obvious for us that we should work
in a professional way, we sent some
demos and immediately started to
work with U.S.T.A. records.
In February 2002 we released our
debut album "Dejavoodoo". It was
different kind of music that came
from Israel and people really liked
it. Since then we played at trance
parties all over the world, released
few tracks on different compilations
and now the 2nd album is out.
What's the meaning of your name?
The name Lish is made by the first
two letters of each first name. LIor
and SHay :-)
What's the concept of Lish? What's
the sense of a Lish track?
Lish music has inside of it a lot of different
grooves, from progressive
tunes up to powerful trance. We try
to combine European sounds of progressive
trance with Israeli sweeping
energies full of motions and psychedelic
elements.
The image I had of Lish before was
one of a cool and deep techno
trance band. I know your releases on

find different styles between our
releases.
