RAZ, the project of Israeli producer Raz Kfir, is a prominent figure in the 'Full On' psytrance movement. Emerging from the fertile Israeli electronic scene, Kfir's sound identity is built on a foundation of high-BPM rhythmic precision and aggressive melodic layering.
His work is characterized by a high degree of technical proficiency in digital synthesis, often favoring the 'rolling triplet' bass style that became a hallmark of the genre in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Throughout his career, spanning from early releases on SunDance Records to his more recent independent and collaborative works, RAZ has maintained a reputation for 'apocalyptic' atmospheres, blending the spiritual roots of trance with a modern, war-inspired intensity. Critically, he is viewed as a bridge between the old-school melodic trance of the 90s and the hyper-polished production standards of contemporary psy-festivals. His influence is felt in the way he integrates cinematic tension into dancefloor-focused arrangements, a technique mirrored by peers like Astrix and Yahel.
