CHRISTOPH DE BABALON is known for tripping beats, dark wide spaces and eternal melancholy. He released his first record in 1994 on Hamburg’s cult label Fischkopf. This record (as well as all that followed over the next years) were extensively played by BBC DJ & legend JOHN PEEL. Right after his debut he began working with ALEC EMPIRE’s Digital Hardcore Recordings (DHR) where he, besides a couple of other records released his most important work: the legendary album ‘If You’re Into It, I’m Out Of It’. DHR still say that it remains their most important release.

“The most menacing record I own” – THOM YORKE of Radiohead about “If You’re Into it, I’m Out Of It”

“The most outstanding album on DHR [...] – nobody will ever top this!!!” – ALEC EMPIRE about “If You’re Into it, I’m Out Of It”

“Scylla & Charybdis”: the latest release by Christoph de Babalon is dedicated to two unfortunate girls from Greek mythology. Once beautiful nymphs, both were jinxed to live their life as monsters.

To describe his melancholic viewpoint of their fate, he chose the long forgotten romantic art of the Symphonic Poem. Influenced by works such as Arnold Schaberg’s “Veklarte Nacht”, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Isle Of The Dead” and Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra”, Christoph de Babalon transfers this technique into the present and breaks
the tradititon by incorporating the human and inhuman voices of ALEXANDRA VON BOLZ’N and HANAYO to create the most haunting experience for the listener. His Diptychon about the unforgettable story of “Scylla & Charybdis” transcends past, present and future, myth and reality.

At the moment, Christoph de Babalon is preparing to release a single and album on Tigerbeat6 records.
