Biography

ECHOTEK is Micha Yossef, born in 1975, Israel. Micha started his path in music over 10 years ago as a member of a gothic rock band, which produced one of BNE’s first album releases back in 1993, “Substance for God”.
Shortly after the release of their debut album, the band broke up and parted ways. Shortly after, Micha migrated to the trance scene and discovered the evolving world of DJ’s and music production. He began perfecting his production skills and produced Tech-Trance tunes for his sets. The road to making music was opening up.

After 8 years of performing as a DJ, Micha switched to music production, a natural extension of his knowledge and experience as a guitarist and DJ. His desire to affect the dance floor with his own sounds led to the birth of Echotek. His sharp sense for taste and quality of music, different from the full on formula, drew the attention of highly acclaimed labels. He was being noticed and was in demand.
His releases in the past years can be found on numerous labels such as Spirit Zone, Iboga, Spiral Trax, BNE/YoYo, Shiva Space Technology, Phonokol, Spectrum Music, Flow Records, Ajuca, and Tatsu Records to name only a few!

Echotek’s debut album - "Application Rate" was released under Flow Records, Portugal, in May 2003. The second Echotek album “Emotion Chaos” was released in early 2005. Both releases gained Micha further recognition in the international scene, not to mention extensive exposure in media and live shows.

Apart from his Echotek activities, Micha has produced two successful side projects: "Neo Logic" (with Safi Connection) signed to the Greek label Candy Flip, and "Reflex", another storming psytrance release on the Israeli label "Avatar Records".
Micha is an important and unique addition to the BNE family of artists, and his progressive trance production is outstanding and appealing both to trance heads as well as for the clubbers.

Micha completed working on the third Echotek album in his own studio in October-06. This album showcases Micha’s ever evolving production & writing abilities. “Changing Frames” is an innovative example that BNE refuses to fall in line with the usual psytrance mania, and as a label supports intelligent and high quality music other than the regular full on formula J
In November 2007 Micha has released the 3rd part of BNE’s diverse series of compilations – Advanced Options 3. This compilation shows a diverse & fascinating musical path blending beautifully with the ever-growing international Progressive Trance undercurrent. With each track impeccably chosen, Echotek has created the ultimate compilation featuring some of today’s leading Psy, Electro & Progressive artists including: Moshic, Nasser, Brisker & Magitman, Vibrasphere
