In Interview with Moscoman
Son of Israel, proprietor of record label Disco Halal and an increasingly influential figure in alternative club culture over the past few years, Moscoman has long been dancing to the beat of his own drum. From his beginnings across the dive bars of Tel Aviv, bridging the myriad sounds of his homeland with alien electronic excursions from much further afield, to his current success doing much of the same to ever-widening audiences, the musical boundaries of Moscoman have long since blurred, evolving only forward, effortlessly bridging the gap between new-wave, house, techno, trance and a sound increasingly all of his own.
For evidence of man like Moscoâs studio prowess, not to mention his seemingly limitless imagination, look to 2017âs âTreisarâ, an ambitious project that saw no less than eight individual Moscoman EPs arrive on vinyl in less than twelve months. Each showcasing a different idea, tempo and flavour, the still-to-be-completed series provided unexpected anthems that snuck up on dancefloors just as the next edition rolled out of the pressing plant and disappeared from shelves.
In parallel with his restless studio experimentation, a relentless touring schedule has taken Moscoman across the world from his native Israel and current home in Berlin to Asia, America and across Europe, adapting but never altering his sound for festival gigs and impressing with an ambitious live set at Primavera Sound and DGTL. Still, itâs when left alone to orchestrate sweat-drenched, open-minded, open-hearted dancefloors that Moscomanâs musical idealism and years of skill best harmonise into something special.
One of these upcoming special moments is the upcoming Diynamic Festival , which Moscoman has been invited to play for the first time. After the huge success of Diynamic festival 2018 and of course the most recent ADE showcase, the Diynamic family returns to Amsterdam for the seventh Diynamic Festival in 2019.
We caught up with Moscoman to talk about his relationship with Diynamic and to discuss what he has planned for 2019.
