Watch FKJ Play A Live Set On A Desolate Bolivian Salt Flat [Full Pro-Shot Video]

On Monday, FKJ mounted a very special performance as a Facebook live stream via Cercle, a platform dedicated to filming and broadcasting DJ sets and live performances from “carefully selected and unusual places.”

For this livestream, FKJ transmitted his signature “expanding grooves” from the Salar De Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat. Located in southwest Bolivia near the crest of the Andes mountain range, this incredible geological formation creates an almost alien landscape, with beautiful panoramic views of the mountainous surroundings and the crystal mountain skies above. Thanks to its unusually flat topography and high mineral content, when it rains on Salar De Uyuni, the salt flat acts as an enormous natural mirror, creating the visual illusion of being able to walk on water.

As Cercle explained in a previous post announcing the performance post announcing the stream, “although this one will be extremely difficult to organize (Salar de Uyuni is 12000 feet high, with no cellular connexion [sic] and difficult weather conditions), we are more than excited about it.”

Needless to say, the video is visually astounding. It’s something you need to see to believe—and even when you do see it, it’s still difficult to wrap your head around exactly what’s happening. Check out the video for one of the most beautiful, entrancing, and surreal live performance videos we’ve ever seen below:

FKJ has a history of staging unique live performances with breathtaking backdrops. In 2017, FKJ shared a breathtaking video of an intimate performance at the Paris Modern Art Museum in front of “La Fée Electricité” (“The Electricity Fairy”), a massive mural by late French painter Raoul Dufy on the gently curved wall to the entrance of the museum’s Pavillon de la Lumière et de l’Électricité (“Pavilion of Light and Electricity”). You can watch that performance here.

FKJ is currently in the midst of an extensive 2019 world tour. Following stops in the U.K. and Europe over the course of the past month, FKJ will head to North America for a lengthy run of shows throughout the months of April and May. For more information, head to his website here.
