This Breaking Bad tribute, that started as a family joke (for those who don’t know my last name is “Isenberg”) but quickly became an instrumental track for both my DJ and now my live set as well.  After playing it for family and friends for the past year or so, and being asked about it a lot, I’ve decided to release it as a tribute to what was arguably the best series of all times… I hope you enjoy this free download and find a good spot for it in your sets and playlists… 
And now… Say My Name… 😝♥️🙏🏼😘
Much Love

Me and Roderic met at La-Calaca Festival on Day of the Dead 2018. we quickly and naturally connected, jammed together at the festival, and after that went straight to his studio in Mexico city. After a sleepless night, Metamorphosis was born. Two years later, I realized it is not available on Soundcloud, so, we had to fix that (: 
Hope you enjoy...

Playa Venao is one of my favorite places to play music in the whole world, maybe my favorite after Burning Man... 
This opportunity I had to play the soundtrack for one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen, allowed me to be soft, vulnerable and show a different side of myself. 
There was no need to push the vibe, no need to push the tempo, we could all just be together and feel... 
I hope you'll like this side of me, 
Much Love

ITAI - Venao Sunset | September 2021 (El-Sitio, Panama)

Coming to Burning Man for the second time in 2017, I was primarily a saxophone player, not a DJ, not a proceder... 
I used to go art car hopping, bringing my sax along and jamming with whoever was willing. I had especially fun times jamming with DJs. 
On the last morning of that Burn, Monday morning it was, I bumped into two talented DJs playing incredible tracks on one of the best sounding art cars I've ever heard... 
Naturally, I took out the sax, and started jamming on the sandy dance floor in front of them. Soon enough some people gathered around, and I was pulled up to that old looking artistic mutant vehicle and, with the DJs consent I jammed on top as well... 
The morning went on and it started getting hot, it looked like the end was near, and I was somehow back on the playa "dance floor" when a couple people called me up saying "The DJ is looking for you..." I quickly came up and asked "whats up?" He said: I'm gonna play the last track now, and then you play the outro. Excited to share the last moment of that morning, I obviously jumped in, and was honored to play the last notes of that magical morning... 
After that I got to chat with the DJs for a bit, they said their names were Martin & Nico (aka Acid Pauli & Nico Stojan and this was my first introduction to the magical bus called Robot Heart. 
Fast forward 4 years later, we have gone full circle and I finally got the honor to tell my own story on, what is in my opinion, the best stage in the world to play music...
I hope you will enjoy this ride, at least as much as I did... 
Much Love

MoM & ITAI | b2b at Curiosity Bears | October 2022

Some tracks just happen… 

I grew up listening to The Doors, and Riders on the Storm was always one of my favorite tunes of all time. 

During my first experimentations with playing a full live set, I found myself playing this melody on the saxophone, then I looped the harmony and used a baseline from another track called “Darkness” to bring it all together… that’s how “Riders on the Storm” - the instrumental version became a part of my live sets everywhere I go… 

After playing it a bunch, I felt like it deserved a proper production & recording. 

I played around with it a bit, and it just didn’t work for me with the saxophone. I felt the vocals were missing… I tried to use my own voice but that also wasn’t a good enough representation of the song, so finally, I hit up Nachum from @Automatictoys, and the rest is history… 

I hope you enjoy this upbeat version of this classic tune and dance along as I do (: 

Much Love,
ITAI

The Teddy Bear Lounge swings open its metaphorical doors with a first Chapter of the Unfinished Project from ITAI entitled Re-Birth. The unfinished project is a musical series that includes his take on sound from the past year. It isn’t just music, it includes a unique art piece by the artist Hillel Zehnwirth released with each track telling the story of this journey. It also comes out with a visual presentation describing the artistic process of the creation of the music, the art, and the relationship between them. 

ITAI is a world traveler, multi instrumentalist, live artist, and producer who brings global cultures, electronic styles and live skills to his work as well as influences form his childhood in the Middle East. He has climbed high in the Beatport charts with previous releases and released on the likes of Talavera, Abracadabra and more. 

He says of this latest project, "The overall feel is like antique structures and ruins in Greece or Berlin present in nature rather than the city , incorporating both modern and organic elements. The music is open and evolving and has a sunset moving into night type sound, evoking a sense of being in the moment and present in the music. The live version of the “Unfinished Project” project will not have a fixed structure, with live elements like Sax, EWI Piano & more each track sounding different every time it's played live at moments fully improvised." 

