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

Burning Man 2022 | Rise

Ha:arp delivered a groovy and sexy warm-up set on Wednesday night at our camp party during Burning Man 2024.

Enjoy the ride!

If you are about to dive into this set, we invite you to read these words, as they will give deeper meaning to your experience with this musical landscape.

An Orchestra for the Spirit was played live in Black Rock City, riding the Maxa Deer. It was an offering of frequencies and words to bring unity to the Burning Man community that was about to witness the temple rise in flames.

As we believe in synchronicities over coincidences, we are sensitive and deeply touched by the powerful fires that burned for weeks in our beloved California. We contemplated what our best offering could be to support, and realized it is the perfect timing to share hours of music and inspiring poetry, to navigate the mysterious waves of trascendence and trust. 

From our hearts, this set is for everyone feeling the painful part of a shedding skin, a letter lost, a broken heart, or a physical or metaphorical home brought to ashes that now requires full trust to rise again and build a new landscape.

Here’s to new landscapes. 

We allow this orchestra for the spirit to tell the rest. 

A wave of gratitude to Noraj Cue and Burgs for your talent and wisdom imprinted into this set. 

Thank you, Maxa, and thank YOU for listening and being part of the deep layers of being human. 

Love,

This B2B set was played with my amazing friend @marv_HELL on Burn Night at the legendary Orgy Dome – a space of intimacy, raw connection and uninhibited self-expression. Designed to awaken your senses, this downtempo journey builds from 105.55 BPM to 111.11 BPM, igniting a slow, seductive fire that makes you feel sexy, powerful and completely in tune with your body.

Most tracks are from the original set that moved the Playa under the stars, but a few have been added to complete the story – a journey of deep beats, naughty undertones and hypnotic grooves that invite you to embrace the moment fully.

Surrender to the rhythm to step into the pulse of desire.
Feel it. Own it. Become it.

Let the fire within take over 🔥!

Symbiose — a state of flow, a synergy between elements, a relationship interconnecting living organisms. 🌱 
____

I always found it challenging to record a studio podcast: my analytical mind is trying to calculate every move, evaluate each transition & criticize the selection. I have time, music & equipment at my disposal, but one key element is missing to really tell a story: humans.
____

I encountered that problem last weekend. Although I was playing music I enjoy, I felt that my technically structured mix was too stiff and impersonal. 

____

Then, some of my favourite humans turned up at the studio. As Ashley, Apolline, Axel & Robin entered the room, the studio was suddenly filled with a great energy & I felt like pressing the rec button again, just for fun - this is when the first minutes of  S y m b i o s e  were captured. 
____

I feel this studio mix is an authentic representation of the energy levels I like to navigate through during a longer set. It features some of my favourite tracks in a nod to the past but also has a touch of the future; new sounds that are moving me forward & some of my new compositions. 
____

I’m happy to share this mix as I’m taking off for Argentina, what marks my first adventure of the decade. This music session brought me clarity, presence & joy! I hope you'll resonate with it.

Thank you for joining the story,
