Begilufin - Berlin Live: Compass (#2) #259

We play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zone. TONITE on your RADIO! It’s the Begilufin COMPASS special… PART 2! Feeling disoriented? Lost your bearings? On a musical wild goose chase? Finally find the real you tonight as your host navigators Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott bring you a second show dedicated to musical POINTS OF THE COMPASS! North, East, South and West, PiRadio’s subterranean Berlin studio is armed with powerful loudspeaker magnets, sending our pocket COMPASS spinning like a propellor as we ourselves spin music from all four directions and (more). Unplug your sat-nav, tie on a blindfold and let your ears lead the way. As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment. 1. Phil Moore - Eastside Westside 2. Sir Victor Uwaifo - West African Safari 3. The Mode - Eastern Music 4. Gogol Bordello - East Infection 5. Ultravox! - Fear In The Western World 6. The Legendary Shack Shakers - South Electric Eyes 7. Basil Kirchin - Heart Of The North 8. Ebo Taylor - What Is Life? 9. Ebo Taylor - Poverty No Good 10. LCD Sound System - North American Scum # Begilufin Begilufin is an hour long radio show broadcast live twice a month from the heart Berlin on the station Pi Radio. On Begilufin we play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zones. Each show revolves around a central theme and then we surprise each other (and you, dear listener) with our selections live on air. Since you ask, ‘Begilufin’ is a Hebrew word meaning intoxicated, inebriated, drunk, sozzled or smashed - a perfect description of the delirious off-centre mix of crazed music we like to spin on the show or indeed the effect it might have on your ears. Begilufin was created by Ziv Lode in 2010. Ziv was joined by Dan Abbott a couples of years later after a chance meeting in a kindergarten playground revealed a mutual love of the music of Erkin ‘The Turkish Hendrix’ Koray. * *
