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

"We thought about that moment a lot of times, we have dreamed that moment a lot of times, we have imagined that moment a lot of times. 

And with all the preparation, advices you receive, you really think you can handle the emotion of playing your live act, on the incredible Mayan Warrior art car at your first burning man. 

But no, you can't simply be ready to receive or feel this kind of emotion or wave of massive happiness. Your body can't be ready. 
And It’s normal, there is nothing that can prepare you for it. That’s why it’s so unique, beyond what we could have imagined. 

We experienced during a 1h30 live set : a cruise with few hundreds incredible crazy bikes, a massive dust storm that can damage all our keyboards (with the stress to have damage on our gears during the live), the arrival of the most incredible sky full of stars and on top of that an amazing and beautiful crowd. 

And that’s why this experience is so different, and can't be described, but it will stay in our hearts and minds forever. 

We want to thank the incredible Mayan Warrior team; Pablo, Rodrigo, Amal, Jesus, Linus and everyone who helped and put in so much energy and effort to bring the artcar alive. 

On our side we hope you will enjoy the musical journey. It was the last chapter of our live act “number 1”. And there is no better place to finish a chapter than in the middle of the desert with our favorite team."

“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”
