mad decent worldwide radio #16 - made in Israel

I got invited to play in tel aviv about 2 years ago and i didnt
think much of it at the time... but it ended up being one of the
top 3 shows I had ever played..like 700 kids showed up and i did
about 3 hours of everything from dubstep and roots and culture to
techno and some tongue and cheek trance drops and the people were
with me the whole time. the opening djs - polar pair had just
released a 12 on tru thoughts and were mixing inst and acapellas
from ying yang twins to massive attack like i was in downtown
brooklyn 2 years later... it was advanced and mad.. All i knew from
Israeli music was like .... infected mushroom and tiesto... who
both hold it down. but psytrance wasnt really my thing.
besides that , tel aviv is a beach city where you can find smoking
hookas on the beach and ethiopian kids with sunbleached hair jumpin
off rocks all day.  its far from the day to day violence that
is published and for the most part its a secular city with Arab
neighborhoods mixed in and around.. but what i didnt expect on my
second visit last month, was to find the music scene still
exploding. i went to a bar at 2am to hear Hebrew baile funk tracks
and then to a dubstep party filled with .. gasp girls at another
bar a few streets out..(this is the day after a national holiday)
so I can only imagine how it is around there on the real
nights.

so my boy from soulico was djing one of these bars playin mad stuff
and he droped the mix by with some demos as well
