Well I know it's mad early but I just bought my ticket to the states and am super excited as Nz is a long way away, was there in 06 and have been hangin to get back!

So who is goin this year? Plenty of time still people!

Thats all right now just feelin like the banana and had to put it out ther

Chur!

thinking about it... been a few years. if i go i'll be at nexus.

nexus rules. haven't been in a few years either and probably wont be able to until after I graduate

Damn, I'd love to go to a burning man

have my ticket...

When you guys play at Burning man, what gear do you use??

Seems like using a lappy wouldn't be the best choice with all that sad getting in your gear.

probably should invest in a renegade laptop for the outdoor parties that result in dirt and rain and shit

I have never had the pleasure of going to Burning Man. I need to GO! What are ticket prices like?

a lot! Right now they are 300 bucks. I unfortunately won't be able to go this year but I really hope next year I'll be able to as I'll be done taking classes and will be able to make my own hours even moreso.

One way or another I'll get my ass out there again this year. I'm looking for gigs too so if you know anyone with a sound camp looking for some music pass my links along willya?

As far as gear is concerned. I just brought out a cheap $300 spare laptop and a beat up US122 audio interface to run a custom ableton live set. Worked like a charm!

we have a nice little camp of performers coming together again, some of the DJ's in the posse are:
UK breaks pioneer and dub-meister - Tayo (doing his first burn)
Chrome Yellow (Cool & Deadly, Chrome Yellow Aus)
Freq Nasty
David Starfire
An-ten-nae
The Funkmonsta (not at our camp but will be there)
myself obviously

and a whole posse of other Muti Music artists and friends still confirming (last year also had Nanda, Heyoka, Mimosa etc all camped together and possibly this year too)

This will be my 13th year inna row Eprom is on it: Nexus was going off every night last year. Walking into Heyoka at Simpler Times right after the burn was epic. I hope they bring back the Astroturf slide twice as big and will someone please please PLEASE book Slugabed and MusSck

Hey DOV where will your camp be?

I had a car top carrier, where I store my computer to sleep everyday to be dust free and chill. Burning man is the best place for a few bottles of dust off. Got my ticket when it first went on-sale, but then sold it because I will be oversea till the end of the year...

Shaun and I (glitchy & scratchy) are looking to make it down to burningman this year, if anyone has/knows of a stage we could play on, we'd definitely love to play there as well!

Have we met out there ?
I've also been going many years (since 1995 with 3 skipped in there), we must have been on more than one common dancefloor together as I was there for Heyoka after the burn at Simpler Times camp too.
I also played Nexus for an epic night last year that went something like ... (was not there until) Bassnectar, Kraddy, me and then Timonkey, Tipper, Nanda and Chlorophil all doing the sunrise sessions.

Re: where our camp is, we decide based on where most of us are playing most of the week and then camp within a block or two back from there, that makes trips back to camp to drop off gear or gather supplies a lot easier. So I can't say which side of the playa yet.

Re: gear, laptops running ableton are by far the easiest. (just get a keyboard cover and a sleeve and plastic protector for computer)
Last year was my first with laptop and I've done vinyl and then also CDs for years.
CDJs get really screwed up from all the dust , so after a few days expect many defunct or skipping CDJs at some sound systems. This also makes guys using Serato with CDJs tricky and don't expect tables and needles for Serato either at most of the systems.
Vinyl was great to play out there, but heavy to carry around, not fun on art cars (unless stationary) and not anywhere on stages exposed to the wind, also most sound camps seem to have now stopped catering to vinyl DJs (I switched after realizing most systems I was playing on were CDJ and computer based setups).

that lineup at Nexus on a Funktion One system =
Tipper playing in a monkey suit =

i will never forget that night. effin ridiculous.

this will be my 6th year in a row. already got my ticket!

i also think it's not a big deal at all to bring gear out there. just keep your gear in your bags, zipped up and stashed in the car, and if you're truly paranoid just put your gear bags into a trash bag and tie it shut. no biggie. just don't leave your stuff out; take it out to play and then put it back as soon as you're done.

and some shameless whoring here: if anyone is running/camping with sound and you are open to having guests play, please hit me up! i'd be honored to swing through for a set

We have met, "MOLAR" is a new project but I perform now as Manic One and Billy the Robot. My roommate runs the Resonance Sound System and I believe you played on it at the pool @ the Stilldream campout last year or the year previous. I caught your set at Nexus, didn't leave the entire night. One incredible performance after another. By chance do you know who played the jungle/d&b set at Nexus either Thursday or Friday night? Dude was inna orange jumpsuit with a hard hat and a full Hogan handlebar 'stache. Not too into the jungle scene now but I'm a junglist from way back and haven't danced to a set of it in probably 8 or 9 years. It's been the one big mystery for me from the burn last year, who was that selecta? Uhhhnnn... wait a sec, was that you?

Props to you and Muti, looking forward to this year's burn, I'll say hi if I see ya : )

the wife and i just got back from a regional burn in MO called Interfuse...it was fun except it rained 2 out of the 4 days...so one day was spent in one spot all day long...but the music is always good...heard dubstep all weekend long...

I have my ticket! Will be camping near Nexus at CAMP WHOMP just look for a school bus (provided it doesn't break down on the side of the road again this year), listen for the fatty fucking sound & watch out for guys throwing couches off our four 25' towers fuck it is gonna be SO sweet.

Camping with PRESSHA that BETCH & Dubble Penetration, an all-around good crew of bass sluts.

Billy the Robot:
That was me with the orange jumpsuit and jungle smackdown---very glad you appreciated it!
