When it comes to curating mystical, transformative experiences through music and community, few labels compare to The Gardens of Babylon. Originating from Amsterdam, this imprint has become a global movement—equal parts record label, event series, and spiritual sanctuary for lovers of organic, deep, and tribal house music.
More Than Just a Label
Founded by Shishi Meriwani, The Gardens of Babylon began as a community-focused event series blending electronic music with mindfulness, meditation, and cultural rituals. Over time, it has evolved into a powerful label platform that reflects the sonic essence of its gatherings: deep, transcendent, and globally inspired.
Its releases often feel like journeys—infused with ethnic instrumentation, hypnotic grooves, and emotional melodies that connect the listener to something greater than the dancefloor.
A Distinct Sound & Visual Identity
The label is recognized for championing mystical, cinematic soundscapes rooted in organic and downtempo house. Artists like Parallells, Kora, Geju, Nicolas Rada, and Yamil have all contributed to its unique catalogue, delivering productions that feel both ancient and futuristic.
From their lush cover art to their meticulously curated stage designs at events, The Gardens of Babylon creates an immersive world where music, spirituality, and aesthetics meet.
Global Events, Local Souls
Beyond the music, what sets the label apart is its community-driven ethos. With events hosted in Berlin, Istanbul, Tulum, and Mexico City, each experience combines live performances, DJ sets, visual art, and guided ceremonies. It’s conscious clubbing redefined—one that fosters connection, intention, and healing through music.
The label’s monthly mixes and live sets on streaming platforms have become beloved by those seeking more than just club tracks—they want soundtracks to their personal and collective awakenings.
Why It’s Our Pick
The Gardens of Babylon continues to shape and uplift the Organic House genre with every release and gathering. Their dedication to quality, community, and consciousness makes them more than a label—they’re a cultural force. In 2025, they show no signs of slowing down, with new releases, festivals, and collaborations expanding their mission globally.
