Christoph de Babalon

Christoph De Babalon is a Berlin based producer and DJ, best known for his work on Alec Empire's label Digital Hardcore Recordings. After releasing a handful of 12-inch releases on smaller Labels in Germany and being heralded as a favorite on John Peel's radio show since 1994, Christoph later signed to DHR in 1996, and later released his only full-length album for the label, If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It in 1997. The album was well received and gained mostly positive reviews, but stood in stark contrast to other DHR releases by offering a new vision of electronic music that differed greatly from that of artists such as Atari Teenage Riot and EC8OR. Christoph De Babalon's signature sound is a combination of extreme complexity in construction and complete experimentation in form. Songs span many electronic genres including noise, soundscapes, ambient, drum and bass, and breakcore. His tracks are also known for occasionally being exceptionally long, with durations up to 15 minutes.
