TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin CAT show!
Meow?
Meeow??
Meow?
MEOW!
That right friends /and enemies) tonight your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott sharpen their claws on the studio microphones and bring you 60 minutes of CAT-themed music from alleys around the globe.
Over the years Begilufin has had some very loyal CAT listeners and broadcasting a show in their honour is the least we can do. We expect them to ignore it however, because that’s what CATS do.
To counter this, we’ll include some top secret high frequency cat-tones. Our basket is full of tunes from Japan, France, Thailand, The Philippines and probably Brazil, because that’s the rule. Tune in tonight for a FULL-ON FELINE FREAKOUT!
On tonight’s island section, we dive into a shiny new non-cat-related single by the Finnish legend Jimi Tenor in collaboration with the trio Cold Diamond & Mink. Guaranteed to toast your toes and phase your braincells.
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of authentic mistakes for your entertainment.

Begilufin
Begilufin is an hour long radio show broadcast live twice a month from the heart Berlin on the station Pi Radio. On Begilufin we play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zones. Each show revolves around a central theme and then we surprise each other (and you, dear listener) with our selections live on air.
Since you ask, ‘Begilufin’ is a Hebrew word meaning intoxicated, inebriated, drunk, sozzled or smashed - a perfect description of the delirious off-centre mix of crazed music we like to spin on the show or indeed the effect it might have on your ears.
Begilufin was created by Ziv Lode in 2010. Ziv was joined by Dan Abbott a couples of years later after a chance meeting in a kindergarten playground revealed a mutual love of the music of Erkin ‘The Turkish Hendrix’ Koray.
