Moshe Partouche is a serial entrepreneur that has been thriving in the entertainment industry since he first brought the iconic Circoloco music festival to Israel. Circoloco first started to gain traction as an underground dance music festival on the majestic island of Ibiza, it is widely accepted that the popularity of electronic dance music stemmed from Ibiza. As dance music became more and more popular, Circoloco became a mainstream music festival that featured some of the most famous DJ’s, as well as up and coming DJ’s that would become staples in dance music for years to come. Noteworthy DJ’s that have played at Circoloco include Loco Dice, Luciano, Seth Troxler, Damian Lazarus, Peggy Gou, Jamie Jones, Tale of Us, and many more.

Moshe saw a great opportunity to bring Circoloco to his homeland of Israel, as Israel was becoming hotbed for electronic dance music and the extravagant nightlife events that came with this music. Moshe’s creative approach with Circoloco propelled him to becoming one of the most well-known and respected nightlife organizers. As Moshe’s name grew in the nightlife scene in Israel thanks to Circoloco, he began to organize other exquisite and entertaining nightlife events in Tel Aviv, and many other parts of Israel. If you are visiting Israel and looking to indulge in their nightlife scene, make sure to see if Moshe is in charge on the event, it is sure to leave a lasting impression on your experience, the same way it has on all the nightlife enthusiasts that frequent Moshe’s events.

Moshe’s passion for music doesn’t stop with his enthralling nightlife ventures, he is also responsible for creating the Moyo Brothers music label in 2013. The label focuses on the deep house genre, it has become so popular in the last 8 years that it can be found on a number of global streaming services including iTunes, SoundCloud, Ibiza Global Radio, and many more. Moshe is looking to grow his label by adding new music, as he looks to continue the sustained success the label has seen over the past 8 years.

In light of Moshe’s tremendous success in music and nightlife, the entrepreneur is looking to expand his brand into his passion for cinema. Moshe produced two documentaries as a means of getting into the film industry, both of which were met with astounding success. The first documentary he produced was called The Vif, it chronicles the life and last days of the famous fashion designer, Christian Audigier. The documentary was directed by Didier Beringuer and has a star-studded was that features Christian Audigier himself, Michael Madsen, Snoop Dogg, Francois Girbaud, Johnny Hallyday, Daymond John, Don “ED” Hardy, Charles Aznavour, and Stephen Dorff. The documentary was a winner for Best Feature Documentary at the Brazil International Film Festival, Mexico International Film Festival, and the Canada Independent Film Festival. It was the Golden Palm winner at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, and was a winner for Best Cinematography at the Beverly Hills Film Festival.

The Vif was also an official selection at the Harlem International Film Festival, the Roma Cinema DOC, the Glendale International Film Festival, the Newport Beach Film Festival, and many others. It was the winner for the Grand Jury Prize at the Santa Monica International Film Festival, as well as the ARFF Barcelona International film festival. With such monumental accolades from film festivals around the world, Moshe decided to create another documentary that was met with similar success.

American Badass: A Michael Madsen Retrospective was the second documentary Moshe produced, it was featured at the historic Sundance Film Festival. The documentary is centered around Michael Madsen and his journey to becoming one of the most prominent actors in Hollywood. Madsen shares incredible stories about Al Pacino, as well as other incredible stories that would never be available to the general public if not for this documentary. The stellar cast features John Travolta, Ron Perlman, and famous director, Quentin Tarantino. The success of Moshe’s documentary is reflected in his impeccable work ethic, steadfast commitment to quality, and unwavering dedication putting the best possible product into the public eye. He wants to make more documentaries, and aspires to eventually become a director for big time Hollywood flicks. 

Moshe embodies the essence of a serial entrepreneur as he is always looking for opportunities in different spaces. Despite his success in the nightlife industry, he chose to create a music label as well as documentaries to engulf himself in every aspect of the entertainment industry. He is currently looking to grow his music label to new heights, as well as looking to grow his name in the film industry outside of just documentaries. He is also looking to find more venues to create exciting nightlife events that go beyond the scope of Circoloco. Moshe’s unique skillset, drive, and impenetrable self-confidence are they key ingredients which made him the inspirational success story he is today.
