Kotoe - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2025

The night began with a little chaos. After weather delays and hours spent putting the final touches on our new sound system, the first notes finally rang out across the playa. As the sun prepared to rise after the rain, Kotoe became the first artist to take us on that journey. Here’s what that moment felt like through her eyes: "Feeling the first sun rays after an intense rain in the desert from the RH bus on their brand new system, combined with it being my first time ever playing on the Heart, was an explosion of emotions and a huge honor. I chose to start with Tokyo’s Subway, as it was the city where I was born, and played a lot of sounds close to my heart from one of my homes, Brazil. Groovy basslines, percussion, and emotions are the words I would use to describe this journey. Thank you, RH, for your trust, and my boys Michi and Nacho for being the biggest support I could wish for. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did!" - Kotoe IG: https://www.instagram.com/kotoekk SA: https://soundcloud.com/kotoekk RA: https://ra.co/dj/kotoe
