Hello angel,

On July 19, 2019 we launched our record label with the release of our first VA Compilation called ‘The Monastery’. ‘The Monastery’ was inspired by our eponymous yearly festival experience that we affectionately call family reunion. 

We strongly believe, in times like these it’s important to let the music do the talking. For this reason, we invite you to keep your eyes and ears pealed for many more releases in the months to come…

Take a moment to step back from the outside world and dive into mesmerising tunes by Oliver Koletzki, Parallells, Vander and more that let you lose yourself inside and find yourself in life. Our record label is to connect the musicians that are close to our shows, with you and each other. From the more celebrated and popular ones to the upcoming talents we so admire…

All the love we have to give, 
The Gardens of Babylon

RELEASES - The Gardens of Babylon Records

Turkish-born, Tulum-based multi-instrumentalist BØRÅ (fka Bora Uzer) is coming to Diynamic with a colourful, straightforward and sincere 4-track EP titled “BIRTH”.
Hypnotic drums, tribal elements, strong synths and his very own voice manage to perfectly balance melancholia and good vibes. He includes sounds from a plethora of different ethnic backgrounds and underlines his musical mantra as world-citizen.
BØRÅ is known for his stunning live performances, where he plays and loops his assortment of electronic and organic instruments, sings, and thereby creates small impromptu masterpieces.

The Gardens of Babylon is a growing international brand based in Amsterdam who specialize in full experience events that combine music, spirituality, and visual effects worldwide. Launching the label in 2019, they have quickly cemented their position as a quality purveyor of house music.

Omri Guetta (@omri-guetta) is a leading Israeli DJ/producer who over the last 15 years has built an amazing back catalogue. Named #1 Underground DJ in 2017 at the Tel Aviv Music Awards, his magical sound is soaked in emotion and his label Frau Blau continues to impress. Fellow Israeli, Omer Tayar (@omer-tayar-1), has an equally impressive career in music. The guitarist and DJ-producer has been showcasing his exquisite, diverse music selection at the leading venues in Tel Aviv and beyond. Additionally, he has been spearheading the music production department at the highly respected music school Rimon. The two recently joined forces for an endless number of upcoming releases and an exciting live project.

Opening the EP with delicate melodics and sparse percussion, ‘Ever So’ begins its journey with class and style. Building in intensity over the mid-section, the main break provides a moment’s rest before spiky synths drive the final section home hard. ‘Trip In’ is a deeper excursion. Hollow pads and percussive FX keep the groove deep and attention grabbing. Mutating main lines cause an explosion of interest midway and become delightfully musical.

On remix duties, German DJ extraordinaire and Younion boss, Re.You takes ‘Ever So’ down a darker percussive path, focusing on the emotional side drawing out the tension with clever sound design, while Portuguese artist, Xinobi, adds his substantial studio skill to ‘Trip In’ making it even deeper and melodically rich.

Next up for The Gardens of Babylon, the super smooth sounds of Gab Rhome (@gabrhome) on the ‘I’ve Made The Bed For You’ EP ably supported by Francesca Lombardo (@francesca-lombardo), Baham (@bahamcollective) and Sorä (@sora-paris).

Canadian sensation Gab Rhone has come a long way since breaking onto the scene in 2013 with a release on Guy Gerber’s Supplemental Facts label. Starting out as a DJ in his hometown, it wasn’t long before his natural ability was recognised and he quickly progressed into the big leagues, with music now signed to everyone from Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream to Sasha’s Last Night On Earth.

Capturing those warm analogue feels with soft melody is a trademark for Gab, who unleashes more delight with opener ‘I’ve Made The Bed For You’. Groovy hats, a swinging bassline and sweet vocals make this a joy to hear from start to finish. On remix duties UK-based Francesca Lombardo deepens the groove for a late-night wig out, teasing the main motifs into a darker sound. Fellow Canadians, Baham, create a new atmosphere with their sparse, jazz-influenced take. Sombre muted trumpet and vocal word samples take this to new heights.

Moving on to their second original production, ‘Chandelier Cleaner, a disco-y bongo groove and saw-toothed bass lead the way. Vocodered vocals midway add a nice curveball for the more refined floors. Sora take a wholly different approach completely reimagining the track with tinkling arps and an air of hopefulness.

Breaking into the scene in 2018, Armenian artist Socko (@sockolive) has made great strides as a DJ playing for the majority of clubs and events in Armenia, becoming very popular in his motherland. Opening his production account in 2019 on Pipe and Pochet, Socko is now signed to several influential labels including Behrouz’ Do Not Sit, Shango and down.

Opening with two tracks featuring Romanian artist IV-IN, ‘Queen Is An Eagle’ a low- slung, nu-disco vibe saunters with bluesy vocals. Rubber band guitar licks and sleazy keys provide musical asides as the track gathers momentum midway before an oasis of a break and chunky conclusion.

