Infected Mushroom: OLD SCHOOL LIVE SET at Life Festival 2010
Infected Mushroom: OLD SCHOOL LIVE SET
“Infected Mushroom” is an Israeli psychedelic trance (psytrance) DJ/LivePA duo who have attained significant popularity from the late 1990s to the present day.
Formed by Erez Eisen (also known as I.Zen) and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Duvdev), in Haifa, Israel, the duo have earned a large international fan base. “Infected Mushroom” are known for their consistent sonic evolution exemplified by their albums: “The Gathering” (1999), “Classical Mushroom” (2000), “B.P. Empire” (2001), “Converting Vegetarians” (2003), “IM the Supervisor” (2004) ,”Vicious Delicious” (2007) and their newest release “Legend of the Black Shawarma” (2009)’
In 1998, Aizen and Duvdevani began playing together. At first they released a few tracks as “Shidapu & Duvdev”. These tracks were ‘happier’ and on the simpler side of trance. Later on, they formed the duo “Infected Mushroom” and started working on their first album. The name “Infected Mushroom” was taken, without permission, from a disbanded (1989 to 1993) punk rock band of that name also of Israeli origin, which Duvdevani knew and saw perform at a concert in Israel.
1999’s “The Gathering” was the breakthrough debut album for “Infected Mushroom”. The album featured a dark, rhythmic atmosphere exemplified in the song “Psycho”, which gathered much acclaim and popularity. This album was one of the first albums to bring Israeli psy-trance to more ‘mainstream’ audiences, and contributed to the gradually growing popularity of the genre world-wide.