Re-Birth (Aka The Pain) is a tripped out synth soundscape with Middle Eastern-style mystic leads hypnotising next to tender piano chords as muffled sounds and voices add atmosphere. A warm mid tempo house groove eventually arrives underneath to lock you in further. It is a song that tells a tale of transformation and new beginnings. The sound of a baby's cry is heard literally in the song, signifying the start of a new life. 

Down By The River is a special track that sneaks up on you slowly with its cinematic sound that resembles a river. It features an EWI flute sound that gives it a village-like feel. It is a superb slow and seductive eight minute deep and dubbed out house crawler. The bass is rich, the chords full of suspense and plenty of smart fills, flutes, heartbroken keys and more flesh things out in majestic style. 

This is a unique new series from a label that is sure to become one to watch.

Unfinished 01.2 - ITAI - Down By The River

ITAI continues his Unfinished Project with an upbeat organic house track called “Hafla in Wancy's World.”

The release comes via ITAI’s record label The Teddy Bear Lounge, but his music has also been released on other respected imprints ranging from The Soul Brothers' Talavera Records to Laroz's Camel Riders.

This release is the 8th instalment of the Unfinished Project where each track is a chapter of an overarching storyline, which will culminate in all the tracks being combined into an album.

Based in America, ITAI is a jazz musician and saxophone player who has focused his musicianship towards electronic music production. He is a talented live performer whose shows use a loop sampler to generate spontaneous tracks that utilise live piano and saxophone melodies, which are mixed with synths and sequenced percussion from a drum machine.

Not only has ITAI travelled the world to play solo live shows, but he has also done collaborative performances with others such as BLOND:ISH.

All of the tracks on the Unfinished Project have a strong concept behind them, and “Hafla in Wancy's World” is influenced by the Hafla parties that are traditional to Arab culture.

Hafla’s are deeply rooted in Moroccan and Middle Eastern heritage where friends and family will often gather in a backyard to sing songs and play instruments together. They started many years ago when some TV and radio restricted the music they would play, which led to people from these repressed parts of the world creating their own music.

Wancy is the name of ITAI’s girlfriend whose vibrant nature and lively personality is well suited to the upbeat energy and welcoming atmosphere of a Hafla party. So, the track is dedicated to her, as she is someone who loves Hafla’s and similar gatherings of friends and family.

“Hafla in Wancy's World” opens with Arabic clarinet melodies as the hypnotic bass synth fills the groove with upbeat energy. Poignant piano chords provide deep emotion while trippy acid synths and psychedelic textures create a mesmerising atmosphere. Accordions, claps and upbeat percussion fill the groove with a joyous party vibe.

Unfinished 01.1 - ITAI - Re-Birth (Aka The Pain)

ITAI is a saxophone player turned electronic music artist, and his new release is an exhilarating melodic house release with cinematic suspense.

Known for his releases on labels such as Laroz's Camel Riders and The Soul Brothers' Talavera Records, ITAI has also played live saxophone as part of collaborative performances with other artists such as BLOND:ISH.

Living in America, ITAI is a well-travelled performer who has played shows all over the world. His shows are a blend of organic instruments, synthesisers and drum machines. He uses a looper to generate spontaneous tunes that utilise piano and saxophone performances.

This release is the 7th chapter of "The Unfinished Project" that ITAI has been releasing via his record label The Teddy Bear Lounge. It's a storytelling series where each release is a chapter in the story, and it will culminate as a collection that will captivate mind, body and soul.

"When It Gets Stormy" is the solo track on this release, and it pays homage to one of ITAI's friends called Stormy. The track also incorporates the unpredictable nature of stormy weather, as it's structured with dramatic builds of energy that create tension on the dance floor.

There is also an operatic element to the song which gives it a cinematic vibe due to how the instruments are used to create moments both tranquil and climactic. Many of the parts were created using the Nord keyboard that is often at the core of ITAI's live sets.

The track opens with ominous pads and filtered pitter-pattering that represents rain, and the arpeggio melody synths swell with modulating tones as the percussion holds a steady groove. Electric guitar chords and an electric violin play contrasting parts that represent the intertwined emotions of the opera's lead characters, and the organic textures of the percussion create an uplifting flow of energy.

I've been a big fan of RuPaul's Drag Race for awhile now, and I've always wanted to make an edit for "Bring Back My Girls" to play in my sets...

RuPaul has been a revolutionary figure in the drag industry, bringing it to the forefront of popular culture. RuPaul has normalized and popularized drag, making it more accessible to the masses and also a big inspiration for me in my own sex positive and queer journey... 

