In a world of division, BĘÃTFÓØT's second album is as an invitation to unite at a utopian celebration of life. Originally scheduled for release in October 2023 but postponed due to the ongoing Israel/Palestine war, the intrinsically-political Too Cute has taken on more prominence than the Tel Aviv duo of Udi Naor and Adi Bronicki could have imagined. While both Naor and vocalist Bronicki have been active in protests, charity work and community efforts over the past year -- explicitly against the current government in Israel -- such values of peace, acceptance, coexistence, inclusiveness and anti-hate from all sides are further instilled in the songs that form Too Cute. Too Cute is a refreshingly-ridiculous dark-rave rollercoaster which careers between hard-dance, big-beat, post-punk, techno, hyperpop, country and everything in between. Things blast off at breakneck speed with the chaotic title track's hyperpop snares, instantly-catchy lyrics (which feel ominously striking considering the war) and a stadium-ready chorus that erupts into rolling breakbeats, punishing EDM and even a nod to The Bloodhound Gang's "The Magic Touch." While their first record's experimental explosion captured the pure carnage and energy of the BĘÃTFÓØT universe in a conceptual fashion (though remaining polished in its own way), album two is primed to connect with a bigger audience thanks to its pop melodies, structures and songwriting. BĘÃTFÓØT -- who have found a home among the LGBTQIA+ community -- are fighting back against oppression. "We want everybody to come to the party and celebrate life together," says Naor, setting out his and Bronicki's mission -- "and our goal is to widen that party as wide as it can go." Featuring Princess Rani and Bugle Boy.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Spice Girls smoked crack and joined forces with the Power Rangers on acid? Meet BĘÃTFÓØT. These punk-infused electronic poltergeists and big-beat acid trio are Udi Naor, drummer and founding member of electronic duo Red Axes, Adi Bronicki (fronts Israeli garage-punk-folk band Deaf Chonky) and ace-of-all-trades, guitarist Nimrod Goldfarb. The band have been launching warped stoner-acid-pop out of Tel Aviv with maniacal intent and are producing post-punk rave bangers that will scorch every dancefloor with a huge lethal smile. BĘÃTFÓØT are a DIY supergroup who describe themselves as sitting somewhere between Aqua, Beastie Boys, and The Prodigy. Their music endeavors feel akin to being hurtled through a kaleidoscopic waterslide, overflowing with the spirit of '90s youth culture. The radioactive trio are DJs, musicians, songwriters and producers with a diverse range of individual projects and talents, their combined sonics map your journey across the hazy astral spectrum of hip-hop, big beat and rave music. Morph these radioactive pieces with the no nonsense attitude of punk-rock and the venomous spitting flow of golden-era rap and you might just come close to fabricating the freakish sound of BĘÃTFÓØT. The band's self-titled debut is set for release on Manfredi Romano aka DJ Tennis's Life and Death. Founded in 2010, the imprint curates soulful dance music with a post-rock aesthetic. This refreshingly original and experimental LP from BĘÃTFÓØT marks a new direction for Life and Death this year and beyond. BĘÃTFÓØT takes unsuspecting listeners on a wild ride of unprecedented musical madness (firmly without seatbelts). Fizzy synthesizer programming stimulates you effervescently through the album like the welcomed sting of sour sweets, surprising accompaniments appear in the form of manipulated vocal lines and quirky samples, all jovially mixed together in a gummy melting pot of wild conceptualization and starry-eyed rhythms. Thirteen tracks of unprecedented dancefloor mutations send us triumphantly into the candy-covered kingdom of BĘÃTFÓØT with open arms and infinite imagery of fanciful gutter-glam escapades. This project fulfills the role of a musical bulldozer, flattening all previous conceptions of what it means to belong to a genre and leaving behind a hot mess trail of anarchic musical fragments in its wake. The undying spirit of the nineties. With fans that include legendary Irish born singer, songwriter and producer Roisin Murphy, BĘÃTFÓØT are a breath of fresh air set to be igniting dancefloors this summer. Green vinyl.

One of the top drummers in the Israeli scene, Tel-Aviv based songwriter and producer BĘÃTFÓØT launches his solo project with the powerful new EP De Vibez, a fanciful gutter-glam cross between stoner-acid-pop and '90s-garage-punk. Side A contains some stunning originals alongside a surprising cover of a melancholic oldie by the legendary German singer Nico. Side B be the remixes: the first, a colorful club-driven remix by Garzen Records head honchos & electronic duo Red Axes, followed by a groovy down-tempo drone version by the mesmerizing Smagghe & Cross.
