You survived Yom Kippur, now it’s time to party! Here are some fab options for this weekend in Tel Aviv.
Tonight (Thursday)
Ibadan Records night at The Block with Jerome Sydenham and Argy. New York style house music from 23:30. 80NIS on the door or 70NIS if you’re quick and order here.
***
Celebrate activist style at Beit Haam, Tel Aviv’s Occupy/Social Justice movement community centre. From 19:00 till…later, there’s going to be a “hyper active” party with DJ Shira Arad, live music, a jam session and booze. Free entry. Great if you want to get to know people involved in the local protest scene in friendly, informal surroundings.
***
DJ Galo in charge of the electronic beats tonight at Anna Loulou’s famed Dance Here night. Apparently this guy comes highly recommended and even though he’s only 18, he’s already being hailed as insanely promising. This could be your “hear tomorrow’s superstar DJ today” moment. I’ve never heard the guy, but the organisers are pretty enthused and they generally have very good DJs on. Free.
***
The new Bootleg club (formerly the Maxim Club) is hosting Our Darkness, a dark 80s night. Tonight is a Depeche Mode special. Get your nostalgia on. 40NIS till 00:30, then 50.

Friday
Pacotek is back! Yay! It’s at the Deli with EMIL DOESN’T DRIVE (Berlin). From 22:00. Not sure if it’s free or just cheap. Techno / tech house all night long.

Legotek at Checka. They’re going back to their roots and there will be driving techno and house, as well as a free vinyl record giveaway at 2AM if you go up to the DJ booth and ask (just get ready to push loads of other people out of the way). Starts at 22:00, goes on till late, costs 20NIS.

Feel the floor, Women’s party at the Zizi. A great place to meet hot women if you’re gay, a fun place to have a hassle-free dance to good music if you’re not.
