“IM30” is the thirteenth studio album by the legendary Israeli electronic music duo Infected Mushroom (Amit Duvdevani and Erez Eisen). The album was officially released on January 30, 2026, via Monstercat.
The record represents a landmark moment for the global electronic music scene, as its title directly references the duo’s 30th anniversary. Founded in 1996, Infected Mushroom have spent three decades pushing the boundaries of psychedelic trance and electronic music, and “IM30” serves both as a retrospective celebration of that journey and as a bold statement about the future of the genre.
The album was conceived as a love letter to the fans who have supported the duo throughout those thirty years. Rather than limiting themselves to a single style, the musicians set out to incorporate virtually every hallmark of the Infected Mushroom sound into one cohesive release.
Amit “Duvdev” Duvdevani described the project as follows:
“When we started in 1996, we could never have imagined that Infected Mushroom would still be here thirty years later. This album is a crazy journey through time. We took the analog aggression and mysticism of our late-90s trance roots, added the heavy guitar energy of our rock-band era, and wrapped it all in the ultra-modern, pristine sound design of today. This is 100% Infected Mushroom.”
Musically, “IM30” is remarkably cinematic and rich in detail. The album features intricate sonic landscapes, rapid-fire rolling basslines, Duvdev’s signature vocals processed through a wide array of experimental effects, and virtuosic classical piano performances by Erez Eisen.
The record received widespread acclaim from both fans and specialized music media for avoiding the pitfalls of nostalgia. Rather than feeling like a compilation of past ideas, “IM30” demonstrates that Infected Mushroom remain at the forefront of electronic music innovation. The album successfully preserves the duo’s unique identity—a fusion of dazzling keyboard performances, crushing guitar riffs, psychedelic trance energy, and cutting-edge sound design—while continuing to push their creative boundaries forward.
As both a celebration of three decades of artistic evolution and a showcase of their ongoing creativity, “IM30” stands as one of the most significant releases in Infected Mushroom’s extensive catalog.
