Here’s a new mixtape from my friend and frequent collaborator DJ Caress. As one of Jerusalem’s premier Hip Hop DJ’s (pun intended), Caress is a vital part of the Corner Prophets collective. A s a producer he has worked with artists such as Sagol 59 (obviously), D.A.M, 51%, Taboo Plus, and has released several independent mixtapes /albums. Caress, currently residing in Ethiopia, visited Israel a few days ago and while here he made this mixtape, which takes you on a hypnotic musical journey from the Mississippi Delta to Berlin’s nightclubs, from Jamaican Dub to California Hip Hop, from Bollywood to London, from funky fresh breakbeats to home-made field recordings from Ethiopia. All mixed to perfection in typical innovative Caress fashion.
× ×™×§×•×™ ר×?ש or Mind Cleanser was a popular satirical Israeli television show in the 1970s which poked fun at current events through highly politicized sketch comedy that honored no sacred cows. In April 2004, Israel’s Channel 1 held a televised tribute event, inviting the original cast and crew of Mind Cleanser to appear and reminisce about old times. In addition, the station asked Sagol 59 and DJ Caress to revamp the show’s theme song, catching up on the last 30 years between the show’s airing and the current era, hence the song’s title, “Current Affairs.”
