Alon Ovnat was the lead singer of the Jerusalem Industrial Rock band Die Welt, who in 1996 published its mythological debut (and farewell) album on the Nana label. YaYa, his partner in Gaza, has been DJing since the early '90s. He is also a visual artist and a video and sound technician. For the pair to start collaborating and concentrate on electronic music was a natural development.

GAZA was born in the beginning of '97, under The Electronic Front project. The duo's first track 'You Sing It', was published in the Electronic Front's collection Xsesa, in 1998, and revealed a sound both original and sharp, aggressive and strange.

GAZA's debut EP was released on the FACT Records label at the end of 1999 and provided a richer and fuller range of the duo's variety of styles and musical directions (electro, dub, industrial, ambient).
