Maxa Fundraiser - THE BRIDGE DEBUT

JOIN

Friday, February 6th at Frontera is one of the most important shows I'll play this year. It's where I'm introducing something new to the world, something I've been building with my dear friend Mati Favre, an incredible musician whose presence has unlocked a new dimension in my work. We're calling it THE BRIDGE. I named it this because that's exactly what it is. A bridge from my solo live show, where I focus on emotional exchange and deep connection with the audience, toward a more dancefloor-driven energy. My signature remains, the improvisational spirit, the commitment to presence and unknown territory. With Mati's textures and foundation supporting the sound, I'm able to journey even further into improvisation, into spaces I couldn't reach alone. The collaboration creates a structure that paradoxically allows more freedom. We build the bridge together, and then I can walk across it into territories I've only sensed from a distance. Bridges mean more than this musical explanation. A bridge is a space between states. It's transition made tangible. It connects what was to what will be, one shore to another, the familiar to the unexplored. Bridges span distances we couldn't cross alone. They're architecture and metaphor at once, solid enough to hold our weight but existing in that liminal space that's neither here nor there. Standing on a bridge, you're in motion even when you're still. You're committed to crossing but haven't arrived. There's something profound in that in-between state, something that feels true to where I am as an artist right now. This year I made a conscious choice. I usually present my solo show Overview Effect as a large production with guests and elaborate staging. I wanted 2025 to be about something more intimate and more collaborative. A new musical approach that's actually deeply familiar because it returns me to the core of why I make music in the first place. Connection and presence. THE BRIDGE represents this return while simultaneously pushing forward into new sonic territory. The show at Frontera is presented by Maxa as a Burning Man fundraiser, and the container reflects the intention behind it. Doors close at 10pm so that everyone's journey begins together. This protects the collective experience, ensuring that when we start, we all start together. There's power in that synchronization, in knowing that everyone in the room is entering the same journey at the same moment. It creates a field of shared intention that individual arrivals can't replicate. We're building something together from the first note. Nesh will be designing the visual experience. He's a lighting artist whose curiosity and passion for experimentation led him to explore musical lighting, discovering in live performance a unique space for expression and creativity. Using lasers as his main source of light and music as his creative guide, he crafts immersive visual experiences. His artistic journey has been shaped by his participation in projects such as Mayan Warrior and Maxa, as well as his experiences at Burning Man and festivals around the world. Currently his work focuses on light installations in natural environments, where light engages with surroundings and transforms space into something sensory and contemplative. Elegant is the word. The lasers will dance with the music, become part of the conversation. The legendary Maxa arts car sound system will be our main instrument. If you know, you know. If you don't, come find out.

UPCOMING SHOWS

THRESHOLD at The Thyme

You won't know what's coming. That's the point. A threshold is not a destination. It's the moment before. The held breath before the door opens. The last second of who you were before everything shifts. Most of us spend our lives managing that feeling. Scheduling around it. Thinking our way through it. Making sure we know exactly what we're walking into before we take a step. This weekend asks you to do the opposite. What we can tell you is this: 85 acres in the Berkshire Mountains. A forest. A sacred ravine. A fire. A room with a sound system built for the kind of music that doesn't just move through you. It moves you across. And Eduardo. Live. Unscripted. Playing until the room finds what it came for. For as long as humans have gathered, there has been this: a fire, a beat, a night that changes the people who let it. People who said yes before they knew what they were saying yes to. People who trusted the pull. That act of trust. That leap. Is itself the threshold. The weekend begins there. We do this because we're evolving. We do this because we're expanding. We do this because something in us already knows it's time. And somewhere between arrival and departure, between the first note and the last morning, something shifts. We can't tell you what. That's yours.

THRESHOLD at Primal Moves

THRESHOLD An Overnight Experience by Eduardo Castillo ​A 10-hour sound experience from 9PM to sunrise. ​THRESHOLD is a long-form musical journey by Eduardo Castillo—designed to be lived in, not just listened to. Less of a traditional set, more of an intuitive arc—shifting in tone, tempo, and energy as the night unfolds. ​Eduardo blends cinematic sound design with stripped-back electronic elements and global textures, creating a live experiment. His work happens in real time—responsive, fluid, and grounded in exploration. ​Hosted at Primal Moves Venice, an innovative space known for curating unique, community-driven experiences, the environment is designed to evolve alongside the music. ​This is a sleepover—an overnight format designed to drop in deeper with people you love: to dance, connect, rest, and reset. The space evolves with the room, shaped collectively over the course of the night. ​A tea bar will be available throughout the evening, alongside additional musical guests, vendors, and activations designed to create moments of connection without interrupting the flow. ​In the days leading up to THRESHOLD, Eduardo Castillo will be building a mobile recording studio inside Primal Moves—inviting artists in one by one throughout the week to create collaboratively in real time. ​By Friday, something will exist that didn’t exist on Monday: a body of work born entirely in one room, over one week, between people willing to trust the process without knowing exactly what they were making. ​What’s created during the week stays in the room until Friday night—when it finally comes alive. ​An intuitive night of music, exploration, innovation, and art. No fixed expectations—just a shared environment built through sound and presence. ​Doors open at 7PM. Music begins at 9PM and continues until sunrise.
