The British Invasion, v 2011
We’re totally hyped towards this coming Friday, 25.2, when Tel-Aviv will be hit by a UK brigade so heavy, our small shore hasn’t seen such since the end of the British mandate. Our smoky friends at TABAC have teamed up with the British Council to celebrate the local launch of the BC’s “The Selector” radioshow on IDC Radio, 106.4 FM (where btw – Nadav teaches radio), and to do that in extraordinary stylee, they’ve pulled up an unmissable line-up of UK selectors - El-B, Rustie & Bok-Bok – each of them alone a prime rib for a fine party. Ourselves, DJ Hectik & Kalbata will be supplying the local support, and it all goes for the really cheap rate of 60 NIS on the pre-sale and 70 at the door, taking place at the Comfort 13. FB event here.
TABAC’s Walter Einstein Frog and myself have prepared a 40-min introduction mix, so I suggested you press play and get on reading. Tracklist appears at the bottom.

For those not familiar with either El-B, Rustie or Bok Bok (and if you’ve been following us you probably are, even if you ain’t aware of it), let’s just say they are all prime players in the UK club scene, which in the past couple of years is flourishing like no other.
BALUT009: Bunny on Acid – Oxygen (02/2011)
Oxygen is Bunny On Acid’s second release on Botanika and in many ways, it’s a sequel to 2010’s Snow.
The title track is an intense drum machine workout, fusing a driving sub-bass melody with a pad that sounds like polluted air wafting through a dystopian metropolis.
The B-side, Twisting & Turning, veers towards more obscure territories (similar to Snow’s b-side, Unknown), cutting vocal samples against reversed synths and displaced drum beats – imagine Hudson Mohawke getting lost in a forest of jelly antennas.
Rounding off the release is Botanika’s NDV remix of Oxygen, re-inventing it as a 2-step inspired spiritual journey, oozing with bass and far away choirs.
Oxygen’s cover was designed by Heela Harel, a local Tel-Aviv designer, street art hunter and general fashion guru.
Oxygen is released digitally on February 28th
