International Music Platform Boiler Room Removes All Videos of Sets Held in Israel
(www.haaretz.com)
The international party line and online music broadcaster Boiler Room, one of the most prominent and influential platforms in the nightlife scene, has deleted all the DJ sets held in Israel from its official website and YouTube channel.
Boiler Room, founded in London, has been operating for about 15 years as a party series that hosts DJs from around the world, recording and livestreaming their sets. Over the years, the brand has become one of the most recognized names in global club culture, with parties held in over 100 cities and billions of views across social media platforms.
In a press statement issued about two weeks ago, Boiler Room said: "Boiler Room has been through various changes in control, investors, boards, and ownership, and through this our commitment to editorial independence and Palestine has never wavered. No investor, past or present, has ever influenced our output, this will never change.
We will always remain unapologetically pro-Palestine. We continue to adhere to BDS and PACBI guidelines regarding artist programming and brand partnerships and engage with Palestinian artists and organisers in order to formalise our internal policies in line with this commitment. We uphold international law and human rights for all, regardless of identity."

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite #bands. I can't believe they're retiring from touring this year... I tried to see them every time they came in the area. I remember 100% not being into this type of music and them opening for the post-hardcore band Thursday. I remember small murmurs happening as they walked on stage with a #cello. I remember everyone's jaw being on the floor by the end of their set and their merch line being overwhelmed by a bunch of scene kids tasting something new. They are one of the many reasons I discovered other genres. Namely #postrock - for that alone I'll be eternally grateful.
As for this song... man, such a lovely track... dark and romantic - and a so catchy. I wish i had more to say, but it just leaves me with an odd feeling. Like not really nostalgic, but in a similar vein. Just feels warming. I hope this is played at my #funeral The video is rare in that it truly adds to the track. Adds to the dark tale of love. If you haven't already, please check this band out as they're on their farewell tour. They never fail to impress both in their discography and their performance. The have an entire album dedicated to the devil dying in a bar fight. Their discography does not miss... I cannot think of a single song by them that I don't enjoy. This has a lot to do with the band's passion for music... it's probably incredible hard to find now... But they did a split for Volta do Mar (not the mars volta lol) where it's just like 15 seconds of them shooting the shit about how people don't really care about music. That stuck with me... mostly due to how clear how much they put into their releases. I hope theirs music in the future, and even if there isn't -
Thank you Murder By Death! You left us so many good albums and songs to enjoy... and covers! Their Creep by TLC is something to behold.
I look forward seeing them this summer and being thrown back to that time being a awestruck high schooler
