IL
R&B/Soul, Folk, World and Hip-Hop/Rap

An Israeli sound system group, includes 4 DJs from Tel-Aviv: Eyal Robb, Ronen Sabbo, Michael "Shimi Sonic" Emet and Ido "Wido" Saar, also known as 'Soulico Crew' and 'Soulico Kroov' (pun in Hebrew means cabbage / similarity to groove). Robb and Sabbo were for many years one of the mainstays of the Tel Aviv nightlife, playing hip hop, reggae, funk, rap and rare Israeli ravens, ahead of its time. Emet and Saar were known as 'The W.I.D Productions', and released a successful debut album in 1999 'Walking In Dreams'. In the early 2000's, the two couples decided to cooperate in creating music and having a party line. In 2004, when Sabbo and Saar returned from NY, the sound system resumed its activity with a party line and a recording of groundbreaking mixtape, a kind of debut album, called MasaBeha (a pun in Hebrew with double-meaning: 'trip inside of you' and special type of hummus serve) , which included collaborations with rappers such as Fishi Hagadol and Miro (Shabak-S) alongside original songs and remixes performed by the ShabakS, Hadag Nachash, Zehava Ben and others, a mixture of the Mediterranean heat with that of the US and Jamaica. In 2005 they released a summer hit, the song "I did not expect" together with Karolina, who at the time was a semi-anonymous singer of the band Funset. In 2006, they released the "double-black" mixtape. In 2009, their first full album, "Exotic on the Speaker" was released.
