Choopie

Choopie (Sharon Choopie Freundlich) Choopie is a Tel Aviv-based music producer who has carved out and established his own niche in the worldwide electronic music scene. His music defies over-simplistic genre classification. Drawing influences from Progressive House, melodic Techno, Tech House and Techno, Choopie has created and refined his own unique musical identity and grown his name as a top DJ/Producer worldwide. Both his productions and DJ sets are instantly recognisable through their unique hypnotic melodies and seductive grooves. A self-confessed perfectionist, his work is his obsession. Every beat and every note are faultlessly strung together; each track is a testament to his fascination with the creative process. After studying Music Tech and specialising in music cognition and perception, Choopie became captivated by the concept of listener manipulation and cultivated the ability to produce tracks that are so unnervingly addictive. Choopie discovered his lifetime passion for electronic music at an early age. Now, more than thirty years later Choopie has created a legacy of musical accomplishment and ideas which serve both as a statement of achievement and a pointer towards a continuing bright and stimulating musical future. Sets Some of Choopie’s tracks during his sets: “The Love” was released by Yoshitoshi Recordings Music Deep Dish’s and climbed to the Top 100 House charts; "Yim” (Multiply) the first major release by Jez & Choopie which made the UK Top 40 and was licensed to over 20 countries; “Sunrising” by Choopie & Samuel on Blackhole Recordings (Tiesto’s label); “Visions” EP by Choopie & Segall released on Adaptation Music. “Chilling Moments” with Shmuel Flash released on Bedrock recording (John Digweed’s legendary label); “1991” The Soundgarden Winter Collection mix by Nick Warren; and his last release “Inception “with Golan Zocher on Beatfreak recordings: Beatport Top 100 Prog Chart Choopie Music received huge support and great feedback from the whole electronic music scene. Musical Journies Choopie has played in venues in all over Europe, in Ibiza, in the USA and at home in the Middle East. Every party is an event, full of people and fans living the music, entranced by Choopie’s ability to play different sounds for every moment on the dance floor. Effortlessly moving from house to massive techno, his sets always deliver a wall of unrestrained energy and musical revelation. What’s Going on Now? Choopie, Sharkieboy and Golan Zocher are hard at work in the Agnosia studio creating new and uplifting music that will be released later this year. With their powerful and inventive sounds, these tracks possess the impressive capability to both inspire intimate dance floors and to fire huge arenas with explosive energy and drive. Musical influences “I was first fascinated by the way that Pink Floyd integrated electronics into their music, but then Kraftwerk, especially their album Computer World, was both my defining moment and my greatest inspiration. Their pioneering innovation in electronic and avant garde music, in terms of both sound and dance, captivated me and I have followed their work ever since. Kraftwerk will always been hailed as the forerunners of electronic music and their influence on my life in music has been immeasurable.” Follow Dj Choopie
