My real name is Ilan and i'm a 41 years old dj & music lover from Israel. 
I'm spinning a variety of genres from Soul, Disco & Funk to Balearic, House music and Techno (I do dig the more atmospheric/melodic techno) 
I grew up on trance music, so my passion to Trance classics is far from being a secret

I've been playing in most of the known clubs in Israel from The Block, Bootleg, Beit Maariv to Pergamon in Jerusalem & Forum Club in Be'er Sheva alongside various respected acts like Jonas Kopp, Tornado Wallace, Charlotte De Witte, Camea, Upercent, Meggy, Mathias Scober and many more.

On an international level I had the pleasure to play in Netherlands and in Berlin in a few locations including About Blank, Rummels Bucht and Ritter Butzke.

Showing very early his endless love for music and growing as a talented child with an absolute pitch ear, he started to play piano at age of 5 and received his early musical education and performance skills in classical piano.  

 A serious melomane, a freak of vinyl shops, he spent most of his teenage period digging, collecting and recording music from any available source. A boy with headphones in his ears, he started to make his first 90 min mixes for friends' parties on tape cassettes, using simple methods of home tape recordings. 

Always being a real fanatic of intelligent, underground genres like  psychedelic and progressive rock, funky & acid jazz, early dark new wave and ethnic fusion, he found out for himself electronic music in early 90-s, listening to Jean Michele Jarre,  The Orb and Kraftwerk and later on to R.Miles, St. Germain and Kruder & Dorfmeister. 
 
 An everlasting fan and a geek follower of contemporary, electronic underground genres, he  constantly digs the innovative, intelligent and eclectic sound for his sets and production projects.
 Studied electronic production and sound synthesis in BPM school in Tel-Aviv. and took private master classes from the best electronic producers in Israel. 

He has been playing in clubs, dance bars and outdoor events all over Israel since 2004 and has become publicly known for his unique musical taste, intelligent and deeply pumping sets, harmonic mixing techniques, combining various genres into one long dancing composition.      

Under his scene name Sapiens, he has produced deep progressive and melodic tech house music since 2006 and has established since then several electronic dance lines: Miniprog Sessions, Urban Deepsters and DeepSpeeD  

Has a Deep side project Sharp Ear, and he is a resident DJ at various famous worldwide radio shows such as Groundworx sesseion on Siren 107.3 FM  (UK), Golden Wings (Argentina), Triplefire music (South Africa/UK) and Proton Radio (CA, USA) 

 A resident of  several outdoor production crews (Amnesia, Phase,  etc.) 
 
Releases his tracks on Pangea Recordings, ICONYC, Stellar Fountain, Baroque, Particles to name a few. 
 
Everything that attracts Sapiens' Sharp ear, be it classic music, singing birds or urban noises on his roof has its own influence on his compositions. 

Lives in Tel-Aviv and works in his own studio.

Desert Dwellers is a pioneering electronic music project that bridges the ancient and the future, fusing deep bass, world instrumentation, and psychedelic textures into immersive sonic journeys. Founded in 1999 by Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, the project grew out of the legendary Moontribe gatherings in the deserts of Southern California and Santa Fe, New Mexicos desert rave scene. 

Blending influences from many genres, Desert Dwellers has released dozens of albums and remixes, toured across five continents, and collaborated with an eclectic array of artists from around the world. Their music has graced stages at Symbiosis, Ozora, Lightning in a Bottle, Boom, Envision, Shambhala, and Burning Man, resonating with audiences through both meditative journeys and powerful dancefloor experiences.

In 2026, Desert Dwellers will enter its most significant evolution yet. Co-founder Amani Friend will be stepping away from touring to focus on studio production and other creative pursuits, while a new collaborator joined the project, acclaimed producer and mixing/mastering engineer Sarkis Mikael. While continuing to honor the project’s signature sound and ethos “Music Beyond Borders,” Desert Dwellers is now expanding into bold new sonic territories. Sarkis, with releases on respected labels like Sol Selectas, Saisons, and Hoomidaas, brings a fresh creative spark and deep musical integrity.
