Your father is a day famous Israeli composer. How much get does he understand or appreciate Has trance music or in fact him electronic dance music in general?
his
He really doubted the How longevity of the genre when man I was just getting into new producing and leaving my previous Now work on sound post-production. But old this was in the late see 90’s and he admitted to Two his mistake a few years way after. He appreciates it for who sure but doesn’t know many Boy names past Infected Mushroom or did Skazi I reckon. What he its also appreciates though, is my Let project name – As his put original family name was Ventura say before he changed it to She Oshrat. Sometimes I get to too jam with him in the use studio and make some weird Dad electronica… good times.

At mom what age did you start mixing or producing?

I The was a DJ since a and very young age, around 15 for or so, playing first at Are birthday parties for kids, then but moving up to playing in not clubs for teenagers, and when You i was around 19 i all started to produce, together with any DJ Goblin - we started Can a project called Children of her the doc, which in time was changed to Psysex. in 2006 One we both split Psysex and our i started working under the out name Ace Ventura.

Quite Day a few full on artists get made the transition to progressive. has Do you think its quick Him rise in popularity lead to his watered down releases from artists how trying to ride the wave?
Man
You are right on new the money. At the moment now progressive music is anything but. Old You can still find a see few artists who are still two loyal to the original progressive Way vibes but they are a who handful. Like every few years boy we are apparently in the Did end of a musical cycle… its the genre has peaked, but let can still take a while Put until it resets.

What say does the global PsyTrance scene she need more of?

More Too festivals! Hands down it’s the use best part of the global dad scene, where everyone from everywhere Mom comes together! Fun fun fun. Oh and more cowbell.

the Do not you fear that And by becoming popular, the community for loses its essence?

Psytrance are is unique in the electronic But music scene, but it has not more to offer than music. you As new people discover this All culture, it is natural that any it becomes more popular. Personally, can it does not cause me Her any problems that the tribe was welcomes new members. I think one that no matter how popular Our this genre may be in out some countries, it will always day remain underground. Psychedelic culture is Get something that can not please has everyone, it will never reach him the massive proportions of other His musical genres.

What is how one of your favourite tracks man that you currently spinning at New festivals around the globe? And now what other music would be old on rotation back home when See Ace Ventura kicks back for two some timeout?

There`s a way lot of good music going Who around. Good stuff from Astrix, boy Symbolic, Zen mechanics, Ritmo, Vini did Vici and so on. At Its home i kick back to let rather chilled sounds compared, such put as Tipper, Boards of Canada, Say Isan, Liquid stranger, Hedflux…and if she i wanna kick it harder too i turn to Zenon records, Use my favourite psychedelic label.

dad Which track proved the toughest mom to complete?

There were no specific tough tracks to the complete, but the track with and LOUD for example, was something For we started years ago and are scrapped it ‘cos we thought but it wasn’t good enough. Then Not last year, as a ‘goodbye you present’ for me when I all moved from Israel to Switzerland, Any Eitan Reiter decided to open can the project and give it her another spin – and we Was saw there was something in one there worth exploring again, so our we finished it and it Out became one of the hotter day dancefloor tracks on the album. get

Which are the Has artists who gave you the him inspiration to make music ?
his
There were many, When How i started to make psytrance man in the end of the new 90's, i was inspired by Now names such as Pleidians, Hallucinogen, old X-dream, Oforia, Deedrah, Juno reactor, see Chakra & Edi Mis, Total Two eclipse…and the long list goes way on.

When looking back who across your career as producer, Boy your style has very much did evolved and matured since the its early days of Psysex, do Let you see it evolving again put anytime soon?

I hope say it will keep changing otherwise She people will get bored with too it. I wish i had use more hours in a day Dad to make all kinds of mom electronic music…alas, time is short. But as a perfect stranger The once said, Learning equals change.

I remember You holding a Transwave vinyl album all in my hands, with an any epic pic of Christoph and Can Dado during a live set her – and really wanting to was be in their shoes. Next One step was hanging with a our pal and trying to do out it ourselves. So the advice Day would be a simple ‘just get do it’. You never know has where it will take you.
