Midnight Community #39 w/ Joep Mencke - 26.03.21

ALKEMY - Joep Mencke

Hey angels,

The team has returned from beautiful Goa. What should have been a day where the Babylon family should reunite in Amsterdam, is now a quiet day. What else can we do than to touch memories of a beautiful time together.

Find yourself in the mind of the master Joep Mencke. We have seen this young man grow the past years in such an incredible performer. Always a super talent in his production and a stage performer at heart.

His set with Amsterdam Dance Event this year was truly remarkable.

With love,

The Gardens of Babylon

Ambient Mix #3 by Joep Mencke

On Monday afternoon my camp Rise and I headed out for the first time on our artcar. Driving all across Burning Man for five hours was the perfect way to get a sense of the magnitude of this incredible spectacle. Besides my fellow Rise family more and more people hopped on the artcar. The vibe was incredible! And this ended up being one of my favourite memories of the week.

At one point we were cruising deep playa while the sun was setting. The artcar was super packed. Everything is covered in a smooth golden light. People dancing. People holding on to the car on their boards. People cruising along on their bikes. This was such a surreal and magical scene to experience. And int he back of our minds we were all realizing that this was only the first day. This was only the beginning of one of the most special weeks of our lives.

As it all happened very spontaneously, nothing was recorded, and so I decided to re-record part of this memorable journey and share it with you.

Special thanks to Rise for hosting me and for bringing the most incredible art experience to the playa.

Much Love
Joep

Select Cuts 247: Joep Mencke

Eight years ago I discovered Robot Heart and their sets opened many musical horizons for me. 

They had a profound impact on my journey as an artist and playing for Robot Heart became one of my biggest dreams. 

I am blessed to see it all come full circle. Last summer, my dream came true. Surrounded by many close friends, family and camp buddies, I had the honor of closing Tuesday morning.  What a feeling it was to stand in the deep playa on top of this legendary bus, sharing music I worked hard to create, seeing each one of you dancing in the blistering sun…. 

I am grateful for this important milestone in my musical path and for witnessing how much I have grown over the past years. 

Big thank you to the Robot Heart crew for making this all happen.

Reflections Of Winter 003

Hey loves,

During the very last evening of The Monastery Festival in 2019 we got the lovely opportunity to see the rising super start Joep Mencke tear The Odd Ones Out stage apart with his melodic and explosive music. 

This lovely incredible musician took the crowd's energy from it's peak to a new level of excitement we never imagined existed. There were laughs, smiles, hugs, and even tears of joy.

Wow, what a set Joep! We are very grateful to be surrounded by human beings like you with such a talent and love.

Enough words from us. Time to press play and let the music speak for itself.

With love,
The Gardens of Babylon

Joep Mencke // The Monastery 2019

Since the incredible journey last July on the Monastery, which was my introduction into the world of breath work, we have been planning to do another Psychedelic Breath Ceremony. Last Saturday it happened again! And it was so powerful. It is so fascinating to so see how something so fundamental to our lives, breathing, becomes such a powerful tool to access the subconscious layers of our mind. Looking at the participants throughout the journey, I could see so many emotions. The experience is so layered. Each person was going through their own unique journey, but at the same time we were all in this together. You could feel the love and support of our family. Thank you for trusting us and surrendering. 

PSYCHEDELIC BREATH is Eva Kaczor’s own mix of dynamic breathing techniques from ancient traditions and contemporary science fused with evocative electronic music sets, she creates in collaboration with artists such as Acid Pauli and Birds of Mind. Both, deep breathing as well as electronic music, have the power to alter your state of consciousness and let you access higher realms of awareness.

There are 10 cycles in the sound journey each cycle consisting of dynamic and relaxing sections. In the dynamic sections there is a deep beat and you breathe intensely. The relaxing section is more ambient and you let your breath out and then hold it in before you enter the dynamic section of the new cycle. If you listen carefully you can hear a windchime/bell which indicates that the journey is moving into the next dynamic or relaxing section.

