To the untrained ear, the music heard blasting from every bus station and dance club in the country sounds like electronic malfunctioning. Although Rappaport uses foreign DJs on his discs, such as American BT and others, he says that Israeli DJs don't get the chance to be heard. Club wars here cause owners to send for only the very famous DJs from Europe. Rappaport has been abroad himself, to the US and Europe. I go there to buy new music, or to attend events.
Nothing beats a great trance party there.
The energy is incredible. Since producing Mr. DJ, Rappaport has come out with Pandora, similarly a melange of remixed goodies, and another disc is due out soon. After this week, however, he starts his tour around the country. I have my own label, which means I pay for my own expenses. This is the price DJs must pay if they wish to remain in this tiny, underfunded country.
