INFECTED MUSHROOM-LIVE PARTY

In 1998, Eisen and Duvdevani began playing together. At first they released a few tracks as Shidapu & Duvdev. These tracks were 'happier' and of 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 chosen to commemorate a disbanded (1989 to 1993) punk rock band of the same name, which Amit had admired

Infected Mushroom -Deeply Disturbed



Infected Mushroom are Erez Aizen 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 is not 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.

The 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 their new album "BP Empire", they have improvised a new soundscape and shown why they are among the top trance acts ever.

Bob Marley Vs Funkstar Deluxe - Sun is Shining



Born: 6 February 1945
Birthplace: St. Ann's Parish, Jamaica
Died: 11 May 1981 (cancer)
Best Known As: The reggae hero who did "Get Up, Stand Up"
Bob Marley was the world's first reggae superstar. He was part of the Jamaican group The Wailers, along with reggae greats Bunny Livingston and Peter Tosh. In the late 1960s and early '70s Marley, a Rastafarian, gained early attention for writing hits recorded by others, including "Stir It Up" (recorded by Johnny Nash) and "I Shot The Sheriff" (a hit for Eric Clapton). But then he came into his own international fame with songs that spoke of politics, religion and life on the streets, including his anthemic "Get Up, Stand Up." A greatest hits compilation titled Legend was released in 1984; it sold millions and earned a reputation as the one reggae album owned by people who own just one reggae album.

Marley's wife, Rita, and his son, Ziggy, have recording careers of their own.
