Rappers React To Infected Mushroom "Heavyweight"!!!

[@erictal19]

Infected Mushroom emerged from the Israeli psychedelic trance scene in the late 1990s. They’re classically trained musicians and write everything from scratch - often delving into other genres like metal, ambient, reggae, and many other forms of electronic music. Everything has their signature psy / trippy homemade synth sounds. Try “The Messenger 2012”, “Project 100”, “Dancing with Kadafi”.

[@zade8586]

DWK doesn't get enough credit, Thank You!

[@shazbotgaming7576]

@@zade8586 Absolutely, It's my favorite song from them. They aren't afraid to do 10 minute songs like Pink Floyd and the lot and I love it.

[@rahbeat9785]

Great suggestions! especially 'Dancing with Kadafi'. an epic mind-bending journe.y.. crazy innovative for it's time as well (2001) don't get me wrong i Love their newer stuff too (2007 onwards). But there's just something unique about that late 90's slightly retro-ish spacey Raw sound that's just hard to replicate in newer material.

[@__Generic]

I'd add the original The Messenger is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. Way ahead of its time when it came out.

[@mashakos5377]

Holy shitttt I can't believe you're reacting to Infected Mushroom!!!!! One of the best Israeli electronic groups. Much love from Israel!!!

Best electronic song of all time, pure art. Hi from México

[@Proxybuster]

Heavyweight by Infected Mushroom is very powerful, hard not to feel something, this is just one of many amazing tracks they produced over 25 years

[@CarsIntoCarsFromCars]

Infected mushroom is great, theyve been it at for around 30 years and have tons of albums packed with songs on level with this, although this is one of if not their most popular. They even have an IM style rap song called "artillery" on the same album :) I hope you guys do more of em, ill be here for all. They visit a ton of genres from trance, edm, dubstep, reggae, rock, metal and a few others

[@boskee]

I'm a fan since mid 2000s. Amazing duo.

[@Abazions]

Yes artillery is a great song

[@MissDillinger1]

I can't believe I forgot about this band, they're so good... another awesome song from them that I recommend is Becoming Insane 😉

[@KP-xn7bq]

Yeah, that was a ride for sure. You have now introduced me to a new band/group I'm gonna check out. Great reaction guys. Looking forward to spiraling out!

[@Casual_Gamer]

Wow this is possibly the best fresh reaction to infected mushroom I've ever seen. You guys were open to something new and reacted honestly on its merits. You guys are legends. Thank you.

[@Vilaa-w-]

I didnt know you guy's reacted to this type of genre! That's pretty dope!

[@bigdavezilla]

The Infected Mushroom songs "Converting Vegetarians", "I Wish", and "Blink" are all fire tracks.

[@supermariojorge4717]

exactly. those tracks are damn good

[@sikliztailbunch]

This is hands down the best music reaction video ever. I love how you just feel the shit and do little to none interruption.

[@bpwn3r]

I used to listen to this band all the time. I kinda forgot about them. Thanks for the review and reminding me of how awesome they are!

[@Playth3record]

In highschool I was playing this loud for my whole class on our breaks with a speaker I hooked to my phone and people were complaining first but then we were all headbanging and vibing all through hahahaha

[@308lonegunman]

Shpongle another good one, Divine Moments of Truth... D.M.T....

[@rippspeck]

The Legend of the Black Shawarma

[@2.7petabytes]

One of their best tunes!!! Very powerful! And a lot of the “guitar solos” done one some of their songs are actually the keyboardist Erez Eisen! He’s a genius! Well, both of them are!

[@foxyhxcmacfly2215]

Been a metalhead all my youth and started to listen and produce more electronic stuff at the end of my teens, house, trance, techno, minimal... Infected mushroom was one of the bands that bridged the gap for me, cool to see people reacting to that kind of sound

[@VoidZRD]

Congrat dude

[@KenBober]

I've never heard of this band, I was thinking the same as smokey when I read the bands name. Need a shot of penicillin lol. This song would be perfect to blast in a black light room on a certain mushroom. Or a grind session while gaming. This pure fire! 👏 👏 👏 to the paytreon member for suggestion this.

[@jacho50]

Bro give it a try they are awesome.

