PASHA & BLETTER

The lives of Udi Bletter and Itai Pasha ran on strikingly parallel paths until inevitably changed courses toward collision, resulting the birth of one of the freshest, most interesting DJ duos Tel Aviv has seen.

As sons to musicians, both have been experimenting with various instruments from their early years. Both have inherited the burning desire to create and experience music in excess of quality and quantity alike. Udi's childhood memories include spending summers at the “Riviera” hotel in Eilat, watching his father jamming with jazz musicians from all over the world at the international jazz festival. Itai was playing his dad’s bass guitar in his elementary school shows and concerts and at the fifth grade was already operating the school’s radio station.

Itai and Udi began DJing (separately) in high school – by the age of 17, Itai was a resident of the university of Tel Aviv “dorm parties” and Udi was rocking prestigious private parties for people twice his age.

The third millennium caught Itai and Udi both juggling between several residencies in the finest lounges and dance bars in Tel Aviv, parties and of course, the Israeli army mandatory service. By that time their lifelines intersect - Itai and Udi are fellow DJ's, both consumed by their passion for electronic music. After finishing the service, Itai is honing his skills while holding residencies in several places which cater to different crowds while Udi works as a DJ in the legendary “99 Escape” radio station. The repercussions of house music explosions hit the weddings in Israel and now weddings are practically mini-raves for friends and families - Udi quickly becomes a rising star of the “house weddings” scene.

Over the last few years Udi and itai have been a staple of the local music scene, with residencies in Tel Aviv’s most successful Bars and clubs and countless events in various sizes under their belt the future looks bright as a strobe light for these two cats.
