Words can't describe yet another sunrise of epic proportions this time at the C.A.M.P. (Calling all Magical People) co-created gathering. Right at the beginning of my DJ set at 4:30 am on July 4th (US Independence Day) the cops showed up to try to shut the party down due to noise complaints.

I had the difficult task of keeping the decibel levels under a certain threshold, so I had to nurture a huge dance floor for the closing set of the festival until 7am somewhat quietly until we were able to ramp up the volume to proper dance floor levels.

I am not sure if it was that we all wanted this so badly, or the majestic rays of sunshine coming down upon us, all I know is that 17 encore songs & tracks after the supposedly closing "Lovely Day" song, we kept raving and raging until we almost dropped.

One of the most memorable mornings in my 21 years of DJ'ing. Here's the recording of the full 4.5 hrs of the closing sunrise DJ set. I hope it takes you all back and for those of you who weren't there I hope it brings you the sunrise  joy and magic we collectively had.

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

¨Grateful and beyond honored to have played on the legendary Mayan Warrior art car at this year’s Burning Man. 
The energy, the connection, and the art surrounding us created such a magical experience. 
It’s incredible to be part of the debut of the new Mayan Warrior, carrying forward the legacy of the original after its tragic loss. 
So much love to everyone who made this moment unforgettable. ¨

“A burst from a very special moment. It was a true pleasure to play my live set on the new Mayan Warrior mutant car, Galaxyer at sunrise on Saturday. You know, there are always stories behind moments like these; funny, bitter, exciting and interesting. But sometimes words aren’t necessary, in this case I’d like for the music to speak for me. 

Many of the songs in this set are taken from my upcoming album « In Mind » out in February on @dafnerecords. I can’t wait to share them with you.

Thanks to all of you that were there, my heart is still warm..

Very special thanks to Pablo for the invitation and all the crew for everything. 

Also thanks to my brother Matti for your endless support

Roderic”

From Shadow Circuit.wav to Ritual Pressure.wav, this album delivers gritty percussion, low-end pressure, and a noir-club mood that never lets go. Perfect for warehouse sets, night drives, and anyone who craves the darker side of the groove.

🎧 Step into the blackout. Feel the groove take control.

Hola!

 Here is the recording of my very first sunrise set at Burning Man 2018 in the Black Rock Desert. I started playing around 5:45 am, the lights and lasers were still glowing in the cold darkness of the night..as the songs were passing by, the sky turned blue and the horizon warmer. Burners were all facing the deep playa, waiting for the sun to appear. It was an honour to soundtrack this moment and share music in such a magical place. No matter how hard I try, words can barely describe the energy and emotions felt in that instant... I hope music can express it better. 

I'd like to thank Maxa Camp & The Gardens of Babylon for inviting me to play on this beautiful Xaman Art Car...the mystical blue deer.   I’m very grateful to have shared this moment with so many incredible souls, old and new friends. 

Merci à mon ami Vince Dub d'avoir photographié ce moment!

Flow Sessions 005 - Robbie Akbal

It all began at the best underground club of Berlin where the 2 girls met in 2014. 

They developed their deep musical connection and friendship out of their love for raves. Cultivated by the Drosssel label, they were thrown out into the DJ industry and since then try to make the dancefloors they fill, into a crazy and unique place. 

2 Girls 1 Club try to embody the sound of female self confidence mixed with different styles, voices and a lot of self humor.

They are part of the Leipzig based slowereastside collective as well.

For some unknown reasons, Arkana podcast series was taken down from SoundCloud. 

For now EP2 will be here for your ears. 

The artwork is inspired by Major Arkana II, the High Priestess.

The Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and patience when it appears in tarot readings.

Arkana EP2: Morta Mor

the daily prophet

Mayan Warrior is the result of a collaborative project that has united artists, craftsmen, photographers, designers, technologists, architects and musicians from Mexico City and Northern California. 

The project’s original intent was to present to the world the incredible ascent of contemporary Mexican electronic music while paying respect to the deep and ancient sources from which that visual and auditory culture had grown.


Both light and sound are curated by some of the world’s most prominent artists to transport participants to the very origins of the culture – and to a new understanding of contemporary electronic expression.

AND YES: Mayan Warrior is driven from Mexico City to the playa – and back – each year. It's a labor of love and we're glad so many people enjoy it.
