What inspired you to first start making music? And how did you come to be in your current incarnation? Or if you prefer, a brief bio about you.
I’m Adam from Israel and i’ve been making music for a while. I started my music career creating only psytrance. like. just. psytrance. in hindsight, as a young artist i looked for a place i could belong, a scene. i got so carried away and obsessed with being part of a scene that i felt i lost my own identity.
about a year ago, give or take, i found myself once again. i would lie if id say it was easy, it kinda felt like burying my old self and becoming a new person.
now i make music just for the sake of making music. not trying to impress anyone but myself.
its liberating. i feel like i can enjoy life so much more this way.
Provide us with some info about your latest release…
I’ve recently released my debut album ’SUPERNOVA’ and i’m super excited about it! I feel like it wraps up what i’ve been through and my experience of the last year. its my rebirth 🙂
i feel like the album has a plot and purpose, its one of those albums u should hear from start to end. kinda like a short ear movie.
Which ones would you consider your main influences both music-wise & non-music-wise?
Musical influences would be Daft Punk, Justice, Deadmau5, Air, The Doors, Pink Floyd Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers. im super basic hehe. i pretty much love anything coming from France except antisemitism hehe. love M.C Escher, love Terry Gilliam. love getting to know and learning new things. i feel like everything i see feel hear taste notice or learn all get boiled down in to my personal bucket of fender bender sauce. the sauce is the secret.
In what way does your sound differ from the rest genre-related artists/bands and why should we listen to your music? In other words, how would you describe your sound?
A good friend of mine said i sound like Justice and Fatboy Slim having an orgy. and i kinda agree.
im still evolving and learning as an artist, but remember the sauce from the last question? I sound like the sauce.
Please name your 3 desert islands albums, movies & books
Justice – Woman
Daft Punk – Alive 2007
Mat Zo – Self Assemble
and i’d hide a copy of my own album and dark side in case there is any weed on that said island of yours.
im not a big movie re-watcher but id take
Spirited Away
Pulp Fiction
replacing one film with a youtube video and it would be this one
its embarrassing but tbh i haven’t read a lot of book books lately, but im a casual smartphone reader

the art of war.pdf
the war of art.pdf
how to get off a desert island in case you are stuck, the complete manual.pdf.
Do you prefer studio or performing live and why?
For my new stuff, as of now, i prefer the studio work. it has been so much fun.
I have started working on creating a live version of my new stuff so i can be on stage and actually preform my music. as part of my psytrance career i was lucky enough to be flown around and play some sets around the world, it was amazing but i wasn’t confident enough to actually try live things.
now with some practice and newly found confidence, i hope i get a chance to play my new music live around the world. hopefully next time u ask ill say both studio and live 😉
Is there any funny-unique story you would like to share with us, always in relation to your music ‘career’?
im playing a set at the beach. im playing a voodoo people remix. some girl runs up to me saying thanks for the Nostalgia, while she does she’s leaning in onto this little bamboo fence between the dance floor and the dj and falls over face in the sand. and i was filming the set. i watched that part a gazillion times. funny af. a week goes by and i go to the same beach (but different party) to play another set. im playing the same voodoo people remix (remixed by myself & Deror) and everyone is having fun. i get home and look at the footage from the party and i notice a woman standing ,kinda in the back stage, starting to wobble and then falls over face forward in the sand. good times.
Which track of your own would you point out as the most unique and why?
I think i’d say ‘Exodus’ (from my album) – i feel like it hits the nail on the head with it’s feel.
it has a memorial day vibe to it. a reminder that bad things are part of our life, shit happens. but we have to keep on going. never stop baby.
Would you like to share with our readers your future plans?
I have my first HipHop release coming out next! its a collaboration with two good friends, KLVZ, who have decided to pick up the mic and record a track with me for the very first time. they are fire and are up to no good, and i mean it in the best way possible.
i know i said hiphop but i mean my take on hiphop, i dunno. just check it out when its out. ok?
Free question!!! (Ask yourself a question) you wish to answer and haven’t been given the opportunity…

u should go listen to the album and get connected with me on any social media u like
