This year we wanted to give more info and background on our nights and what we are trying to say, the dj’s that play, who they are and why they get to play the treasured spots at Opulent Temple, and some back stories that illuminate how this comes together. It’s a frequent question we get about how to get a slot, if you read this it will become clear, that by and large, you get it the old fashioned way, you earn it.

Opulent Temple benefit in London, UK at Cargo w/ Dylan Rhymes & Ali B
Next up from the Opulent Temple to get us back on the playa brings us the seminal producer and dj, Dylan Rhymes (Lot 49 / London, UK). One half (along with Meat Katie) of the talent behind Lot 49 Records, the gold standard of tech funk releases, Dylan Rhymes has produced monster cuts in many a genre and is respected world wide for both his production skills and DJ performances. He came out to Burning Man for the first time last year after loving the Opel parties and not only loved, it, but got down and dirty with us during the camp construction. He ROCKS the party in a fresh, funky dirty infectious sound. Come get lucky with us at Supperclub on Friday the 13th!

Some generous OT supporters have organized Spectacle in New Mexico
Having climbed out of a deep hole of debt, one of the premiere sound camps at Burning Man returns for another epic year in 2008. The OT will once again elevate our production and show case an unprecedented diverse range of world class talent. But, as always, only with the support of the community (since the BM org gives only paltry support to sound camps in comparison to those camp’s contribution to the event). So come out and dream this dream with us at the large playground with the phat sound system that is Mezzanine.

The OT is very excited to welcome none other than the West Coast house legend DJ Dan to come to play in support of our efforts. Dan had the set of the week at the OT this year at Burning Man. After Gabriel & Dresden weren’t able to make their sunrise set, he stepped in spontaneously and, tagging for a portion of it with his friend Travis, just killed it. He is donating his fee and his time to help us come back in 2008. We’re doing this at Ruby Skye, which we know may seem strange to Burners, but this is where he plays in SF and they’re giving us a generous cut of the door, as well as full reign to make it our own kind of production. So don’t fret, we’re taking over the place in most every way, and the night is sure to be a special one!!
