The return of VANDER!

We are proud to call VANDER family for almost a decade now. From being part of our core team, to rising talent, to rockstar DJ closing sets at The Monastery and beyond.

When his roots called him back home to the Dominican Republic, we always knew he’d return one day, one way or another. And so he did.

On Saturday, July 19, VANDER closed the Sandstage with such sass and glory, it felt as if this super talent had never left. Once family, always family.

Have a listen and show some love!
We think it’s an AWESOME SET — let’s get ready for the weeeeekend! 🎶✨

The Dunes of Babylon '25 - VANDER

Welcome to this new RISE Breathwork journey — a 25-minute practice created to help you ground, reset, and integrate after Burning Man. The playa has a way of expanding us, cracking us open, and showing us new layers of ourselves. This session is designed to help you anchor those lessons, release what no longer serves, and carry the essence of your Burn back into daily life.

Your guide: Joep Mencke — breathwork facilitator, DJ, and music producer — has led sessions across the globe for the past three years. His mission is to make transformation accessible and to support integration beyond peak experiences. In this practice, you’ll move through cycles of conscious connected breathing (activation) and retentions (relaxation) — all supported by an original soundtrack composed by Joep. The music blends grounding textures, expansive harmonies, and immersive soundscapes, guiding you into presence and deeper connection.

What to expect in this session:
• 25-minute guided breathwork journey
• Four cycles designed for grounding and integration after Burning Man (Joy, Lessons, Letting Go, and Connection)
• Original music and soundscapes by Joep Mencke
• Focussed on reflection and integration
• Accessible to all levels — no prior experience required

Wearing headphones is a must — they help you stay in your own bubble and fully immerse without distractions from your environment.

Can be done sitting or lying down in a comfortable, undisturbed space.

Breathwork Instructions

This is a connected breath practice — no pause between inhale and exhale.
• Inhale: Belly & chest expand
• Exhale: Belly & chest fall
• Breathing in: Mouth (more powerful) or nose (gentler)
• Breathing out: Mouth
• Each cycle includes dynamic breathing followed by two retentions (~45 sec after exhale, then ~45 sec after inhale).
• You may feel tingling, changes in temperature, or mild muscle tension — these are normal effects of breathwork.
• If overwhelmed, return to gentle breathing in and out through the nose (focus on prolonging your exhale).
• Always listen to your body and never force anything.

⸻

⚠ Important Contraindications

If you have a history of psychosis or epileptic seizures, this practice is not for you.

If you are currently pregnant, please listen closely to your body. Only participate if it feels right for you — and do not perform or hold any of the breath retentions.

If in doubt, consult your physician.

Burning Man Integration 25-Min - RISE Breathwork with Joep Mencke 006

This recording is from my sunrise set on the Axolotl art car at Burning Man 2025. The music unfolded with the desert light, moving from the light filled night into the warmth of morning. It’s a reflection of that moment when time slows, and the Playa feels suspended between two worlds.

What stays with me most are the smiles, the energy, the eye contact, and the absence of worry I felt from everyone around me. It was a connection I will never forget.

Thank you and much love to the Axolotl Art Car and 1001 Nights family for giving me the space to express myself in the most magical place on earth.

MIICHII Sunrise Set at Axolotl - Burning Man 2025

Somewhere between night and sunrise, the bus became a spaceship and together we danced into outer space.
Every beat felt alive, every smile a spark that carried us higher. The night began in deep color and rhythm, and as the first light touched the sky, it felt like we were floating beyond time, just sound, motion, and pure connection.

Infinite gratitude to the GOAT community for holding this space of freedom and love, and to Roos Dessing for bringing this dream to life.
A moment that lives on in sound, color, and stardust. 🌈🪩🚀
