 Rendezvous Rendezvous has come a long way. This jazz electronica band started with an incredibly successful underground EP release; now, their very first album is about to go mainstream! Starting with a fateful meeting, Rendezvous was formed when Itai Simon and Hagai Izenberg first met in the music school they both went to. This crucial moment, coupled with their collaboration with other brilliant artists for the making of their EP, has led them to be known as Rendezvous. The band’s electropop-jazz fusion provides a valuable escape from today’s cluttered, highfalutin sound. Giving an exquisite interpretation of psychedelic jazz and electronica, Rendezvous is going even one step further by instilling other influences into their album, such as string orchestras, darbukas, and many other sounds that surprisingly connect well with their concept. Their music seeps into your skin, making an indelible imprint; you’ll find it hard to forget Rendezvous’ music once you get a taste of what they have to offer.

If there is a decade that scientists in the future can pinpoint to show when humans as a specie evolved to its next mutation, there will be few who will dissent that the decade in question will be the one that is just ending in a few more hours: The 2000s. In this decade, we humans moved to a higher plane. The kind of humans we were a decade ago is not even half of what we are now.
In 1998, a black American president can only exist in a disaster movie called Deep Impact. Likewise, in the late 90’s video broadcasts that have the most number of viewers still appear on real television sets. Also, 10 years ago, the newspaper business actually produced products made of paper with news printed on it.
A giant leap has occurred in the 2000s that separated humans that lived to experience the decade, and those who did not. The leap is so astounding, only future thinkers can fully grasp its impact. Sorry, Mr. Einstein. In the late 2000s cell phones can do so much, they are seldom used as phones. These phones are so hi-tech, users don’t need to memorize phone numbers–even their own.
More so, cars have evolved to respect nature and interact with its drivers hence they are now called ‘Smart.’ In the previous decade, AIDS was still regarded as a death sentence. Now, for those who can afford, AIDS is just a condition. In the mid-2000s, the job description ‘Video Store Clerk’ still existed and was still considered a good career path.