My whole intention with this edit was not to change that much but more so adjust it to the dance floors that I like to play music for and dance in. Today I release it as a free download with the hopes that you enjoy playing it to your friends and dancing to it as well...

Step into the vibrant world of ITAI's Unfinished Project with Chapter 02 "The Real Matador," released on The Teddy Bear Lounge. As part of this groundbreaking musical endeavor, ITAI presents a series of monthly chapters throughout the year, akin to a captivating TV series. This project defies conventional structures, delivering a raw and authentic experience that evolves with every live performance.

"The Real Matador" embodies the essence of flamenco music, paying homage to its fiery and passionate nature. Drawing inspiration from ITAI's first album, "Flame of Pinecone," this track weaves together Spanish guitars, intense dance rhythms, and the artist's signature jazz-infused style. ITAI's remarkable production prowess shines through, creating a track of exceptional quality.

Milo Gonzalez's live guitar playing adds an authentic touch, while Yemanjo’s trumpet and ITAI's own soprano saxophone and harmonizing vocals bringing an enchanting depth to the composition. Notably, "The Real Matador" marks ITAI's vocal debut, showcasing his versatile talents and further expanding his artistic repertoire.

The overall ambiance of ITAI's Unfinished project is both modern and organic, reminiscent of ancient ruins in Greece or Berlin. It bridges the gap between Berlin's electronic influences and ITAI's live instrumentation, resulting in a beat-heavy and slightly more club-oriented sound. Imagine being immersed in the moment, as the music effortlessly transitions from a sunset setting to a night of rhythmic revelry.

"The Real Matador" encapsulates the spirit of a true matador, emphasizing the dance rather than the fight. It symbolizes the power and passion of a dancer, bringing together diverse musical elements to create a mesmerizing experience. ITAI's commitment to creating an open and evolving soundscape mirrors the essence of this project. Each track, like an improvisation, offers a unique experience, embracing the rawness and authenticity of the music.

Prepare to be transported to a realm where antique structures meet modern beats, where openness reigns, and where music takes on an unfinished yet captivating form. ITAI's Unfinished project promises to captivate audiences, leaving them yearning for more as they become part of a musical journey like no other.

Unfinished 02 - ITAI - The Real Matador

ITAI is back on The Teddy Bear Lounge with "Unfinished 03 - Stüff" (pronounced SHTOOF), one of the standout tracks on the Unfinished Project series. He is a multi instrumentalist, live artist and a Beatport chart climber who grew up in the middle east and always brings fresh influences to his music.

"Stüff" is a jazzy and complex piece that stands out from the more traditional techno tracks on the series. The melody sounds deceptively simple at first, but as the chords are added, the song takes on a more intricate and advanced jazz sound. It makes use of various instruments such as the saxophone and live percussion and builds steadily with the tension growing until it reaches a climactic drop that transitions into a completely different ending.

"Stüff" is a two-part story, with the first part building on the jazzy sounds and leading up to the explosive drop. The second part of the track takes a different turn, introducing a new melody that evokes images of floating on water and stillness. The outro is tense and weird, with the sounds building and then exploding, creating a sense of release and resolution.

Overall, Unfinished 03 - Stüff is a unique and dynamic addition to the project, showcasing the artist's range and versatility.

Unfinished 03 - ITAI - Stüff

ITAI is back with the fourth chapter of his Unfinished series, Don't Forget About The Funk on The Teddy Bear Lounge. This artist is a multi instrumentalist, live artist and a Beatport chart climber who grew up in the middle east and always brings fresh influences to his music. This tune is a tribute to the funk genre with a modern twist and elements of blues and rock and roll but with a real focus on the dance floor. It has a weird twist to it like much funk music does. 

This richly layered tune pays homage to the innovative jazz of Maceo Parker with rich layers of arps and Nord synths that wash over you like waves of cosmic joy. The beats are catchy and the chords are full of soul. 

This is another standout tune from ITAI and what is proving to be a highly impactful series.

Unfinished 04 - ITAI - Don't Forget About The Funk

ITAI continues his Unfinished series with a fifth chapter on The Teddy Bear Lounge.

This track was actually the first he made for this project and started from a simple baseline idea. In this addition ITAI takes on a new style that draws on disco and indie with ITAI on keys and sax and inspiration taken from the likes of Red Axes, Blue Shadow and more, all with slow and seductive tempos.

