Mechanix is a well-known psytrance project based on Israel. Starting with the release of some tracks in the Doof Records compilations, Mechanix stabilished himself with the release of his debut album by the same label. Now he is a world wide respected artist, having released his music through labels based on most continents.
I like his dark style with techno elements, it's different from most dark psy acts; unique Mechanix style.
