Which date could be better to release a fundraiser set I’ve played for my Mexican Mayan Warrior fam than the week where we would normally stroll over the playa in Nevada. I can tell I miss it a lot and can’t wait to return next year properly. 
This set got recorded a month ago in NYC with the full art car at the Brooklyn Mirage. It was a hot and rainy summer night, with a pretty magical vibe and so spectacular with all the lasers & fire. We had a little blackout at the end caused by the heavy rain which soaked all of us and of course the equipment too but this made it even more special.

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,
The Gardens of Babylon

Nour // The Seekers of Lights ADE 2019

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.

Definitely my favourite dancefloor in Cape Town to play for - such a beautiful setting and a wonderful open-minded crowd as always. What an afternoon! Hope you enjoy :)

Cacao Records is pleased to announce the return of the podcast series "Cacao Dopecast". Each month we will upload a podcast, so stay tuned to find out who will be our next guest.

For this month, we have the uprising duo talent "Sparrow & Barbossa". Sparrow & Barbossa is a dj and producer duo formed by the Swiss Bryan Coletta and the Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli. 

Bryan is a pianist and comes from a musical family, his father is the legendary guitarist Francis Coletta who worked with artists like Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones or Frank Sinatra among others. Since very young he’s been influenced by soul, jazz and funk until he took it to the plates with remixes like Fictionalise from Cubicolor with his strong capacity of improvisation and versatility. 

Emiliano was born and raised in a region of Uruguay dominated by African colonials and got widely influenced by what’s called “The Culture Of Candombe”, pure african tribal rhythm coming from the colonialism. Very young he moved to Europe where he connected with the music there, starting to give a form to his style in the electronic music world with Chus & Ceballos and Joesky (USA). Together they form Sparrow & Barbossa, producing a fusion between organic and more electronic progressive sounds. 

The age difference between the two make they’re sets and productions sound unique. While Bryan brings the freshness of modern sounds and melodies, Emiliano fine tunes the rhythmic part. Globe-trotters, they’re true lovers of ethnies and lost cultures, devoted to transmit this legacy through electronic music.

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

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,

The Gardens of Babylon

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...
