Born into a family of traditional musicians and the son of a father who was already spinning records in the late sixties, Chaim grew up to become a complex producer. Influenced by Moroccan music he heard at home while growing up, and the sound of Chicago House he fell in love with while working as a light jockey in his local clubs, his productions tell a story of a sensitive musician from Tel Aviv.
Chaim lives a lifestyle intense with bitter sweet moments, resulting from the extreme diversities his homeland offers. His tracks often climax with massive stabs, showing Chaim's unquestionable talent for the unexpected. He plants hooky and hypnotic melodies in the front, while scratching the soul with 80s inspired synth licks flickering from speaker to speaker, effects, and memorable vocals that are wrapped inside a wall of sound.
As a team, together with his partner in crime, Guy Gerber, they release on Supplement Facts, they produce epic tracks with uplifting, head-twisting melodies. While often producing big sound tunes like 'Genesis' appearing on Cocoon's compilation G, Chaim is also drawn to the more minimal side of electronic music one can hear in his Traum Schallplatten's sublabel My Best Friend/MBF release 'Carolin'.
These days he splits his time between studio work in the country side of Israel - working on his live show and album - and playing gigs in and outside of Israel.

The Compilation Werkschau (+Video)
was reviewed:
Twelve years and counting - Ellen Allien has been steering her BPitch Control vessel across the rough seas of the music industry for well over a decade now, exploring and defining a playful, pop-oriented side of Berlin techno with an unerring sense of direction.The programmatically titled 'Werkschau' is first and foremost a statement - the BPitch Control imprint has withstood all changes and transitions, and its current roster of artists, from mainstays like Sascha Funke and Zander VT to new talents like We Love and Aérea Negrot, is perhaps the most coherent and homogeneous one in the label's history.
The compilation opens with newcomer Cormac's 'The Present', a classic BPitch track in its combination of melodic house music and slightly absurd vocals. Ellen Allien follows this up with her own contribution, the organ-grinding 'The Kiss', which should easily prove one of the album's DJ favourites.
Further highlights include Sascha Funke's deep and moody 'Hiddensee' and Paul Kalkbrenner's sentimental folk techno contribution, 'Plätscher'. DJs will be drawn to deep club-ready tracks by Chaim, Mark Broom, and Thomas Muller, while BPitch's more adventurous side is covered by AGF/Delay and Jahcoozi.
Offering 17 unreleased tracks by some of electronic music's finest artists, 'Werkschau' is a remarkable display of creative prowess and shouldn't be missed at any cost.
