We heard some wicked tunes this year, and there were certainly some amazing DJ’s on the Playa. We’re getting a bit tired of our friends saying “put on Robot Heart!”, because they don’t know where to find it. So here’s some links for you, some of these DJs are our friends, others are from camps whose music we enjoy. As I write this, there are 500+ mixes on Soundcloud under “Burning Man 2012”. We don’t have time right now to listen to them all and offer our opinion as to what’s the best, so here’s a selection of DJs and hour-plus mixes that we think will deliver the goods. Please let us know if there’s any dope mixes that we are missing.

Loving this one! 11,000 views you’ve got to be kidding me. This is going to be a million-pluser, I predict. We have it on high rotation right now at Burners.Me HQ. Spot your friends…

As well as our selection, which we will be updating so check back here, please also try some other links from Rockstar Librarian and Destination Burning Man

Deekline – not his Burning Man mix, a promo mix, but still, Nick Deekline is the man. He played 5 times in one night this year at Burning Man. I was lucky enough to catch him at the Grand Sierra in Reno post-Burn, what an amazing surprise and so good to dance to this awesome music in the pool!
