We caught up with Yahel while finishing up his new mix album SUPER SET II, read the interview here.

Israeli DJ /Producer Yahel Sherman is one of the more popular artists to rise from the global psy-trance scene. Along with his fellow Israelis, Infected Mushroom, DJ Yahel has spent the past few years travelling the globe and spreading his sound to ravers and clubbers alike.
With numerous successful mix CDs under his belt plus several highly successful singles released on Tiesto's label,Black Hole, Yahel has solidified his status as an up-and-coming producer and jock to watch (currently ranked at No 28 on the global DJ rankings). Although he isn't committed to a single style, Yahel has a natural affinity with trance side of things. His typical set is highly melodic, floaty, uplifting and catchy as all hell – he brings these elements, and more, into the mix with his new album Super Set II.

We took a moment to catch up with him.

dmadd: You are a busy man, you're always on the go. What do you do for fun in your downtime?
Yahel: When I am home I like to play internet chess. I find it very relaxing. I also like to go fishing but I am not very good at it. I think its sitting around on the beach that I like more than actually catching anything. But I live near the sea and do things lilke walking with my dog Loco everyday.

dmadd: What is the one essential you have to take with you on your travels?
Yahel: My Archos media player. I love watching movies and TV shows on it. I also take my protable chess player. That keeps me occupied on long flights when I can't sleep

dmadd: What's the best part about being an international DJ?
Yahel: Being able to bring my music to people all over the world. I like the feeling of connecting with people through my music. I have to be honest too. I like seeing new cities, and staying in classy hotels, but for the most part its being able to connect with the fans.

dmadd: You've been appearing more and more in America and Canada? What's it been like DJing in North America?
Yahel: There are a lot of Israelis in North America, especially in places like NY, LA and Toronto. They like to support Israeli artists so my shows in those places usually turn into a bit of an Israeli cultural thing. Also the scene is growing. The US is behind Europe on the dance music scene but they are catching up fast.