Unfinished 05 - Disco??? is full of lush synth work that has real meaning. The drums are mid tempo and inviting, piano chords bring melancholy and the distant acid lines take your attention. It's a full body workout with a unique sense of soul and stunning sax lines to bring the romance. 

This is another standout cut from ITAI with all new influences.

Unfinished 05 - ITAI - Disco???

Deer Friends... 

My intention was to share this live set (this is the first time I’m posting a full live set of mine), that was dedicated to my mother, “Tsvia”, which means "deer" in Hebrew. I wanted to tell so many stories, about my relationship with Maxa, my mother, Burning Man 2023 & more. 
However the events of this week were a big twist in the plot. 

I went back and forth about posting this set at this time, maybe hoping to share it on a more positive note... And then at the same time especially now, if I can borrow your ears and maybe your heart for a couple hours,  take you away from craziness of this world and back to the dusty Playa. Then let that be my mission in these unprecedented times... 

Now, more than ever
lets stay connected... 

Much Love

ITAI (LIVE) - Maxa - Burning Man 2023

Inspired by the hot climates and Latino culture, Speedy Gonzales has a sun-drenched sound that warms up the dance floor with its upbeat rhythms.

It's a downtempo track, but the flowing percussion and flamenco style guitars fill the groove with offbeat energy that creates a feel-good vibe. ITAI has road-tested different versions of the track in his live performances, and every time the crowd has gone wild with excitement.

Speedy Gonzales opens with a funky bassline and vibrant percussion augmented with whistles and vocal chants.

KÖNI - Indian Resurrection (ITAI Remix) - PAP073 - Pipe & Pochet

* This set is composed solely from my original productions (originals, collaborations, remixes and edits) and is performed live. *

I started performing my live set about 2 years ago,
and it has been quite the journey.

For me, a whole new world has opened up: 
More challenging, yet more exciting...
More personal, therefore more vulnerable...
More improvised and also leaves more room for “errors”...

After almost two years of playing almost only live, I played at @la_pizzinetulum . This was, from my experience, the most expansive, diverse and interesting set I've ever played. And the crowed there, true music lovers, were there for the whole ride...  

Sometimes, after a night like this, I listen to the recoding and some things are off, but this time, I feel like this set can represents me.
I hope you'll enjoy this 3 hour live journey at least as much as I did...

Also, I want to thank some live-set pioneers, who helped me figure out this world (if in person, zoom call, or creeping up behind you on stage: 
@be_svendsen @eduardocastilllo @satorimusica @monolinkmusic @rampue @sebastianmullaert @borauzer wether you know it or not, you have been a massive inspiration for me

Alvaro Suarez & ITAI (Live) @ Bubbles & Bass - Burning Man 2018

“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”

― Kiersten White, The Chaos of Stars

This track has an ongoing story, and this is it's second chapter of it.
Originated by a very special man, asking us to make a very special tune, to a very special woman to celebrate their love... 
On the original version, we used that special mans vocals, and it became very personal and unique, that way it will be kept for eternity...
However we felt this music needs to be released to the world, so we started working on the acoustic version and we fell in love with this tune. Before this tune was complete, I left to Burning Man, where I was exposed (as usual) to so much beauty, especially by this breath taking art piece called "In Every Life Time I Will Find You" 
which I also had the privilege to play music to at the burn.
Coming back from the burn, it just clicked: this is the name of the song, and we need to "hurry up" finish it, and send it out to the world.
And so, with lots of love and hope you'll like it, we release "our" track as a free download, which means, It's yours now too...
We hope this track moves you, as much as it did us
Much Love

This set is probably my favorite of all times so far...
It has my softer sides, and my rough and aggressive expressions, it has a bunch of originals, collaborations, and many tracks I got from friends in the past year.
It's also a sum of my first year as a DJ, As I'm still learning how to adapt the live Saxophone into my sets, being sensitive to the original intention of the creator, but also adding my own interpretation. 
I should point out that the Allen & Heath mixer I was using didn't record the sax channel so I had to go back and record sax separately, but I think, that as a whole, it tells the story. 
The story of that rainy day in Habitas Tulum that turned into a party, and of my exploration of sound in 2018. 
Thank you for listening and for being there for me 
Much Love

This morning meant so much to me on so many levels... 
This musical wave, is only one piece out of many, that came together on that magical Friday morning deep deep Deep Playa... 
This couldn't come a reality without so many dedicated people, artists, supporters, camp members who walked and drove sparky out and back, builders, dancers, and more. 
If I start naming them, it will take up all the page space... 
I can only hope I have deserved your trust & support, and was able to give back at least to some extent with these moments, memories, and magic that I am a humble vessel for... 
Thank all of you so so so much 
Love you all

ITAI (Live)- Sparky @ The Positive Reactor - Burning Man 2019

It's hard to explain a sunrise set to someone that wasn't there... 
It starts at nighttime, everything is dark, the energies are intense.
Then it slowly starts to become lighter, the sun peeks out, energies are soft and delicate.
And then it's daytime, party is on, celebration is there... 

