Music has always been an integral part of my life. At home from an early age it's always been about music. My father was a trumpet player and my older brother is a classic piano player and a composer. At the age of seven I started to playing on the drums, I played mostly rock music to start with and this gave me another take on the music world.
I first got in to electronic music when I was about 15 years old. This was after hearing the sounds of Kraftwerk and The Orb, I was blown away by it. It was a desire to share my passion for music and with other people that got me in to djing. I've never wanted to be a big "DJ" or someone that everybody knows. It's not something that I'd feel comfortable with and just like to do my own thing.
From early on I was playing a lot of deep music, it was much more interesting for me then the other genres around. The sound I go for has always been "underground" I've never felt the mainstream music, its hard for me to hear music that someone made with the sole intention of cash. From an artists point of view I must understand the artist and hear soul in the music and the process the artist has undergone. After a couple of year's djing I started to produce music. I was fortunate to work with some very special artists. This has been a great inspiration for me and these artists still inspire me today, Hanan Revivo and Nir Tsfati, they always help me to understand myself better and they make me feel better with myself as producer.
I have played and produced music in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, I've also been one of the editors on Jerusalem radio 101fm. I've recently moved to London and opened a record label, Sushitech, with my friend Matt du Jardin, we have similar visions for the label. Our goal for the label is to release the music that we love, clever music that artist has written from the soul. It's all about what are we feeling at the moment.
In 2006 i will lunch a new label called Pariter with my friend Matt du Jardin. The label will be run by myself and six friends - Barem, George S, Ryan Crosson, Ma'ayan Nidam, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss. Togther, we aim to take this techno world we're into one step further.
I'm currently working in the studio and trying to play my thoughts and feeling in to the music, I'm working with friends like Marco Z.K (Freiluft) and Claudia Bonarelli who are helping me to find another side of myself. As an artist and DJ I'm always trying to find new styles I'm doing everything that I can feel. There's always something that is inspiring me to do the things I'm doing and feeling.
