Opulent Temple Podcast #26 - Zach Moore live Friday Night at Opulent Temple, Burningman 2009

My days as both a fan and supporter of Opulent Temple date back to before I became a serious DJ, so it was both a thrill an honor to play at the camp for the very first time at Burning Man back in 2009. I played in the late afternoon on Friday and up to that point most of my Burning Man sets were primarily breaks so I was feeling ready for a change of style. This recording of my set from Opulent Temple in 2009 features several variations of house music which I rarely play in my live sets these days, and I think it gives away my Deep End roots a little too. I hope you enjoy it! Many thanks to Syd Gris, Jeff, Dex, Dutch, Dulce, Cos and the entire OT crew for inviting me to play. And thank you to Brian Peek and Mark Rahmani, who do a fantastic job with the OT podcast, for having me on the show. Long live the Opulent Temple! A little background on Zach Moore.... An Ohio native and a San Francisco resident of seventeen years, Zach Moore is best known in the San Francisco dance community for his affiliation with The Space Cowboys (Jan '10-present) and The Deep End (2006-2009) and for the two weekly iTunes podcasts he produces, The Space Cowboys' RIPEcast and The Gough Street Sessions. Over the years, Zach’s love for electronic music has run the gamut (deep, vocal, tech, progressive & electro house, breakbeat and techno) but of late the focus of his live sets and recorded mixes has been the breakbeat and tech funk genres. Among the artists that most heavily influence Zach's style are Soul of Man, Slyde, Plaza de Funk and Krafty Kuts, The Stanton Warriors, DeeKline, Elite Force/Zodiac Cartel, Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes.
