Who is the vocalist on “Tiens”?
It’s a funny story; it is a voice that I found on a very old record of my grandmother’s. The label was scratched up. I had this record for a very long time. I worked on the playback of “Tiens” and it was almost finished and I then I put only the voice from the record on it and it worked so good, it was such an organic thing, a magic moment. But I don’t know who she is; it’s like from a dream or something. The magic about this track is that it has a very strong gypsy attitude. I love gypsy music, it is the only music that is out of any concept and comes directly from the heart. They immediately start to perform, they put themselves in a mood and then they start to sing, sort of like Blues. In Eastern Europe you can find great examples of this kind of performing, I love it, it’s very emotional. Was a majority of the album recorded in Tel Aviv? Yes a lot of the album I did in Tel Aviv. I was invited a few times to DJ in Tel Aviv and I found it to have a very special and intense situation
