Infected Mushroom is an Israeli psytrance/electronica/psychedelic duo formed in Haifa in 1996 by producers Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani. They are one of the best-selling groups in Israeli music history, in terms of both domestic and international sales.
They employ a variety of musical sources, including acoustic guitars and complex synthesized basses, and their compositions often contain changes of drum beat and tempo. Infected Mushroom's live shows feature vocals and analogue instruments in performances that are set against a multimedia backdrop.
Erez Eisen was born on 8 September 1980 in Qiryat Yam, Israel. He began classical training at a young age, learning to play the organ at age four and studied classical piano at the Haifa Conservatory from the age of eight. Eisen became involved with computerized music at age 11, beginning with Impulse Tracker and later moving to more advanced musical composition software.
Eisen had collaborated with DJ Jörg and other notable psytrance artists by the age of 18, and has released three albums and a multitude of tracks under different psytrance monikers, including Shidapu and Shiva Shidapu.
Erez (Hebrew: אֶרֶז, lit. Cedar), is a kibbutz in south-western Israel. Located in the north-western Negev around 18 kilometres south of Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 333.
Erez is named after the first nucleus that settled the kibbutz. They were members of the Noar Oved nucleus from Petah Tikva. They originally settled on ground in the area of Or HaNer in 1949.
In 1950, they were resettled in its current location on land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Dimra.
The kibbutz has three main industries; agriculture (arable and fruit farming as well as animal husbandry), manufacturing (the "Erez Thermoplastics Products" company manufactures plastic covered materials) and research and development.
