Niv Ast - One Time

After a long Purim weekend which started on Wednesday with a festive wedding and continued to a hungover costume contest at work and a night of party hopping where we ended up eating rolled pizza at the neighborhood bar, I think we can call Purim 2016 a wrap. And then Niv Ast comes along with this energetic beat reminding us that the night is still young. Take a peek into Niv's rich musical world with this mix tape he made for Kaltblut.

Bint El Funk - Umak

The perfect soundtrack to this hot and lazy Saturday. Check out Bint El Funk's brand new album on bandcamp and read a bit more about them here.

Dia Malo - Feel the Pain

Yess. Dia Malo means "bad day" in Spanish and I can't think of a more fitting soundtrack for the end of a bad day, or week. For the full Dia Malo experience, check out their new album on bandcamp.

Gili Yalo - City Life

Yes! A new single from Gili Yalo! I know Yalo from the awesome Zvulon Dub System and it's great to hear a different and more personal side of him. Not only that, but he's also embracing his roots while adding his own groove. The city is lucky to have him!

Who's gonna tell you when your time is up
Who's gonna flip a coin and change your luck
Back then when you still had your strength
It used to be so clear
Now you drowning in your own shade
Embracing your fears

City life got me begging
I must get up now

You've always reached out a hand
Now where are your friends
Everybody is busy making money
You can't pay the rent
Strugglin' to walk upright, did find out you can't
'Cause above your shoulders you carry a heavy weight

City life got me begging
I  must get up now

Gotta get up right now from this crowded place
There is too much pressure got to get yourself some space
Won't you get out of here
While you still have a chance
Because it ain't working

City life got me begging
I must get up now

Shirly Kones - It's good that you came

A beautiful glimpse into Shirly Kones' Tel Aviv

Even if occasionally during the week
He meets the reflection of my face
In her good, good eyes
Of our love, the one,
It's good that you came

It's he who built a house with you
And will give you the child
It's good, it's what you want
Only now that you're not home,
It's good that you came

She knows to offer me
Everything that there isn't
And I, I take to heart
Tel Aviv is worn out, made of patchwork
The people,
Are well dressed

The city, it holds a secret
Its walls are, the beach and concrete,
A walk along the neon-lit moon
The last glimpse, who shall I give it to?

Lately, I've been falling in love easily
And it's not the only addiction
My body is thirsty, I admit
And my water flows in her hand

She knows to offer me
Everything that there isn't
And I, I take to heart
Tel Aviv is worn out, made of patchwork
The people.
Are dressed well

It's time to get closer

Assaf Averbuch and the Rumor - Watch for Surprises

It doesn't get much sweeter than this.

https://he-il.facebook.com/assafaverbuchpage

Watch for surprises,
Because the statistics say that by now
You were supposed to die at least 3 times
Watch for surprises,
According to the couple rate you were supposed to already find a wife,
Rent an apartment and raise in it two and a half kids

And you can't run away
But you no longer have the energy to lie
From so many lies you forgot who you are
And you can't determine
But you're tired of hearing
How much longer you will wait
For things to be good

Watch for surprises,
Run with your face towards the wind
Because you already played it safe
And this isn't your day
Watch for surprises,
Because you can't determine
But you're tired of hearing
That it will work out in the end

Watch for surprises,
According to the birth rate
In a few more years
The population will be exploded
Watch for surprises,
A world filled with people
But you still believe
That there is one person
Who is meant just for you

And you can't run away
But you no longer have the energy to lie
From so many lies you forgot who you are
And you can't determine
But you're tired of hearing
How much longer you will wait
For things to be good

Watch for surprises,
Run with your face towards the wind
Because you already played it safe
And this isn't your day
Watch for surprises,
Because you can't determine
But you're tired of hearing
That it will work out in the end

Watch for surprises,
Because what are the chances
That with a guitar and songs
You'll be able one day
To conquer the world
Watch for surprises,
If you're preoccupied with the results
You'll miss the way
And this journey of yours,
Is everyone's

Haya Miller - A Rumor

Nostalgia in the making.


Now you don't want to be there
But if you won't sleep with her someone will sleep
A time comes to get rid of guilty feelings
From all this love which raises smoke

It's not good when you change your face
Asleep when I arrive and awake for others
On the verge, already inside without intention
Everyone else went to bed only you are sleepwalking
Infinite comfort in the darkness
For whoever is naked and is covered by her like a blanket
Just a rumor that is spread around town

Now you don't want to be there
But if you won't sleep with her someone will sleep
A time comes to change the prescription
And divide all that remains from what's old

From here it's not enough to complain
You need to quit and the habit stops
Only the eyes of the beholder
Make it seem so funny

It's not good when you change color
Pale when I arrive and flushed to others
Infinite comfort in the darkness
For whoever is naked and is covered by her like a blanket
Light will completely flood the room
And the body to the shore which he's swept after to

Just a rumor that is spread around town
Just a rumor that is spread around town
Just a rumor that is spread around town
Just a rumor that is spread around
