Our latest addition to the edit series comes from Russia duo @RadialGaze. These dudes have been making serious waves in the last 12 months, with debut releases on Eskimo, Calypso and Hard Fist amongst others. Then not to mention a killer EP coming very soon on Paradise Children (With remixes from Tim Paris , Tolouse Low Trax, La Mverte and Hanzo & Yaman).

The track in question is “Im Nin’alu” (If the door’s shut) – A Hebrew poem by 17th-century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. It has been placed to music and sung by Israeli singer Ofra Haza originally in 1978. She went on to become famous in Europe with the song in 1987, when a remixed version of the song, produced by Izhar Ashdot, reached the Top 10 in different countries. Even though Haza’s version of the song shows her own interpretation, and its reception was present-day and popular, it still fits in with the Yemenite tradition that she represented.

Lyrics ‘If the doors of the righteous will shut. The Doors of Heaven will still be open’.
