Peter Van Heusen and friends // The Block Club
Tel Aviv clubs are finding it difficult to release the summer. This is already the third production that takes care of us for a never-ending party with an after-party deep into Saturday, and this time it’s the block club that closes the season with no less than the legendary DJ and producer, Peter Van Heusen. Van Heusen takes the techno that we are used to hearing in almost every club and adds an elasticity to it that gives it a unique and slightly lighter sound. He will play for the first time in the courtyard of the block set live analog, and he will be joined by Adi Hirsch, AKA One Agent in the opening set, Roni Group and the resident Tal Cohen who will open the after at six in the morning. Hilo, Jones Hassan, and Ronnie Group will play in the lounge, which will continue from the courtyard to the after lounge.
The block, Derech Shlomo 157, Friday (26.8) 11:30 p.m., NIS 50-110
Italomania #4 // Pie Garden
For all those who didn’t have time to fly abroad this summer, or those who did but want more – here is your chance to jump to Italy without going through an inspection at the Netnagov. On Thursday Pai organizes an evening full of Italian and disco, the cult genre that brings together cheesy disco and dark synths. Add some French chic to this pleasure and you have a classic vacation in Europe. The French fragrance will be brought by Jennifer Cardini, a DJ who has long been an international sensation with sets that are meticulous about the purity of house, disco (both Italian and not), and some techno. Before her, Dodi Vadish and Kotik will be recorded, followed by Rapa Best Bek To Bek with Yoav Goldman. It’s worth it, it’s worth it and one more time – it’s worth it.
Pie Garden, Ahad Ha’am 54, Thursday (25.8) 20:00, free until midnight, 50 NIS after
Red Access launching a new IP // MAZE
Red Access does not need to be introduced. One of Israel’s most successful electronic exports in recent years is launching a new EP (including a music video) at an extremely cool party with two hot arenas (so hot that they decided to hold the party in a club with showers so you can cool off). Besides the showers, the club offers two floors that will allow you to get lost and find yourself again. In any case, back to the party: next to them in the lineup you can find Yzerel’s Finest, Otrakik and Katik Best back to back which is always a pleasure to hear. And there is also international representation: Bodino, an Italian DJ who lives in Berlin and specializes in sound that creatively combines New Wave and Techno. In the second square and no less tempting – Echo, Danny Vac and Amit Stark. We can’t think of a better way to start the weekend.
MAZE, Hasharon 12, Thursday (25.8) 11:59 p.m., starting at 120 NIS
Shen, launch appearance // Rafi
The band that is signed to the excellent label of Red Access (again, hello to you) is launching a second album, “Tea Toa”, in a performance you shouldn’t miss. Contrary to everything that happens in the international music scene, this special band manages to stay true to rock and roll and keep it current, interesting and above all pleasing to the ear. The dirty guitars and the endless groove combined with the saxaphile of the four make their sound hypnotic and addictive, and the performance an event we are waiting for with great excitement. Before the show you can enjoy songs and jams by Garzen Sound System, and then dance and let loose with Olsbenger’s set.
Rafi, Beit Romano Derech Jaffa 9, Friday (26.8) 9:00 p.m., free entry
Club Night // Ozan Club
This coming Friday great levels are expected at Ozan Club: Yaeli, Oron Kay back to back with Charlie, Matris and Aviv. They are all DJs that are worth coming and listening to, and that are sure to turn up a hot band. The bar will be taken over by the Hypnotic Discotheque, with a crew that includes Yona Limousin, Eran Quint, Amit Stark and Mayola. It’s no longer a secret that we are big fans of the hypnotic, so we won’t say too much, we’ll just say that for anyone who wants to close the month of August with a worthwhile party, we highly recommend coming.
Hausen, King George 48, Friday (26.8) 11:00 p.m., NIS 60-70

Cook Shouk’s end of summer camp // South Park
Kook Shuk closes the summer with a cool and special production in a location that we haven’t had the chance to pick up yet. We welcome any production that does a little something different in the city, and this is absolutely the case with this event, which will go outside the club and take place in South Park. It is a full day (from 14:00 to 23:00) of fun on the banks of the lake and will include a yoga and chillout class, recordings by elite DJs such as Dina, Yaeli, Haim Vitali and Eran Quint, all hosted by Lotus Revlon, the MC The legendary TLV Ballroom events. There are also fears of an underground after-party in nature. We have already packed the bag and are impatiently waiting to sit down.
South Park, Saturday (27.8) 14:00, 80-120 NIS
Orungada // Pie Club
And to conclude, we return to the pie for a heaping dose of vitamin C that will last us until next summer. Besides fresh orange juice that will be served at the bar, you will also find on the menu the fainting Soda Dream, Oysters, a.k.a. Shea Lerner and the devastating Shelly Liver, Oron Kay who wins this whole summer celebration, and OMOLOKO, one of the rising names in the electronic scene in Brazil who is known for original sets Combining house, disco and afro beats. There is no more summery lineup than this and we already miss the season that makes our hearts warm and sweat circles elsewhere.
Pie Club, Ahad Ha’am 54, Saturday (27.8) 2:00 p.m., NIS 50-80
