Analog Pussy are Jiga and Jinno, a Girl/boy trance duo, Now Located in Germany. Jiga was born in Jerusalem, and learned to play bass guitar at 15. Jinno was born in Uruguay and moved to Israel at age 4. He studied music theory and played trumpet at his early childhood. The two met in 1997 and formed ‘Analog Pussy’.

A meeting of minds

In her teens, Jiga played bass in punk bands. She wanted more control “So I bought a cheap synthesizer and programmed all the melodies, basses and drums I had in my head"^{[citation needed]}. She heard about a synthesizers freak called Jinno, who was experimenting with noises & sounds from age 16. He built a studio in his parents’ storage room and produced music 18 hours a day. After a long phone conversation the two met and hooked their equipment together to see what cool noises they could make. Finally in 1997 they formed Analog Pussy - making up a name they felt was shocking and funny nonetheless.

The world wide web

From the beginning, Analog Pussy had a close relationship with the cyber world. Their first tracks were available on the web as MP3’s, hours after they were finished. This helped them to build a huge following with no album release. Later on, when they headlined the charts on MP3.com, their music was downloaded over one million times.

The release

1999, Coming back from their first European tour - in which they'd played to over 30,000 people, they signed with a German label and released their first album. ‘Psycho Bitch From Hell’ sounds like noises from a space ship that's had LSD poured into its engines! With Melodic, High tempo tracks such as ‘Go Wacko’ and ‘Psycho Bitch’ ,a paraphrase on the Sex Pistols in ‘Anarchist’ and ‘Fight To Trance’ - which became a popular track to play when parties got raided by the police

Independence

The duo never got a manager and took care of the business aspects themselves, spending all the money they earned on building their studio. In 2001 they relocated to Germany and started their own record label ‘AP Records’ - whose first release was their second album, ‘Underground’. To the audience's surprise, this album was entirely different than the first. Precise & unfussy ambiance, dry groovy beats and soaring techno sounds. That was the first sign for their tendency to break away of rules and expectations.

Sex, Drugs and Psychedelic Trance

In mid 2004 they released their third album – ‘Trance 'N Roll’. The album is the closest yet to a live Analog Pussy show. The songs feature live instruments, Hard rock guitar riffs and vocals. Trax like ‘Psycho Punko’, where Jiga returns to her punk roots, ‘Trance N Roll’ paraphrasing on Smoke on the water, and their dance floor hit ‘Future’, conveying a positive message ‘We are the world, we are the future’

Analog Pussy has played 'live' in most parts of the world: Germany, UK, Japan, Mexico, USA, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Switzerland, Spain, Russia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Belgium, Austria, Argentina and Chile.

An Analog Pussy live show is energetic, has the feel of a powerful rock concert, and is often an experience that people talk about for years. With Jiga on bass, cello, midi-drums and vocals, and Jinno manipulating synthesizers, a laptop and mixer ala Brian Eno, the duo creates a wall of sound that can not be denied. Analog Pussy also makes the audience an active and important part of the show.
