Perplex, who is also known as Ronen Dahan, was born 1974 in Haifa, Israel. He grew up in small community near Tel Aviv. By the age of 14 he had started a small rock band, in which he played the guitar and was the lead singer. His main influences back then were Depeche Mode and other new wave artists who were all the rage at the time.

With 17 years of age, he went on his tour of Australia and Europe. When he got back to Israel. The first Techno had arrived from Northern Europe to which he felt attracted.

Shortly after, in 1993 Trance also came to the Middle East in a big way. He immediately liked this style even more. Sven Vath and the likes of Slinky Wizard gave his ears something he had never heard before. He quickly dropped the band and became a DJ collecting records from the likes of The Infinity Project and Matsuri records. By then other artists also came creeping in from Goa to Israel.

He began using DAT, since this new music was more underground on not available on vinyl. His local heroes in those days were Gay Sabag and Avi Nissim. When he was 21 years old he made his first trip to Goa. It was there that Trance Music took over his whole life and he met Riktam and Bansi (GMS) for the first time.

After that Perplex followed his dream to make music and has produced till today 9 albums and more then 3 dozen compilation’s in the main labels in the world of psy & electronic such as Spun rec, Hommega rec, BNE rec, Phonokol rec, Fineplay rec Jp, Compact rec, Utopia rec, And the list is long …
