Ace Ventura:
Yoni Oshrat, a
30-year old Israeli with a rich musical background. Born in
a musical family (his father is a famous Israeli composer
and song writer, for instance behind the Eurovision song
"Hallelujah") and previously working in the TV and
movie-industry as a sound producer before he discovered
trance in the beginning of the nineties.
After that things moved quick for Yoni - after DJ’ing for
years, he teamed up with his friend Dj Goblin to form the
Children of the doc project which later changed name to
PSYSEX - together they released 3 critically-acclaimed full
length albums on HOMmega, and played a big part in
establishing Israel as one of the most important
trance-countries on the globe.
After several years of intense touring, playing at some of
the biggest parties and festivals worldwide, Yoni’s taste
moved more and more towards the slower, groovier side of
music though, and from 2006 he is no longer a part of the
Psysex project. Instead he has started 2 new projects:
SCHATSI, which is an electro-project, already getting
featured on releases from Hadshot and Mylo’s Breastfed
Recordings, while being spined by the likes of Jhon Digweed,
and of course ,ACE VENTURA. Yoni is fond of all major sides
of the progressive scene, and it shines through in his Ace
ventura project, which best can be described as deep, tribal
and pumping progressive psytrance - pure dynamite on the
dance floor.
Despite being a relatively new project, ACE VENTURA has
already toured extensivley around the globe,and appeared on
releases from Flow, Domo, Echoes, Blue tunes, Spintwist,
HOMmega and of course Iboga, while being remixed by Zen
mechanics, Perfect Stranger, Aerospace, Sensient, Bluetech,
Khainz,Peter Gun, XVKillist & Rocco, Gaudium and more. In
2007 he compiled the 1st progressive compilation on famed
fullon-trance label HOMmega - NEW ORDER, featuring tracks
from the best artists the progressive scene has to offer.
Official work on the sequel, New order 2 ,has begun as well.
Release date is planned for late 2008,and will be more
techno oriented this time around....
On september 2007 the debut Ace ventura album,REBIRTH was
finally released on Iboga records. It featured 9 tracks and
included collaborations with Liquid soul,Intelabeam and Lish.
The rebirth tour has kicked off in Brazil, and will continue
through
Israel,Switzerland,Italy,Hungary,Greece,Denmark,Holland,Portugal,Belgium,
Germany, Sweden and Australia.
Watch out for the Ace ventura Remix album, to be released on
Iboga records this summer....
In this newly made DJ mix (mixed and recorded on ABELTON
LIVE v.5, in Sao Paulo), Ace shows his rather Technoish
side.....
More mixes soon to come!
