#6 Feat. Banner in Indie Dance

20 marks a defining moment in Eitan Reiters musical journey: a two-decade retrospective distilled into twenty pieces that trace his evolution through his solo work under Eitan Reiter, the explorations he developed as Out of Orbit, and a wide network of collaborations with artists such as Patrice Bäumel, Simon Posford (Shpongle), Infected Mushroom, Echo, Red Axes, Noga Erez, Sebastian Mullaert, Extrawelt, A. Balter, PRZ, Sandman, Shulman, and Perfect Stranger. These collaborations sit alongside the earliest chapter of his story — his rise as one half of the duo LOUD with Kobi Toledano — a period that laid the foundation for the expansive sonic world he would later shape. Far from a conventional compilation, the album represents Reiters most formative creations, studio milestones, remixes, and rare live versions, tracing his artistic trajectory with uncompromising clarity. Released on his label Impulse, it captures both where he has been and where he is heading. For Eitan, 20 represents the first stride of a new creative run, with a fresh wave of music already on the horizon. The vinyl edition gives the release special significance: a curated selection pressed exclusively for this format, making it a standout item for collectors. Reiters musical path, shaped during a period of rapid shifts in underground electronic culture, has remained distinctly his own. While the world changed its technology, communication, and even the ways we listen, his music has only grown more resonant. Hearing his earlier and later pieces side by side blurs linear time and taps into something essential — a musical intuition that feels constant despite changing contexts. Choosing the final twenty was difficult, but Eitan settled on the works that had genuinely stood the test of time and remained constant companions throughout his journey. This continuity is especially evident in the pieces that document his creative dialogue with other artists. Patrice Bäumels reimagining of Eat You intensifies the tracks subtle tension. Reiters version of Infected Mushroom and Yahels Electro Panic transforms a Psy-Trance classic into a bold, 80s-inflected Indie Dance cut. Echos vocal performance on X-Vision deepens the tracks emotional impact. Red Axes transform the psytrance piece No Disco by Out Of Orbit and Shpongle into something quite the opposite of its name, infusing it with their signature dark-disco style. Extrawelt bring cinematic weight to Ups & Downs, while Noga Erezs Worth None becomes a textured and exploratory re-envisioning in Reiters hands. His collaboration with Sebastian Mullaert on Dissolve displays hypnotic electronica, and the teamwork with Simon Posford on Seagulls Pt. 2 reveals a shared pursuit of depth, atmosphere, and sonic curiosity. The album concludes with Underwater, a solo piece that returns the listener to a place of stillness after more than two hours of movement, reflection, and transformation. Its presence carries particular emotional weight: Underwater was also the opening track of Eitans very first album. Here, it reappears as a closing chapter — completing the circle while gently inviting the journey to begin again. 20 stands as both a summation and a renewed starting point: a portrait of an artist who has grown, adapted, and experimented without losing sight of the emotional core that has defined his work from the beginning.
