The Flash Brothers debut on the Broadcast! – The 3 brothers - Ruven, Ilan and Shmuel Flaishler are one of the pioneers of house/progressive, tech house & electro house music in the Israeli dance music scene. They are situated today in Tel Aviv, but originally from the isolated town of Nazareth in Israel (where Jesus was born). But there's no room for sibling rivalry in this trio as they all share the same passion for producing quality music. As teenagers at school, they used to listen to the most upfront music in all genres, especially electronic. Their venture into the world of dance music moved forward seriously when Ruven studied to become a sound engineer and producer at the leading school of music in Tel-Aviv, while Shmuel focused in computers and Ilan was strongly into clubs, labels and DJing. It was only a matter of time before they set up their own professional studio in Nazareth and afterwards in Tel Aviv. Their big break came in 1997 when they met DJ Choopie, who signed them to his label Agnosia Records right after listening to the first demo he received from them.

Initial success worldwide came in 98 when one of Flash's earlier productions 'Amazonas' was signed to Germany's label Dos or Die and backed by DJs such as: Tiesto, Scott Bond, John Kelly, Brandon Block, and Graham Gold, to name a few. Another one followed in the Netherlands’s under TBN with 4-track ep on the progressive trance tip. Afterwards the brothers released their first solo artist album "Flash" as a double 19 tracks mixed cd album on Agnosia records in 2000, which counted as the first Israeli club music artist album in the country. The biggest highlight for the brothers’ career came out in the beginning of 2001 by signing their tracks to Perfecto Records and Bedrock Records.

Their much anticipated UK / Worldwide mix cd compilation on Silver Planet has been out since February called "Flash Brothers presents Fear Of A Silver Planet 2" and they are the first Israeli electronic artist to release a mix compilation on a UK label. The brothers had a great year in 2004 with several projects including a remix of The Eurythmics and a special WMC Miami anthem called ‘amen’ signed to Oxyd records and the UK dance label ‘Direction’. ‘Amen’ is considered to be one of the top 20 dance anthems of this summer in Ibiza!

Moreover the guys also have just been voted as #71 on DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs of 2004.

Niklas Harding returns to the Broadcast! – His interest for electronic music was prompted by the "Magik" album series. DJ Tiësto showed all the beauty inside the music with those releases, and Niklas became addicted on the spot!. After his best friend, Manson, taught him the basic skills of turntablism, he started to spin himself on several internet radio stations - he is on his way to the top.

Niklas likes to build up his sets in order to tell the audience a story of music - from banging progressive tunes to melodic trance tracks. So don’t expect him or the crowd to stand still, while jumping into the journey of music.

Niklas has played at the biggest clubs in Denmark (Gorgeous), and is a resident at one of the leading events in Denmark, Futureclub. As well as being resident at one of the biggest regular club nights in Finland called Iglu. He is a resident at the most popular internet radio stations, TranceAirWaves, and DI.fm and has also appeared on Markus Schulz's Global DJ Broadcast.
