[2] Nitzhonot blends hard pulsating basses, sometimes referred to as "laserkicks", with the Eastern melodies typical for Indian Goa trance from 1996 and 1997.
The most notable artist from this genre is Eyal Barkan, who released his album Good Morning Israel in 1998.
It became the first trance record that achieved gold status in its home country, selling more than 20,000 copies (bootleg versions accounted for 80,000).
Notable Greek acts included Cyan, Cherouvim, Star Children, Darma, Space Odyssey, and Dementia.
The uplifting scene in Greece has been silent for years, as very few tracks were produced in the late 2000s, but after 2010, nitzhonot gained fame again, especially in Israel.
