Christoph De Babalon

Berlin based producer, DJ and co-founder of the label Cross Fade Enter Tainment (CFET), Christoph de Babalon is known for tripping beats, dark wide spaces and eternal melancholy.
After releasing a handful of 12" releases on smaller labels in Germany and being heralded as a favorite on John Peel's BBC radio show, Christoph signed to Alec Empire's label Digital Hardcore Recordings where he released his most important work: the legendary album If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It. Leading to a musical relationship with Radiohead's Thom Yorke, one which continues to this day, the album 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. DHR still say that it remains their most important release.
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.
Christoph left DHR after his Seven Up EP and is now releasing music on his own CFET label, as well as other German labels. In order to learn more effective production techniques and gather new experience, he began working on music for theatre productions, dance performances and film.
