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. ¨

Let’s continue keeping the ADE energy alive! 

We’re happy to bring you this powerful set from our memorable times during the ADE 2024, The Seekers of Light! 

Arc, one of The Gardens of Babylon's biggest supporters since the beginning, returned to WesterUnie with his signature acid beats and rock lullabies, blending playfulness and authenticity in a way only he can.. 

From start to finish, entire weekend was fueled with the best energy, and Arc’s ignition was leaving us all with memories to relive again.

We would like to invite you to dive in deep to this live-recording from the Saturday evening and relive these memories with us. 

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, like, share and keep an eye on Arc here:

¨Returning to the desert after two years and playing on the impressive new Galaxyer art car for my Mexican fam surrounded by so many dear friends was pure bliss and very emotional for me. I touched almost the sunrise of Thursday morning and could dance under the pink clouds framed by the iconic lasers and the impressive fire show. 

This year was one of the best Burns I had so far, I received so much love and I am beyond grateful for every single minute. Thank you to the Mayan Warrior crew for your trust over so many years!¨

Mira - Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2024

¨Since I started making music, it’s always been one of my biggest dreams to play on the Mayan Warrior - and this year it became a reality. The gig got confirmed just a couple weeks before, in person, on the Wiese floor at Garbicz festival. I‘ll never forget this moment… Bursting of excitement, I’ve subsequently poured all my heart and energy into preparing for the week out in the dust and above all the set on that majestic artcar out in the desert of Nevada.

I wanted the set to be personal, featuring many tracks from artists who have played a significant role in my musical journey over the years as well as obviously some fresh new tunes from myself. In the little time I had left I managed to combine all that into the story that I got to tell on Wednesday night. Surprisingly zen, deeply grateful and content, I played this set surrounded by the sweetest bunch of people looking out in the colorful and bountiful sea of lights in front of me.

With all my heart I thank you Mayan Warrior, Rodrigo, Pablo, Amal and everyone else behind the scenes for your work, for creating such an impressive artcar, for endlessly inspiring me over the years and for letting me be a part of the Mayan story.¨

Still buzzing from the my dear friend Mira's birthday celebration party, which became a tradition for me to attend over the years (check my last years set's caption for a little backstory) I again had the honor of playing at 47 Katzen Tanzen Auf'm Tisch at Heinz Hopper this past Sunday afternoon after my dear friend, super talented MANTi and before the legend Echonomist. I danced with a lot of friends around the world, heard incredible sets from dear colleagues and friends and I felt like it was a healing experience for me at the right moment and it reconnected me with why I do what I do <3  Happy to share my set from Sunday afternoon, I hope you enjoy

Happy Birthday Mira!
