« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Bass (#2) #185
At last it’s Part TWO of the Begilufin BASS special!
This evening your very deep-voiced (joke) hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott deliver sixty minutes of inter-outer-national sounds with a focus on BASS, because without bass, a lot of music would just dry up and blow away. We’ll be exploring deeper frequencies of many kinds, Italian bass, Japanese bass, Brazilian bass, Indian bass, banana bass… bassically a full-on bass odyssey.
On tonight’s “Island” in the middle of the show, we feature the brand-nouveau debut 45 by Montréal’s mysterious psychedelicists Les Pommes De Lune. Deliciously ripe technicolour space-pop with apple bass. Crunch!
As always, this is live, spontaneous and professionally silly radio - we always throw in a couple of mistakes for your entertainment.

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.
