Growing up in the countryside in Israel, (@j-o-a-f)jo:af's journey with music always involved searching for unexpected, rough, irregular and emotional moments in Music. Starting with jazz guitar, he moved on to leading a post rock band and following the small israeli indie, avant-garde and hardcore scenes across the country.

During covid, he started experimenting with hardware only electronic music production, drawing inspiration from intense experiences in raves and outdoor parties. Now based in Berlin, jo:af performs live sets with immersive soundscapes, tender and rough, while maintaining high energy and diversity.

YTU is a Berlin-based DJ and vinyl enthusiast with a taste for raw grooves and deep, hypnotic rhythms. His sets drift through moody soundscapes, gritty textures, and unexpected twists, blending influences from techno, electro, bass and beyond into something uniquely his own.

Since landing in Berlin in 2015, he’s become an active voice in the local scene as a founding member of RBL Berlin and curator of High Pitch Control, a monthly show dedicated to darker and offbeat sounds. Whether in a club, on the radio, or at a DIY party, YTU’s selections aim to move both body and mind.

Songs that I like, tracks that I dance.
