‘I believe in community’ Lord Pyro says. ‘Everyone wants to
have a good time. I believe that music can foster deep passion,
community and transcendence. Most of the best times of my life
were dancing. I believe in giving people moments to remember.
I just happen to use music as the tool. ”
Anthony Williams is a DJ that goes by the name of Lord Pyro,
whose name was discovered through his experience of Burning
Man. The playa (the unofficial reference to Burning man)brings
people together from all genders, spiritual beliefs, and cultures.
Although he studied music at NYU and led several jazz bands,
it was a fateful conversation at Burning Man with his then
girlfriend (now wife) that altered his path. “We were at a dance
party at burning man and I was rattling off all the tracks that the
DJ was playing. She then said ‘why don’t you become a DJ?’ I
was always messing around with turntables and everything but
something inside me clicked at that moment”.
Pyro’s Style is an eclectic combination of several genres of
House Music from Deep House, to Tech/Ghetto/Future House.
He’s played at Burning Man, South By Southwest (SXSW), The
W Hotel and in some of the most cutting edge underground and
mainstream clubs across the country from Los Angeles to New
York.
