Alkaline A068: Shamiran (Camp YOUniversal)

📅 [3/18/26]

The Soundtrack to Your Burn In this session, we welcome a true sonic ambassador of the global community. Born in Iran and based in Los Angeles, Shamiran is an artist, musician, and sonic selector who has become a mainstay at Camp YOUniversal, known for their Persian Tea House (designed by the legendary Gregg Fleishman). A community activator and human rights activist to the bones, Shamiran can usually be found on playa with the sound and production team for Distrikt and coordinating Woman Life Freedom events in the default world. If she sounds familiar, it's because she was a part of Burner Podcast's 2025 Pre-Playa Planner crew. This set, recorded on Wednesday at Camp YOUniversal in Black Rock City during Burning Man 2022.

The project serves the community through three distinct channels:

Burner Podcast: The original traditional interview show featuring audio memoirs and deep-dive conversations.
Alkaline: The DJ mix show and sonic documentation of the global Burner community—the soundtrack to your Burn.
The Dispatch: A space for remote check-ins, time-sensitive updates, and direct addresses to the International Burnersphere.
