TimeWarp (2022 Edit) [Bonus Track]

I've been acquainted with Maor from Skizologic since the early 2010s, though not personally. He was part of a crew that organized weekly events in Tel Aviv under the name Klika of Happiness, along with occasional outdoor parties. After my move to California and toward the end of the 2010s, I discovered he was producing Psy Trance with a strong passion for Analog equipment. He started sending me some tunes that were an exciting blend of old-school Goa sound and modern Psy Trance, sounding incredibly fresh.

Given the preference for faster music in my local scene, I found myself incorporating more of Maor's tracks into my sets. Gradually, I became a fan of his work. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Maor reached out to me, mentioning he had a project he was stuck with and asked if I wanted to take a look. That's how we began collaborating on 'Heartbeat', crafting a massive groover that was funky and energizing on the dance floor. Working with Maor was a fantastic experience, and I'm confident it won't be the last time we collaborate on a track together.

& Skizologic - Heartbeat (Original Mix)

'Koltun' stands as a fascinating chapter in the story of Perfect Stranger's album, "Broadcasting & Receiving." Originating around 2010-2011, 'Koltun,' Russian for "Hair Knot," was initially a tribute to Guess Who's 'Song.' However, creating a composition with multiple key changes and count shifts proved ambitious given dancefloor demands. To make it more manageable, I retained the bassline groove and key changes, omitting the original samples for its debut.

In the autumn of 2022, while attending Ziohm Festival in Brazil, a melody in Captain Hook's set jogged my memory. At first, I couldn't locate what it reminded me of but eventually, it came to me that It resembled good old 'Koltun.' Upon this realization, I decided to revive the track, modernizing its sound while retaining its essence. Initially intended for live performances, the rejuvenated version evolved over time. I incorporated elements like an Egyptian band and a violin solo, accompanied by vocal fragments and singing. I also experimented with increasing the tempo, making it adaptable for Perfect Stranger sets. However, the vocal accompaniment was eventually removed, and the composition underwent refinements, including a dynamic snare roll.

"Manifestation" stands out due to its recognizable elements: the infectious "Right Here, Right Now" sample, memorable melodies, and a repeating four-time 1-semitone note progression spanning 8 minutes. Unlike other well-known tracks in my Perfectly Strange discography, which have undergone multiple remixes, "Manifestation" had been reimagined only once by the duo Shanti & Deedrah. Although their version was commendable, my attachment remained with the original. This conviction led me to propose revitalizing the track to Liran Elkayam aka Sphera.

Our collaboration began in the summer of 2020, during a time when artists were primarily confined to their studios. After sharing the remix files, we encountered a creative block—a common challenge in the artistic process. Identifying and removing the problematic element, in our case, a bass pattern, proved crucial. The breakthrough came when I suggested transforming the ascending lead pattern into the bassline, an unconventional move in Psy Trance. Liran executed this idea impeccably, infusing new life into our work.

Yet, a feeling of incompleteness persisted. Liran introduced a transformative transposition of the bassline, inspired by a sample speech. This innovation elevated "Manifestation" from a good remix to an artistic statement, embracing elements of Acid House, psychedelic allure, moans, piano stabs, quirky riffs, synth growls, and a persistent groove. The piece concluded with the resonant Manifestation speech, culminating in the iconic "Right Here, Right Now." Thus, another piece of "Visionary Trance" came into existence.

Manifestation (Perfect Stranger & Sphera Remix)

In my creative journey as a producer, my fascination with unconventional sounds remains constant. I'm captivated by peculiar noise sequences and odd sonic phenomena that, when listened to carefully, craft their own narratives, forming organic grooves and unexpected melodies. My composition, "In The Creek," is a testament to this approach, with 90% of its foundation built on these enigmatic sonic explorations.

My music creation approach might be termed "sloppy," but for me, it is not necessarily a negative situation. I find joy in the raw, unrefined edges of my productions. I embrace the idea of elements slightly off the rhythmic grid, creating polyrhythms that infuse dancefloor experiences with delightful spontaneity. However, there's a delicate balance; too much can lead to chaos. Crafting a coherent piece from diverse noises requires meticulous attention, ensuring each component propels the track forward while maintaining cohesion. This contrasts with crafting melodic pieces rooted in discernible themes.

In The Creek (Original Mix)

I started working on this track in May 2019, amidst a creatively challenging phase in my life. Balancing parenthood and frequent international gigs left me overwhelmed, questioning my musical abilities compared to my past work like the Free Cloud album from 2007. The project faced hiatuses, notably during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, but was finally completed in September 2021. During this time, I revamped my studio setup, transitioning to new speakers from Amphion, a process that took years to fully refine.

The track's inspiration stemmed from a blend of emotions, including a desire to prove my creative prowess after a solo track hiatus since 2014. Using Arturia's Buchla synth emulation for the track's bassline, even though it is known for its instability, infused the composition with an unpredictable energy. In 2020, I crafted the track, integrating a poignant speech from Abraham Hicks, which defined the piece as what I call "Inspiring/Visionary Progressive Trance." This sample, discovered during my wife's kitchen sessions, marked the inception of the track's journey within my album, "Broadcasting & Receiving."

Broadcasting & Receiving (Original Mix)

'The Door Part II' stands out as one of the more "ancient" compositions in the collection, tracing back to the year 1999. This saga began when BLT, a young producer immersed in Goa, Psy, and Progressive sounds, collaborated with DJ Nadi to create 'Space Boogie.' A snippet from a random film, capturing the resolute act of locking a door, was ingeniously incorporated into the composition, adding a unique rhythmic element. However, the track left a lingering feeling of incompleteness, a common sentiment among music producers driven by the pursuit of perfection.

Fast forward to 2015, I contemplated revisiting this old BLT composition. Despite having only a few audio samples and the rest in MIDI format, I embarked on the challenging task of recreating the track from scratch. Initially envisioning a Yuli Fershtat tech track, the project faced setbacks and was shelved. Amid the challenges of the pandemic, I abandoned my tech-inspired approach and elevated 'The Door Part II' to its current status. The creative process, not exclusive to the album, turned out to be one of my most demanding endeavors. My unwavering belief that every project deserves resolution guided me through this intricate construction, a principle that transcends time constraints.

The story of 'The Door' endures, spanning 24 years, representing the act of locking and unlocking. Its repetitive motif, symbolizing this action, maintains a sense of novelty despite its enduring nature – a phenomenon both refreshing and occasionally frustrating in its persistence.

"Bitmonx & Fabio - Erdbeer Kiwi", was one of the first tracks that got me into Iboga Records' sound in 2000. It was Minimal, Psychedelic, Hypnotic, and sounded like nothing else at that time. I closed a circle and remixed it together with my mate DJ Wasabi and it was released on Iboga Records.

Chapter III of Freedom Fighters latest album "ERA"

‘One Level Down’


The Universe is underground / it’s made of stars and made of sound / Only Robot knows the way / But Robot’s fallen in the maze/ Move quickly through the darkness now / This Smoky Land of Smoky Sounds / Planets waiting underneath
 Dodge the searchlights, hide and seek / We will need electric eyes, to reach this hidden paradise
Flash the message, do you read? / Something crackling on the screen! / Blipping bleeps 
we’re getting near / Robot, are you hiding here? / A mess of wires, our broken 
friend  / Plug my head back in again! / Robot, be our navigator
Now to the Magic Elevator! / The Universe is underground 
It’s made of stars and made of sound 
With Robot lost and Robot found

It waits for us, One Level Down
