Every year that I attend Burning Man is completely different from any other year. And so was this one. I arrived Sunday late night in Reno, slept and saw the weather forecast…I decided to see my friend at Lake Tahoe and got a close eye onto the weather forecast and the Burning Man page on X. Rain, road closures, strong winds, gate closures…it just kept on going…. My first gig was plannet at 10:30pm at Soundgarden on Wednesday evening so I had some time before I ‘needed’ to be there. Finally Wednesday early morning I packed up all my stuff, last Wholefoods run and off I went. Arriving at the sandy road, right off of the paved road, I immediately noticed many cars getting stuck after slipping and sliding in the mud. All I focused on was to keep on moving with my car because once I was gonna stop, I knew I would have been stuck in the mud like many others around me. I made it to the end of the line cause the gate was (again) closed. But pfew……I did not get stuck and was a little closer to getting in. After being in line for a closed gate for about 5 hours the line started moving again and I was secretly still hoping to be in time for my set at Soundgarden later that evening. Hours passed by but I got closer and closer. Once I was in I drove straight to my camp, parked my car, got changed, jumped on my bike and made my way over to Soundgarden. I arrived at the camp and had just heard about a power outage but the sound was back on, there was music so I headed over to the dj booth and gracefully took over the decks. Welcome to Burning Man. Within 24 hours I played that set, early am at Bubbles and Bass the next morning and after that I played in the magical PlayAlchemist Pyramid Thursday evening for their Gold night. What a special place, what a powerful atmosphere and so much joy and playfulness I saw while playing there. With so many of my friends showing up and so many new faces in front of me and behind me in the booth I enjoyed every second of the musical journey out there. Thanks Berge for showing up a little later than expected so I was able to play a little longer than initially scheduled. That’s also Burning Man. Thank you all for the love and support and the standing ovation! Deep gratitude for you all and everyone at PlayAlchemist for bringing this magical pyramid to the Burn. ❤️

Welcome to my 53rd podcast! Breathe….it’s probably the most important thing in life and I practice it consciously almost every day. Why? Cause it brings me back into my body whenever I feel a little out of touch with it. Nowadays there are many ‘teachers’ who can help with this. I still do my practise with the good old Wim Hof and recently I discovered another amazing breath coach Finnian Kelly who was able to bring me very deep back into my own body. Thank you Finnian for guiding me there. After a breath session I dove into my catalogue of music and created another podcast for you all. The last few weeks I was able to work on a lot of new releases for the next coming months as well, so keep an eye on my Spotify channel. I am very excited for many of this releases which I will gradually share with you throughout the year. For now, be safe and stay well. If you like this podcast please don't forget to like and share it with your loved ones. Love, Alex
