Our 18th episode welcomes @julya-karma, a NYC-based DJ & producer with roots extending from Lebanon to California, and through her musical abilities, and contagious energy, has quickly emerged in New York's underground scene.

Julya's connection to sound started early as she began studying classical piano at the age of 6, and since, has been passionately involved in music at every stage of her life. As an obsessive curator, she finds mixing to be the perfect format for creating an atmosphere of deep, moving melodies, eclectic sounds, and stimulating progressions. An artist bound by no genre, Julya tells powerful, emotional stories through her music, and her live performances allow audiences to unite together to transcend beyond time and enter a higher level of consciousness.

Thank you, Julya, for creating this journey for us & welcome to the family! We can't wait to have you at one of our nights in Basel! <3

Heal Play Love creates music driven and spiritually influenced experiences that celebrate humanity.

Inspired by amazing travels, and having met many beautiful human beings, as well as attending festivals and experiencing Burning Man several times, we felt like doing something similar for the community in Switzerland.

Heal Play Love Podcast Nr. 18: Julya Karma

⫷ 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝔻𝕠𝕝𝕡𝕙𝕚𝕟 ⫸ Are you aware that Orcas belong to the Dolphin Family? I don’t find it that obvious at first sight because of firstly, their size that is closer to a whale than a « regular » dolphin and secondly because of the name « Killer Whales » that is given to them. Not because they are whales but because they do eat whales sometimes, especially wild transient orcas. Orcas are at the top chain predators. Even great white sharks « fear » them.  Yet, they never attacked any human beings. They like to come close, watch us, play, and interact even sometimes but they have no interest in eating us. Why? What do they have to teach us? 

I sometimes wonder where this chemical attraction I have for Orcas comes from.
And it is now at its highest pick! I understood they are pushing me to dig deep into myself. To go see the darkest parts. And I understand those are the parts that give me my highest potential!

With my friend Julie, we did not swim with Orcas (yet) but we did swim with wild dolphins in the Red Sea of Egypt. This trip and this encounter were some of the deepest we got to experience, on various levels. We dived deep into the clear waters of the Red Sea and facing those wild dolphins was like facing ourselves in a mirror.

And what came out could only be beautiful, liberating, and joyful at the end!

At the occasion of their wedding festival, « La Farfaderie » Julie and her husband Omar, booked me to play… twice in two days! I felt super privileged!

For the first set, nighttime, I had around 2 hours to embark my audience into a special journey. I wanted it dark and crispy, deep and jumpy. So I decided to step out a little bit of my comfort zone that is downtempo and explore other genres like tech-house or melodic techno and even Italo Disco. Also because the Dj playing after me was going to play Italo Disco so I had to adapt to create a smooth transition between us too.

I was a bit tensed when I started playing but a few people came to me to tell me how great it. I was filled with so much support, before, during, and after the gig. It was incredible and those who were there have no idea how much courage it gave me and how it helped me gain in confidence! 🙏


Thank you guys so much for the amazing energy on the dancefloor 

Thank you Julie Dommanget & Omar Larguèche for the family booking, Ronan de Suin, Louis Bourguet and François Donazzan for setting up this amazing stage and my little Chaton François Donazzan, you again for the sound engineering ;-)

And to those who are discovering the journey just now, I hope the energy will sweat through it and give yourself a great time too! 

Welcome to the organic journey of « Dark Dolphin »!

⫷ ℝ𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕓𝕠𝕨 ℙ𝕤𝕪𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕪 ⫸ Enter the world of an organic psychoactive journey.

༄ Back to my Roots

I’m listening to electronic music since I’m 15. At the time, I was living in Marrakech with my family and it’s where I heard of psytrance music for the first time.

In 2004, I arrived in the urban jungle of Paris. I discovered the Parisian clubbing scene and was spending my weekends at the « Redlight » and the mythic « Rex Club » most times, the « Mix », « Tryptique » or « l’Elysée Montmartre », sometime and after partying at the famous « Follow Me » or  « KitKat ». A great era in which I was discovering the music and night scene, exploring all the good parts of it but also falling down the rabbit hole sometimes. Part of the process… ;-)

4 years later, I decide to go to my first festival. I don’t choose the smallest one, to begin with. Taking my backpack, not even a tent, alone, with a few people I never met, I drive to Portugal and end up at Boom Festival. I let you imagine what the Boom can do to a person that has never been to a festival before! A huge psychedelic journey that blew my mind, opened part of my consciousness, and changed my life forever…

This is a turning point for me and I let down the clubs to rather more decorated parties. People dress up more, it’s also more fun and more spiritual as well. 
Psytrance becomes my world. Psytrance is a generic name like you would say Techno. There are many genres inside and my favorite were: Dark Forest & Dark Psy (140 > 180bpm), High Tech  (180 > 200bpm) but also Dark Prog and Psygressive which are the downtempo versions of psytrance. I kinda know all the genres very well, just ask me :D

The deep, psychedelic, organic strong vibrations of the bass trigger me. It’s visceral. I could dance for hours and hours. I went to many festivals for 5 years until another personal turning point occurred and guided me towards another musical path. I could tell you the story in another post if you want to hear it.

Recently, I listened to « Forest » again and I was happily surprised to see how it triggered me again, how my body reacted. I loved the sensations felt.
I decided that I should do a forest set one day.

༄ Creative & Emotional Process

Two weeks ago, my close friends and I organized a small event called Jambon Burn. I wanted to play one Downtempo set and one Psytech set.
Instead, I designed one and single journey « Rainbow Psyracy ».

