Tel Aviv, Israel (1997 – present)
Astrix (‘Avi Shmailov, born 1981, Caucasus) is a psychedelic trance DJ and producer specialising in the sub-genre of full on.
He grew up in Tel Aviv, Israel 1992 and he began recording music under the name Astrix in 1997: the name was chosen for simply sounding good, and not directly influenced by anything in particular.
Astrix started as a DJ in 1995 playing alternative and 1980s music. It was during this time that he learned about electronic music. In 1997 he began his first in-house studio recordings using a personal computer. He discovered trance in 1997 after being invited to a Trance party. “At first it was a very new and strange experience for me and I couldn’t find myself, but I was impressed by the energy and the impact that the music had made on the people at the party.” At the beginning of his career in the late 1990s he produced tracks in the “nitzhonot” style of trance, an uplifting, anthemic off-shoot of goa trance. His first tracks were “In Peace” and “Eakhis World,” which both appeared on the well-known nitzhonot compilation “Ptzatzot 3.”
During the late 1990s and into the early 2000s he continued in this style and collaborated with several major Israeli trance artists such as Yahel, Eyal Barkan and Oren Barkan. In 2001 he collaborated with Alien Project on the album Midnight Sun, which marked his switch from nitzhonot to full-on psytrance.

For those who interested: HelixNebula. It's my psytrance project. The goal is to make melodic and suitable for dancefloors music so it's similar to Astrix, Astral Projection. Here is couple of tracks
Trip to Infinity, Dancing Galaxy (HelixNebula remix) (it's remix of Astral Projection greatest track). Hope you enjoy it!

Anyone here enjoy Paul Oakenfold? You should vote for him in the DJ Mag contest this year. He really deserves it after releasing Perfecto Vegas and his string of performances this year, as it was a true return to form for him. To vote click the link below! http://top100djs.djmag.com/

I love his music, but....did you notice that structure of most tracks is the same? First 4-5-6 minutes is effects or something and after 3 - 2,5 minutes till the end of the track he lefts nice pad and there goes cool synth with cool melody (for those, actualy, I love him ;)). Examples: Poison, Monster, Artcore don't remember others :) But of course there is exeptions ;). But why he cann't try another structures? Maybe there is more interesting things? Will wait for new stuff.

It's not much of a thinker to vote for Astrix on the DJ Mag's poll, but how about other greats like Paul Oakenfold, Infected Mushroom, Crystal Method, and Simon Posford. Thoughts anyone? http://top100djs.djmag.com/
