Fuego (IL): "I aim to create music that people connect with, dance to, and get addicted to"
In the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, Fuego (IL) is shaping his artistic identity through a sound rooted in groove, powerful basslines and infectious rhythms. Moving between Tech House and Indie Dance, his approach reflects a desire to create music that goes beyond the dancefloor, combining immediate impact with a distinctive sonic personality.
His recent discography includes collaborations with fellow Israeli artist Vox (IL), notably "Prendelo", released via Radiate Records in March 2026, as well as "Voca Boca", a collaboration with Sergio (IL) on OMADA Records. These releases mark important steps in his production journey and place his name within a growing network of contemporary electronic artists.
Driven by an ongoing exploration of rhythm, energy and memorable musical hooks, Fuego continues to develop his own perspective on club music. With a sound designed to connect with the crowd while maintaining a clear artistic direction, he represents an emerging voice worth keeping on the radar.
How has your artistic identity developed between tech house and indie dance, and which elements do you consider essential to making your sound distinctive?
I would say my artistic identity is a combination of Tech House and Indie Dance, with a strong focus on groove. What makes my sound distinctive is the powerful basslines and catchy elements that make my tracks memorable. I aim to create music that people connect with, dance to, and get addicted to.
You recently released "Move with the Friction" on ClubView Records. What sonic ideas did you explore in this track, and where does it fit within your development as a producer?
What makes "Move with the Friction" special is the tension I create throughout the track and the way it builds into something powerful. I think this release shows how my sound is becoming more defined and how I’m evolving as a producer.
How much does the audience’s response during your DJ sets influence your studio work? How do you balance dancefloor impact with the freedom to experiment?
When I play my own tracks, I can feel the energy building in the crowd, especially when all the hands go up during the drops. Sometimes, the crowd turns into a sea of camera flashes. Moments like these motivate me to keep developing my own sound, experimenting with new ideas, and staying true to my identity rather than following other artists.
How has the electronic music scene you came up in shaped your approach, and which conventions have you questioned while developing your own artistic vision?
The Israeli electronic music scene has played a big role in shaping my sound. Artists like Darco, Adam Ten, and Mita Gami have been a huge inspiration to me. I really connect with their style, but I believe it’s important to take those influences and turn them into something of your own. For me, it’s about finding my own groove and creating a sound that reflects my identity.
Looking ahead, which aspects of your musical language would you like to explore further, and what will guide your choice of labels and collaborators?
I definitely want to keep exploring the Maccabi House style, but I’m also really passionate about House music. I feel just as connected to it as I do to what I’m producing today, and I’d love to explore that direction in the future. When it comes to labels and collaborations, I’m looking for people who share my passion for music and bring something fresh to the table.
