For Karim, franc tireur of the tekno scene, everything was always music affair. Of rhythmic vibration. But it is by discovering the first repetitive sounds, then experimented by the English pioneers of the new-wave (New Order and consorts) that the activist of Marseilles plunges in apnea into the universe of loops and samples. Culture shock. By colliding with the digital sphere which spreads his beatz from the end of the 80s, future Babylon Joke suspects exactly the sound which he henceforth plans to engender.
Today signed on I.O.T. Records, label in the eclectic musical tendencies grouping together numerous musicians, it is to the compromise between numeric programmings and organic instrumentations that seems to go new Babylon Joke. An urban interbreeding of trance dancefloor in the aspiration live openly ethnic... "By trance, I think in no way of the trance Goa but rather the state of trance into which I want to plunge people who listen to my music. A sort of state of hypnosis, of levitation."
A need of sound interactivity which Karim already envisages for the stage because a collective live, tendency oriental électro jazzy, is in formation today. Bewitching and heady, the odyssey Babylon Joke is only beginning. NAT.V
