The Gardens of Babylon is set to release the second VA compilation \u2018The Monastery\u2019 in celebration of its eponymous yearly festival experience on 17 July 2021. For this edition, the Amsterdam-based, yet globe-trotting spiritual clubbing experience welcomes contributions from Amine K, Gorje Hewek, Maga, Madmotormiquel, Noraj Cue & unders, Parallells, VANDER, and more across its 17 tracks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the 2019 launch of The Gardens of Babylon\u2019s record label, we find ourselves in a very different world. Last year\u2019s compilation was a musical snapshot of a physical festival experience with contributions coming from those who were there. This year, the compilation assumes a different role \u2013 a sonic journey through the times, memories, and loved ones we miss, as well as a sense of comfort as we look to reunite on a dancefloor somewhere around the world.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Monastery\u2019 2020 draws contributions from friends and family, developing its narrative from the opening percussion of Menachem 26\u2019s \u2018Kumkapi Blues\u2019 through the closing euphoria of Glauco di Mambro\u2019s \u2018Solar Safari\u2019. Along the way, each track reads like a different chapter, transporting listeners to the sea of smiles that make up The Monastery Festival Experience. These chapters break down the weekend, encapsulating the emotions of its many facets, locations, and feelings. With \u2018Light On The Road,\u2019 Ali Farahani sets palpable anticipation, leading into the jazzy breaks of Gorje Hewek\u2019s \u2018Der Geist Seiner Zeit\u2019. Then, Maga\u2019s delicately brooding \u2018Muzike\u2019 (feat. Arc) makes way for the gently rising piano of Parallell\u2019s \u2018Everybody Knows\u2019. By the time, Derun\u2019s \u2018Los Caminos de Sirkedji\u2019 hits, things start getting twisty, day turns to night, and \u2018The Monastery\u2019 is in full swing. From here, Amine K, Niko Schwind, Noraj Cue & unders, Dauw, Madmotormiquel, and Headwaters expand consciousness through mythical, hypnotic offerings \u2013 some low slung, some deep, dark, and driving. This is where resident VANDER\u2019s \u2018Can\u2019t Get No Sleep\u2019 drops and sums up the experience perfectly, interjecting fresh funk into groovy percussion, before giving way to afterhours vibes courtesy of KRAUT, Franca, and Sound Shapes.<\/p>\n

It may be another year until the Gardens of Babylon turn the hallowed grounds of Goch\u2019s Kloster Graefenthal into a musical paradise again, but with \u2018The Monastery\u2019 2020 compilation, its starry nights and lovely days transport through speakers and souls as we patiently wait for the world we know to return stronger, healthier, and more conscious than ever before<\/p>\n

Today we are happy to bring you the beautiful original of Light On The Road by Ali Farahani, a groovy song properly setting the mood for what the rest of the VA has to offer.<\/p>\n
