Rewind back to 2002, Astrix is signed to leading label HOMmega and is introduced to the world with his debut album "Eye To Eye". Things started to roll for Avi Shamilov from that point on, the world wide scene fell captivated with his unique, smart melodic style. Touring massively after the "Eye To Eye" album release didn't leave much studio time for Avi, it took two years to write & perfect his 2nd album, "Artcore" which came out in 2004. "Artcore" raised the bar with groundbreaking achievements if in CD sales, tracks used in movies, video games and TV commercials.
Once Astrix's musical sound got familiarized as his trademark, he turned to invest the years after to developing his DJ persona. Compiling & producing for leading brands such as: "Nu-clear Visions of Israel" (Tip/2003), "Psychedelic Academy" (Hit Mania/2005) and "Astrix & Friends" (DJ mag/2007). In 2009 Astrix's label, HOMmega productions, was the first to release an Astrix digital artist album, on a compact stick flash drive format, "One Step Ahead" (HOMmega/2009)
Evolving into one the world known DJ MAG TOP 100 DJs placed Astrix on the roads for an almost nonstop world wide tour. He rocked festivals across the globe including Dance Valley, SW4, Creamfileds, Love Parade, UAF, Skol Beats, Planeta Atlantida and headlined nights in the best clubs and venues such as Alexandra Palace, Brixton Academy, Pacha, Ministry of sounds, The City, Volume, Nox and so many more which he visited repeatedly .
Over the last couple of years, studio time was a rare commodity for Avi Shamilov, but never the less he always managed to find the extra hours to work on his 3rd studio album for HOMmega. βRed Means Distortionβ is the result of some very late night sessions, everything to reach the perfection he needs to return back to those who were waiting patiently for his 3rd studio album.

Deep Jungle Walk
Astrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They fill you with false hopes
They speak visions from their own minds
The truth is...
Well...
God has mercy on you
They fill you with false hopes
They speak visions from their own minds
Deep jungle tribe
Mushrooms

Full moon

Shamans
Deep jungle tribe
Ah
Deep jungle tribe
(Vocal chops)
They fill you with false hopes
They speak visions from their own minds
Bi onishi
The lyrics to Astrix's song Deep Jungle Walk are a commentary on the danger of false prophets and self-proclaimed spiritual guides. The phrase "Bi onishi" is a Swahili phrase that roughly translates to "it's a lie". The lyrics caution against putting trust in those who claim to have a deeper understanding of spirituality or the universe, warning that they may be speaking only from their own imaginations.
The repeated refrain of "Deep jungle tribe" invokes an image of a primal, primitive culture living in harmony with nature. The mention of mushrooms, the full moon, and shamans all hint at a culture that practices alternative spirituality and relies on natural remedies. However, the cautionary tone of the lyrics seems to suggest that even in these communities, there may be those who would exploit their neighbors' faith and trust for their own gain.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be a warning against those who would manipulate others' spiritual beliefs in order to gain power or control. The use of Swahili and references to a jungle tribe lend the song a worldly, almost mystical air, while the warning contained within is ultimately a universal one.
