Tucked away in the streets of Central Tel Aviv lies the creative hub of avant-garde nu-disco act, No Moon. A small studio located in trendy Shenkin Street contains musical visionaries that transcend their everyday life by creating music that fuses disco basslines, house beats, 80’s style synths with soul and punk vocals both in English and Japanese.

No Moon have just finished a hot new mix of a classic 80s Italo house track and are receiving gre

The fusion of disco's corporeal groove with house's rhythmic precision, filtered through punk's raw vocal energy and 80s synthesizer textures, creates something that feels genuinely unsettled—never fully settling into comfort. What distinguishes this work is its linguistic multiplicity: the interplay between English and Japanese vocals suggests a deliberate interrogation of how language functions within electronic music, treating words themselves as timbral elements rather than narrative devices. Emerging from Tel Aviv's relentless 24-hour club ecosystem, the project carries an urgency that production-school
