Real names: Erez Eizen, Amit Duvdevani
Israeli Biography: Infected mushroom are Erez Eizen and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Duvdev). Erez was born in 1980 and had a classical music background. He learned how to play the organ at 4 and started toying with music and computers by 11. He started making music at his late grandmothers house with an impulse tracker, which had come into his hands by chance. Erez then had no clue that the music he was producing was in fact trance; he just referred to it as impulse music. At 15, Erez was a member of the legendary Shidapu band, which collaborated with DJ Jorg to form Shiva Shidapu. He released 3 albums and numerous tracks under these names. Now when he isnt working with Duvdev, he also releases solo tracks under the name I-Zen. Duvdev, born in 1974, has a similar musical background. He played the piano for about 9 years, before he took a turn towards new wave/ punk rock. He played keyboard and wrote most of the material for a local band near Haifa known as Enzyme. One of the bands that Duvdev played with was a punk rock band named Infected Mushroom. In 1991, a week before he had to join the army, Duvdev went to his first trance party. That experience changed his life and from that time onwards all he could think of was trance. After spending a year in India, he decided to make music himself. He worked with Roy, a Shidapu member, on 4 tracks but never actually got around to releasing them. Soon after this, he started working with Erez. Together they released a few tracks as Shidapu & Duvdev, which were more on the happy and simple side of trance. They then started concentrating on their new project using a more percussive drum with whiplash kicks and mellow grooves calling it "Infected Mushroom", from the punk band. Infected 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 listener along with Hallucinogens "Lone Deranger". With their new album "BP Empire", they have improvised a new soundscape and shown why they are considered among the top trance acts ever.
