« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Spare Parts 2025 (#1) #255
TONITE on your RADIO!
Travel back in time with the Begilufin 2025 SPARE PARTS show!
Your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott stumble through the wreckage of our 2025 shows and pick out musical jewels (or potatoes) that we didn’t manage to squeeze into the playlists. Our themed shows are improvised live on air resulting in plentiful leftovers and usually one of us is whining “I can’t believe I didn’t play THAT!” as each show ends.
Tonight we give the best of these musical SPARE PARTS their moment in the sun/ moon/ galaxy. So join us in the junkyard and witness the history of Begilufin being shamelessly revised before your very ears!
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.
