Flash Brothers Biographie

The Flash Brothers are an Israeli trio that 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 & Perfectos recent triple Best of Perfecto ....).

The 3 brothers - Ruven, Ilan and Shmuel Flaishler, are 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 five 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. Real success
came two 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; Scott Bond, John Kelly,
Brandon Block and Graham Gold, to name a few.

The brothers' careers are expanding tremendously with a second single
coming out this summer through Perfecto - "Closing Session/the day after
remix" - already in Oakeys top 10 tunes...and supported by Nick Warren and
others. Further releases that have recently just come out (under different
production names) are:-

·The Flash Brothers - "Hazy March/Captured" - via Hooj Choons with remixes
by Joshua Collins & llls - which entered no. 15 in the UK dance charts the
first week it was released.

·Shmoo - "Sophistacted/Afrom Doom" - via Black/Bedrock just released in
April

·The Flash brothers - "Protect the Sense" - unreleased track featured non-
exclusively in John Digweeds recent Bedrock compilation MMII

·The Flash brothers - "Sarcasm" unreleased track non-exclusively in Global
Undegrounds GU022 recent compilation Dave Seaman - Melbourne

The two dj/prodcuers from the DC-metro area ...Saeed & Palash have recently
signed two tracks of the Flashers "Global Tribe" & "Night Tellers" for
their successful US label Addictive Records.

The Brothers have just finished an amazing remix for Cass & Slide - Havoc
that will be released at the end of June.

Under their different production names, their production methods are quite
different in every case, as for the Shmoo productions, the brain behind
this act is the younger brother Shmuel Flash (a.k.a. Deep Amok, Sam-u-l) ,
he is responsible for writing and producing and the two other brothers for
the arrangement and mixing. You'll notice that these are more more dark and
spacey, as for the other productions, the style is more uplifting
progressive house.

Shmuel's solo career is expanding in all directions with different
production styles and methods, under various names, 'Deep Amok - Shades /
Darkness' Black Records/Bedrock, included in the recent React compilation
of Anthony Papa. Deep Amok's remix for 'O.B.A (Oxygen Breathing Apparatus)
- Noah's Ark Black/Bedrock Records was also included in the this
compilation. Shmuel Flash will be coming out in July with Chilling Moments,
a track that everyone was talking about in Miami, packaged with two Bedrock
remixes - this track will be included in Perfecto presents Hernan Cattaneo,
and in Satoshi's Nubreed compilation, this track is strongly supported by
John Digweed, Nick Warren, Jimmy van M, Desyn Masiello and many others.
Additionally, Shmuel Flash & Guy Baranes - "Spanish Tales" will soooon be
out on Deep Dish's label Yoshitoshi....... Strongly supported by Deep Dish
& Danny Tenaglia.... To be included in Steve Lawlers upcoming Global
Underground triple CD, along side "Generate" yet another great production
by this promising gifted producer.
