We dig daily and work with producers around the world to create and curate the sound of the Indian Ocean. These shows are carefully put together by our selectors to invoke the spirit of Babani.  

An unexpected seduction. An instinctive call where it is impossible to resist percussive and bewitching melodies.

Babani is the state of trance reached during a ceremony invoking ancestors’ spirits leading to a multigenerational gathering with a common denominator: The rhythms of the Indian Ocean helped by the ravane, this percussion instrument made of goat skin and which has its roots on the island of Mauritius.

@stampthewax invites us to curate a Monday Morning Mixtape

https://www.stampthewax.com/2021/03/29/monday-morning-mixtape-344/

This mixtape is a depiction of how we would love a Monday morning to sound on any of the islands of the Indian Ocean and that we want to share to the world. Whether you’re on the beach, by a river, on a mountain, in your car or at work there’s a common need to feel positive vibes to start the week at your best.

It features some gems we've found while digging for music in the region and loaded with material that we're restoring for our re-issue catalogue. It also features an upcoming track from the label's Band, Babani Soundsystem.

Over summer Mr. Leenknecht gives away his radio slot to friends and family. The first one is a very special one cause they never ever shared anything from this project before. Watch out for the brand new record label Babani Records from Mauritius who’s hosting the first Chunks of Funk takeover. A mixtape brewed with upcoming material and edits 🔥✨

Babani Records:
Letting the ravanne flow in such a way that one becomes enchanted and mesmerized by its wavelengths. It has as foundation in keeping a raw and unprocessed essence of the islands’ vibration. While fusing electronic influences, Babani aims in conveying sparks the crude genre evokes. With a tropical piece of mind, the label shares an opinion of music, having for soul and existence heading from the Mascarene islands, and merged with influences far outside their geographic boundaries; bridging cultures and bringing music closer.

Radio Mawimbi #65 w/ Babani Records (Maloya & Sega)

Même si on fête la musique tous les jours au Mellotron, ce 21 juin on sort pour une nouvelle fois le soundsystem dans la rue. Alors viens nous rejoindre au 5 & 6 rue beaurepaire. 

Pour celle-ci, on compte explorer un large spectre musicale à l'image du Mellotron : , hip-hop, bass, broken, disco, house, soul, jazz, latin et oriental. Il y en aura pour tous les goûts, et pour nous entraîner sur ces notes on a la chance de vous proposer un line up de DJs résidents du Mellotron ainsi qu'un special guest :

@pouvoirmagique invoque l'esprit du Babani. Un rythme particulier venant des îles de l’océan indien, notamment, l’île Maurice et la Réunion. Babani est un état de transe que l'on atteint lors d'une cérémonie invoquant les esprits des anciens et qui amène à un rassemblement multigénérationnel. 
Babani est aussi un label regroupant des artistes du monde entier et qui partagent leur amour pour la musique électronique alliée aux rythmes de l'Océan Indien. 

Avec à la main ton mojito ou ta pinte fraiche, viens retourner la rue Beaurepaire en mode Block Party avec nous jusqu'à minuit.. et plus si affinité !
