I NFECTED MUSHROOM:
Infected Mushroom is an Israeli psychedelic trance duo. Formed by Erez Aizen (also known as I.Zen) and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Duvdev) in the city of Haifa, located in north Israel, the duo has garnered a large international fanbase. Infected Mushroom are known for their consistent sonic evolution exemplified by the subsequent albums The Gathering (1999), Classical Mushroom (2000), B.P. Empire (2001), Converting Vegetarians (2003), IM the Supervisor (2004), and Vicious Delicious (2007).
In 2007 Infected Mushroom rose to No.9 in the influential DJmag Top 100 DJs poll, where they were also the highest psy-trance DJs. As detailed on UK website HarderFaster.net (a media partner in the awards who exclusively released the results online at midnight), this was the first time the category had been created, reflecting psy-trance's rising popularity around the world and the huge role that pioneers Infected Mushroom have played in this.

SIMON POSFORD:
Hallucinogen is the stage name of Simon Posford (born 1971), an electronic musician specializing in Goa trance music from England. His early work is as an engineer on the T.I.P.(Raja Ram) and Dragonfly(Youth) labels. His first album, Twisted, was one of the most widely influential electronic music recordings of its time and helped to define the psychedelic trance genre. The follow-up album, The Lone Deranger, only cemented his influence.
From then on, Posford ventured into numerous collaborations with other artists. His most notable projects involve artists such as Raja Ram (Shpongle), Martin Glover (Celtic Cross), [Marc Brownstein]] (Younger Brother), and Prometheus a.k.a. Benji Vaughan (Younger Brother). The vocalists he uses most often in his music are Michele Adamson and Abigail Gorton. Though pooling his talent from a host of worldly influences, many of his fans will attest that he has the "Posford Touch", a certain unmistakable quality to the sound of his music, that is revered by psychedelic and electronic enthusiasts from around the world. He is renowned for his meticulous production skills and the multilayered depth his music has. These skills have led to recent production work outside the genre of Psytrance on the album "Valid Path" by Alan Parsons.
Simon grew up in the village of Chobham, Surrey. While attending the nearby Woodcote school he played keyboards in his first band, "the Electric Light Failure." Later as a teenager he experimented extensively with home recording, first on a 4 track portastudio and later with a Tascam MSR-16 16 track recorder.
He is also the co-founder of Twisted Records with Simon Holtom (previously manager of Youth's Dragonfly label), which is one of the most influential psychedelic trance record labels.
A track by Hallucinogen, called 'Bubble n' Tweak,' is featured in the Gran Turismo 4 video game.
In 2002, In Dub was released, a collection of Ott dub remixes of Hallucinogen tracks.
In recent years Posford has fostered a close relationship with jamtronica band The Disco Biscuits, making appearances at Camp Biscos 6, 7 and 8 as well as producing tracks on The Biscuits' forthcoming album due out in 2008.

FLY AGARIC MUSHROOM:
Amanita muscaria (also known by the English-language common name fly agaric or Fly Amanita) is a psychoactive agaric species of mushroom found commonly throughout much of the world. The quintessential toadstool, it is a large imposing white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Though it is generally considered poisonous, Amanita muscaria is otherwise famed for its hallucinogenic properties with its main psychoactive constituent being the compound muscimol. The mushroom has had a religious significance in Siberian culture and possibly also in ancient Indian and Scandinavian cultures.
