Isolation in the garden

Hello angels,

We have entered times unknown to us and some of our close family members are facing social distancing as we are uniting against a virus. Take an active stand yourself, seclude, reassess, there is so much inside you that is yet to be explored.

But every dark day has a bright light and we focus on the good. And so we at the Babylon HQ take our time to dive deep into the music. We are going to continue the work with our label, we will run The Isolation Diaries with a lotttt of music coming your way and we open the gates for new input. 

First of all, welcoming Çağdaş Doğan the Istanbul based Anatolian Sessions, after he joined us for the Australian Fundraiser. Enjoy his beautiful journey as you slowly let go of all you believed in and embrace what lies ahead. The universe has a plan and we can trust it. 

Stay safe and be wise until we meet again.
With love,

The Gardens of Babylon

My angel,

Welcome to the second set of The Isolation Diaries.. As we are slowly locking ourselves in, trying to take all measurements to regain our freedom at one point. We are at the same time adjusting to the life as we currently know it.

We find solace in our online connection.. We take time for meditation, books and more so music. We support each other with love and loving words. This time will pass and so it seems with nothing but a positive outcome.

So back to our love of music..

For the second set in these series we welcome Cellini for the first time in our family. A beautiful collection of tracks that will kickstart your Saturday in the right direction.. Welcome angel, it seems we have been waiting for you.

Love,

The Gardens of Babylon

Happy Monday angel, 

How is your time inwards progressing.. Have you been able to connect with those you have missed for a longer time? Have you set goals? Have you started a new online class? Perhaps you are still fighting to adjust, to accept what is and definitely what is not. 

Whatever point you find yourself right now.. We can assure you the light is soon coming through. This too shall pass. 

Moving to the third contribution of The Isolation Diaries. A New York based super talent that we wildly admire called ELI. This super man is connected to one of the labels we love the most: Akumandra. Enjoy another incredible creation from the comfort of your home. 

Music is and always has been all we need in times of despair. 
We love you. 
Stay safe.

Hello wonder being,

It feels so good to return to you.. Again our freedom has been limited more and yet we see the good spirit and the loving vibe take over our social walls.. 

Are we taking the time to embrace this moment? To embrace the pause that has been put on us? We believe so... For the first time humanity has been requested to surrender.. To give in. To stop. 

There is beauty in this...

Let's return to the music. We welcomed both Arc&Rec in our family many years ago as they joined many events. Now their hobby has turned into a passion and we are gifted with beautiful sound journeys such as the one that is before you...

Enjoy. 
Enjoy the sound and the stillness.
Both needed in these unprecedented times.

Love and stay safe,

The Gardens of Babylon

The Isolation Diaries - Arc of music

Hello angel,

How is your day today? The time of our surreal situation slowly passes and we put in a lot of effort to stay in the present, while we try to avoid to long for the future.

There's two things that keep grounding us: music and meditation..

Find yourself in the presence of our dear friend Yoncifer. He's one of the pushing elements of our groundbreaking events such as the fundraiser for Australian bushfires and the upcoming Global Isolation Party tomorrow online and in your living room.. But there is so much more to discover if you meet Yoncifer. And one of those things is his elaborate taste in music.. Do a little dance in your living room, shake off the stress of financial burden and trust the process..

We'll leave the rest of the discoveries to when you meet this lovely being.

Until the next podcast, we send you love and light.

Hello angel,

Welcome to the already fourth upload of our Global Isolation Party. Such joy to be able to return to a night that simply made us forget the world as we know it right now. 

If our time in seclusion is lasting longer, at least we have eachother and the music like this.

Lost Desert is an extraordinary person with the ability to stun us with sets and productions. We are very grateful he joined our first Isolation Party and we can not wait to reunite with him in real person.

With love,

Hello angel,

Welcome to another recording of our fun streaming and Global Isolation Party last Friday. It comes after a day filled with hardships and bad news and once again music proves it brings comfort to our soul.

The journey before you was created in Istanbul by one of our residents Elif. It was a set that many longed for to go online even when the performance is still so fresh in our memory.

Step away from all that stresses you out and forget anything around. 
This is beautiful music.

Love,

The Gardens of Babylon

Hello angel,

As we need the comfort of sounds today more than ever we decided to go online with more sets of The Global Isolation Party. On April 4 we shall return, we will reconnect and reunite.

Until then we find solace in music, love in sounds and people in sets online. 

Dandara is someone we love so dearly. SO dearly! It took us ages to find a good spot to start collaborating but once in our hearts we will not let him go easily.

