Cherouvim

Οι Cherouvim ήταν ένα συγκρότημα Nitzhonot και uplifting trance μουσικής από την Αθήνα. Η μπάντα σχηματίστηκε από τον Ιωάννη Χερουβείμ και τον Κώστα Κιούση. Στην ομάδα προστέθηκε και ο Παναγιώτη Βαξεβανάκης που έλαβε μέρος σε τουλάχιστον 8 κομμάτια και ήταν ενεργός μέχρι τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του '90. Μετά το καλοκαίρι του '99 ο Πάνος άφησε την ομάδα λόγω της συνολικής αλλαγής του στυλ και ο Ιωάννης πήγε στην Αγγλία για σπουδές. Ο Ιωάννης επέστρεψε αργότερα και συνεργάστηκε πάλι με τον Κώστα.

this group is a story of some friends in athens who started listening to trance music years ago and later on they began going to psychedelic trance parties. someday somehow they realised that they could write their own music so they gave it a chance and gave a track to a big promoter/party organiser in athens and it all started like that! john started making tracks for that guy and later on panos joined him in this attempt to create tracks for this special people of that party called RLoaD. some months later kostas was in the team too giving a nice boost to the sound quality of the group. giving the people exactly what they wanted and the good promotion was what made this group very famous in greece from it's first steps. the first releases in greek and israeli compilations had already happened and everything was getting bigger and bigger. after the summer of 99 a lot of things happened. panos left the group because of total change of style and john went to UK for studies. kostas alone did a great job by creating killer tracks and presenting a new style that would soon be copied by all the new greek groups that would enter the 'uplifting-trance' music industry of greece.now the time has passed, ideas, style and sound technology knowledge have gone even further and by the use of new and powerful equipment john and kostas are producing music which is a lot more than just party-music. with more 'psychedelic trance' elements cherouvim now shows its new direction in the 'uplifting-trance' music.some people might understand, some may not...

Uplifting Trance - Nitzh o Not

Nitzh o Not Trance which was first formed @ Israel at '97, then came to Greece,as Uplifting, and its original form lasted till some years later..

Nitzhonot seems to blend hard pulsating basses, sometimes referred to as "laserkicks", with the Eastern melodies typical for Indian Goa Trance from 1996 and 1997. The tracks are usually in a range of 145-155 BPM.

At its time Nitzhonot reached a mainstream success in Israel. The most notable artist from this genre is Eyal Barkan, who released his album 'Good Morning Israel' in 1998. It became the first trance record that achieved gold status in its home country, selling more than 20,000 copies (bootleg versions accounted for 80,000). Other artists would stand up in the same year, including Kobi Kastoriano & Eyal Ben Or as Iceman and Avi Shwartz aka Holy Men, well known for his Comic Strip track, a famous summer hit in 1998. These young producers were able to conquer the big cities with their hard hitting trance. In the end, the scene would dry out due to an overkill of low-budget and amateurish music. Typhoon Records, by far the biggest Nitzhonot label back in the late nineties, released over forty CDs in less than two years and faded away in 2000.

Before most artists in Israel changed their direction to Full On, artists in Greece captured the flow of this music. At the beginning of a new millennium Nitzhonot, now renamed as Uplifting, would stand up again, raising in popularity. However, both terms are not exactly synonyms. Uplifting stands further from Goa trance than Nitzhonot, as the oriental melodies fall away completely.

A typical Uplifting track contains heroic and epic melodies with European trance influences. Notable artists include Cyan, Cherouvim, Darma, Star Children, Qsys, Mendark, Dementia. Mike Verros was another significant name in the scene, as he actually introduced this style of music in Greece.

Groups-Composers such as : Sahar , Kintaro , Oren and Eyal Barkan , Kastoriano Kobi , Goldenfinger , Suki , Holyman , Injector , Cherouvim , Cyan , Star Children , Naga , and many more are keeping us a good company at radios and parties when we are listening to their tracks

~1997-2001 main wave of pure uplifting and nitzh~
