My next guest is Syd Gris, the co-founder of the Opulent Temple collective at Burning Man.
He is also the founder of Opel Productions, (2002) which has been consistently throwing club events and parties with purpose in San Francisco for 20 years.
You’ve seen him at Burning Man, but also Lightning in a Bottle, Outside Lands, Bottlerock, Wakarusa, WTFestival, Fabric London, Love Parade and countless more.
From Carl, Armin, and Tiesto to Gorgon City, Hot Since 82, and Diplo, he's played with everyone and knows what to do with a wide range of dance floor moments.
In his day job, he is a child psychologist with a Doctorate in transpersonal psychology. He helps run a mental health clinic in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco that focuses on the assessment and treatment of kids in the foster care system and keeps a part-time private practice.
