Sphera - Every Mind is a Place

The creative process often feels solitary, yet no goal of this magnitude could be achieved without the cherished individuals in my life. Hence, I express heartfelt appreciation to the following people, whose unwavering support made this journey possible: To my family—my parents and my partner, Alex — for their boundless encouragement & support in every facet. To the artists who contributed their creativity to this album: Yuli Fershtat (Perfect Stranger), Dubi Dagan (Ritmo), Shahaf Efrat (Freedom Fighters), and Frederike Jender (lyrics and vocalist for Robotic Affairs). Special thanks to Luke Stroebel for the album artworks, crafted with an uncompromising hand and enormous talent, and to Onam Yahav for meticulous graphic fine-tuning, styling, typography, singles and vinyl design. To Iboga Records, led by Mikael Dahlgaard (DJ Emok), Michael Abel-Larsen (DJ Banel), and Roza Gazsi — thank you for being a true home from the inception, providing artistic freedom, unceasing faith, patience, and support in everything I've ever asked for. You are a second family to me and the best there is — in general. Thanks also to Omri (Homsy) Harari, Raz Gaster (Beyond Management), Vitor Falabella, and the wonderful Season Bookings team, Ben Avital (Sonic Booking), Ido Ophir for the mastering, Yoni Oshrat (Ace Ventura), Kevin Josefsen (Phaxe), Nicola Capobianco (Liquid Soul), Eitan Reiter, Roy Tilbor (Rocky Tilbor), Yariv Etzion (Stereo Underground) and all my fellow artists, producers and DJs—for the amazing feedback and support. Lastly, huge thanks to all the beautiful people worldwide for sharing your love and appreciation over the years. I can't begin to describe how much time, intention, and thought went into making this album. I am hopeful that through the musical message on this record, I can find a path to that special place in your minds and if I’m lucky, to a place in your hearts as well.
