Tel Aviv goes Wild over Madonna’s Arrival
by: Kristóf Yosef Steiner
Are you ready to jump? In two weeks the greatest show on earth is about to begin. Madonna hits the road once again to makes us go wild at her MDNA world tour and as the first stop is Tel Aviv the citizens of the gay capital of the Middle East are ready to strike a pose at the Queen’s courtyard.
1. Absolute Madonna by David Pearl
The Absolute Madonna line started after Dave discovered that the “material girls” (and boys) of Tel Aviv’s nightlife are left with nothing but remixes, mash-ups of the diva’s classic hits. This on-going party is always an amazing evening for fans and friends, and as it’s been running for over three years it has it’s very own, always growing crowd. This time it’s almost illegal to miss it: one lucky bastard will win a ticket for the show. Party producer David Pearl says: “The set list is filled with hits of female pop divas from the last three decades, and special music sets are dedicated to the greatest diva and the one and only queen, Madonna-just to remind us all where the pop music started and who’s the royalty.” Pearl glams up his nights with special guest deejays, live performers – his performance director is the world famous Bat-Sheva dance group‘s Shamel Pitts. The stars of the pre-show night are The Hybrid Lavas with Shamel Pitt, surprising the crowd with a brand new version of the MDNA fan favorite, Gang Bang. Don’t forget to save your party flyer: it’s designed by the talented and always revolutionary illustrator Ben Verona-Polski.Friday, 18th of May, ZIZI club

3. The Warm Up by Offer Nissim and Martin Solveig
Double the trouble: French electronic music DJ and producer Martin Solveig and Israeli DJ Offer Nissim are both ready to put you in the MDNA mood as the official warm up acts for Madonna’s Israeli concert. The pre-show can’t get bigger than this: Solveig ranks no. 29 in Britain’s DJ Mag Top 100 DJs list, and he is one of the co-producers of Madonna’s 12th studio record, producing first hit single Give Me All Your Luvin’, featuring Nicki Minaj & M.I.A., which peeked at nr 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Chart. The Tel Aviv born Nissim is known for mashing smashing remixes for such artists as Beyonce, Britney Spears and Madonna herself. “It’s a dream come true for me, to get such an estimate from someone like Madonna, who’s always up to date with what’s happening in the music world,” said Nissim on the press conference of the MDNA world tour in Tel Aviv. “She has always been ahead of her time and knows how to reach a variety of audiences.”