[@KenBober]

@@jacho50 definitely. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It brought me back to 2000 era when I was fresh out of high school and on my own for the first time so I "partied" quite often and would "zone" out to stuff like this. Also brought me back to my early rave years towards the end of the song.

[@gmblnftball]

Project 100 is similar to this. Just like Heavyweight, that song goes into a different tune right around the 4:20 range. You won't be disappointed, headphones are necessary.

[@KenBober]

@@gmblnftball checking it out right now

[@KenBober]

@@gmblnftball wow that song is perfect for a gaming grind session

[@iandavis3599]

What's up guys! This band is new to me. I'm loving it! Can't wait to force this upon friends and co-workers 😄

[@kristaspecht]

Lol

[@rainlee1]

Oh my goodness, this is "tripping balls" kinda stuff. LOVE IT😜😜😜

[@Vilaa-w-]

I think you guys will enjoy reacting to Aphex Twin - Windowlicker. It's a 6 minute instrumental that was extremely influential to it's genre when it came out. Very very different from what you guys listen to, i think it'll be amazing. Also the music video for it would also be nice to watch 😼👍

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

or Beucephalus Bouncing Ball also by him

[@DMcElfresh101]

It’d be awesome if they did the video to windowlicker

[@MandatoryUserName72]

Ooooh Aphex Twin...that would be awesome.

[@Thebotulism]

Come to Daddy is another huge one of Aphex Twin's

[@goose300183]

There's something very "twisted" about Aphex Twin. Every time I listen to AT it gives me an odd, unsettled paranoid feeling. That video certainly doesn't settle me down any lol

[@APEIRON_MUSIC]

Ohhhh shit was not expecting IM from you guys. Awesome. If you ever manage to see them do a full band performance, go see them. Absolutely killer energy live 🤘🏼

[@snikerman98]

Saw a live band set from them 2 years ago, best show I've been to

[@maggotthemadman8142]

One of the best instrumentals of all time.

[@xmgaming2444]

Infected Mushroom just released a new album today! It's called IM25 and I would highly recommend it to get a taste of their most modern sound. Lies and Deceptions was my personal favorite from it.

[@adenlycosky]

Infected mushroom also does live band sets for electronic music. It's one of the best live shows to ever witness. Their library is over 23 years full of amazing music that is transcendent in many ways

[@ARASNshane]

This was one of the first bands I ever got stoned to. Absolutely amazing. If you dig this, you have to check out Telefon Tel Aviv - Sound in a Dark Room. Absolute headphone candy.

[@boogiemane1089]

If yall enjoyed this then you definitely need to check out some of their other songs!!! But no doubt this is fire

[@AmberPearcy]

Well, that was a trip! 😂 I really enjoyed this one, too. Gotta hear more!

[@DaroffApFire]

Love to see that y'all just closed your eyes the entire time and got lost in this epic piece of musical genius.

[@adirsab]

The 'guitar solo' is actually a synth solo played by Erez Eisen

[@hermes_job_observer144]

Please do more IM! I own every album and i can tell you it's one hell of a wild journey. They are musical savants who are classicly trained but are masters of mashing genres and deconstructing them all together. I don't think many producers can fuck with the skill and quality tracks these 2 have been putting out for over 25 years! The complex cacophony of sounds mixed with minimalist tendencies and mastery of harmonious mixing add up to a total ear orgasm. If music was a drug this is subject A1. They're roots are Israeli Psytrance and are well versed in metal/industrial and seemingly all genres of edm, hell music in general. If you'd like some suggestions for reactions to their work, i'd need some kind of prompt or input into what you're interested in hearing because they have an extremely deep and varied catalog and it'd be hard to pick just one especially because each album (which usually max out the 78 min. disc space) are like one giant flowing song. The avenue i found IM was about 10 years ago when i was on an extensively deep dive into everything "psychedelic rock" and "prog rock". Loving EDM of all sorts as well as being steeped in hip-hop since '83, i was amazed to find this fresh sound that seemed inspired by as well as combing everything i loved! They are definitely not underated, but i find the lack of interaction or reactions outside the very large and hardcore base of fans to be dishearting. Reactors only want to react to new stuff or trending songs that will garner views. Please do an IM retrospective and get a playlist going, you won't regret it and for the posterity of their music, we need it. Plus, i'm feeling that you're really feeling them. If not in YT format, i hope you'll at least further explore their music t leisure, in your own time. Peace.🍄

[@ldt_]

You don't want to go down the road of Psy-trance... You'll never go back to anything else ever again lol. I bleed Psy-trance on a daily basis. In my car, while I'm working, while cleaning the house, while brewing beer.

