowhere” in it. Only two songs escaped the “Nowhere in the track title” rule – one because the name of the band is Nowhere, while the other, the real intruder in this radio show, is Caro Emerald’s Stuck – a total favorite at Werkhaus and Nowhere. Check out the playlist below, and scroll it to find some surprising tunes in the stream with known and not-so-known artists. Enjoy the...

This is the first DJ set I played at Nowhere 2013, literally 15 minutes after my arrival. I got to my camp The Garden of Joy a few days before Nowhere officially started, and the soundsystem was already up, at least in its minimal asset. Right after the first round of hugs to my friends I hear “we need some music”, so I go straight to the DJ booth to open the Garden’s dancefloor with this set. Enjoy it!
