As featured on Paul Oakenfold’s recent compilation “Nevermind the Bollocks…here’s Paul Oakenfold”.


A collaboration with Paul Oakenfold is always going to be a newsworthy item but when two headliners with roots firmly in the Goa trance scene come together……the excitement levels get turned up to eleven!

To pioneer your own sub genre in dance music today is no easy task and yet this is exactly what the hugely popular Infected Mushroom have done over the last 14 years - spearheading the Psychedelic Trance movement.

With nearly 700,000 fans on Facebook eagerly waiting to hear what the band will do next, it comes as little surprise that Infected Mushroom have racked up well over 14 million hits on Youtube, sold hundreds of thousands of records, consistently ranked highly in the DJ mag top 100 poll, sold out countless arenas with their explosive live show, or that members of The Doors and Janes Addiction are among some of their recent high profile studio collaborators.

Paul Oakenfold and Infected Mushroom’s single “I’m Alive” is a mesmerizing blend of killer acid lines, infectious trademark vocals from front man Duvdev and a hook that has literally whipped crowds into a frenzy the world over at both Paul and Infected’s live shows.

On the remix the super talented Sonic Element stamps his own trademark liquid trance sound on the package, as does Perfecto Fluoro fav Magnus. On the back of his killer remix of “Birds” that Paul Oakenfold has been hammering for the last 6 months - breaks pioneer Line of Sight was recruited to give what is sure to become a classic Fluoro sounding mix and up and coming psy producers System Nipel complete the package nicely with a version aimed at the purists.

We’re completely Infected. Come too close and you will be too.




Dimitri Kechagias review: Paul Oakenfold is a real legend and he is the one that the majority of young hopeful djs aspire to reach and follow his path. His brand new release coming from his very successful compilation Nevermind the Bollocks…here’s Paul Oakenfold is a very dynamic psy influenced trancer with the superb Infected Mushroom at the vocal front. I'm Alive is destined to become an anthem not only for psy trancers but also for the melodic uplifting fans as the superb Sonic Element provides a superb feel good energetic melodic floating and really well thought remix that takes advantage of the powerful rockish vocal but remains quite dark close to the original atmosphere. Line of Sight provide the breaks version that sounds travelling and grooving perfect to include  as a starting or ending track in your set. Magnus Dub version use less of the vocal with bouncing beat in the  melodic electro progressive trance style. Not a peak time version but perfect to keep the dancefloor on the move.   It's definitely  quite playful and fresh sounding too. The package of remixes will satisfy any trance fan out there without delays.
