Our TapSongz Team recently came across Asi Vidal, a talented EDM artist originally from Israel. We had the chance to interview him to learn more about his past, recent releases, and plans for the upcoming year!
Vidal moved to the US about 10 years ago and is currently based in Los Angeles, California. "I started pursuing music as a teenager. I loved the sound of techno and electronic music and started collecting dance music." But it wasn't until Asi's early 20's where he finally decided he wanted pursue being a DJ full-time. "My favorite artist growing up was The Prodigy. I was listening to their album 'Fat of the Land' on repeat. They inspire me to create electronic music," Vidal told our TapSongz Team. Fast forward to today and Asi has made great strides with his music and progression as an artist.
Vidal recently released his third album "Strike Hard". "The meaning of the album title was for me to go hard with what I love the most and what I want to create without considering what is popular or what people will say," Asi said. We particularly loved the project as each song is so different and will take you on a journey, whether it is progressive, techno, trance, or house. The project took Asi four years to complete. It combines middle eastern percussion and sounds like darbuka, Moroccan music rhythms and background vocals with electronic sound from the house and trance genres.
After releasing a handful of big projects and making great progress as a musician, Asi still sets the bar higher. "My goals heading into 2019 is to start working on a new album. I have a new concept of sound that I want to put together and have a few releases coming up on Rhino Star Records," Vidal said. He also hopes to do a tour and perform the new album in clubs and festivals around the world. Asi is currently doing shows in the Los Angeles area. "I have played in clubs and festivals in Israel and the US and I want to keep growing and play international gigs."
Our TapSongz Team was impressed with the amazing EDM sound that Asi has put together after listening to "Magical Logic" and "Proteous Weapon". We encourage all of our viewers to give Asi's music a listen on SoundCloud as you will not be disappointed. Toss him a follow on Twitter to stay up to date with his latest releases. We can't wait to hear more great new tracks from the rising Israeli DJ and look forward to his upcoming fourth album! Here at TapSongz, we thank you for reading this feature article as we continue finding tomorrow's greatest music today!
