Some lines on the israel scene 


Text: Amit Eshel, amit@chaishop.com 

 

well it seem we got the bigest trance scene in the world.(per p population). trance music became mainstream in israel,during the last summer we had some trance festivals. to one of them 30000 !!!!! people came to 3 other big festival 10000 to 15000 people came. 

here is some info about the scene here. if you have any question or you need something email me.

my opininion is that israeli trance composers are from the best in the world. some of the names are : Astral Projection,Indoor(inscape,tandu,dna) ,Guy sebbag,Avi Nissim,MFG,Chakra & Edi mis,Nada,Sandman,Shidapu,Xerox Enertopia,P-cok,Oforia,Sonichaos,Cyble,Freeman and more ....

now it's winter time in israel.there are only indoor party's at club's. during summer time there are 3-6 each week . most of the party are around forest's ,the "dead see" ,near some magnificent beaches and in TEL-AVIV area. each time in a diffrent place. but it's not like there is one place. every week there are party's each time the party's are in diffrent places so you have to know the right people so you will know where are the best parties. there is no public place that published the best party because of the police. so if you want to come to a party you have to find someone who is "in trance". (or contact me...). since it's so popular now many party organizers do spread many flyers but the best parties are underground. some of the best partys i've been where here in Israel...

a lot of good dj playing here. the best israeli dj's are: 

  • MIKO - he was the first dj who played trance music alse have a lot of good music. he got the bigest trance colection on dat in the world and he play every year in goa and in many mant other places around the globe... 
  • AVI NISSIM - as a memeber of astral projection and one of the owner of "trust in trance records" He made some briliant trance collection like goa-vibes 1,2 & 3 , the israel psychadelic trance 1,2 , psychdelic vibes 1,2,3,4 and offcourse 6 astral projection album. I've been to some astral projection party in Israel and this is something you shouldn't miss. usualy their live show is less then 1.5 hour but if they been djing also it's something you'll never forget. they are realy profesional and i can swear i saw some people flying on their last party i've been to. 
  • ZOO_B & TAL - they have the best trance music shop and they got a lot of trance cd-s from diffrent places. they also played in GOA. 2 years they were invited to play on the final season party on GOA. they are the owners of KREMBO RECORDS which is one of the best goa/psychdelic trance record copmany in the world. the newest is "psychdelic krembo selected tunes part 2" ( krembo records) you can check www.krembo.co.il 
  • ITZIK LEVY - OR SANDMAN. he his a briliant musicion and a good dj his sound is very unique. soon he gonna have a new album in T.I.P INDOOR memebers - Ofer Dikovski his the most talent for my opinion lately he made a new album in Dragonfly Marco goren - his last work was with ofer dikovsky on tandu album - multimoods which was excelent. Avi algranati - i don't like his style which is psychdelic. his last album was dna-virtual jungle. the 3 of them are djing good. 
  • GUY SEBBAG - he is vary famous also outside Israel . he was playing in GOA and also in UK ,USA ,Netherland, Canada , France , Japan (Tokyo) .... for my opinion and i heard a lot of DJ'S he use to got the best music . he also make a lot of music by himself and produce some cd's in and outside Israel. his last cd is "trance from israel" (see trip page) i just heard that he is not playing anymore trance but the are rumors that he will soon and for me he was the best. 
  • Dj Nadi - very famous in the north of Israel,lately he have open a new Trance/house chop in Haifa and his the owner of DOMO records. 
there are many many more but this are the famest. many many DJ'S came to play here Tsyoushi,Axel,Mark Allen,GOA-GIL,OLLY Olsen,Synchro,Transwave (dado and christof),elysium,cedric,Joti Sidhu , Dino Psaras , Max (etnica),Jean Borelli,dj-Domino,nick taylor,kokbox,total eclipse,x-dream and many many more. there is also a german guy named Jorg (YORK) who play here alot. 

the scene here just growing and growing . but the police are realy trying to end the scene.- but 2 years ago there was a trial against a party arranger and dj and the judje made a statement that there is no connection between trance party's and drugs and it's an important decision. till this decision the police used to stop trance partys because they considered them drugs partys. 

Lately our police minister claim that one of the main goal of the police is to stop the "trance/acid" partys and they have many way to do so. some weeks ago that didnt let total eclipse in - they told them they are on the black list. some weeks ago they didn't let juna reactor. they told them they don;t have a license to make a perfomance and they wont let them in cause they came for trance parties. but still i think they can't win this war.the scene is too big. 

there are a lot of people who came back from goa/manali/koh-pangan who would like to keep partying and the trance composers in israel are known as the best in world. 

the newest israeli release are : 

  • mfg- new kind of world
