<p>Electronic dance musicians Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani have made a mark in the industry over the years with their music. Coming together as ‘Infected Mushrooms’, the duo were ranked twice among the world’s ‘10 Best DJ’s’ by DJ Magazine and have over 14 million hits on YouTube. <br /><br /></p>.<p>They will be performing at SulaFest which will take place from February 3 to 5. In a chat with Anila Kurian, Amit talks about how the world of electronic music has changed over the years. <br /><br />Do you think your genre of music is relatable to the world? <br />We play trans music which is branched out into various versions. Though it isn’t considered world music, we incorporate concepts from another type of music to make our own. Our style has been received differently across the world and our fans understand us as well. <br /><br />According to you, how has electronic music changed over the years? <br />Oh, it has changed completely. It has come under an umbrella called EDM where all the related party music is. There are many versions of it, each unique in its own way, but it is called EDM. It is not considered individually anymore. <br /><br />How important is it to create a balance between giving the crowd what they want and treating them to new music? <br />It’s very important to find the right balance, to be honest. It is hard to satisfy your audience so you have to work harder each time. We listen to young producers that we like and learn from them. We take inspiration from them but still work with the way we want to be known for. <br /><br />So what is your music-making process like? <br />Our time in the studio is insane. We hear something somewhere and if we find it interesting, we work on it. We then move on to another genre of music and draw inspiration from that. We start with one thing and end up creating something completely different. We then take it with us during the world tours and let our audience be the judge of it. What goes in our album is the result of what the audience likes during the live performances. <br /><br />Do you have days where you don’t want to work with Erez?<br />(Laughs) We’ve known each other for about 20 years now; we’re like a married couple. We do need our time off sometimes but we love working with each other as well. <br /><br />Whenever we are in a situation like that, we leave the studio and come back the next day to pick up where we left off. It’s all fun and games with us.<br /><br />What do you like about India? <br />I’ve come to India several times before and it’s been a great experience each time. I love the country, the people and the food. Even when I am in LA, I visit Indian restaurants. I like everything about the food right from the spices to the way it is prepared. <br /><br />How excited are you to perform at SulaFest?<br />I have a busy week ahead before I come to India for the festival. I am very excited to perform as it is going to be great. I love meeting new people and performing for people who might not know about ‘Infected Mushroom’.</p>
