AHORA & ED ‒ DIRTY GROOVE #02 | JULY, 2025

Finally I got to set foot on one of the greatest festival grounds of The Netherlands: Wildeburg. For some reason it just never happened before. Because I wasn’t into raving yet, or because I didn’t manage to get one of those extremely popular tickets, and then I did two times but other plans took over.

This year I got to go, and finally experienced the magic myself. And I hope i brought a little bit of magic as well, with this set that took us into the evening. I tried to cross the bridge from Thommie G before me to the live band Mèraque after me, so you can expect a bit of a soft landing. Hope you enjoy!

WILDEBURG 2025: Ed Noodle @ The Lodge (House of Chi)

Mark is a groove kind of guy, but one that never looses sight of the warm and melodic blanket that can comfort you while hanging in that groove. He’s known for throwing events like his own Ankleideraum and a driving force behind The Noodle Lounge, both places where the love for downtempo music is dripping from the walls. It’s how he starts his set as well, but be prepared for a journey that takes you to a higher dose of energy, and then back down in tempo. Enjoy!

Wolvenroedel Radio Show #4 by Mark Mywords | 28-08-25

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.

My set @Ataraxia at Burning Man 2025 for my legendary friend's annual party, Breakfast at Troyfanny's. Like many BM sets, there was quite a story behind this one, with power outages, dust storms flying through the tent and rain whipping down on the DJ booth, but in true BM spirit the party continued!

The Goldcast 145 (Oct 3, 2025) with guestmix by We'Am

When music brings exactly what is expected to our heart, gently reshaping the moment into magic. This is a breathtaking downtempo live set that has been performed by the talents BOHEM and Izhy during the first night of ACT III. Was a pure moment of joy and remembering that downtempo is never dead, is the music that can bring your heart and soul to places that we all forget about them because of the noise of life 🤍.


BOHEM & Izhy live - Sacred Moonrise | ACT III

[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Piano]
[Cello]

[Verse 1, spoken male voice]
Trapped in darkness, shadows hold me captive for eternity. My soul has been blackened and scarred. The endless emptiness leaves me to suffer in the eternal flames. How can I escape the prison of darkness?

[Intro]
Shadows hold me scarred in the darkness.

(ooh-up)
It is possible to find salvation.

[Piano]

[Chorus]
Shadows hold me captive on the dark side.
Save me, save me, my place is in the light.

[Pre-Chorus, emotional female voice]
Hope is the path to salvation.
Feel my heart!
Feel my love!
Ignite your power!

[Verse 1, emotional deep male voice]
I wander through the darkness for an eternity. It has bound me tightly in its grip. The emptiness has almost extinguished love. Only the hope of salvation remains. Infinity holds me fast, and I am on the verge of losing myself. My heart is pure; feel me, feel me with every heartbeat. Kindle your grace and save me. I belong by your side. Your countenance illuminates me. Through you, we are immortalized in the timeless realm of love. Thank you, my Lord, you are the light that guides and illuminates me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Salvation is palpable.
Salvation will come.
Salvation will set us free.

[Piano]
[Cello]

[Pre-Chorus, emotional female voice]
Shadows recede, and love floods us with eternal light.

[Verse 2, emotional deep male voice]
You have redeemed me. You have led me home. You have filled my heart. I am eternally grateful to you. I love you and your creation. Our loyalty is forever granted to you.

[Piano]
[Cello]

[Refrain]
Shadows hold me captive on the dark side.
Save me, save me, my place is in the light.

[Pre-Refrain, emotional female voice]
Hope is the path to salvation.
Feel my heart.
Feel my love.
Ignite your power.

[Pre-Refrain, emotional female voice]
Shadows recede, and love floods us with eternal light.

[Piano]
[Cello]

[Outro, emotional female voice]

(ooh-up)
