No doubt, it's a crowdpleaser coming at you, bound to make waves at both clubs and radio airwaves.
“We've always loved the original version of Born Again, it was such a big and classic club track. Remaking it was awesome! We tried to put a more modern sound on it, that would fit with our sound. It was great to collaborate with Robby on this track as well, he's a very talented producer. The track will definitely find a special spot in our sets, we hope you like it!”– The Him
“I’ve always loved Ricky L’s ‘Born Again’ and felt it could benefit from a revival. I asked Sarah to record the line and played around with it for a while, making different versions. Around this time, The Him and I started talking about doing a collab together. I immediately sent them the initial idea for Babylonia and they loved it. Things went very naturally and smoothly from there in regards to finishing the song, and so Babylonia was “born again”. Very proud of the end result, hope you guys like it!” – Robby East

Robby East
Coming from a musical household, Robby East was pushed towards music at a young age. He started playing piano and guitar in his young years and moved towards producing when he was fourteen years old, inspired by other young producers from his hometown in The Netherlands, such as Martin Garrix. After trying out several genres, he found his sound in future house, a genre that invites to create music that pushes the boundaries of house music. Through his creative melodies he intends to communicate emotions, amplified with usage of organic instruments like violins. The future house audience quickly welcomed his melancholic sound and has kept supporting him throughout the years. While exploring and developing a unique style, Robby East enjoys giving back support and sharing his knowledge with aspiring producers.