[@randomguydoes2901]

Nation Of Wusses is awesome, The Messenger 2013, U R So Fucked, Saeed, I'm The Supervisor, Elation Station, Riders On The Storm, Love Me 2 Times, also awesome tracks. And more ofc but these are so damn good

[@kristaspecht]

Oh hell ya! That was friggin great!! I love trance type music❤️❤️. Never heard of these guys but now that I have definitely gonna dive into more infected mushroom❤️🤓 thanks guys for the intro to them

[@jacobsvensson8193]

Infected Mushrooms are one of the OG's of psytrance, formed in 1996 and still very active with releasing new music and touring. Seen them 4 times on EDM/trance festivals, always amazing energy in the crowds

[@hotcheese9772]

Got a sub from me!! I adore people who are open minded like this. It’s like learning a new language when you find new music

[@tg8285]

Infected mushroom best band in Israel for trance music of all time I love them grew up on their music and “Heavyweight “ is my favourite song ..I saw them in concert and when this song came on I lost my mind …they usually close the show with this song and u cannot have it better when it’s live in your face😮😮 ❤❤ they are the best!!! If you want another legendary song by them it’s called “Sulliman”…you will not regret a second of it

[@callumpeel2095]

First time watching you guys. Great choice. The whole Vicious Delicious album is epic. Artillery has lots of rap in it. You may not expect rap in their songs, but it's a jam. The album is a journey and a half. Have some mushrooms ready and listen to the whole album if you want an experience. Cheers from Australia.

As i see you faces looked like you woke up from a dream at the song's end. I feel that every time when i listen infected mushroom... it is so calming, relaxing and brainteasing music.

[@OverworkedITGuy]

Love me some Mushroom. Not digging most of the recent stuff, but old school Mushroom is prime And this album, Vicious Delicious, is probably their best overall release. They are some of the absolute pioneers of psytrance. My absolute faves: Herbert the Pervert Becoming Insane Smashing the Opponent Deeply Disturbed Arabian Night On Mescaline Suliman Spitfire

[@SpiralOut8.]

Becoming Insane, Dracul, and Muse Breaks are my faves 👌

[@jambulance]

Their record More Than Just A Name had some good call-backs from their old school days (pre Supervisor), best album they’ve done since Shawarma imo

[@jacobsvensson8193]

Damn, I remember hearing this for the first time during my first mushroom trip, made me an instant psytrance fan

[@Zalixor]

And they just released a new album called IM25 that's absolute fire!

You might wanna check out Artillery from Infected mushroom. Infected mushroom is an israelian duo. In this song they featured some rapp in it.

[@screwgoogle4993]

Project 100, Messenger 2012, and Before. All tracks that will take you on a JOURNEY. And that's the strength of IM. Their tracks evolve over time. I remember listening to Before for the first time, and I saw the entire history of life on Planet Earth from start to finish unfold before my ears. From wiggling bacteria to glowing creatures to an entire underwater civilization, all the way out to space. It's incredible, progressing music. Just when you think you've "figured out" the song, they hit you with a new section. Infected Mushroom is absolutely incredible. Please do more of them, and don't just do the same 4 tracks that reactors are all doing. Their catalog is DEEP. Trust.

[@nickalleye]

Try Shpongle next, something like 'around the world in a tea daze' (studio version) or the 'botanical dimensions / outer shpongolia' suite.

[@sikliztailbunch]

Do a reaction on their "project 100" By the way, infected mushroom are both academic piano players. They studied classical music.

This reaction made me subscribe and explore your channel further. This is the best reaction I have ever seen and in my opinion is what music is all about. It is truly an unlimited source of creativity. If you haven't listened to it already, please react to Project 100 from Infected Mushroom. Heavyweight is a longer journey with more melodies but the tone and change in tempo from Project 100 takes you places you never imagined. Thank you for this.

Kind of a strange song as a starter, I feel like this is kind of IM's dream theater style progressive rock stuff. It has very little psytrance in it though still amazing and interesting.
