Tribak proudly introduces "TimeClapse," a reissue series that spotlights the golden years of bedroom producers in West Jerusalem.
This unique collection revives rare music, previously unavailable in digital form, straight from the vaults.

Grundik & Slava were an experimental electronic duo who were active in Israel in the late 90's-early 00´s. They played an important role in the flourishing art and music underground scene. The duo met in the mid 90's in the university, after playing in several alternative spaces, they acquired two cheap groove-boxes Roland MC 303 and Rave-O-Lution and used them in live situations. They approached both software and hardware barbarically, abusing the machines, looking for the ways to produce sounds these gadgets and plugins were never intended to produce. Grundik is based in London and is an acclaimed musician playing in projects such as free jazz/techno duo Tennota and Krautfolk collective Staraya Derevnya. Slava Smelovsky lives in Israel, collaborates with the music label Boiled Angel Records, and engages in neuro art, releasing experimental multimedia projects using neural networks and lo-fi synthesis.

This album was released by Fact records in 1999 on a limited edition CD-R with a cardboard box with a stamp as a cover. The label is the first DIY label in Israel. In this time CD burners became available on each PC and producers were able to produce an album at home that created a revolution in music distribution. Label founder Yoram Elikiam was an owner of a small record shop named Balance, it was a kind of community centre for all music junkies in the city. Fact was short lived but had published over 50 releases, it had a major influence on the electronic and Indie scene in Israel.

The title “One second before the Planet blows Up” was ironic, as in that time there was a lot of talk about the millennium apocalypse. The album skeleton is the sampled speech all over the tracks, paving the character of the album as a dark absurdist comedy - “talking about tomorrow and yesterday”, “real timing”, or “everything you say will be recorded”, all are hinting to the post millennium technological paranoia.
The sound of the album is groovy and glitched, melodic and agitating, digital and warm, humorous and yet grim, like Aphex Twin was re-born in Jerusalem.

In the fifth instalment we present two rare tracks that are crossing time and space, both are inspired by the tradition of Kurdish music.

The first track is a reissue from DJ Yayehe, a true pioneer in the Jerusalem´s underground scene. Known for his expansive range, Yayehe’s work spans from his duo project Gaza to his deep dives into Ethiopian soundscapes.

The first track is a reissue from DJ Yayehe, a true pioneer in the Jerusalem´s underground scene. His remix of the legendary Tzadik Zecharia, master of the Kurdish zurna— a double-reed instrument heard at Kurdish weddings across Israel—was originally dropped on the rare 2007 remix CD Zadik Zecharia – Kurdish Melodies on Zorna via Something on The Road Records.
In honor of DJ Yayehe, who sadly passed away in 2021, we’re committed to reissuing all his work, including unreleased gems, to keep his beats alive and resonating on dance floors.

The second track, Rollerberger Str, is a killer production by Tropikal Camel, featuring a sample from Kurdish vocalist Habib Ben Nuriel, discovered in the bustling markets of Jerusalem. This track originally dropped on vinyl in 2019 on Kepler 452b, but this live recorded version brings a fresh vibe—think trippy quarter tones and groovy 707 beats that are perfect for those late-night sets.

Tracklist: 

1. Dj Kube & Yayehe Smon - Tzadick Zechria remix

🔊 https://youtu.be/CmgxmS3Zkac

Tribak records is honored to present Diwan an adventure by Keller , a veteran DJ and producer from Berlin who has played at the city's spiciest events and clubs such as Staub, the late Griessmuehle, About Blank to name a few. In the last few years he has started producing tracks under his own label "Candy Kingdom Synth Orchestra".

His colorful sound is a mix of sweet synths, quirky melodies and sorrel sounds. It's like eating a chocolate bar with a twist - there's candy inside!

Diwan is a sonic adventure, dramatic synths, rolling bass lines, pounding drums, and metallic zaps. It is named after three legendary bars in his hometown of West Jerusalem, the place where Keller first began DJing, those places that were a small utopia in the midst of a city in conflict.

The sound of Diwan is dense and mysterious, emotional yet focused, starting with "Kov'an", which opens with a thrilling melody and then descends into the grid pit of a Berlin dungeon with pixie dust everywhere, "Diwan" is a powerful rave anthem with mystical synths and the closing track "Sira" is a perfect closing track that will have sunset dancers tearing up.

On remix duty we have three tasty lollipops that honor the spirit of Diwan. First we have a heavy duty Perlin from Feller (Hard Fist & Altered Rhythm Experience), a producer known for his unique hazy touch, second we have a toffee from Chris Mitchell, label boss of Feral Colony, he presents a subwoofer shaker with a massive tension build, lastly an eclair with a pink cream on top produced by Geneva's favorite John Levi', he lowers the tempo for a dramatic slow moe, in one word delicious!
