·54 min·5 clips

Jenny Guetta broadcasts Genesis from Tel Aviv as war with Iran enters its fourth week, with music as her only constant companion.

Jenny Guetta opens the Genesis broadcast by acknowledging the ongoing war with Iran and the uncertainty surrounding Passover holidays. She frames music as a constant companion during these difficult times. The episode focuses entirely on music from the Lobster Theremin label, a British electronic label founded in 2014. Jenny describes the label's sound as embodying London hipsterism with simple electronic tools and heavy effects. She plays tracks from artists like Pepe, A-Sock, Matrixman, DJ Seinfeld, and Root 8. The host notes the label expanded into distribution services in 2022 under the name Lobster Distributor. She mentions Lobster Theremin has at least 12 sub-labels including Distance to Y, Mock, and Distant Horizon. Jenny analyzes the genre sometimes called Hipster House, suggesting the term reflects more on listeners than musical content. She discusses how record covers and production approaches contribute to this aesthetic. The host explains the label's logo cleverly combines lobster imagery with wave patterns representing the theremin instrument. She describes the theremin as an electromagnetic instrument that manipulates sound through hand movements. Jenny highlights Root 8 as one of the label's foundational artists who produced its third release. The episode transitions through various electronic styles including house, dub, electro, and drum and bass. Jenny emphasizes the playlist format over a traditional DJ mix. She repeatedly encourages listeners to explore Lobster Theremin's catalog independently. The broadcast concludes with thanks to supporters including Gan Ha'ir, ENAV, and Kwami.
