Psysex are Udi Shternberg & Yoni Oshrat. Udi, also known as DJ Goblin, was born in 1979. He was always drown to music and started DJing by the age of 12 (!)- mainstream and dance music. When he was 16 he moved into house, DJing mostly on vinyl (he still owns a HUGE collection of them).
Yoni was born in 1977, to a musician father, and musically he's always been into electronic music, since the old days of techno & acid. He also used to play the drums.
The guys met during the hot raves season in 1997 while they were both partygoers. Goblin was still in the house scene, and just bought a computer and started building his studio aiming at making his own house music. Yoni persuaded him to start making trance music. Soon he realized that house music was way too simple, discovered trance, got the flip, and they started making trance music together. Their first track, they say, was very melodic and quite silly but they carried on till they released their first track-Welcome Friends- under the name Children of the Doc.
After a while Goblin did a track with Dave Saragosi (Kailum) and decided to call the project Psysex. Although it was a good experience, after that track Yoni took Dave's place and from then they were both Psysex & Children of the Doc. They also started a new project by the name Koopa Troopa, which is a freestyle project not meant for the trance dancefloor, more in style with electro and 80's electronic music.
In the end of the Millennium Udi and Yoni released the first Psysex CD, Expressions of Rage (Hommega), which also came out on vinyl through Balloonia. In July 2001 they released the second album- Hardcore Blastoff, and in September 2003 their third one- Come in Peace.
There were also some 12"s released- Children of the Doc EP (3D Vision), Psysex- 4 Days of Madness/Alien Cop 12" (Krembo), Electro Culture 12" (Balloonia), Psysex vs. GMS- Imprint/Copycat 12" (Spun).
