Hideout-TV - Radiostation Körperkorrektiv Vs. Die Arschritze der Gleichung #22

·1 hr 5 min·5 clips

A Berlin free radio station declares itself strictly anti-BDS while broadcasting live from a swamp behind a lake.

The episode begins with the host introducing Pi Radio as a free, anti-BDS station broadcasting from a swamp in Woltersdorf. He mentions the show will feature music exclusively from the band El Cut, a group with roots in Tel Aviv and Berlin. The hosts engage in a humorous discussion about creating a 40-minute jingle, comparing it to an audio game and noting its 20,000 euro cost, which they joke about funding from the RBB. They explain El Cut's name, linking it to a plant used in East and North Africa, and describe the band's polyrhythmic, fluttering music influenced by Yemenite traditions, jazz, and psychedelic elements. The host delves into the history of Yemenite Jews, detailing how they were forbidden to own instruments and instead used kitchen utensils like mugs and plates to create music. He outlines the Demi status laws, including extra taxes, construction bans, and riding restrictions, and notes the migration waves to Israel. Personal anecdotes follow, with the host sharing his dislike for crowded concerts and preference for bakeries, and a story about attending a Morton Feldman performance. The conversation turns to career choices, with the host recalling how he selected stone mason from a GDR vocational booklet because guitar builder wasn't listed, and his brief training in a company involved in Berlin construction projects. The hosts announce upcoming art exhibitions at Studio 2 in Berlin, featuring artists like Thomas Scheibitz and Matthias Rutenberg, and mention a festival opening party. They conclude by summarizing the show as part one of a Yemen special, encouraging listeners to find the music on playlists, and signing off with quirky banter.
