A: Ok, Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger, its just the best album made ever. and the work on it,small details ... i think even today its still the best.

 

Q: Other "NOT TRANCE" artists you love?

A: "Dream Theater", they also kinda psychodelic , not for the dance floor but, just listen to it about 10times and you will understand. listen to their last album, "Metropolis Part 2", And "Awake"

 

Q: Tell us your recipe to make a good Infected Track ?

A: First you go to akko and you ask "where is Sa'eed" he is the best HUMUS artist. its actually unreleased artist, making a very underground psychodelic HUMUS. after you eat that you are on a special trip that i cant really explain. then we(duvdev and me) drive back to the studio, and thats the secret.

 

Q: What kind of equipment do you exactly use to make your Tracks ?

A: The "Classical mushroom" album we used mosty NordLead-1,Juno106,Solton MS50, Gina(soundCard),Cubase 3.7,Akai S3000xl(sampler),Dopfer System100,and PLUGINS!!! we didnt use effect machines at all.

BUT TODAY

We got a new MultiEffect called "Orvill/Eventide"/ a New convertor of the analog machine,"Dopfer a-100", and new distortion "Line6-Pod Pro", ho, also "Lyla 24 soundcard" i belive that the sound of the next one will be better then the second and the first album.

A: The best for now i think its SweeserLand, 7-oct,2000 . The worst, i think was in israel "Tzemah beach at teberia, night of love, someone from the orgenizers had to stop the music, and the people were thinking that we stoped the music, so they were throing on us STONES and Bottles(glass bottles), it was not a good expirience.

 

Q: Something to say to people who wanna make music?

A: If you know to play on something, Just make music, Give it a try, its not that complicated. you dont need equipment to do music, there is lots of softwares that are sounding exactly like a real synth sometimes its even better.

 

Q: Something to say to ur fans?

A: 1.Dont throw on us stones if we stop the music,(its usually not our fault)

2.Keep having an open mind, for listening to new things. (even if its not typical trance)

3.Go easy with Drugs, I saw quite alot of people that today are not the same.
