Hujaboy

Nir Shoshani, born 1976, and lives in Jerusalem. Nir has played guitar, bass and drums (a little of everything), went through some death metal and funky metal bands, until in the age of sixteen he discovered trance in a party of DJ Miko in Givat Olga. It took about six months till he really connected to the music, another year or two till he actually developed a personal taste. In 1995 he went to India and there decided to be a DJ. When he came back to Israel, he started DJing in parties in Jerusalem, and after a year formed together with Assaf Dor the group Gorlation Corporation. After they decided to part ways Nir continues making music on his own working under the names Hujaboy for the more trancey stuff and Boo-Reka for the more technoish stuff. He works with audio only.

In March 2002 he released his debut album- Hujajoy- in Hommega. His second album- Sonic Tonic- was released in November 2003. In October 2002 he released Boo-Reka- Data Corrupt Factory in Agitato.
