BLACK ROCK

The Black Rock Desert at sunset — dust, heat, and the impossible scale of the playa. RÜFÜS DU SOL take the Mayan Warrior art car as their stage, the bass rattling through the alkaline flats as fifty thousand people exist somewhere in the haze.

This is the most kinetic set in the April catalog. The trio push tempo harder and earlier than their peers, reaching full intensity by hour three. The peak is a sustained wall of melodic techno that holds for nearly ninety minutes before the long, dusty descent.
