RÜFÜS DU SOL (DJ SET) - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2024

"We were not ready for how much fun this would be. Our first time back together at the burn in 5 years, we won’t wait so long to return. Thank you to the entire MW team for creating something so special. Thank you to everyone who came and danced with us during our DJ sets and made the burn so special for us. The energy we felt during the Mayan Warrior set was unlike anything we have ever experienced. Hope this recording brings some of that energy to life for you.x."

This is for everyone who is struggling in life right now. Dont give up. There are good times with great memories... but there are also bad times with sad memories. Thats the way of life. Nothing is forever, nothing is simple. We all are given a gift to live right now. To feel the amazing nature of this blue planet. We all are just a grain of sand in this universe. But we are alive. Out of so many catastrophes we have overcome. And once we begin to understand that life isnt to live forever... we will begin to understand to live it right. Until then... hold on and share your emotions with you friends and family. Enjoy them as long as you can. Cause one day you will wake up and everything will be gone. But then you will finally have understood what life means. ❤🙏

@24:00 Changes. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. Life is simple. If you're looking for the love of your life, stop - they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing. Life is simple.

I had an incredible experience meeting Monolink while attending a RÜFÜS DU SOL set. He wasn’t performing, just enjoying the music in the crowd like the rest of us. I struck up a conversation, and I shared how much his music, along with many others, inspired me to explore Burning Man. I even gave him a necklace, which he ended up wearing during his next DJ set, possibly at Playground Foundation Camp.

After attending regional burns and watching Burning Man DJ sets on YouTube, I got even deeper into Dying and now produce my own music which i played at burning man this year 2024! Burns can really open you up creatively if you let them!

I was part of the build crew of Release (the 30ft metal sculpture of the woman made of butterflies in the middle of the crowd). The artist, Dana Albany, has been bringing art to BM for 30 years. She went out to the piece at sunset to check on it and was completely floored! In all her years she'd never been to one of the big dance parties.. only seen them from a distance. She stayed the whole time and had the time of her life! She was totally blown away that this was happening at her piece. Thank you for creating the most magical experience for the artist, the crew and everyone on playa!! Forever in my heart 🔥🔥🔥

This was the single best musical performance I've ever witnessed. The crowd was absolutely ON FIRE theoughout the entire set, and when RDS dropped Innerbloom it sent a shockwave of emotion like nothing I've seen or felt before. Incredible stuff from RDS and the Mayan Warrior. Sending LOVE to all of you who were there and everybody who missed it too!

Innerbloom at Burning Man. 🖤
That's the ultimate dream, man. Nothing tops it. Nothing!

[Tibbon]

This was the biggest singular show I recall seeing at Burning Man ever.

[lucaszimmermann]

1:21:43 You know you did something huge in the electronic music scene when you teaser a song like that and a shiver goes through the whole crowd

Die Australier können nicht nur Didgeridoo spielen sondern auch Mixen... Eines der besten Sets die ich je gehört habe.

[danielleroseaustralia]

I’ve lost track how many times I’ve listened/watched this set. I’m going through a life changing period right now, on shaky ground but have a feeling that the best years of my life are about to start… Nothing in my life has come easy.. This set truly feels like every emotion and vibration that I’m going through right now. Thank you Rufus

Hey all you beautiful art cars... I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO but please give more room for the dance floor next time. There wasn't enough room for the self expression that makes the burn a truly special music appreciation experience and a few of the funmobiles had generators running in the middle of the crowd. No ill will just a suggestion for an enhanced future experience. THANK YOU Mayan team for bringing your artistry and the vibes. I met the team that filmed this video and they were having as much fun if not more than the rest of us which shows in this addictive creation. Everyone I've talked to has watched this vid multiple times. I was so thankful to roll out with the Mayan Warrior in 2016 and continue the tradition this year. We followed the Galaxyer all over the playa and made the most magical memories. I don't know how you all do it but thank you from the bottom of my burning heart.

[ImRealBlackVelvet]

Unforgettable experience. Thank you Mayan Warrior team for relentless pursuit of excellence in art, visual, sound, production; and Rufus du Sol for delivering music from the heart, to bring the world together, to heal, to experience joy and connection. ❤🎉
