Barak: We have two tracks with Domestic, one with Guy Salama and we remixed Psysex -altered states, pixel - flip the script , The Delta - As a Child, Faithless- Insomnia and Pixel & Goblin made a remix of our track Drum'n'Chase.

JK: That’s some big level collaborations, what was is like working with such prominent artists?

Barak: yes, hehehehehehe! You learn a lot about the music and you can also learn many different styles, which is very good!

JK: which artists have influenced u both?

Barak: We are influenced by Astrix, Infected mushroom, Pixel, Psysex, Sub6 and Domestic. I think they have the best production these days.

JK: what does your studio consist of? Do play live or just DJ shows?

Barak: we use only computer with VST plug-ins these days I don't think u need more than that to produce good music with good sound. We play both live and DJ sets.

JK: where is the best party you've been too? Best moment in trance career so far?

Barak: I think that the party in Brazil was the best, people with good vibes really got connected to the music and there is nothing better than seeing 6000 people dancing and flying to your music, hehehehehe!

JK: Any thank yous or people who have helped you along the way?

Barak: The people who really helped us are Goblin, Domestic, Pixel and of course our manager, Eyal Yankovitch.
