Can you start by running us through your background in music?
I started DJing when I was 14, and right from the start, I knew I wanted to express myself and create my own sound. I realized that not all the tracks I collected really captured the vibe I wanted to put out there. So, when I was 15, I started learning how to produce music, and I’ve been learning and growing ever since.
I grew up in a home where we listened to all kinds of music—from blues and rock and roll to Israeli folk and what’s known in Israel as ‘Mizrahi’ music.
Can you share any upcoming releases or projects with us?
I’ve got a new album dropping soon on Ursul Records. It’s a mix of live blues and rock and roll layered over electronic beats. The album’s vibe shifts from high-energy dance tracks to laid-back, soulful blues. I’m super excited to finally put it out there for everyone to hear
There is a new album coming out soon. What inspired the creation of this EP/Album, and what do you hope listeners take away from it?
Honestly, I put this album together during a war that’s still unfolding here. With nothing else to do but stay home, I got some friends together, and we just jammed. We played through all the ups and downs, capturing our highs and lows, and recorded every bit of it. That’s basically how the album came together. It was a soulful and healing journey back then. I hope people feel the raw energy, the life, and the soul in the music, and embrace those perfectly imperfect moments—just like in people and nature.
How did this collaboration come about, and what made the tracks special?
The truth is, every collaboration on this album came about totally on the fly. Some were born from impromptu jams with friends, while others were purely from the shared urge to create. I often set up sessions with people I’ve never even met. Still, even then, there’s always this mutual understanding that our desire—or even need—to make music together is the most powerful connection.

How do you think your sound has evolved over the years? What are some of the things you’ve been exploring in the studio lately?
My sound and what I want to create are always changing because I’m constantly curious. I’m always searching for new things to get my creativity flowing and drawing inspiration from all kinds of different places. With my current project, I went through a big change over time. I started with downtempo music and gradually shifted to a more upbeat style—it just happened naturally. But there are still plenty of times when I feel the need to make slow, heartfelt music. Lately, I’ve been really into exploring minimalism, seeing how much you can do with just a few instruments and layers.
What trends or changes are you most excited about in today’s electronic music industry?
I’m really stoked that the electronic music scene is embracing so much diversity. It’s amazing to see people vibing with tracks that might’ve seemed totally out of left field just a few years ago.
What is your favorite track at the moment?
Honestly, I’m never gonna have an answer to that, and I kinda like it that way. Honestly, I’ve never known how to answer that question, and I’m kinda hoping I never will.
