WWD: Hey Eran, great to meet you! How has your year been so far?

So far, it’s been the best year of my life. I’ve traveled to so many new places to play and share my music, and it’s been incredible.

WWD: Your recent remix for Swedish House Mafia and Alicia Keys on ‘Finally’ with Shooma has been a huge hit. Can you share how this collaboration came about and what it was like working with him?

I first saw a video of them playing it last year, and I was immediately inspired. The week the original was released, I was in Budapest, where I met Shooma in the studio. We started working on the remix and focused on infusing it with my unique sound while staying true to the essence of the original.

WWD: ‘Sorry’ and ‘Ale Ale’ were game-changers for you, especially with their viral success on Instagram and TikTok. How did it feel to see such a massive reaction, and how did it impact your career trajectory?

The support and love I received for those tracks have been on another level. It’s incredible to see people connecting so deeply with my work. Both tracks played a significant role in elevating my career and making an impact within the music industry.

WWD: Can you remember when you first got into dance music? What sounds, labels, or DJs sparked it?

I’ve loved music from a very young age and grew up as a huge fan of Michael Jackson. My journey into DJing started at 14 when I saw Tiësto perform. That moment was life-changing—I knew right then that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

WWD: You’ve performed across various international locations like Kenya, the USA, Dubai, and Tulum. How do you adapt your performances to connect with diverse audiences in different parts of the world?

I always bring a lot of energy to my performances, which helps me connect with the crowd from the start. I also make it a point to read the audience—usually after two songs, I can gauge the vibe and decide the direction of my set. This flexibility is key to connecting with audiences across the globe.

WWD: Collaboration seems to be a big part of your career. Can you tell us about a memorable collaboration experience and how it influenced your music?

My collaboration with Darmon, Madonna, and Blondish was definitely the most memorable. It took my career to the next level, and it’s been a huge inspiration for me to keep pushing boundaries and creating music that resonates with people worldwide.

WWD: What should a great music label do to effectively promote an artist’s work? And which label do you think has the best system and support for promoting music and helping artists succeed?

A great music label should focus on building a genuine connection between the artist and their audience. They should provide strong marketing support, ensure the music reaches the right listeners, and use digital platforms effectively to maximize visibility. They also need to secure performance opportunities, foster strategic partnerships, and maintain transparency with the artist.

From my experience, labels like Defected Records and Armada excel in these areas. They create platforms where artists and their music truly shine, whether through incredible live performances or global distribution strategies.

WWD: What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far?

Collaborating with Madonna, remixing Swedish House Mafia and Alicia Keys, and headlining EDC and Zamna have definitely been the biggest highlights of my career so far.

WWD: Looking ahead, what can your fans expect next? Are there any new projects, collaborations, or ventures you’re excited about that you can share with us?

2025 is going to be an exciting year with even more touring and a lot of new original tracks coming out. I’m so excited about what’s coming and can’t wait to share it all with my fans.

WWD: Sounds amazing! Thanks for the chat 🙂
