TRANCE AMERICA
Last year, New York natives Domenick Filopei and Bo Pericic, or more widely known as Filo & Peri, dominated the dance floors and airwaves with one of the biggest trance anthems. The aptly-named �Anthem�, a collaboration with singer/songwriter Eric Lumiere, was released under Paul van Dyk�s Vandit Records.
True to the laws of the music world, the most popular songs are sometimes the most hated ones too. Even though �Anthem� got many rave reviews, it was one of the most hated tracks among many trance fans. But Filo & Peri aren't worried. �It made it to #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart and the UK Top 40 so obviously a lot of people liked it," says Peri. "Our fan base increased and we get the crowd going wild every time we play it. Until that stops happening, I�m not going to believe what the haters have to say.�
Filo & Peri have just completed recording their debut artist album, but are keeping mum about the details until the time is right. What we know so far is that it will be released towards the end of the year and will feature more collaborations with Eric Lumiere. The timing for the release couldn�t be more perfect for these two New Yorkers. With America�s famous trance duo Gabriel & Dresden out of the picture, Filo & Peri have more opportunity to be USA�s best trance music export. The continent that has long been resisting the insurgence of trance music is now more receptive, thanks to the influence of big name trance DJs like Tiesto.
It makes life a little easier for Filo & Peri, especially when most New Yorkers are known to be house music fans. But this has never discouraged them. �We never change our set style to fit into the New York dance music culture; we play what we usually do�trance," explains Peri. "The thing about New York is that they focus on the top names of the scene. As far as trance goes, Ti�sto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk and Ferry Corsten are the main people that actually come up with good shows in New York. But the trance scene is growing in other parts of the US, especially the West Coast.�
For Filo & Peri it's not about selling millions of records, but rather spreading dance music to the masses; thus making it mainstream. But going mainstream doesn't mean the music has to be compromised. "It upsets me when people think that when a scene heads to commercialism the music sucks," says Filo. "Good music is good music and it shouldn�t be judged by the amount of exposure it gets.�
In fact, Filo & Peri believe that going mainstream helps the dance scene flourish. �The way we see it is that the bigger the dance music scene, the more opportunities for promoters and party organisers to bring in a lot of lesser-known artists," Filo adds. "Going mainstream would mean more money for the organisers to spend on events and obviously, there would be more people coming to dance gigs."
Another factor that makes a good track is lyrics the public can identify with. �If you look back at all the popular songs that have been released�mainly the classics�you will see it�s the lyrics that everyone holds on to. The actual song combined with emotional elements and great lyrics make it whole," observes Peri. "Music is an expression of emotions so that�s how we approach our music-making."
When Filo & Peri make music, it's not about using the latest software that's currently in the market. The duo have stayed loyal to their Logic 5, which has been redesigned and upgraded several times since it first launched years ago. One thing that�s planned to be different though are their sets, which will see them combining DJing, producing and playing live music. �We�re just planning on trying a couple of songs first and see where we can go from there," enthuses Filo. "There are just so many trance tracks that can be translated and given a full live band treatment, and we really hope that we can finally use our talent in instruments to good use.�

If you knew what an anthem was you wouldn't be making fun of that anthem called "Anthem." 
Re: write up in junk magazine with filo and peri
thanks for keeping "trance" music alive and for working so hard to spread dance music to the masses, Filo & Perry
why don't they understand that after the success of that horseshit gay pop sing-a-long song of theirs, all their credibility is gone?

LOL at the trance bashers....i dont see whats wrong with the anthem, its a good song that gets the crowd going, some of u are truly dumb if u think its a rock song just b/c it has guitar elements in the song. it may not be a defining song for what trance is and it may not even have that much of a trancey sound, but its still a decent tune.

Filo & Peri ft. Fisher - Closer Now.
prob both of their best tracks. Not too fond of Fishers new jam. Would like to see something like that again from the boys. Until then, I'll just think that they are making music for the girlees.
Only Filo & Peri track that got me moving was the BOOTLEG (not release later) of the Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin'
