This video is a rare radio recording of Violet Vision's live set, aired live in the local radio from TLV Club, a venue located at the Tel Aviv Port by the sea. Since this session is no longer available online, I'm uploading it to preserve and share this unique moment in their history.

Violet Vision was an Israeli electronic duo active from around 2001 to 2005, blending breakbeat and drum & bass in a scene dominated by psytrance. I first discovered their music after hearing Your Voice, which immediately hooked me, and I’ve followed them closely ever since. they were sometimes compared to The Prodigy due to their energetic and genre-blending sound. Signed to YoYo Records, a sublabel of BNE (Brand New Entertainment), which was Israel’s leading label for psytrance and electronic music, they brought a fresh sound to Israel’s underground scene.

Live, they frequently performed with singer Noa Lembersky, whose vocals became a key part of their shows. She later continued collaborating with Jonathan Dagan in his J.Viewz project after he moved on from Violet Vision.

I was lucky to catch some of their gigs, including performances at a club called SO in Tel Aviv and Barzilay, a legendary basement venue for bass, jungle, and breakbeat music in the early 2000s. The last time I saw them perform as a duo was at a club in Jaffa by the beach, though unfortunately, they were forced to lower the volume, which affected the experience. They later apologized on their website and promised to make it up, but that never happened.

By then, Jonathan Dagan was shifting his focus to J.Viewz, and Shay Raviv was pursuing his own projects, including an indie rock group called Cavemen (or Caveman, if I remember correctly). Eventually, they both moved abroad: Raviv settled in L.A., where he occasionally shared videos jamming with Infected Mushroom’s Erez Eisen (who also relocated to L.A. around the same time), while Dagan moved to the East Coast, seemingly to New York.

This video is both a tribute to that era and an effort to keep this rare session alive. Enjoy!
