LOUD are a psytrance / electronica / psychedelic music group consisting of Kobi Toledano and Eitan Reiter, both from Haifa, Israel. LOUD have been called "one of the hottest and most interesting groups in the world trance scene today."[1]

Members

Eitan Reiter was born on December 3, 1982, in Haifa, Israel, the son of a classical guitar player. He became fascinated by the sounds of synthesizers and when he was 16 started making music on his computer using Impulse Tracker.[2]

Kobi Toledano was born on December 1, 1976, in Haifa, Israel. Since his youth he was interested in electronic devices, taking them apart and putting them back together. Kobi worked for years in a recording studio managing and producing young artists. He discovered trance music and Psychedelic music while attending rave parties in the early 1990s in the forests of Northern Israel.[3] Kobi graduated from a leading sound school in the Galilee, northern Israel, and was the producer of a few psychedelic groups.

Music career

Kobi Toledano and Eitan Reiter have been producing electronic music together since 2006, blending old school roots with new sounds.

In 2009 the group was invited by BPM College, the leading institute in Israel for sound and music production studies, to conduct an artist workshop. The success of the workshop led to an ongoing relationship with BPM.

In 2011 the group was signed to the English/South African label Nano Records and since then have released several recordings.

LOUD have collaborated and remixed, and have been remixed, by many artistes, including: Simon Posford, Art of Trance, Union Jack, Dr Motte – Founder of Love Parade Berlin (released on PAXXIZ), Sebastian Mullaert, Infected Mushroom, J.Viewz, Bluetech, Son Kite, Astrix, Perfect Stranger, Shulman, Prometheus, Captain Hook, and Ace Ventura.

In 2013 LOUD assisted BPM in the development of its BPM Remixed project.[4] The success of this collaboration lead to similar projects.[5]