Enjoy this beautiful start of The Global Isolation Party as we step into the world of Dandara.

Stay strong, stay healthy and stay at home.

We love you,

The Gardens of Babylon

Isolated Living Room Sessions 01: The Gardens of Babylon Global Isolation Party

Hello loves,

After we uploaded the recorded sets of our Global Isolation Party we go back to our podcast series that is now very close to our heart. Welcome to another magical entry for The Isolation Diaries.

BLOEM has been on our list of adored artists for a long time now, she most recently joined our Altitude Agency family and we are setting up shows as soon as Corona liberates us again..

This set is perfect to bring your happiness back. Do a little dance in your living room, open that window, close your eyes and fast forward to that day that we will reunite and see her performance in person.

We love you.
Stay wise until the day we meet...

Hello my angels,

Welcome to a very special set for us. We have been loving Omri Guetta for a longer while now, since we got connected for the first time at The Monastery 2019. Now we are happy to gift to you a set recorded together with Kadosh, his partner in their Frau Blau record label.

One thing we know for sure, the two of them always deliver. Enjoy another masterpiece as our SoundCloud slowly turns into a musical heaven.

At least one thing that makes us very very happy.

We love you,

The Gardens of Babylon

Hello my love,

As we are about to kick off another weekend in custody we are over the moon to send you one of our favourite sets by Oliver Koletzki EVER! Oliver has been one of the musicians closest to our heart. We have joined forces on many occasion and in many different ways. 

The best thing is as our bond grows closer his sets go beyond galaxies.

So before you the recording of his grand performance at our last Wild as the Moon show before Corona struck us. A three hour gem that will elevate your weekend in solitude. 

Let the music lift your spirit and feel the love we feel for you.

My Angel,

Welcome to your Monday.. For some the days of isolation have become endless, for others like us, we somewhat adapted. It's a strange feeling to realise that you have come to terms with outside limitations. Like a broken heart that moves on...

The rule to unbreak anything is to comfort it with things you love.. Diverge your mind. Change your vision. Soon you will find your mood changed, your happiness returns. There's a smile of gratitude..

Before you, a trip down our short memory lane. It takes us back to the night of Wild as the Moon. The amazing @headwatersofficial took our crowd on a spin with their incredible live set. Let's wander back to the times that limitations did not exist yet.

Soon we flash forward to better times.

We love you,

The Gardens of Babylon

My angel,

That is a surprise isn't it? We want to take your Monday to another galaxy soooo.. We decided to double it up with two INCREDIBLE mindblowing super sets because you deserve it my darling!

In the previous post we shared @headwatersofficial.. Now the honour is to the incredibly adored duo in the land of Babylon: @Elfenberg. We gave them a longer slot again at Wild as the Moon, our final show before we all locked ourselves in.

Elfenberg is part of the Stil vor Talent family. Incredible musicians to hear but also to be around. As the crisis took them away from us for hopefully only a little while, we are MORE than happy to step into their world online..

Love to you dear soon we will be together again..

Hello my loved one,

How are you today. How is your week progressing? We left March behind after what seemed an eternity. Starting this new month with a new set of gems for The Isolation Diaries. Let's go deep into the music and allow our brains to be soothed by sounds. 

On this Wednesday morning we return to our close family member D'Arksy. His sets and performances are favourite to us because they always manage to bring this lush vibe to our sound system.

Enjoy, enjoy all of it.

Before you know it we go back to a life style filled with freedom but less with time. 

We love you,

The Gardens of Babylon

The Isolation Diaries - D'Arksy

Hello angel,

We're excited today! Our program for our family has been filled with gems. We start with a Pilates class at 12:00 before we move on to our Global Isolation Party part II. 

It has become a pure passion of ours to keep the spirits high and the family entertained.. 

To double up the excitement we chose to go online with a beautiful set once again created by Wild Dark. Their taste in music oozes through the different tracks and it again leaves us speechless and amazed.

Enjoy this day angel, let life lift you and not wear you down. 
This too shall pass.

Love,

The Gardens of Babylon

Hello angel,

Before we dive into the music, we would like to take a moment to thank you. To show our appreciation for your support, your gratitude, your amazing messages, your music contributions and all there is about you.

We hope you are holding up.. Let us enjoy the little things and return to the new world as a better version than we were before.

We were very very excited to upload this set. Milo's taste in music is undeniably one of our favourites and also this performance for our Global Isolation Party was one of our top ones. Find him on the roof terrace of our home in Basel, Viertel. Everything about this performance made us miss our family in Switzerland.

With all the love we have to give, 

The Gardens of Babylon