I hope you can join this journey with me, and get into the sensations of what we all felt was, for that moment in time, our own little secret... 
Served with love...

ITAI (Live) - Axolotl (Sunrise Set) - Burning Man 2019

Me and Ori Dekel go way back... 
We played "Jazz" together for year, and were always both drawn to the Middle Eastern sounds and the polyrhythmic beats 
Ori wrote this track a while ago and we used to play it live at "jazz" gigs. 
Now, all it needed was a little twist kick and a push in order to fit todays dance floor. 
I think that now it does... 
Hope you enjoy this free download and dance along as much as I do 
Hope you are all staying healthy and safe 
Much Love

Ori Dekel - Hush Hash - (ITAI Saxophone Edit)

My journeys had lead me to believe that people from the Middle East are actually closer to each other than they would like to imagine... 
On my travels, my natural connections to people from Iran or Palestine  was so much easier and more natural than the connection to Americans or Canadians, we have way more in common... 
This led me to believe we can connect through music where there are no borders or need of politicians... 
Corona outbreak, has expedited this process and made the world truly borderless... with artists friends from Egypt, Jordan, Israel and Palestine Kuwait Dubai and more, we have form the Mediterranean Salad... 
And this is my first set I have ever played for this project... 

About Mediterranean Salad: 
Who are we?
A collective of artists, musicians and visionaries who have come together to see what a Mediterranean salad can look like if each ingredient came from a different country around the hinder sea, an ancient name for the med.. But since we are not cooks, we decided to make our “Salad” as online adventures exploring art, music, workshops, conversations and the worlds beyond from across countries around the Mediterranean body of water and friends.

What is our mission?
Our mission is to connect, support and build spaces for co-creation between artists, musicians and visionaries from across the Mediterranean countries and beyond.

"The story of “Falafel” goes through many countries, continents and families. It actually starts in Israel, where I used to play a Jazz gig for almost 4 years. One day my good friend (and amazing musician) Ori Dekel came up with a Middle Eastern jazz tune and called it Falafel.
I immediately fell in love with this tune and used to play it acoustically in Jazz gigs all over the country and the world.

When I was moving into the electronic music world, I wanted to infuse those sounds into my “live-electronic” hybrid shows, but it needed a twist, to fit the dance floors.
I shortened and adjusted the melody, and asked my musician friends from around the world to record the melody and their own interpretation for a solo, each with their own instruments. That way we had percussion, piano (Ori Dekel) and vocals (Noe Ben Shusan) from Israel, guitars (Rafi Levi) from LA, a trumpet (Aquiles Navarro) from Panama and so much more. I blended the sounds with the help of my good friend DJ Knoe1 and just put it out there independently.

I played Falafel for over 3 years on almost any possible dance floor (even weddings and Bat Mitzvahs) and it never failed me once! However as my sound evolved, I felt the track needed some touch and a proper release with the right label.
That was when , I made a new friend, Berge Sahakian aka Goldcap. Berge fell in love with Falafel on the spot and was the first to start playing it at his gigs around the globe. So when The Soul Brothers approached me to sign this track on Talavera Records, it was only natural for it to come out as a 3 track EP from all the above.
With the Jewish and Arab sounds of the Middle East, and the Latin flair of the Mexican due??? We can only hope this isn’t too spicy for you!"

ֿITAI - Falafel (Original Mix) - [Talavera]

This set is very different than my usual sound, also it has been a while... 
We all missed the burn this year, and at the same time the lack of one central experience bringing us all together, created an opportunity to connect in a deeper more intimate (and safe) way... 
The crew off Rapture and some other friends asked me to play at sunrise for their mini-burn gathering at Mt. Zion. It was the morning after "Disco Night" and I was very curious about finding sounds to connect with that theme and at the same time, I don't play "Disco", so I went digging for what Disco could sound today, and what electronic funky beats might sound like... I ended up with this: 
This is my interpretation of how Disco could sound in today, during an emotional sunrise, for a small group of magical humans.
I hope you enjoy the ride 
Much Love
