The Opulent Temple started as a large scale art & music theme camp at the annual Burning Man arts festival that takes place in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, celebrated the week before Labor Day. We throw nightly parties showcasing underground world class electronic dance music in a setting of art and creation we've made ourselves. The effort is self generated by the tribe and no one gets paid to create our production. On the contrary, key members put much of their own time, effort, and sometimes money all year around into bringing it back every year. Our community and fund raising events are based in San Francisco and though our production is associated with the BM event, we will be taking it to other settings. The Opulent Temple Podcast shines the spotlight on the resident djs of the OT family and features mixes exploring the diverse musical flavors of underground electronica, including electro, progressive, techno, breaks, tech funk, indie/nu-disco, trance, and a dash of dubstep-glitch. This show consists of Opulent Temple residents and special guests. You can learn more about Opulent Temple, our djs, music, events, community happenings, and everything else in between, by visiting us online at Opulent Temple dot org.

Opulent Temple Podcast #12 - Dulce Vita - POINT BREAK

  • Opulent Temple Podcast #12 - Dulce Vita - POINT BREAK
  • At Opulent Temple 2010, located at playa coordinates 2:00 and Baghdad, you will find Dulce playing her signature hard funky breaks sound - just like the massive peak tunes on this podcast mix - along with dashes of dubstep, glitch, and IDM. 

    Dulce has come a long way since first joining OT in 2006.  The next year brought on her infamous Sunrise set - that time, that place, at that one special moment in time that was so quintessentially Burning Man.  These years crucially shaped Dulce's next steps as a true performer and her appreciation of those of you equally rocking out on the dance floor.

    Burning Man 2010 is a special one for DV, marking her 5th year with Opulent Temple.  POINT BREAK is a mix designed to commemorate her past years with OT and the relationships fostered as a result, from yesterday's friends to today's family.  To be a core resident DJ for OT is no easy accomplishment.  That title means you have made major contributions and input countless hours and sleepless nights  - not only during 12 days in the desert - but YEAR ROUND to create something magical for our community to enjoy.

    This mix is dedicated to those core residents: Syd, Rich, Vinkalmann, Dutch, Drew, Cos, Jeff, Dex, Billy C., Billy S., Jason, Brian - for the friendship, the inspiration, and the sheer magnitude of major contributions that make Opulent Temple possible.

  • Opulent Temple Podcast #5 - Brian Peek Birthday Mix
  • A relative newcomer to the Opulent Temple collective, Brian Peek's style ranges from breaks & electro, tech house and progressive, to chunky down and midtempo electronic grooves. "For this mix, the direction I chose stemmed from a question that came to me after first hearing 'Get Ripped', the first track in my set. How would I follow up a set to a track as huge as this one? Fortunately for you, the answer turned out better than anticipated. Expect hard-hitting breaks, dirty basslines, detailed production and twisted sound design from the likes of Funkatech Records, Dead Famous, and Broken Robot Records, just to name a few.
