daydreaming with Alex Kaminski (11-10-2019)

Have you heard about the six degrees of separation, according to which people are only six social connections away from each other? The theory was developed in 1969 by American psychologists Stanley Milgram and Jeffrey Travers who claimed that every single person on Earth indirectly knows anyone else, this chain of acquaintances consisting of 6 people at most. If Mr. Milgram and Mr. Travers lived in Armenia, their theory would most probably be called one or, at best, two degrees of separation. Think about it: throughout the two years of the existence of our “homard” project we have been communicating with hundreds of artists, and there has usually been a mutual friend involved – somewhere, somehow – making the process of discovering new connections all the more fun. But @joep-mencke’s case was somewhat different. We invited him to join the project, he accepted the offer with no mutual friend putting in a good word, and some time later an Armenian friend of ours living in the Netherlands, who we hadn’t heard from in years, wrote to tell us that Joep has told her that he’s working with Armenia. It was only after a few inquiries that they found out that this girl knows us all very well. So now you can judge for yourselves what this project is all about if not the invisible threads bringing all of us closer together, which you just have to notice or give them some time to reveal themselves.

Angels,

If you ever thought that our podcast series with all the recording from The Monastery Festival was finished then let us surprise you with this gem of set by the amazing Ali Farahani.

This set is very close to our hearts. It was the first time Ali joined our family. We gave him an early morning opening set of the mainstage. This time is challenge for any musician. You need to find the delicate balance between slowly waking up the crowd as well as getting them in the mood for yet another beautiful day ahead. 

He killed it.
We recall that we woke up from this incredible selection of tracks not immediately know who was performing at the time. He will be back. Not on an opening hour but somewhere somewhen we can shine a light on this incredible star.

Enjoy my loves.
Enjoy as much as we did..

With love,
The Gardens of Babylon

Hello hello,

Every year during Amsterdam Dance Event, we host our showcase called The Seekers of Lights were, on a Sunday, we gather up at Westerunie to enjoy music from our favorite artists and the love of our family.

This year we had the chance to enjoy the vibes of our lovely Nour who had her Amsterdam debut with us. She took us on a journey that day and we are happy that you can catch a glimpse of this experience as well...

With love,

Angels,

What shall we say... we love her. We love the passion in her body, when she's behind our decks, we love the fire in her eyes, we love her cheerful personality and the feeling we have when she's around us. She became one of our favourite artists so much time ago and she still is.

Find yourself in a set that is playful just as she is which we have recorded at our latest Wild As The Moon in Amsterdam. Oh, what a night... and what an amazing vibe on the dancefloor.

We can't wait for this beautiful human being to return to our decks, and fortunately this will be at The Gardens of Babylon Antwerp this November 30! 

Let's all enjoy this wonderful set to the fullest until we meet again...

Much love,
The Gardens of Babylon

Antwerp 30 Nov!

Deer Jade // Wild As The Moon (November 2019)

Here is the recording of the set that I played at @thegardensofbabylon at ADE. I had the honour to open the floor downstairs where immediately some of my favourite Gardens of Babylon family members joined the dance and stayed until the end of my set. So grateful to have been a part of this event. There were some technical failures right at the start with a broken filter knob on the mixer but once I changed CDJs I found my flow and before I knew @nourpalestina showed up to take over. I danced a lot to her set and later my favourite Max Morel and closed with Geju. The vibes was so intimate and I had one of the best dances of my life. Thank you The Gardens of Babylon and ADE for having me!! <3

Hello loves,

The team of Babylon is completing this decade on the island of the gods, Bali. As we are welcomed here by an interesting community of locals mixed with local expats and soul searching travellers, we are going inwards. Processing the time we have spent with our family around the world. Rediscovering imprinted feelings of love. Visualising dreams of the near and further future.

It is a beautiful time.
Transformations are always luring and hard when they hit. 
But you can not deny it is a beautiful time.

Before you, a set we truly adore. A special thanks to our friend Lawson for connecting us to wonder being DBRA. She might be our true treasure on the island, that is yet to be found out. But enjoy her beautiful set. It's an intelligent collection of tracks, beautiful. Just beautiful.

Go explore all there is about her:

And don't forget. 

December 21 The Gardens of Babylon Bali with DBRA and more..
We go to the most beautiful beach garden Morabito Art Villa.
Together as you are now not alone.

Hello angel,

It has been a while since we wrote to you, but we are happy to say that we are coming in strong. Starting the first days of the decade with a set of podcasts by musicians we adored from a little distance but that are close to our heart.

Before you the podcast of the two Russian superstars Gorje Hewek & Izhevski. They presented a beautiful journey that takes us to shores and places faraway even though we are glued to our desk on a rainy day in Amsterdam. 

Excited to connect with these two talents on one of our shows soon but for now, this one is on repeat.

Share your thoughts in the comments below.
We love you.

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

The Isolation Diaries - Cellini

Breaking down and separating. Bringing elements back together again. An extended moment of self expression captured from an endless interpersonal process, alchemizing the unseen into reality forming a new higher form inhabiting music.  A soundtrack for meaningful gestures on your journey!  Keep your energy high, You Are Every Possible Outcome.  All music pieced together and performed live.

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.

The Isolation Diaries - Eli

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

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 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...
