"It was then, floating in the passivity of induced consumption, in which it became clear that this functional mechanism of time was but a codified drift. With our particular indifference to an imposed rationality, all semblance of alterity had been lost".

As we take a step back from what we knew as "club" music; Thodén's debut album, This Codified Drift, takes us on an emotional sonic journey through ambient experimentation and refined electronic sound design.

FULL BIO:

Babilonska (Zagreb, Croatia) is a DJ inspired by styles ranging from eccentric jazz, hip hop beats and psychedelic soundscapes to noisy riffs from the depths of hell.  In her sets, she mixes a wide range of genres, focusing on heavy bass and playful percussion, but always with a pinch of psychedelia and drama. 

She was a curator of ZEZ Festival for 8 years, which features experimental music and sound art. She co-founded Subtilno, a collective dedicated to drum and bass, footwork and jungle. In 2021, she performed at the first Croatian Boiler Room event. Within the past year she has shared the stage with the likes of LCY, Coco Bryce, Blawan, Deft and many regional and local artists. In 2024, she performed at Fusion Festival in Germany and the Hamburg club Hafenklang.

“Immediately afterwards we were treated to a deconstruction of the past and future of electronic music in real time by Croatia’s Babilonska, whose trippy vibes had a very dark, sardonic edge to them. Her pulsating, dissolving backdrop only confirmed the fact that some form of high magick was being performed. An absolutely magnificent, spellbinding show.” - Louder Than War

“To be so playful and loose within the techno space, forging an identity all of your own is no mean feat and Babilonska did this effortlessly. One minute bass-heavy, the next light dancing psych experiments.” - Under The Radar Mag

“Featuring various experimental forms of techno, dubstep, bass and other ritualistic-industrial aesthetics, Babilonska's DJ set was typically transgenre, marked by an undulating structure and smooth transitions between different mystical bass-heavy moods.” - Jaša Bužinel, Odzven

_Pushing educational rhythms to the heads.

Pratiquant les platines depuis plus d'une décennie il a plaisir à effacer les frontières qui peuvent séparer les genres musicaux et les cultures.

Trouver les points communs de ces musiques et les réunir dans ses mixs.

Graphiste, graffeur il croise différentes formes d’expression pour construire un univers persistant.

Le crew "Les ills" formé depuis quelques années, encore plus d'activisme est à prévoir très bientôt !
