Feel the Love

Electra, a local kick ass rock’n'roll band, have finally released their highly anticipated debut album, Heartbreak For Fools . I’ve been following the band quite early on, remixing their first ever single, Come Inside back in 2004 and remixing another, Better Sound, a couple of years later, so it was only logical that I will do another remix to celebrate the album launch.

The track I re-assembled is actually the b-side to the single Dawn of Summer. It’s a cover to the Donna Summer+Giorgio Moroder disco classic, I Feel Love. Electra gave the song a surprising and refreshing surf-rock flavor, and all I wanted to do is take their version and bring it back to the dancefloor. Give it an extended dub intro and reinforce the electronic-disco elements, imagining myself losing it to Carl Craig playing the original at an unforgettable party, some 10 years ago.

Anyway, enough talking. The remix is right here. Press play, hit the download button to save a copy on your computer. Hope you enjoy this.

Last SheLeG, 9.6.04

Before Botanika, there was SheLeG. A weekly party that sprung out of a radio show with the same name, back in 1998. The parties took place in various location: Kraus, Ays and most notablly Tamar’s Lounge and the formidable Sofabeat. When the Sofabeat decided to call it a day in June of 2004, it was also the end of SheLeG (Hebrew acronym for “Groove Implant Method”). I felt it was time to move on, and incidentally, that was also where Botanika started.

The party was a highly emotional affair: I played mostly SheLeG classics from its various incarnations and when the party was over, the club crew (Malkiel, Tal, Elad and Egozy) and myself hugged and physically wiped our tears on the empty dancefloor. True story. No metaphors.

Rummaging through an old computer I had I stumbled onto an unexpected treasure: a couple of recordings from that night – almost two and a half hours of music. And despite some of the mixes sounding like train accidents of biblical proportions (were Moses riding around on trains, that is), and despite rinsing the “Sofabeat” sample by Karolina from the Polar Pair vs Maddslinky ‘Over My Head’ into the ground, I feel these recordings have some historic – or at the very least emotional – value.

Lots of credit goes to the Mixcloud platform for hosting these sets and to the most amazing Shazam application for helping me recover some of the track names without having to spend hours going through my record collection…

Hope you enjoy the nostalgic ride.

Teder.fm session playlist, 9.8.10

I was approached to publish last night’s session on Teder, so I exported the Traktor list and added the tracks I played from vinyl. The big bonus is that you can listen to the whole thing once again, as it was recorded and uploaded to Rapidshare by our friend Eyal.
