Flash Brothers

The 3 brothers - Ruven, Ilan and Shmuel Flaishler are one of the pioneers of house/progressive & tribal tech uplifting trance music in Israeli dance music productions. They are situated in Tel Aviv, originally from the isolated town of Nazareth in Israel, but there's no room for sibling rivalry in this trio as they all share the same passion for producing. Their venture into the world of dance music first started when one of the brothers studied sound at the leading school of music in Tel-Aviv, another in computers and, the last, in clubs,
labels and DJing. It was only a matter of time before they set up their own studio.

Their big break came 6 years ago when they finally met their hero DJ Choopie, who influenced what they were doing in the studio, and eventually signed them to his label Agnosia Records. Their first track, "Bordeaux", was released on Agnosia's local artist's compilation "House of Babylon", soon followed by "Sahara", which featured on the "Dance & Levi's" festival compilation alongside Juno Reactor, 808 State, and Prodigy. First success came 4 years ago when one of Flash's earlier productions "Amazonas" (a hybrid of Israeli-Dutch-European styles) was signed worldwide to Germany's Dos or Die (Zomba) and backed by DJs such as Tiesto, Scott Bond, John Kelly, Brandon Block and Graham Gold, to name a few.

The biggest breakthrough for the brothers' career came out in the beginning of 2001 with replayed supports by 2 of the world's best djs & their successful labels signing their tracks - Paul Oakenfold (Perfecto Records) & John Digweed (Bedrock Records). Then they broke into the UK market under the name Flash with the release of "The Day After/Megatron" through Perfecto last October 2001 (included in "Perfecto presents Paul Oakenfold Ibiza 2001" & "Perfecto Collection" triple mix CD album), and from there things went globally & well known.

The guys are signed today with some of the leading dance labels in the world (Perfecto, Bedrock, Hooj Choons, Yoshitoshi, Boxed). Also they are performing as a trio live act with their music for more than 3 years, when they played already all over Israel's clubs (TLV, Dome, Octopus, Pacha) in the country, including open air festivals as well (Love Parades,
Heineken Sundance).

Shmuel Flash is one of the brothers, who also producing alone & is the dj among them, who lots of times warms them up on the live gigs, as been playing together around the world (Turkey , Hungary, Sweden, Israel, UK, Holland, Asia).

Things looks great for the guys this year, as only recently in 2003 they signed new tracks to more well known labels as Silver Planet, Distraekt, Yoshitoshi, Harlequin, Vapour and Release.

With supports from all big djs as Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Sasha, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Deep Dish , Dave Seaman, Steve Lawler, Satoshi Tomiie, Saeed & Palash, Rui da Silva, Sandra Collins, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo and many others, the future will bring them only good stuff!
