We ask all of you to join our prayer for Peace in our region as this is the most important thing to us at the moment. All together this has been quite a good year for trance in Israel. Infrastructures that were destroyed by the brutal police raids during 1998-99 have started to rebuild themselves. More small outdoor parties were held, the partygoers have started to regain their trust in Trance and the police have been seeming to be a bit more relaxed. During the beginning of 2000 Psy-Trance has started seeping into the bigger clubs and you could hear trance being played in the smaller rooms of the clubs quite regularly and occasionally on the main stage as well. Productionwise this has been quite a fertile year with new albums by Space Cat, BLT, Infected Mushroom Future Prophecy and Sandman that pushed the boundaries of the Israeli sound even further. Compilations by Hommega (Eyal and Xerox), BNE and MDMA (Dede and Micha) crews brought new sounds to the Israeli awareness. DJ sets from DJ Yaniv DJ Gidi DJ's Dede and Micha and Mark Allen and Goa Gill have been released by Local labels. Avatar records have expanded their activity and released two albums by Asia 2001 and Toi Doi. USTA (formerly known as Krembo) under the leadership of DJ Zoo-B and A&R by DJ O-Fear have released their debut CD of three Artists: Bonky + FOL Kailum and Brain. Bubbles as well as a bunch of singles. MDMT (MDMA's Sub label) also have released their debut vinyls and Yaniv (Through Baloonia) kept the world of records updated on the events of the Israeli Full on Sound. A very good debut Album was released by the newcoming Producers Skazi on their own label Shaffel Rec.. The old time Goa Veterans California Sunshine (DJ Miko and Har-ell) and Astral Projection also have featured new releases this year. This has also been a very good year for the Israeli abroad mission with Dark Soho releasing their debut album on Sphere records from the UK. Israeli producers provided half of the Tsunami CD from the American label Kinetic and Analog Pussy have redefined their sound through the help of Yaniv and Hadshot Haheizar. And with djs and producers from Israel such as Oforia, Goblin, Xerox, DJ Gidi, Infected Mushroom and Space Cat travelling further and further to bring the Israeli sound to Goa and Psy freaks around the Globe. A steady line of high-quality progressive trance has emerged from the Underground Dinamo Dvash Club through cooperation with Usta that brought the cream of the updated sound from Europe to Israel. And the local, more fully sounds have been flourishing as well through Omacoma, with some of the best club parties this year, and the Two Big and Nadi Team that did the best outdoor raves in the desert. Smaller parties have started reemerging as well and the summer time was quite busy here. One of the Years best events has been a three day party cruise for 600 people on the Mediterranean which just blew everyone on it away. This has also shown that the progressive-Swedish sound as some of the most hard rocking minimal sets on the cruise were delivered by NOMA and S-Range. This was balanced for the Israeli ear by sets from Oforia, DJ Lestat and DJ Mael OF 3D-Vision. Other djs on the cruise were Sun-Shy from USTA, Gidi Hovek Olam, Boxer from Dark Soho, Auspexx 66 DJ Nadi and Yours truly DJ Boris. Hope to see you next year in Israel ! </FONT></H0> <CENTER> </CENTER> <h4><a href="mailto:Kenatik@hotmail.com">Kenatik@hotmail.com</a></h4> <p> <font color="#FFFF00">-   <br>   </CENTER> <CENTER> </CENTER> <CENTER> </CENTER> <CENTER> </CENTER> </TD> </TR> </TABLE>   </BODY> </HTML>
