The story of Babylon Joke is an exciting fusion of different musical influences and travels that have shaped his artistic journey. Born and raised between France and Algeria, his diverse upbringing fueled his musical curiosity from a young age. Initially trained in classical saxophone at the conservatory, he was exposed to a variety of musical genres, from Jamaican rocksteady to Motown artists, to the early electronic sounds of Kraftwerk.

However, it was in the 90s, with the emergence of the electronic scene in Europe, that Babylon Joke found his true calling. Drawn to the hypnotic beats of house and the grooves of 80s hip-hop, he quickly embraced electronic music and was captivated by the energy of electro live performances. This discovery marked a turning point in his career, leading him to explore the possibilities offered by electronic instruments to express his creativity in a way that was previously inaccessible to him.

His involvement in the Tekno Travelers movement in the 90s led him to become a prominent figure in the free-party scene, where he developed a distinctive style blending tribal rhythms, urban progressions, and psychedelic elements. Over the years, his travels to North Africa and the Caribbean enriched his musical repertoire, allowing him to transcend boundaries between genres and fuse ethnic sounds with electronic influences.

As a member of the renowned nomadic tribe Sound Conspiracy and the OQP, Babylon Joke played a central role in the European underground scene, not only as an artist but also as an event organizer and producer. His work helped shape the identity of the free-party scene, and his live performances are known for their contagious energy and bold sonic explorations.

Today, Babylon Joke continues to explore new musical horizons with his positive electro fusion, combining elements of 80s dance music with ethnic sounds to create captivating grooves that transport listeners to the dance floor. With releases on labels like IOT Records, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music and make dance floors around the world come alive.
