Sublime set 🫶🫶🫶
Gets better every year 🔥

nice set... enjoy while working hard and high.

I've been in my own bubble for a while now, listening to this set on repeat. It keeps building, but never rushes — just flows naturally. Elif & Joséphine de Retour have great chemistry behind the decks. There's balance, depth, tension... without ever trying too hard. I discovered them thanks to the friends at @elektronicdelight. I had the chance to hear Joséphine live in Barcelona — we had a quick chat at the bar after her set, and then she stayed on the dancefloor with the crowd the rest of the night. Super grounded. Elif, on the other hand, played a wild but amazing night at The Cosmic Jungle in Barcelona. Her closing set was powerful — I’ve still got a video of the moment, and it gives me chills every time. So yeah, here I am — still enjoying the music from these two forces. Nothing more to say. Just press play and let it take you somewhere else.

Wow time flies… I played my very first dj set in front of a crowd exactly 25 years ago. I used to practice in the basement of a youth club every week because I couldn’t afford my own turntables. When playing my first gigs I was shaking and was so intimidated I could barely speak. Honestly, it’s still the same even if I’m able to hide it now. If I wouldn’t feel this nervousness and excitement any longer I would let it go and quit. 
Since we are still not able to celebrate properly I prepared a podcast for you with my current favorite slow tracks. 
I think it’s perfect for the upcoming summer vibes, for listening at home and dreaming about festivals 🐈💫🌈❤️🦄

I am thrilled to share the recording of my set at Amores Experience with you! This set was beyond special for me as it marked the start of my first Mexico tour, while undoubtedly also being the highlight ✨ Playing in the agave fields of Oaxaca with the full moon setting just behind me surrounded by such a warm hearted crowd, so many friends and a next level production made my heart skip several beats 🫠

Me having severe food poisoning for the whole night somehow made this even more special. It was such a close call but I am so grateful I got to play this set after all and enjoy this magical 2,5 hour long moment… high on nothing but you ❤️‍🔥

Let me send you to the moon and back, on a wild journey through many genres, a few unreleased tunes of mine as well as some of my current favorites 🚀🌕

Muuuchas gracias Amores Experience por todo 🙏🏼 This has truly been an amazing experience that I’ll never forget! 

Much love, hope you enjoy the recording 🌵

There is no other city, no other party, no other floor in the world where we can showcase our music as naturally as we can here, in the place our style was born and crafted. 
It goes without saying that it's extra special to play for our dear friend Mira's birthday bash, surrounded by our loving friends in our living room. It felt like home and we enjoyed every second of it! 

Thank you Mira, Katerblau and everyone who raved with us in Acid Bogen that night. We love you!

Anyone who knows us, knows that Bucht der Träumer is a festival that's been a big part of our journey these last 8 years. It's such a gift to be able to really, really do our thing, be ourselves and play whatever we want. And this year was no different! Thank you so much for having us back, we had a blast and hope you enjoy these 3 hours as much as we loved playing it. Lovelovelove, C&S

Wonderfruit, what can we say? We're in love! This set will stay in our memory forever - the vibe, sound and production at Polygon stage was next level and something we'll never forget. We have no doubt that when we're old and wrinkly and looking back at our career, we'll remember this set and the magic we created together that night :) Thank you to Wonderfruit, Polygon and the ravers who followed us down our rabbit hole, this was one for the books <3 C&S

"1d7 Major" is a minimal house/techno album about real people and their stories. Sometimes major, sometimes not.

A few days into the marvelous world of Fusion Festival with the team of Why Not…
After a few 24 hour’s rounds of dancing and exploring…
One of those mornings, somewhere deep in the forest, at our unforgettable camp Project Why // Project Heart + Why Not, we set up a little sound system and we shared the - unofficial - decks for the first time with Elif <3
Have fun listening to this spontaneous secret set, as much as we had playing it ! 
Dedicated to our bunch of crazy Project Why friends, thank you for dancing !

Here's a souvenir from our set at the Zero x Kater JWD bash in New York City last October. Thank you to the ZERO and Kater Blau crews for having us, and to all the people who raved with us in that warehouse somewhere in Brookyln! Much love C & S

Hello loves,

We are about to say goodbye to the summer. The time has come that we have to welcome a dark and colder season on the Northern Hemisphere. There is so much beauty in the change of season though. And we have been working on ways to keep the sun shining in our heart and souls..

In comes a remarkable set for our Sound of Babylon: Mira at The Monastery 2019..

For those that can recall this magical 3 hour journey it will be a trip down memory lane to one of the greatest set of The Monastery that year. Transport yourself back to a year filled with freedom, love and memories we will carry for a lifetime. Time to relive this moment together.

For those that did not attend The Monastery in 2019, this is our way to welcome you in the memories we have created and the love we have felt. Dive into our time together as if you were there. 

Either way, enjoy this beautiful gift of one of the musicians we admire the most. We will sure enjoy this together with you...

All the love,

The Gardens of Babylon
