« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Spare Parts 2024 (#2) #236
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin 2024 SPARE PARTS Show Part 2 (Phew!)
Tonight your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott celebrate the death of 2024 with a second trawl through the tunes that didn’t quite make last year’s broadcasts. Begilufin’s ridiculously-themed shows are improvised live on air resulting in a lotta leftovers and loose ends and so tonight we give the finest of these musical SPARE PARTS their moment in the sun/ moon/ bathroom. Join us tonite for an hour of digging around the Begiilufin junkyard and glueing together an alternate version of 2024!
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine 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.
