Van Goose - "Modern Times"
Photo by Corey Groves Multi-instrumentalist and producer Shlomi Lavie, has one of the most unique paths to music we've heard. He started out in a hacking community in the 90's, enjoying entering the computer systems of companies. After someone he knew was raided for shutting down a university's computer system, he decided to stop and focus on music. He started out in his hometown of Haifa and eventually moved to Tel Aviv where he played with Habiluim, played a show with Dan Akroyd, and recorded with Ryan Gosling.
