Appearing for the first time in Vancouver,
Infected Mushroom are:
Erez Aizen and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Duvdev). This duo from Israel has rocked the trance world
with each album
release. Their "Gathering" album occupies a place in the "most played trance album" list and is the perfect starting
point for any new hard psytrance. With the album "BP Empire", they have improvised a new soundscape and shown why
they are among the top trance acts ever. The recent release of the Birthday EP (with Barry Sakharof), was only a
teaser of their ingenuity and inventiveness with trance music, incorporating guitars and fluid vocals.
With the release of "Converting Vegetarians", this Israeli duo go a few steps beyond the standard and cough up not
only classical pieces but also a harsh, funky and acidic flavour, making their trance journey an aural blast far
surpassing the norm. They create a massively funkadelic atmosphere complete with experimental twangs, twists and
ambient noises which play alongside deep bass and frantic beats. Add in acidic flavour for another unusual but
highly entertaining take on the electronic / trance genre.
