On ‘Ada,’ Eshach steps into the spotlight with a debut EP that feels both deeply personal and quietly confident. Blending cinematic atmospheres, hypnotic grooves, and emotive storytelling, the Karakol release introduces a producer shaped by years of behind-the-scenes work in sound design, film composition, and collaboration with artists like Eitan Reiter. From ambient openings to Afro-tinged rhythms and melodic house closers, ‘Ada’ reads like a carefully written first chapter – inviting listeners into a world where club music and narrative coexist. We sat down with Eshach to explore the journey behind the EP, his creative evolution, and what lies ahead.

WWD: ‘Ada’ is your debut solo EP, but clearly not the work of a newcomer. What made this moment feel like the right time to step forward under your own name?

I realized that tracks released into the world teach you more than tracks sitting in a drawer. Learning and exploring sounds is the whole point for me.

WWD: The EP feels very cinematic, almost like a short film told in four scenes. Do you think in narratives when you’re writing club music, or does that storytelling emerge later?

I think the music is coming out like this because I always try to be an observer, to live life like watching a film from the outside.

WWD: ‘Intro (Bingin)’ sets a quiet, emotional tone before the grooves arrive. How important is atmosphere for you when opening a record – or even a DJ set?

It wasn’t planned. I wrote this track while I was in Bingin, Indonesia, during a time when I felt love for music. It simply felt right to open the EP with that feeling.

WWD: The title track ‘Ada’ balances hypnotic movement with subtle emotion. What were you chasing emotionally when you wrote it? Was it a feeling, a memory, or a place?

This time it was a place, Givat Ada. I lived there and one day the land owner told me I needed to get out of the house. I wrote it on the same day.

WWD: ‘Am I Here’ leans into afro house rhythms and organic textures. What draws you to percussion-driven music, and how do you keep it feeling soulful rather than functional?

 I love to dance, so if I dance in the studio it’s a good sign.

WWD: ‘Piantito’ closes the EP on a tender, melodic note. Do you see it as a love track, a farewell, or something more open-ended?

I felt love on the day I wrote it. 

WWD: You’ve worked extensively on soundtracks for animations and short films. How has composing for visuals shaped the way you approach arrangement and pacing in club music?

It happens naturally. Like I said, I try to observe life like a film and don’t take it too heavily, it helps with the “bad days” and that perspective naturally shapes how I build music and listen to it.

WWD: When translating these cinematic ideas into a club setting, what excites you most about performing your own music live?

Seeing something that started just as a feeling in the studio turns into something other people can feel on the dancefloor and gives them the opportunity to explore it together.

WWD: ‘Ada’ feels like an introduction rather than a destination. If this EP is chapter one, what kind of journey do you hope listeners are about to step into with you?

I don’t know, but the plan is to keep making music and share it. 

WWD: Thanks for the chat 🙂