Next up ‘Ghost is Not Human’ continues apace with nuanced guitars forming the low end, and moody keys punctuating the sombre male vocals. Organ lines midway add energy and interest. Finally, with the vocal talents of D’Litte, the EP draws to a close with ‘Red Wet Dress’. Ticking clock percussion and sweet vocals juxtapose in the most delightful way as a disturbing mutated siren signals the introduction of bass and tension. A thoroughly classy and creatively complex debut for an artist on the cusp of worldwide notoriety.

Bedouin’s Human By Default recruits Mike Steva for the magical 'Tyre'. Previously appearing on Ame and Dixon’s Innervisions, Yoruba Records, MoBlack Records and more, Mike Steva readies his first appearance on Bedouin’s Human By Default imprint with the deeply hypnotic ‘Tyre’ EP. An artist who celebrates life and dancing within his organic and propulsive compositions, ‘Tyre’ displays Mike Steva’s own distinct style within two dense and rich productions.

Leading the release, the ‘Tyre’ combines unique sample sources with trippy vocal chops, noisy synth work, and a deep, pulsating low end. ‘Tribal Salute’ follows, bringing skippy percussions, engaging instrumentation and sweeping pads together for a moving B-side to round out the release.

“It’s great to be collaborating with Bedouin on this project as I think we both pay homage to our cultures respectively, the message is in the music!” - Mike Steva

Bedouin enlist Filippos for ‘After Why’ on Human By Default this September.

Based in Thessaloniki, Greece, Filippos has already made an impact in the scene with productions on labels such as Connected and Madorasindahouse. Now readying his first appearance on Bedouin’s Human By Default label, the artist delivers his latest work, offering up two of his slickest productions to date.

Leading the release is ‘After Why’, featuring vocals from Dimp, with the track twisting and turning through powerful passages of modulating synths, reverberated vocals, and sizzling percussion. The accompanying track, ‘Still Life’, marries pounding kicks and wonky instrumentation for an evolving and emotive earworm.

“The purpose of ‘After Why’ is to speak directly to the listener, contemporary sounds and weird drums make it unique and difficult to avoid listening to it. The mysterious ‘Still Life’ uses a rhythm that can’t get out of your head.” - Filippos.

'#PlasticFreeParty is a collection of conscientious, green-hearted tunes from some of our favourite artists, all brought together to highlight the incredible work being done by our friends at Bye Bye Plastic, the disruptive nonprofit working to eliminate single-use plastics in the music industry and restore Earth balance. The album will be officially launched at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event with a party organised in collaboration with Levantine House in the luxurious W Amsterdam on release day, Thursday 20th October. A world- first, ground-breaking non-vinyl physical version of the album is also in the works.

Curated by Parisian DJ duo Chambord and released on BLOND:ISH’s ABRACADABRA label, #PlasticFreeParty brings together 14 new tracks from artists like BLOND:ISH, Shiba San, Vander & Deer Jade, Urmet K, Zigan Aldi and Chambord themselves. 100% of the album’s profits will be forwarded to the Bye Bye Plastic Foundation, enabling them to increase their visibility and message. 

Chambord explained how the compilation came to fruition; “In 2020, we worked with Bye Bye Plastic for our first live performance in France. During this time, we gathered a group of friends and associates to create fundraising for this cause and have been working together ever since. We met with Camille from the BBP foundation, and together with Blond:ish we decided to create a music compilation to raise funds. Together we can hopefully achieve our goals and make a difference.”'

illich Mujica is a Venezuelan born, New York City-bred DJ who plays uplifting melodic tunes blended with dark and mysterious beats. His magnetic presence and spellbinding universe were already displayed at Amaya Society in NYC as well as at Camp Festival 2022 ; also on his own productions and edits, including Portishead’s version of ABBA’s « SOS » , on which one can sense his very personal touch of enlightening darkness.

With his new E.P named « The Constant Impermanence », Illich Mujica shows that the right track can transcend the opposites, day and night, East and West, light and darkness ; that the appropriate combination of beats and vocals can unlock the doors of our hearts as well as the ones of the clubs. The E.P includes 2 originals tracks and 2
remixes.

In « The Constant Impermanence » the hypnotic rhythm and vocals are supported by empowering beats in order to board us on a flowing and uplifting journey of resurgence. Where to ? Two ways are already open with remixes by Landikhan who takes « The Constant Impermanence » on a deep yet joyful clubbing path while KARLÏ’s slow motion ethno remix allows to appreciate the original track’s multiple layers even more.

With his second original track called « Surya Rising », illich Mujica takes us on an introspective trip through space and time starting with meditative vocals by Tory Stolper coupled with outer-space communications that lead to powerful ascending beats : a perfect opening track , from Berlin to Burning Man’s legendary sunrise sets on the Playa, that asserts the artist’s musical signature as well as his committed spiritual quest.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.
