A high energy Israeli dance club hip hop influenced mix by Diwon, the American-Israeli DJ/Producer extraordinaire behind the Shemspeed label.
The listener hears Diwon remixing, choppin up, slowing down, speeding up, and sampling all types of sounds to create a seamless mix of seemingly disjointed tracks that sound like Israel landed on top of Daft Punk & M.I.A.’s studio.
“Sabra Sessions” is a mixtape I was driven to do,” commented Diwon, “where I remixed, chopped, and sped up Israeli and Hebrew music to the style of Baltimore and Miami club music and beyond.”
The Sabra Sessions makes for a festive and energetic blend into Israeli culture, Hebrew music, and the sounds that move people to dance floors worldwide. Enjoy it and feel free to blast it to your emails, blogs, facebook groups, twitters…and all.

Here’s something I liberated from this great new blog that I just know I’ll be frequenting time and time again.
Welcome on board brothers and I look forward to your posts!

Some of you wanted to know more about the origins of the BAREFOOT genre created by STEREOTYP and so I found out for you!
Here’s what the man himself says:
The Barefoot thing.
The idea came together a while back. I thought wouldn’t it be great to actually have club night that don’t hesitate to play different tempo’s in the same evening, which was at some point almost like blasphemy.
It was like; u can’t play 95 bpm tunes then go to 128, up to 140… & maybe drop again to 80 bpm! The heads would look at you like, how could you mix all these genres in one evening on the same night?
How could you? Shame on you!!!
So I thought by creating a genre that doesn’t have these tempo restrictions, it will give peeps that like jumping tempo’s a right to exist
Also it might stop people calling my sound: dub, futuredancehalltribalbassmusik, since my shit didn’t ever fit in any of the existing genres.
If I think back to my first G-Stone album ‘my sound’ this would actually mark the birth of Barefoot. People were struggling to find a name for it back then.
I also felt there should be more freedom for sound. I myself made tunes in the past that were not released because even if a label really liked it ,they saw a problem for sales because it didn’t fit any of the tempo rules that other dance music had at that time.
Free the sound
I love the sound and power of dub, drm’n bass, dubstep, bassline, bassmusic and so on. So now that sound and characteristic can exist in all kinds of tempo. Barefoot
keep it dutty
So there you go, straight from the horses mouth!
Interesting man, seems that BAREFOOT came along for a number of different but unavoidable reasons.
Firstly as a means to rebel against conventional rules commonly applying to club nights which employ a standardized bmp rule.
Secondly, in order to be able to market the genre in those tidy little pretty boxes, which the industry loves so much and that the consumers and fashionista’s demand.
More on Barefoot later this year as Stereotyp’s other project KU BO is due for release early next year and man it is shit hot, been lucky enough to get advance copies of the stuff and phewwww!!!mannn!!! ahahahaha
For now enjoy a couple of more BAREFOOT BEAUTIES!!!!
Our homie, FREDERIC GALLIANO told me about this lil’ collaboration a little while back with one of the most famous Superstar DJ’s in the world for the past few years, BOB SINCLAR.
It’s a track called “New, New, New” co-written by Frederic Galliano and Vybrate and produced by Bob Sinclar.
Check out the vid and look at Mr Sinclar getting his GHETTO BOOTY on. Might not be to everybody’s tastes as it’s very commercial but such is the world!
I’m afraid I can’t embed the vid but click HERE to see it.
Btw, I can tell you that Fred’s got some awesome material of his own coming out next year on a special new project in which I’m kinda like involved in. Man it is sounding shit hot….more info on that soon ….but it’s probably not as commercial as the Sinclar stuff.
Our boy, SONIDO DEL PRINCIPE is away on tour for the next 3 weeks, taking in the far eastern delights and trying to cumbiafy CHINA. He’s gonna be out of bounds, unreachable and incommunicado!
So I’m afraid you’ve got me alone for the next 3 weeks alongside some of our guest contributors who’ll be making a post every now and zen!
Our brotherCaballo is really in love with the music of SDP and wanted to try his hand at layering some ragga-muffin vocals over the top of Cartagena, one of his favourite SDP tracks.
So I think this is a nice little “temporary” goodbye gift to our boy. He’s a big boy now and he needs to go out into the big world.
We we all bid him great travels, best of luck in succeeding to cumbiafy China and we hope our boy will be safe out there in that mean old world…hahahah..;-)
And here’s a little story I would tell my boy, SDP every night before he went to beddybyes. I hope he will remember it and pass it on to some little Chinese boy out there in Big China.
It’s a story that my Uncle Tom used to read to me every night before I went to bed, when I was just a mere nipper, up until a few months ago:
These 2 Ghettotecher’s hail from Latvia and here’s what they have to say about themselves:
“Crystral Sound System” is a DJ duo, currently based in Latvia, spinning Jamaican dancehall and reggae-inspired mashup and electronic music tunes, combined with live Caribbean-flavoured video sets, practically every weekend blazing tropical bass in various clubs and festivals. Recently girls also have discovered the massive power of dirty electro and fidget house, especially loving tracks with reggae and jungle origin sound.
Crystral Sound System ladies Antara and Lady Krii promote reggae culture since 2005 not only with regular club performances, but also radio broadcast, organizing Jamaican music event series “Riga Goes Ragga” and powering the Online Embassy of reggae culture: www.jamaica.lv.
DJ duo has performed not only in Latvia and other European countries, but also in Jamaica, getting full respect from local dreadlocks, ghetto youths and selectors. Biggest local events with Crystral ladies behind the decks: “Dance Summit”, “Baltic Graffiti Festival”, “Ride It Winter Jam”, “Fontaine Festival”, “Kite Party”, “Moonligt Party”, “Positivus Festival”, “Baltic Beach Party”.

