DISTRIKT

Artist: @briancid Title: Mind Game Record Label: @distrikt-sound Cat.Number: DS008 Release Date: August 30th 2024 We are excited to launch the progressive side of DISTRIKT Sound with none other than our good friend Brian Cid. This two-track EP starts with "Mind Game," a deep musical journey centered around the sincere message of Brian’s good friend, Diego Dorothy. He expresses his new commitment to practicing daily meditation after feeling that, in his own words, "enough is enough”, as he no longer wishes to be trapped in a mind game. Brian explains: “When I received this message on the phone, I felt it needed to be shared with the world, so I decided to create an entire track around it. The haunting-style groove is built with Roland drum machines, accompanied by live electric guitar and Moog synthesizers, all written in a call-and-response style. This track is designed for a big indoor or outdoor space, catered to DISTRIKT Sounds.” The EP continues with "Aladanza," a very energetic, uplifting minimal progressive track with a forward-moving funky groove. Its big bass lines and funky guitar riffs create an undeniable motion. It’s a big vibe-setter, designed to be played at peak moments. “I was inspired by the summers while living in Berlin, the festive emotions, and the dancing spirit. "Aladanza" means "to go dance." Tracklist: 1) Mind Game - Brian Cid Ft. Diego Dorothy 2) Mind Game - Brian Cid (Instrumental) 3) Aladanza - Brian Cid

Playing DISTRIKT at Burning Man is always an incredible pleasure, but this year was particularly special with the camp at the 10 o’clock corner. The view of the open playa, art cars gliding past, and mini dust tornadoes swirling around created a unparalleled backdrop to open that Wednesday for the Distrikt x Robot Heart link up — elegantly highlighting our vibrant Burning Man community. Big thanks to Distrikt and everyone who was there with us — can’t wait for the next one! )’( ~Zach Walker // Follow Zach Walker @zachwalker facebook.com/zachwalkerofficial instagram.com/djzachwalker zachwalker.com // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

DISTRIKT... A place that needs no introduction in the Burning Man community... yet an enigma to the rest of the world! The cages... the dust storms... the once in a life time sets... and my god those SUNSETS! In 2004 The Deep End change my perception of what a dance floor should/could be... it changed the way I expected a dance floor to make me feel! It introduced me to the concept of Frisson... or as I like to call it... the “dance floor orgasm”. It had been nearly 20 years of wanting to play that incredible camp and it finally happened in 2023 alongside my dear friend Jetzen. ❤️ ~Brennen Grey // Follow Brennen Grey @brennengrey facebook.com/BrennenGreyOfficial/ instagram.com/brennengrey // Follow Jetzen @jetzen instagram.com/jetzen // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

The last few years have been a true practice of letting go, living in the moment, and embracing all the uncertainty of this beautiful & crazy world. Big thanks to the DISTRIKT family for always including & supporting me to do what I love most & to all the dancers and lovers who’s joined me in my evolution of sounds and styles over the years. ~Tara Brooks // Follow Tara Brooks @tarabrooksmusic instagram.com/tarabrooksmusic facebook.com/tarabrooksofficial linktr.ee/tarabrooks // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

Burning Man: where each year brings a whirlwind of adventures, surprises, and moments that stick with you long after the dust settles. And in the midst of all that chaos, there's DISTRIKT; an oasis of fun and entertainment that looks straight from a Mad Max movie gone wild, takes the Burning Man experience to a whole new level. My inaugural gig at DISTRIKT two years back was a textbook case of Burning Man madness. Picture this: a monstrous sandstorm sweeping across the playa, me wandering around lost on my bike, fashionably late to my own set. But did DISTRIKT panic? Nah. They greeted me with a fresh smoothie to kickstart my DJing journey amidst the swirling dust. Classic! Fast forward to my most recent escapade at DISTRIKT, and Mother Nature decided to throw a curveball — cue the floodwaters!! Yet, the flood came fashionably late, conveniently after my set. But that night? Dehydration was the name of the game. AND my Traktor, bless its digital soul, decided it wasn't in the mood to play nice with the mixer. And there I was, parched AF like a desert plant, with everyone and their playa cousins offering me water tequila while I attempted to update the mixer driver in a haze of confusion, and of course, the DISTRIKT gang was there on top of the whole process to get me up and running - literally and musically. In true playa fashion the show must go on. Cue the backup USBs swooping in to save the day. And just when I thought it couldn't get any wilder, in strolls Diplo himself, ready to unveil our collaborative masterpiece ‘Anthem' to the world (although at the time we did’t have name for it yet). But wait, there's more — did you know those dusty X1 Traktor controllers could go wireless? Neither did I, until Diplo schooled me, adding cowbells to our track live like a mad musical scientist. So without further ado, here's a glimpse into that glorious night before the floods—a sonic journey through the madness and magic of DISTRIKT at Burning Man. Enjoy the ride. ~ Sharam // Follow Sharam @sharam instagram.com/djsharam facebook.com/Sharam sharam.com // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

A prime memory from our first Burn in 2019 is dancing at DISTRIKT for a Robot Heart tie-up with a big group of friends, full of joy and awe and acting like goofballs. That year we had camped at 10&K. Flash forward four years later, we found ourselves opening up DISTRIKT's 2023 season in their new home at 10&K. So much has changed in four years, both globally and personally as we've moved into the creation part of our electronic music journey instead of just being appreciators. One thing that hasn't changed a bit is the joy and awe we feel being present in the dust with thousands of our closest friends and bringing those memories home with us each year as fuel. Thank you to DISTRIKT for giving us the opportunity to experience such a beautiful full-circle moment. These tunes are all about setting the groove as you begin a new journey.

