Moshic is a globally renowned electronic music artist best known for his deep, dark, melodic, and emotional approach to progressive house. With a career spanning over two decades and more than 500 original releases, he continues to receive strong support from industry legends like Pete Tong, John Digweed, Solomun, Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire (Deep Dish), Sasha, Hernán Cattáneo, and many more. His latest tracks were recently featured by the mighty John Digweed on Bedrock Records, and he also received a special Remix from his close friend and fellow Israeli luminary Guy J, highlighting Moshic’s enduring influence and respect within the scene.
Born into a family of musicians, Moshic was surrounded by creativity from an early age. However, his musical path was deeply shaped by his time serving as a medic in the Israeli National Service at age 18—an experience that brought him face-to-face with the fragility of life and instilled in him a sense of emotional depth that would later permeate his music.
After his service, he dedicated himself entirely to electronic music—specifically progressive house, which was still under-recognized in Israel. Despite early pushback for his “dark” style, a bold move to New York City became a turning point. The city’s vibrant underground scene allowed him to fully express his vision and connect with global artists.
Moshic began releasing music under the alias Argonout, with early singles signed to the legendary Dutch label Cyber Records. One of Moshic’s first releases under his own name was the track “Nightstalker,” which quickly became an underground anthem and gained widespread recognition, featured in top compilations and praised by DJ Magazine. In a major milestone, the entire Argonout project catalog was later purchased by Armin van Buuren’s label, Armada Music, confirming its importance in progressive music history.
Building on that momentum, Moshic released the landmark compilation "Distorted Patterns," which featured top Middle Eastern talent and showcased his curatorial skills. His Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, invited and hosted by Pete Tong, became legendary—marking him as the first Israeli artist ever featured on the show. Tong praised him as “the best Israeli thing since falafel.”
Moshic’s sound is instantly recognizable—dark, melodic, hypnotic, cinematic, and infused with subtle Middle Eastern textures. Avoiding commercial trends and easy samples, his productions are built from the ground up with emotional precision and an uncompromising vision.
With his independent label Contrast Records, Moshic provides a home for his distinct sound and a platform for rising artists who share his love for deep, boundary-pushing progressive house.
He has toured extensively around the world, released on top labels, and has been recognized three times in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs. In 2003, he won two MTV Israel Awards: Best Underground Release and Best Producer.
From Tel Aviv to Tokyo, Buenos Aires to Berlin, Moshic’s sound continues to move dancefloors, inspire producers, and remind the world that authenticity and depth will always stand the test of time.