Psytech is a form of Psychedelic Techno that is taking the world by storm! It's a hybrid genre that sits between Forest and Techno.
In this pharmacopeia of sounds, I explored the depths of these realms and created this set that starts with dark dirty downtempo sounds. Followed by those psychedelic, crispy, organic sounds. Stepping out of the depth to come back to the surface with jumpy sounds.

The reaction on the dance floor was crazy! Really, guys, a huge thank you for making this moment so unique and magical. I felt like a fish in the water, in my trueness with sensations I had never felt before. High, Raw & Alive.  Happy as f*** ! 

Bold piracy surprises us all.

༄ Rainbow

Even though this musical journey is rather dark, it brought a lot of Joy, to me and to the dancers.
We turned Sensual Darkness into Colorful Rainbow. Our root chakras liberating themselves from any blockages, freeing the path for the energy to circulate into our entire bodies and minds.
Turns out that the theme of the scenography we designed with my dear friend Sonia Apsara & Adrien Utchanah was « Rainbow ».
Were we inspired? ;-) I like to think we were…

Many many thanks in advance for all the listens, likes, comments, and re-shares.
I wish you to feel sensual & crispy sensations throughout this journey.
Much Love.

NB: Sorry for the long story, it’s a tough task for me to make things short :D

⫷ 𝙼𝚊̊𝚗𝚊 𝙷𝚘̃𝚊𝚕𝚊 𝙰𝚗𝚊̊. ⫸ 
This is the story of a woman.
Walking through the realms of Life.
A bit shy, a bit scared.
Some of her wounds are still open…
Nature heals her.
But some scars take longer.

One day though, a path opened, 
Like a portal towards another dimension.
Taking the shape of a bridge for her to cross.

A little voice inside her calls her.
She is afraid of the Unknown.
But her own nature is stronger.
And she decides to listen better.

From that moment, her life force energy awakens.
A rainbow snake rises, runs through her veins, invades her whole body with fluids of wisdom, sparkles of joy, nourishing love. 

From that moment, she knows.
She is a magnetic enchantress.
She is fierce and authentic.
She is juicy and vibrant.
She is caring and loving.
She is intuitive.
She is a warrior.
She is LOVE.

This woman is you. 
And me.

Måna Hõala Anå means “Life Force Awakening” in Hawaïen, a language I affection a lot and that resonates in my whole body. May you find this force within you and make it your best friend.

Hedoné’s workshops program inspired me a lot to design my set. I wanted it dirty, sensual, and dreamy. Hope you enjoy it and that this journey awakens your playful self! 

My endless gratitude to Hedoné’s community for inviting me to play in what turned out to be a most powerful transformative experience for me. Thank you to all the ones who stayed up all night and did not go to bed to attend my gig on Sunday 10 am, sharing the dancefloor with early risers. The energy was beautiful! 

Thank you Anya Ananda for inspiring me with some of these words of poetry.

Hey angels,

The team has returned from beautiful Goa. What should have been a day where the Babylon family should reunite in Amsterdam, is now a quiet day. What else can we do than to touch memories of a beautiful time together.

Find yourself in the mind of the master Joep Mencke. We have seen this young man grow the past years in such an incredible performer. Always a super talent in his production and a stage performer at heart.

His set with Amsterdam Dance Event this year was truly remarkable.

With love,

The Gardens of Babylon

SABO & GOLDCAP - Live at SET Outdoor SF July 9th, 2023

What started as a chilly overcast Sunday afternoon in San Francisco this summer, blossomed into a full sunny dance floor, filled with good vibes and smiles. This is one of those extended sets where we really just flowed, went up, down, left, right, center, and back around again musically. The crowd was beautiful, eccentric, open minded, and electric - like only San Francisco can deliver.  Enjoy this 5 hour journey, and be sure to join us again on December 31st for NYE at Public Works. Ticket link below. ;-)

SABO & GOLDCAP - Live at SET Outdoor SF July 9th, 2023

Every love story deserves its anthem, and this set is mine. From the moment our souls met and ignited a powerful fire, as if the universe had planned it, to the sweet surrender of love’s embrace, this journey of sound captures it all. Along the way, healing flows like an oasis in the desert - giving, receiving, and reflecting the infinite strength and potential we all carry within.

This is a celebration of connection, of finding someone who mirrors your light and fuels your dreams. It is about being exactly where you’re meant to be, carrying love and energy that transcends time and space. How beautiful it is to dance in that light, in the timeless rhythm of love.

With beats starting at 107.77 BPM and building to 127.77, this set captures a surge of emotions and ends in a melodic burst of joy and passion. Playing from my heart on the Tanit stage "the goddess of fertility" at Sharamania Festival in the Sahara desert made this moment unforgettable. The sands, the sunset, the love - everything aligned. Grateful beyond words.

Let the music take you where words can't.

I love you, Baby ❤ !

A Song about Amelia Mary Earhart, the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world - a song written for her, and anyone sending their last transmission. A pensive song, the photography is actually mine, from the top of scenic drive, blended with artwork of what I imagine is Amelia in the sky

Last Transmission

Grain [Minimal Groove Concept]

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Die Türen öffnen sich, leicht säurig. Herein, heraus, in die Cenote. Leicht benetzt ein jeder und ein überhaupt, ganz sanft so über allem. Mitten im Urwald, ganz weit, ganz wach, ganz nahbar und ganz fern, haben @WIDE-AWAKE-8 gespielt und mitgebracht was wir hier hören. Ganz live halt und ganz schön, auch ohne Blätterdach.

It was a magical Sunday morning, and Acid Bogen was buzzing with an incredible energy. It was so surreal to be standing behind the decks and watching  a packed room full of beautiful souls dancing and having a great time. 
This is the recording of that set.  

Enjoy :)
