"Enfants" is a 2008 single by electronic music producer Ricardo Villalobos. Though17 minutes in length, the A-side, "Enfants (Chants)", has been described as a "remarkably catchy, hype-inducing DJ tool" by Pitchfork Media, and as a "great tool for DJs" by electronic music magazine Resident Advisor, due to its minimal changes over the course of the entire song.
The branding of "Enfants (Chants)" as a "DJ tool" is due to its unusual structure, incorporating "no development over its seventeen minute length". The song is based on a repeating sample of "Baba Yaga La Sorcière", a track from Christian Vander's 1995 rework of his band Magma's Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh (1973). With the addition electronic drums and hi-hat, it "turns snippet of a prog rock classic into a minimal techno classic." The sample simply fades in at the beginning, and fades out at the piece's conclusion. The minimal development through the song invites seamless DJ mixing; Villalobos himself stated that "the idea is that anyone can mix whatever track into this track because it doesn't have too much melody, tones or harmony inside."
Ricardo Villalobos (born 1970) is a German-Chilean electronic music producer and DJ. He is well known for his work in the minimal techno and microhouse genres, and is one of the most significant figures in today's minimal techno scene.
Villalobos was born in Santiago, Chile in 1970. In 1973 he moved to Germany with his family to escape the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who had seized power that year.
When Villalobos was around 10 or 11 he started to play conga and bongos. He began making electronic music in the late 80s. From a very young age he has been a big fan of Depeche Mode, following their tours around Europe to listen to them.
Villalobos began to play his music at parties while he was studying at university, but this was only for his own enjoyment. He started a label, Placid Flavour, in 1993 but this was unsuccessful. His first record was released on the German Playhouse label in 1994 and he began DJing as a professional in 1998.
In 2006 Villalobos, along with Richie Hawtin and Luciano, played to around 300,000 people at the Berlin Loveparade.

Keywords: country, ethnic, mythological, racism, stop-motion, traditionEvery ray of sunshine,
Every drop of rain,
Every time the wind blows,
I hear your name.
Every time a flower grows
Or a baby cries,
Everything that's young and old
will live and die.
and I don't know whats out there
way behind the sun
and I got a feelin'
that we're not the only ones
And I can see miracles happnin' all the time
And I can see eternity through infinite eyes
And I was just a thinkin',
just the other day,
about some other universe, not so far away.
maybe I'm an alien from a neighborhood star
or maybe I'll just fly away on a slide guitar.
I don't know whats out there
way behind the sun
and I got a feelin'
that we're not the only ones.
And I can see miracles happnin' all the time
I can see eternity through infinite eyes.
I don't know whats out there
way behind the sun
and I got a feelin'
that we're not the only ones.
And I can see miracles happnin' all the time
I can see eternity through infinite eyes.
through infinite eyes...
