Mo Shic – The Story So Far…
Northern Israel, Haifa, Mo Shic Shlomi is born – a man, whose name
thrills millions of progressive House fans today. He grew up in a
musical family, but not everything in his life inclined cheerful singing.
In the age of 18, he was enlisted to National Service, where as a medic,
he had to deal with death everyday. Soldiers brought from Lebanon were
dying right i n front of his eyes. Continuous suicide attacks and living
on a time bomb made Mo Shic understand, what’s the most important thing
in life – to seize the day.
When he finished paying his debts to the country, he decided to devote
himself completely to electronic music. He fell in love with
progressive, which wasn’t too popular at that time in Israel. He was
handing out his mixes wherever he could, but the scene ignored his “too
dark” style. Disillusioned, he moved to New York – the city where John
Digweed and Sasha were spinning records in Twilo, and Mo Shic’s
progressive darkness finaly found a susceptible breeding ground.
Nevertheless, Mo Shic didn’t stay on emigration for too long. At Avi
Yossef’s request he went back to the motherland too meet Avi, a meeting
that later on changed his life. His dreams started to come true. With
his first singles under the Argounout guise, Mo Shic started to conquer
the dance scene worldwide. However the true fame and publi city gave him
a production made with his friend – Shlomi Zidan. “Nightstalker” was
included in Danny Howells’s “Nocturnal Frequencies 3” and Jimmie Van M’s
“Bedrock: Compiled & Mixed" compilations. When “Dj Magazine” announce
the tune as the underground hit of the year, nothing could stop Mo Shic.
The Mo Shic and Zidan mix for John Digweed’s broadcast on Kiss 100, went
down in history. Since then – December 2001 – Mo Shic has constantly
emerged from the underground to finally became its ambassador. The
Ambassador, because his fame doesn’t fit within borders of underground
anymore.
Every day, every week, every month masterpieces like “10@ZE” or the
remix of Memnon’s “Locutus” were produced. Year after the Kiss 100
broadcast his “Distorted Patterns” compilation was unearthed.
Progressive fans went down to their knees and Mo Shic was asked to do
the Essential Mix that was broadcasted in February this year. Soon after
that his mix is added to the “Dj Magazine ’s” April issue. This set as
well as the Essential Mix mostly included tracks from not widely known
Middle East artists and the world was left without doubts – Mo Shic is a
genius! He spelled it out once more with the slamming remix of Christian
Hornbostel’s “Into Your Mind”.
In an interview for soundrevolt.com he said: “My main ambitions are to
export different kind of productions that will get special attention on
the dance floor. I hate average music and I'm known to my relatives as a
guy who yearns for perfection in his life. And I will not go the easy
way and sample other people works, 100% Moshic and not a cent less.”
Few listens of his productions or sets is enough to fully understand
what the author meant. If not remixing, he very often edits the tracks
he plays to give them the touch of his unique style. The style filled
with darkness and curdling blood energy. But it doesn’t freeze the body.
The body meekly obeys the perfect sound and fulfills i tself in dance.
Till this day, Mo Shic has produced over 40 tracks! But it’s not the
end! More are waiting to be published – the fruits of his collaboration
with Rui Da Silva to name just a few.
The darkness shines brightly, showing that progressive can still be
breathtaking...
