So tell us how are you today ?<br />
Thank you for your interest. I'm fine working on<br />
alots off new music.<br />
How was your week?<br />
My week was busy and interesting alots off gigs<br />
and new relase.<br />
Were did you grow up?<br />
I grew up in a coastal city in Israel called Ashdod.<br />
Were are you based?<br />
Today I live in Israel in the city where I grew up i<br />
was liiving yin new york And several years ago I returned<br />
to Israel.<br />
What is your first musical memory?<br />
I remember me and several other friends at<br />
the age of 15 going out to hang out in Tel Aviv and<br />
somehow we managed to get into an underground<br />
party in one of the clubs there in the city and there<br />
was a very special DJ there who today is also a close<br />
friend named Assi Kozak and there I just fell in love<br />
with music.<br />
How did you get into music DJ'ing<br />
and production?<br />
Oh, it's a long story, but I'll try to make it short.<br />
<strong>From</strong> that day at the club I decided that I was going to be a<br />
dj. The beginning of my journey started as an assistant to<br />
a dj, more stage management, sound checks and<br />
equipment, and if time had already learned the basics back<br />
then we were still playing on turntables and it was a<br />
completely different experience if the assistant time<br />
became a permanent heater and then I already got a stage<br />
by myself and from there It didn't stop for a moment.<br />
At the age of 25, later I decided to move up a gear<br />
and start producing my own music, of course at the<br />
beginning, as in the beginning, not everything goes<br />
smoothly, but I always say to anyone who wants to start<br />
creating, start first, no matter what you get in terms of<br />
production and sound, that's the only way it gets better if<br />
time learns every day and every time something new And<br />
that's how it is today, especially the music goes through<br />
rapid changes and transformations, but you will always<br />
create something that makes you move.<br />
Tell us about the clubs or scene in<br />
that time?<br />
At the time the clubs were not so different but<br />
warmer. The audience was a regular audience in the clubs<br />
that became friends along the way.<br />
Today there is greater awareness because of the<br />
networks so we didn't have social networks for a good<br />
reason word of mouth today is a real tsunami of<br />
information everywhere.<br />
Can you pinpoint the time you<br />
decided DJ'ing was your future and<br />
you wer going to follow your<br />
passion?<br />
Absolutely, as soon as you are in love with the<br />
music you make, you make the audience love you and the<br />
audience is what pushes you to always bring that<br />
something else that will add value to this world of yours<br />
that you are building, a good DJ doesn't always have to go<br />
with the flow, he dictates the flow and makes the audience<br />
connect with him and that What made me continue to play<br />
and create this construction of experiences for the<br />
audience, "Rome was not built in one day" either.<br />
Were can we catch you out side of<br />
your live shows?<br />
Outside of my shows, in the studio or traveling<br />
and vacationing with the family I'm quite a family man you<br />
could say?<br />
Are you an abelton / reason / logic<br />
or analog guy?<br />
The truth is, I started with Cubase, but I quickly fell in<br />
love with Logic, and from there it's been a long-lasting<br />
romance.<br />
Run us trough your home set up.<br />
A 15 square meter room with a 42-inch screen on<br />
one side, 4 monitors, 2 rokit 5 by krk and two A7V ADAM<br />
Audio monitors, a relatively new Mac Pro computer today,<br />
year 2019, and another Mac Book Pro for viewing data, an<br />
APOLLO X8 Universal Audio sound card, and another one<br />
from Roland 4×4 Komplete Kontrol A25 control keyboard<br />
and korg minilogue xd synthesizer that is synchronized with<br />
The Moog Subsequent 37 synthesizer.<br />
What is your go to software?<br />
MacBook Pro 15 inch with Logic Pro x if I get a<br />
new idea for creation and of course there are two important<br />
software if necessary the Serato software and RecordBox of<br />
course.<br />
Explain your writing process.<br />
My writing process depends on whether the beats<br />
are a track with vocals or a track without vocals. When it<br />
comes to a track with vocals, the connection to the vocals<br />
and the melody is critical. This is what will create harmony<br />
at the end of the process. Of course, one of the relevant<br />
details, in my opinion, is the groove of the drums and the<br />
bass, for each creation.
