About Me

...i'm a tea drinker and a music maniac...
TEA is my business, check out: TEE-IN
MUSIC is my deepest passion (and more and more my job too... ;-)
member of
GAIA SOUNDSYSTEM +++ ELECTRONIC TRIBAL +++ BOMBAY BEATZ
als dj spezialisert für musik im bereich oriental/asian underground: sounds vom mittleren osten via indien bis nach südostasien, in ihrer traditionelleren form wie auch in ihren aktuellen elektronisch frisierten spielarten wie dub, d&b, trance etc.
...und neben diesem nah/fern-östlichen schwerpunkt finden mehr und mehr alle arten von frisierten ethnischen musikformen platz in meinen dj-sets...
specialized for the sounds from middle east, india and south east asia, from traditional forms to futuristic electronic variations...
...and beside this middle/far east main theme i play more and more the club-tuned ethnic sounds from all over this globe...
(and still wait for the first ethnosounds from outer space: aliens please send me your demo tapes!!!)
if you want that i play YOUR MUSIC in my radio broadcasts or dj sets, send me your promo/demo records!!! CHAOS IN PARADISE has enough space for all kinds and styles of music far away from mainstream... and the hottest exotic grooves will find the way to the dancefloor too...!!!
VISIT MY FRIENDS, YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF GREAT SOUNDS THERE!!!
... and, not at least... feel free to download some sounds from this page and use them in any way you like... (...if the new player will ever allow it again...)

Influences:
...my deepest influence...

in meiner arbeit als dj beschränke ich mich (vorläufig) mehr oder weniger aufs plattenlegen, d.h. ich produziere keine eigenen tracks, spiele ausschliesslich musik für die ich keine urheberrechte besitze. aus diesem grund sind die sounds auf dieser seite nicht wirklich repräsentativ für meine dj-arbeit...

as a dj i don't produce own tracks for the dancefloor yet, i just play the music from the huge output from recent / favourite artists. in this case i cannot show some dancefloor stuff here on this site...

ben i sabbah plays in his dj-sets the newest sounds from orient, india and south east asia (as well as grooves from the rest of the world), some of ben i sabbah's favourite artists: bandish projekt, dj click, badmarsh & shri, cheb i sabbah, midival punditz, david starfire, kush arora, jef stott, state of bengal, asian dub foundation, bill laswell, talvin singh, smadj, badawi, zeb, rinne radio, etc... or just watch my friend's list and you'll see from where the wind blows... or click here:
