Time To Burn

August 18, 2010

It's been quite a summer. New remixes (official and unofficial), new podcasts, new collaborations on new records... and now I'm off to Burning Man in a week and a half. Needless to say it's all I can talk about right now. I'll spare you the usual burner lovefest gush-ologue about how you have to go, but it's been two years for me and I'm super playa playa Homeslice, playa playa playa, Spacecats.

Anyway, stay posted here & on Facebook for Burning Man set dates & locations as they're added, and I'll see you on the dustfloor doin' it live!
