If your latest track were a TikTok meme, which one would it be – and why?
Probably one of those “unexpected drop” memes – because my music often starts smooth and suddenly hits you with energy you didn’t see coming.
What picture (or mental reel) describes your sound best?
A dark London alley lit by neon lights, with people dancing in the shadows until sunrise.
What’s the most absurd place a track idea has ever hit you?
In a bomb shelter during a siren. That’s the reality here in southern Israel.
If you had to turn a random DM into a song title – what would it be?
“Still Here, Still Dancing.”
Your sound as an emoji – which one and why?
a unicorn – because it’s rare, unexpected, and stands out in the musical landscape. You don’t see it every day, and when you do, it feels special.
Biggest studio fail – and how you fixed it?
Once I lost an entire project because I forgot to save. I rebuilt it from memory, and somehow it came out even better.
“This is more than a hobby” moment?
When I realized that even during two years of war, I still make time for music – not the other way around.
Track you loved but everyone else hated?
Yes, an early UK Garage experiment. People didn’t get it, but now it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever made.
Gig that threw you off completely?
Playing with WeAreThePeople at The Forum Club – the energy was unmatched, with a crowd that lived and breathed every beat.
Sound effect that makes you weak?
A deep, rolling sub-bass.
Current trend that annoys you – and one that inspires you?
Annoys me: Overuse of auto-tune in underground genres.
Inspires me: The UK Garage revival.
What needs to change so newcomers can get into the scene?
More open-minded lineups that give young DJs and producers real opportunities.
If you could redesign a club or festival?
It would be intimate, with a strong underground vibe, focused on sound quality and deep crowd connection – like the best nights in London.
Ultimate “drop everything and dance” track?
“Inspector Norse” by Todd Terje.
How does your background influence your sound?
Growing up in southern Israel during constant tension made me value every moment of joy – my tracks are an escape, a place of freedom.
One piece of gear you’d save if your studio was on fire?
My drum kit – it’s where my musical journey started, before moving into production and programming.
Production trick that shouldn’t work – but does?
Layering completely unrelated samples to create unexpected grooves.
One sample you’d never give away?
A unique snare I recorded myself years ago – it’s in almost every track I make.
Analog or digital – and why?
Both. Digital for speed and experimentation, analog for warmth and soul.
Producer hack that gave you the biggest “aha” moment?
Sidechain compression – once I learned it properly, my tracks started breathing.
What’s next for you?
More UK Garage-influenced tracks, pushing my underground sound internationally.
If you had to collab with an artist from another genre?
Bonobo – his atmospheric style would blend perfectly with my rhythms.
Imagine it’s 2030, your dream set – where and last track?
Somewhere in London, closing with my own unreleased track that people have been asking for all night.
How do you handle music requests?
I listen, but I stay true to my set’s flow.
What do you do when equipment goes on strike?
Adapt – I’ve learned to improvise with whatever is working.
Childhood musical influences?
I started drumming at 9, then fell in love with programming and music production. Computers are my third passion after drumming and music.
Can you argue about musical taste?
You can, but it’s pointless – music is about feeling, not winning debates.
Track for your boxing match entrance?
“The Prodigy – Firestarter.”
Worst job you ever had?
Dishwashing in a noisy kitchen – no rhythm, just chaos.
Describe your sound to someone who’s never heard it.
Deep, hypnotic beats with underground energy and emotional depth.
Good tour story?
Playing in a tiny basement party that turned into an 8-hour marathon set.
If you weren’t a musician?
A full-time programmer, probably still finding ways to mix tech and music.
Style of music that should have more followers?
UK Garage – it’s pure energy and groove.
Most important music equipment invention?
The DAW – it opened the door for anyone to create.
Advice to become a professional?
Make time for music no matter what – even in the hardest conditions. The difference between me and many others is that they make music in their free time, but I make time for music. That mindset changes everything.
How do you make music during a war?
It’s not about ignoring reality – it’s about transforming it. When you live in a place where sirens can interrupt your day at any moment, every second of silence is precious. I take that urgency, that raw emotion, and I put it straight into my tracks. In a way, the chaos outside fuels the clarity inside the music. It’s my way of turning fear into rhythm, and tension into groove.
In 15 years, when you’re already a huge artist, who would you thank first?
The Forum Club – the club with the biggest passion for parties in the world. Managed by Einav Schwartz, and the place where Din Harrari and Dan Label gave me my very first opportunity. My thanks go to these three people for believing in me and supporting me, even through the toughest times of war in southern Israel.
