Burning Man 2025 Progressive & Melodic House | Zakat Live from Smile High

Description

🔥 This is a live recording from my set on the Smile High Art Car during the Man Burn at Burning Man 2025. Smile High, built by my friend Eric, is a spaceship-inspired art car — and the energy on board that night was unforgettable. I only captured the final two hours of this ~3-hour journey, but it perfectly reflects the ride we all took together. The set flowed completely unplanned, moving through progressive house → indie dance → melodic techno → back into progressive house and progressive breaks. This one started right around sunset — fitting, since my DJ name, Zakat, means “sunset” in Russian 🌅. This Burn, I didn’t really have scheduled sets outside of my Burnpops camp, but I was manifesting the chance to share my sound somewhere new on playa. That’s when I spotted Eric on Smile High during Burn Night, and he asked if I wanted to jump on the decks. I enthusiastically said yes — and the rest became one of my most memorable sets yet. It felt like a full-circle moment: years ago, Eric was the first person to let me “DJ” (off my phone!) at the Renegade Burn on the fabled Dust Bus. That little taste of DJing lit the spark that put me on this journey — and now, playing Burn Night on Smile High, it all came back around in the best way possible. Tracklist: 1.
