Moshic Aka Argonout
MoshicDaSilva
Moshic is a globally renowned electronic music artist best known for his deep, dark, melodic, and emotional approach to progressive house. With a career spanning over two decades and more than 500 original releases, he continues to receive strong support from industry legends like Pete Tong, John Digweed, Solomun, Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire (Deep Dish), Sasha, Hernán Cattáneo, and many more. His latest tracks were recently featured by the mighty John Digweed on Bedrock Records, and he also received a special Remix from his close friend and fellow Israeli luminary Guy J, highlighting Moshic’s enduring influence and respect within the scene.
Born into a family of musicians, Moshic was surrounded by creativity from an early age. However, his musical path was deeply shaped by his time serving as a medic in the Israeli National Service at age 18—an experience that brought him face-to-face with the fragility of life and instilled in him a sense of emotional depth that would later permeate his music.
After his service, he dedicated himself entirely to electronic music—specifically progressive house, which was still under-recognized in Israel. Despite early pushback for his “dark” style, a bold move to New York City became a turning point. The city’s vibrant underground scene allowed him to fully express his vision and connect with global artists.
Moshic began releasing music under the alias Argonout, with early singles signed to the legendary Dutch label Cyber Records. One of Moshic’s first releases under his own name was the track “Nightstalker,” which quickly became an underground anthem and gained widespread recognition, featured in top compilations and praised by DJ Magazine. In a major milestone, the entire Argonout project catalog was later purchased by Armin van Buuren’s label, Armada Music, confirming its importance in progressive music history.
Building on that momentum, Moshic released the landmark compilation "Distorted Patterns," which featured top Middle Eastern talent and showcased his curatorial skills. His Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, invited and hosted by Pete Tong, became legendary—marking him as the first Israeli artist ever featured on the show. Tong praised him as “the best Israeli thing since falafel.”
Moshic’s sound is instantly recognizable—dark, melodic, hypnotic, cinematic, and infused with subtle Middle Eastern textures. Avoiding commercial trends and easy samples, his productions are built from the ground up with emotional precision and an uncompromising vision.
With his independent label Contrast Records, Moshic provides a home for his distinct sound and a platform for rising artists who share his love for deep, boundary-pushing progressive house.
He has toured extensively around the world, released on top labels, and has been recognized three times in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs. In 2003, he won two MTV Israel Awards: Best Underground Release and Best Producer.
From Tel Aviv to Tokyo, Buenos Aires to Berlin, Moshic’s sound continues to move dancefloors, inspire producers, and remind the world that authenticity and depth will always stand the test of time.

John 00 Fleming is an electronic DJ and producer who has achieved international success in a career spanning over three decades, all without ever compromising his musical essence or the trust of his fans. Known for his deep knowledge of music, he is a proven pioneer and a leader recognised for his hypnotic style and unwavering integrity. Respected equally by peers and audiences worldwide, John has carved a unique path by staying true to his vision rather than chasing trends.

His legendary extended DJ sets — sometimes stretching eight hours or more — have become benchmarks of immersive storytelling on the dance floor. These marathon journeys have built a devoted cult following at clubs and festivals, establishing annual gatherings around the world where audiences return for the experience only he can deliver.

John’s career began at the age of 15, playing a role in the exploding UK rave scene, which led to multiple residencies in the country’s formative club circuit and eventually to performances on some of the world’s most respected stages, including BOOM Festival, EDC, Tomorrowland, Ozora Festival, Creamfields, Own Spirit Festival, and countless underground institutions across the globe. With multiple Gold disc mix compilation accolades and millions of streams to his name, he has also delivered acclaimed Essential Mixes for BBC Radio 1 and earned the rare distinction of bridging the commercial and underground worlds without compromise.

As a producer, John’s esteem within the industry has drawn respect from electronic luminaries such as Jean-Michel Jarre and Muse. While he accepts peer endorsements humbly, he continues to let his production skills speak for themselves. With five electronic artist albums and an extensive discography of singles, John also finds time to compose for major film and television networks, including projects with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London.
As head of JOOF Recordings, he has built the label into a trusted home for forward-thinking artists, nurturing a global community united by quality-driven electronic music.

Whether behind the decks, in the studio, or guiding others, John’s reputation rests on consistency, honesty, and artistry. In an industry often driven by hype, he has remained grounded, letting the music speak — and that is why audiences and fellow artists alike continue to hold him in such high regard.

Taking inspiration from trip hop, ambient music, and lush 80's synth driven pop, this Melbourne duo has been busily crafting slices of indie electronica since forming in early 2019.  

With Kim McInnes delivering restrained yet seductive vocals, and Chops taking care of instruments / production duties, their unique sound is showcased across their two launch singles.  "Tears of Gold" is an understated piece of electro-pop, best enjoyed driving along a highway with the top down.  The follow-up single "The Longest Wave" reflects DUST's more moody alter-ego, with graceful vocals building to a triumphant finish.

With an EP in the works for 2019, this DUST will never settle.
