When it comes to setting the tone for a brand new musically inspired movement, Rendezvous certainly has what it takes. Comprising of two talented musicians, Itai Simon and Hagai Izenberg, who have been collaborating since 2003, Rendezvous‘ work can be best described as instrumental and experimental, bringing together both retro sounds and depth as well as modern electronic beats and vibe to this contemporary world.
Immediately after releasing their first EP on 2004 and generating a serious underground buzz, they began working on their full length debut album, Another Round Please, a project that took them almost five years to complete.
During the recording of their debut album they teamed-up with highly reputed mixer and producer Dave Bascombe who has previously worked with such bands as Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Suede, Manic Street Preachers and Erasure to name but a few. Dave Bascombe later on mixed the album at Metropolis Studios, London.
Inspired by the artistic vision that once Pink Floyd ignited, Rendezvous went the extra mile searching for their unique sound and color that now defines them so glamorously. Their original approach to electronica, which involves the extensive use of analog and vintage equipment, led the duo down a long creative path resulting in an album full of spacey psychedelic moodscapes, epic melodies and poppy beats.
‚Another Round Please? consists of 8 tracks, with each one designed to transport the listener off on a different adventure. This is especially noticeable on the exotic and mystical track „Egypt?, which utilizes a range of musical elements from the oriental cultures, and on the alluring track „Adagio for Tiesto? which is a homage to the legendary DJ Tiesto and features a classical string orchestra. The remaining tracks are equally enchanting and hold their own individual experiences.
The creation of the album was also documented and released as a series of short video clips on Youtube, generating great interest from people all around the globe and receiving more than 1 million views.
Together with more than 20,000 fans on Facebook, reviews on DJ Magazine among others and radio airplay all over Europe, Rendezvous is now perfectly situated to launch it’s new masterpiece into the mainstream media with the belief that they can offer a new take on the genre and give the world of music a true breath of fresh air.
Rendezvous‘ first single „C Sharp“ was released on June 27th accompanied by 2 remixes from Carl Cox. Rendezvous second single called „The Murf“ is released on October 7th and will include remixes by John Digweed, Nick Muir, Loverush UK and Timothy Allan.
The album „Another Round Please“ is planned to be released on November this year.