Genuine Guy (aka Scott Pearsall) is a DJ/producer/video artist currently based in Berlin. The name, originally spelt with pound signs and stolen from a real life dating forum, was first coined for London club ‘One Size Fits All’, (co-run with Max Tundra) and has stuck with him ever since.
His first EP for Tigerbass “Bad People Get Laid’ was hailed as an underground classic and saw him DJ alongside such diverse artists as Benga, Kap Bambino, Drop the Lime and Silverlink.
After honing his skills on a series of remixes for the likes of Metronomy, Comanechi, Dolby Anol, and Kid606 he brings us new EP ‘Jealous Swingers’. Already being championed by the likes of Radio 1’s Jaymo and 20jazzfunkgreats before it was even promoed, it’s shaping up to become a worldwide dancefloor hit, and one of our biggest releases to date!
Inspired by his the fracturing of (his then native) London’s fashionable electro scene into secular heavy bass and disco-only parties, Genuine Guy decided to experiment with putting them both back together! These tracks successfully combine the best elements of Rave, Bass, Disco and House music with a dash of Raymond Scott and Ron Geesin’s eccentric sonic trickery, to create a fresh but skewed sound that Genuine Guy has labelled ‘Disco-Wobble’
EP Tracklist:
1 Jealous Swingers
2 The Illegible Bachelor
3 Chang ‘n Chai
4 Jealous Swingers – Hakan Lidbo remix
5 Jealous Swingers – Magnum 38 remix
The title track’s broken disco licks ride across a massive bassline to create a sound comparable to fellow disco manglers Mr Oizo or In Flagranti, but bringing with it a uniqueness and originality all of its own.
‘Chang n Chai’ takes a more techy approach, funk stabs meet wobble bass to create a no holds barred club banger that utilises a certain over-sampled soul singer in a way you’ve never heard before.
Lastly, ‘The Illegible Batchelor’ combines a fuzzed-up, modulating disco bassline with funky amen breaks and a 4/4 ravey stomp, creating a bizarre middle ground between French Touch and UK Hardcore.
Harder upbeat techno remixes from Sweden’s Hakan Lidbo (Pokerflat, Forcetracks, Musick) and Berlin’s Magnum 38 (Shitkatapult) round out the release.
