DJ Dane

Dane's deep, sexy, world house set from the opening party of Ashram Galactica at Burning Man on Monday, August 25 2025. Enjoy!

Dane's set after Tycho on the Axolotl from 7:00-8:00am on Thursday August 28, 2025 at Burning Man. This set was inspired by my newborn son, Sage Hart, and the new fractal of life he has invited me into - one of a simple embodied presence through which the blissful tingle of being shines. He is teaching me what it means to truly love, in both the peak moments and the mundane, and I could feel this new flavor of love and blissful presence flowing through me and the music as I played. By Thursday morning, after days of the mundane - rain and wind, building and rebuilding, dust and mud - I was so ready to be in community, to smile, to dance and to play together. I think we all were. Feeling grateful that the weather gods showed us some mercy and gave us clear skies and sunshine just in time for the playa to dry for Thursday sunrise - and an epic communal peak moment. Feeling grateful to collaborate with my friends 1) Scott Hanson / Tycho for over a decade of co-creating Thursday sunrise and 2) master of percussion, Noah Katz-Appel, for the inspired and ecstatic drumming. Special thanks to everyone who made it out to deep playa for sunrise, Cory, Brigham and the whole Axolotl crew, Tarna, and Edna the Elephant for making magic together.❤️🙏☀️

DJ Dane's melodic, joyful and bouncy morning set from The Love Party in San Rafael, CA, February 13, 2022

This happy house set was a collaboration of DJ Dane and Bisi livestreamed on August 30, 2020 on the slopes of Mt Tamalpais in Mill Valley, CA as a kick-off to (virtual) Burning Man 2020. Dawn Diaries is inspired by the belief that the best way to start every day is with a celebration of the sun that shines through the darkness, our bodies that feel the warmth and the music that moves us. How we wake sets the tone for our day and how we live each day sets the tone for our lives. To start our days in celebration with music and dancing has the power to transform us, unlocking the ever-present freedom, love and happiness that can easily be muted by our daily routine. My hope is that Dawn Diaries can be a part of this transformation. Dawn Diaries are mini-mixes that go great with coffee, morning showers and getting ready for work. Solo or group dancing, bouncing, singing and smiling are all highly encouraged.
