Such a beautiful set! <3 Thank you for sharing your mesmerising storytelling, Sofiane! 🙏

Well hello to you! My loves,

Before you an extraordinary set created by the Persian duo Madota. Two very warm, funny and incredible beings we truly see as brothers. We met years ago at one of Mira's birthday parties. It was as random as it was funny to meet the tall characters somewhere in the maze of endless entertainment. 

There was always a desire to work with the two. Their sets and performances have this alluring energy. But some things take time and so did our collaboration.

Please enjoy their take on music as much as we did. Leave the comments, share and support. You will for sure see them soon from the Babylon dancefloor.

Love,

The Gardens of Babylon

Sofiane has loved to dance since a young age. It’s this body language that led him to electronic music. 

A house filled with, Madonna, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, Eurythmics, resulted in a love of synthesizers. The dreamy emotive world that these machines created on seminal music were being soaked up by a young boy destined for big things. 
Living in France on the doorstep of a thriving rave scene, 15-year-old Sofiane was hearing the sound of the underground echoing across Europe. Listening to countless radio shows and mixes resulted in him trying to mix tunes on a cheap turntable and a cd player with no pitch control. His friends and peers on their own journey were discovering sample culture and beat making. 
Sofiane was listening, taking notes, and starting on his quest to become a DJ. 
Taking inspiration from the likes of James Murphy (LCD Sound System), Yasmine Hamdan, Satori, Dixon, Raw Main, Sainte Vie, Squire, Behrouz, Ali Farahani, Bedouin, WhomadeWho, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Jonas Rathsman. and influenced by Arabic, Spanish and African music. Sofiane weaves these tapestries into his sets and productions creating a heart-swelling, hip-swinging soundtrack to pulsing dancefloors. 
The Facettes experience is constantly pushing boundaries, incorporating live instrumentation into his productions and live sets. A percussionist, Keyboardist, or a Cielo player is not an unusual site while Sofiane lays down his melodic groove on the turntables. 
In his own words. I am searching for goosebumps! If I don’t get them while I am creating a playlist, there is no point in playing! I listen to a lot of music, new and old releases, mixes, labels, and upcoming artists. I am looking for obscure tracks that bring spirituality and emotion to envelope the audience on the dancefloor. I am after music that not many DJs play, and being the first one to share is really important for me to keep it interesting. I am into the challenge of playing melodic music that has several layers at any time of the night. I think we don’t have enough events where we can listen to music that transports you and give you emotion! During my set. I try to have a certain progression, I create waves with tension and release to surprise the audience, I am not only using middle eastern atmospheres, but I also build my set with dark techno, hypnotic vocals, and afro elements to create a complex mix with multiple layers. 
I have been in the scene for a while, so I am after delivering the best mix that I can for each performance. One of my close friends said to me, you are sometimes competing with yourself! I have to create a journey that people can remember! I feel so much pressure each time as I have to do as well or better than the last time with a new original set. It’s hard work but if you have the right sensibility and artistic skills, you can connect and transport the audience with music that they have never heard before.

For LO-FI I wanted to record a different mix compared to what I play at a festival, it’s a set that you can listen to any time of the day! It offers lots of messages with a melancholic atmosphere that reflects what some of the Middle Eastern countries have gone through. There is lots of emotion and sadness with ethereal music from Portugal, Spain, Algeria, Greece, Turkey, Armenia, Ukraine, Israel, and more. 

Here at LO-FI, we agree, the results are exceptional. This has been one we have been looking forward to sharing with you and it is a pleasure to welcome FACETTES to the LO-FI family.

For the first time ever i decided to approach playing in a different way. The HearTribe celebration in Tulum was the perfect playground to go and experiment in this way. Together with Allen Hulsey i played this Hybrid Live set Up. I traded my comfort with CDJ's for a new approach with Ableton. Allen is the one who reminded me to get out of my comfort zone, just to reach new heights and depths... Sharing this with all the hearts made it just extra special.
Big thank you to all your smiles, dances, hugs and good vibes.
You really impress me each and every time.
Please, Listen, Share, Enjoy or Re-Live this moment, because we are A-live.

HearTribe Tulum 2019 Celebration

Jose Noventa & Allen Hulsey - Hybrid HearTribe Live at Project Heart (Tulum)

Here's the live recording of last Friday, warming up the night for Lake People at Do Not Sit On The Furniture.

This time, we decided to upload most of it, from 10:00PM when the club opened until 1:30AM. It's always beautiful to see people smiling, dancing and feeling the energy in the dancefloor with this type of music.

We hope you find the time to listen to this and most important, enjoy it!

This chapter of our existence feels like entering an unknown dimension.

Standing still, yet everything moving at the speed of light.

Connected more than ever, yet a digital solitude made of hertz and pixels.

Traveling from an abstract uncertainty towards a beam of hope and togetherness, I trust that this period of humanity will bring the change we need to be more united.

Forever grateful that music brought us together, here & now. 
 
Thank you for listening & I hope you'll resonate.  

Recorded with love,

Kora

This carried him through to becoming a founder of the Bercana Music label and releasing 2 personal albums already “Amare” & ‘’Aigaio’’. Valeron’s albums introduce a unique combination of traditional Greek instruments and Electronic beats.

Every Saturday at Scorpios Mykonos Valeron leads ‘’Scorpios World’’ where he performs live alongside Greek musicians of instruments such as the clarinet, violin, Ney,Bouzouki, Saz, Oud,Santur and many more. With lots of originals and remixes that had climb on top of Beatport charts, on May 2019 he will release his third personal album.

I hope you have enjoyed this episode as much as I did!