This set is special to me, DISTRIKT has been family to me on and off playa. Being a part of the community showed me what the real reward of contributing to BM was and as an artist, playing on their stage both on playa and at fundraisers always has been incredibly satisfying. The team is dedicated and the dance floor is locked in and powered up. All love. ~Dastan // Follow Dastan @iamdastan instagram.com/i.am.dastan // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

Big sound camps like DISTRIKT are always a ton of work but last year DISTRIKT brought an incredibly ambitious setup that sounded, looked and felt amazing. Those of us that were there were really given quite a treat. I’m so grateful to get to play in such an ideal set up in such an insanely challenging setting. With 2023 being such a particularly epic year I’m extra glad to have this recording that so quickly brings back the feeling for me of that beautiful night. For those who were there I hope this tickles your memories the same way it does mine and for those who weren’t I’m glad you can join for the ride. Massive thanks to Ben and the entire DISTRIKT crew who worked so hard to make this happen. You guys are legends and the true stars of this show. ~Thugfucker // Follow Thugfucker @thugfucker instagram.com/thugfucker facebook.com/thugfucker www.thugfucker.org // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

Wow! This was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. I had been working with very little rest, building our mutant vehicle, Discow, for over 4 days straight. About 20 minutes before my set, I ran over to the DISTRIKT stage, which was literally 1 minute away — the shift in energy was the biggest energy shift I’ve experienced in my life. A transition from sweaty, tired, & cranky dear friends to day-time playa energy at full force. I went from tired to overwhelmed, almost as if I had shot caffeine into my veins. This set is a representation of the jolt I felt in that moment — catalyzed by the vibrant, dusty dance floor and its kindred spirits. What an incredible experience! Thank you DISTRIKT. ❤️ ~Late Night Shri // Follow Late Night Shri @shri-bear facebook.com/latenightshri instagram.com/latenightshri // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

Commanding the rave at DISTRIKT has been a decade long dream of ours that finally came true this year. DISTRIKT was on absolute fire going into the night - a new chapter in the DISTRIKT saga. It was a real honor for us to close out Tuesday after the legendary Robot Heart tie-up. We came in ready to peak surrounded by all our Miki Beach family. This debut set is fast paced and charged with energy to launch the rave into Deep Playa oblivion. It was an exhilarating experience to bring our Miami flavor to DISTRIKT for its inaugural night program, a Burning Man moment we will always cherish. Thank you to all who danced with us that night - for those who missed it, this mix is a portal to DISTRIKT 10&K Tuesday, Aug 29, 2023 @ 2am. The Man will Burn soon. •⁠ ⁠The Dudes // Follow Dude Skywalker @dude-skywalker facebook.com/dudeskywalkermusic instagram.com/dudeskywalker_ // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

Going back to the playa for my eighth burn and getting the chance to play a set with DISTRIKT for the first time was truly a dream come true. DISTRIKT has been a beloved camp where I've made countless memories over the years. The setup and sound system were totally mind-blowing, taking the crowd's energy to a whole new level. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. ~RYBO // Follow RYBO @rybo_music facebook.com/rybomusic instagram.com/rybomusic // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

It has been a real honor to play at Camp DISTRIKT for the very first time in a year of complete novelty for several reasons: a new location right on the edge of the playa with almost nothing around it, giving it a truly special feeling. Also, it was a sunset to nighttime slot that was debuted with my set and those of my colleagues... and on a day when Carl Cox and Sharam had performed before me. A real challenge. That's DISTRIKT—once the first track plays, the crowd's energy takes over and the session flows effortlessly. An absolute delight. Looking forward to returning. ~Igor Marijuan // Igor Marijuan @igormarijuan facebook.com/igor.marijuan instagram.com/igormarijuan // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

What an awesome vibe heading back to Burning Man and playing DISTRIKT in their new home; that I think, is much better for everyone to enjoy. I'm really looking forward to getting back this year and playing more funky, Afro beats, and classic house for you all. But until then, here’s my set from last year…Enjoy it and TURN IT UP! 😎❌🔥 ~Carl Cox // Follow Carl Cox @carl-cox https://carlcox.com facebook.com/carlcox247 instagram.com/carlcoxofficial // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

For me, Burning Man signifies entering a dimension of freedom and maximum expression, a place where I can take risks but also the ideal spot to play my favorite music, not necessarily dance music. I remember finishing my set at the camp where I had set up, then biking under the scorching sun towards DISTRIKT. A pleasant sandstorm swept over me as I pedaled to reach the opposite side of the playa... the magic fueled by a small bottle of mezcal and there I am at the controls of one of my favorite sound camps... I cherish these moments, the scents, the embraces, the gazes, and smiles of the audience. Music is magic, but even more so, a mystery! ~Luca Bacchetti // Follow Luca Bacchetti @lucabacchetti instagram.com/lucabacchetti facebook.com//LucaBacchetti // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit

This was the first ever sunrise set at DISTRIKT and our first visit to DISTRIKT. Together with everybody who was present, we had a musical flight that took off in pitch black darkness and soared into the rising orange sun. It was a unique experience and certainly one we’ll never forget. Thank you for dancing and sharing this moment together! ~ Kruder & Dorfmeister // Follow Kruder & Dorfmeister www.kruderdorfmeister.com instagram.com/kruder_dorfmeister facebook.com/kruder.dorfmeister // Follow DISTRIKT NonProfit
