Maor Levi

Israeli DJ, producer. Born 5 June 1988 in Ashkelon, Israel. Became interested in electronic music at age of 11 when he discovered the local Hard and Psy Trance artist scene. Signed his first record "Ministry Of Love" to the UK label Lost Language under his Progressive Trance alias Pillow One in 2005, at age 17. He produced music together with his friends like his homies Yankle (Yoni Yarchi), Raul Siberdi, Liad Shiri, or the Swedish Matias Lehtola. In the same year, he sent a demo CD of Lital to Anjunadeep. Since then, he became a regular family member of Anjunabeats.

During the years, he tried out many things like Tech Trance under the alias Maori, Techno under Mister M, Goa Trance under M.A.O.R., Uplifting under MLV, Deep Progressive under Verny, Electro and Tech House under Roam L; and he had an alias 123XYZ, which was created during his army servance between 2007 and 2009 as an incognito at first.

After founding a stalwart friendship with Ilan Bluestone and making numerous tunes together, he travelled into more mainstream fields. He founded the Dubstep / Electro group Lazer Lazer Lazer with Bruce Karlsson, also Bad Royale with Bruce, Elias Ghosn and Kevin Wild in 2015 with similar style.

He slowly but surely felt that may his solo career has been a little taken into background according to these projects, also he started to miss the more atmospheric and emotional sounds which he states his trademarks. After this partial hiatus, he gravitated back to his solo career and left the group Bad Royale in 2017.

Since then, he founded the Trance trio Elysian with ilan and Emma Hewitt in 2020, but his main focus is permanently on his solo career and findig new sounds that can be fusioned with Trance - which he often mentions with the terminus "Tronce".
