Posted by JSmooth619 on Jan-16-2008 23:12:

Yeah, I would also like to know at least some of the DJ that will perform before I drop some cash.

can someone explain in more detail than on the website what this event is? ive heard of it b4 but not really in much depth....is this just a massive rave in the desert? who are some past djs that have played this event? good reviews? complaints? any info would be appreciated...im very interested in this

the djs that play at burning man are very insignificant in the concept and community of burning man. there have been some big names that have made it out there, such as christopher lawrence, tiesto, paul oakenfold, lee coombs and others, but this is just a bonus of being at the event.

burning man is a gifting community created to inspire absolute freedom of the human will. it started with a small group of people on baker beach in san francisco and has now grown to 50,000 people occupying Black Rock City in nevada. it is a place where the most creative art work is made and displayed for just one week. personally, it is the greatest feeling of collectiveness i have ever experienced and there is no other place in the world that gives you the same feeling. there are no plain people at burning man. every single person is full of love and spirit that you cant help but feel at home there. there is no quick way of describing burning man so here are some pics from 07.

There isn't really a line-up there is tons of music going on all over the place.

i wanna go so bad!!!!!! it just sucks that it's the second week of school and they frown upon teachers taking a week off of school after having the whole summer off. ugh!!! but still. i may try to go that thursday-monday since it's labor day weekend if not this year then next!!!

My co-worker's cousin (girl) goes every year and always has a blast. I know of people that have gone (their 1st time) for a few days and have said they're going back but for a much longer time. They've all said it was an awesome experience!
It's not all about partying and getting all fugged up but more about what Calmlikeabomb said, "absolute freedom of the human will!"

There's different things to do, different types of music being playing, and of course different people from everywhere that you can meet. I haven't been to it but I can only imagine what a feeling it must be to be there, be part of it and enjoy it all!

there is no set lineup.

there are no set areas/arenas.

I've never been but my best friend goes every year and tells me stories. I'm definitely gonna go soon.

There are areas/tents playing music 24/7. You can party anytime you want basically. From what my friend told me the dominant form of music is House. They also have areas playing trance, drum n bass, dubstep, downtempo. Basically anything in the electronica field (no commercial music). Big name DJ's play at burning man every year, you just dont know who to expect. Like someone mentioned above, Tiesto and countless other big name dj's have played there UNANNOUNCED.

here are a couple dope videos from Burning Man (there are SOOO many on youtube):

When you go to BM, you have NO idea how your week will unfold!! It is the most beautiful and amazing "event" anyone could imagine. I can't imagine not going now. I look forward to it all year long. The DJs are a very insignificant part of the experience. Funny to see them out there though!

there is no dj line-up...lol... no one gets paid to play. djs come beacuse they know how special it is...anyone can set up a soundsystem...

it's an arts festival. its another planet. it cannot be described in words.
