Infected Mushroom

Starting as a double act from Israel, excelling any other Israel-born musicians in the charts, Infected Mushroom only achieves when it comes to trance or psytrance.

Erez Eisen, 8th September 1980, in Kiryat Yam, Israel. At young age, he learnt how to play the piano and organ, but at 11, he had started to use digital music trackers and then started using DAWs to compose his music. Before he had turned 18, he had already collaborated with many different psytrance artists.

Amit Duvdevani, or “Duvdev”, 7th November 1974, had also learnt piano at an early age of 7, but transitioned to rock music at 16. His background is similar to Erez Eisen, which is what led them to meet and team up.

Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani teamed up in 1996, and since then, have done many albums and singles.

Their fame came from psytrance being already popular, but what they brought to the table was Israeli psytrance. Their music then was innovative at that time (and their music nowadays is also innovative nowadays) which contributed to rolling the ball for them.

In 2004, they moved their HQ to Los Angeles in California, and two guitarists joined them: Erez Netz and Thomas Cunningham. Not much information is available on either of them, Erez Netz has a YouTube channel though.

Rogério Jardim, a percussionist, also joined in 2007, and what is certainly known is he has experience playing drums. He says so himself.

In their music, there is quite an abundance of variety from many genres. This makes them a very collaborative group.

They have collaborated with:

Kelsy Karter – Now Is Gold.

Pegboard Nerds – Nerds On Mushrooms.

Savant – Savant On Mushrooms and Rise Up.

And have released Spitfire and an album Head of NASA and the 2 Amish Boys under the renowned record-label Monstercat.