Witchtape #65 | Guest Wizz : Joep Mencke

That morning, the little witch woke up from the pleasant sound of the singing birds in her forest.  With her eyes half-open and still feeling drowsy from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven (which always happens in a different location and in the ever-changing company of two other witches).  
After finishing her morning rituals and her daily inspection round of the forest, the girl said goodbye to the animals, and flew into the unknown.  She knew she would – as always - reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.  To her great surprise, she was unable to make any speed and she was just gently floating Northwards along with the clouds, which meant this witch coven would take place in a nearby area.  She flew over green lowlands with several big rivers and on her left side she had an excellent view of the North Sea.  After a while, she spotted a crowd of yellow daffodils, thousands dancing in the breeze, along a lake beneath the trees.
She landed gracefully next to the yellow flowers and noticed that there actually was a line of daffodils leading deeper into the forest.  She followed the winding treasure trail until she arrived in a small clearing with a dry moss carpet, where the 2 other witches were already waiting for her, one silver-haired elder witch of over 500 years of age and one black-haired teenage girl from the Middle-East who she had already met at the foot of Mount Hermon a few months earlier (in Witchtape #59).  After the customary group hug, the three women got dressed for the occasion (the dress code was purple) and started with a long series of mystic ceremonies, before shucking off their purple dresses and performing an hours-long ecstatic dance until the camp fire petered out.  It was already well past midnight and the 3 naked witches huddled closely together in the cold wind (which had turned to the North-West while reaching gale force).  On top of that, melting snow started to fall and the temperature dropped to zero degrees.  The teenage witch started to shiver from the cold (she’s used to a way warmer climate) so the two European witches decided to heat her up.  She laid down on the dry moss carpet, while the little witch warmed up her hands and the senior witch did the same with her feet, before warming up the other parts of her body.  Witches can produce prodigious amounts of heat with their hands and soon the body of the Arabic witch started to glow from top to toe.  The witches took turns and repeated the same treatment, until all 3 were emitting so much heat that the melting snow first turned to rain, and finally the rain drops just evaporated before they could hit the ground.  Together with the witches, the whole forest seemed to have become energized and at daybreak spring was clearly in the air, with all the birds - after their morning song - frenetically started building nests, getting ready for yet another epic year in the forest…

Witchtape #65 | Guest Wizz : Joep Mencke

For me music is all about creating a journey and although you can create a journey in a track itself, or in a one hour podcast, 3 hours and 33 minutes is giving you the opportunity to take this journey to a whole other level. In order to make this special I dove deep into my music library. There are a lot tracks in this journey that have been favorites for a while. But I have also been focusing on tracks that shaped me before I was DJing. Most mixes I make consist of a lot of new music, but this journey, especially the last part, consists of tracks that are very dear to me and had a big impact on my life. These tracks opened up my eyes to what was possible in music, and moreover, to what music was doing to me. Listening to the these tracks triggers a deep feeling of gratitude. Gratitude for the incredible journey music has given me. 

But this mix is not just about the past, it is also showcasing where I’m heading. It includes a lot of new unreleased work. The last months have been rather unusual and that has given me opportunity to really think about where I want to go. Moreover it has given me the time to experiment, explore and engage in new projects. This has created a musical vision that is not limited to the clubbing scene. I want to create music that resonates.

I hope you enjoy the mix as much as I do! 

Much love,
Joep (@joep-mencke)

Flow Sessions 013 - Joep Mencke

I just returned from the magical Bonjuk Bay. This place is something else. The nature, the people, the love. So much beauty. It felt like returning to the essence of life. 

There were many magical moments but this sunset set is something I will never forget. Standing in-between the palm trees, looking at all these beautiful people dancing, celebrating the last moments of sunshine before we fade into the night.

My heart is filled with gratitude.

🙏❤️

Sunset @ Bonjuk Bay | September 2020
