Recorded in Port Louis, Mauritius, this warmup from BRAINLOVE captures the opening pulse of a night dedicated to bridging islands, rhythm, and culture.

As one of the foundational artists of ë and a longtime curator within the BABANI ecosystem, BRAINLOVE opened the evening with an organic, hypnotic journey — weaving downtempo grooves, maloya textures, tribal basslines, and meditative layers into a fluid, immersive flow.

BRAINLOVE’s set laid the groundwork for BABANI SOUNDSYSTEM and PANGAR, setting the tone for a powerful encounter between Mauritian rhythm and Réunion’s maloya spirit.

The event stood as a cultural dialogue across the Indian Ocean — rooted in heritage, movement, and community.

EVENT: FLOWERS ARE SPEAKERS — ORGANISED BY GATHERING DAN BON AIR

DATE: 05 APRIL 2025

LOCATION: IN THE WOODS, MARE LONGUES

SET TIME: 02H30 – 04H (WARMUP FOR SMILK)

⸻

Recorded live in the forest of Mare Longues, this set by BRAINLOVE — part of ë since the very beginning — was a welcoming journey for SMILK at the 10-year celebration of Gathering Dan Bon Air (GDBA).

A night voyage where music became more than sound — from soulful grooves into pulsating basslines, echoing the heartbeat of the earth and carrying us toward the first rays of light. Rooted in Mauritian rhythms and expanded through psychedelic textures, this set is music without borders — a gathering of souls in sound. 🌿🌌✨

⸻

🌿 ABOUT GDBA

For the past decade, Gathering Dan Bon Air has been more than an event. Born in Mauritius, it has become a living gathering — sometimes hidden in the forest, sometimes perched on a cliff, always shaped by nature and the community.

There are no genre limits. Each edition takes form from its surroundings and from the energy of the people who come together. What matters is the vibe, the freedom, and the connection shared in that moment.

Ten years on, GDBA continues to grow as a reminder that it’s not about style, but about the gathering itself — a celebration of life through music.
