Israel’s hottest DJ / production duo touch down at Renaissance’

A lot of roads seem to be leading to Israel for Renaissance. Following Magit Cacoon’s superb Argy revision and a soon to be seen remix from Chaim & Jenia Tarsol (watch this space), there can be no denying the sheer weight and calibre coming out of the country.

Further proof, as if that weren’t enough, now comes in the form of Jos & Eli’s SOS EP.

The intrepid Israeli duo arrive at Renaissance on a hot streak, following releases on Watergate, Armada, Stil Vor Talent, Dear Deer and more’ With the SOS EP they deliver two absolute corkers that, in their trademark fashion, blur the lines between melodic techno and indie.

‘I guess Israel has become a renowned hotbed for indie dance. Although you can hear that influence in our work, we do try to expand the sound to take in melodic techno elements. It’s a shame Beatport don’t offer a Melodic Indie Techno genre to be honest!’ – Jos & Eli

The package receives a further genre-expanding boost from men of the moment Framewerk. Arguably the current dons of all things breaks and electronica, the British duo imbue their magic on title track SOS with a 1 throttle mix that pairs a devastating bassline with the tracks infectious melody.

“As we have been massive fans and supporters of Renaissance for many years, it was a great compliment to be asked to provide a remix for them. When we first heard Jos & Eli’s original mix we were immediately inspired by the distinctive main hook and wanted to provide a breaks rework that hopefully retains the energy of the original in a different way.” – Framewerk
