Psy-Trance innovators Infected Mushroom one of the biggest electronic band on the planet trashed Stratus’ beautifully designed space but in the most-sickest way! Additionally noted is the hardcore talent Relentless Beats Turner and Heit chemically mixed together that properly complemented the 5 elements of a perfect event. Infected Mushroom, whose been twice ranked among the world’s 10 best DJs by the bible of the scene, the U.K.’s DJ Magazine, the Israel-bred, L.A. based duo bring a frenetic rock energy to the form. Their explosive show, featuring guitars, live drums, intensely passionate vocals and an ambitious multimedia backdrop, ranks among the genre’s most unpredictably joyous events. And their recordings continually venture where other electronic acts fear to tread.

Saturday night attendees received this and more. Their latest album from Amit “Duvdev” Duvedevani and Erez Eisen have been working for nearly two years on an aggressive new album – their first since 2007’s critically acclaimed Vicious Delicious – for dance-music visionary Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto label. Duvdev describes the as-yet untitled record, recorded at Infected Mushroom Laboratory in L.A. and slated for a June 2009 release, as a return to the pair’s metal roots. Guests include singer Jonathan Davis of Korn, who lends his estimable pipes to the track “Smashing the Opponent.”

Stratus is a fusion of industrial, progressive state-of-the-art design. Custom lighting, intricate attention to detail and creative design give the space an upscale feel within a real converted warehouse. Founding Fathers of Stratus did Phoenix a mystical and priceless service all the while working against all odds, unforeseen set-backs, and the constant ‘Wrench in the War Machines Engine’.

One last note…thank you for a wonderful Full Moon party; most of us noticed and appreciate it ;)~
