| Filo & Peri 'ANTHEM' ft. Eric Lumiere (Official Videoclip) |
 |
Filo and Peri are two of the hottest up and coming
producer and dj talents in the biz. 'Anthem', the
new single by Filo & Milo is a wonderful
combination of smashing beats and very emotional
lyrics and melody.
This is an anthem for the girl that got away
This is an anthem for the world of yesterday
This is an anthem for the rebel of my youth
This is an anthem for the risk of loving you...
Enjoy the video, and this interview by EventVibe
with the talented duo.
Eventvibe founder, Tim Ortiz, was able to spend
time with Dominic Filopei (Filo) & Bo Pericic
(Peri) during a recent tour to promote their
latest CD, "Crowd Control."
Tim: Where are you both from in New York?
Filo: I was born and raised in the Bronx.
Peri: I'm from Westchester, NY and our studio is
in the Bronx.
Tim: How long have you been in the business?
Filo: I've been involved with music since I was 5
years old, but I've really only been in the
business about four years.
Peri: We've been in the business for almost 4
years now, but I have been working on music for as
long as I can remember.
Tim: How did you get in the business?
Filo: We officially got in the business when Armin
Van Buuren signed our first record in 2003.
Peri: Yeah - we got the call on July 17th, 2003
and Armin wanted to sign our record 'Elevation'!
It's an easy date to remember because it happened
to be on my 18th birthday - what a great present!
Tim: Bo, has your age ever gotten in the way of
your goals as a producer/dj?
Filo: Not really. It's a little harder to have
people take you seriously when you're young, but I
don't mind earning respect. I would say that being
a producer/dj has made me grow up quicker because
of all the things we've had to deal with in this
business.
Tim: Dom, a couple of your tracks have been picked
up by Paul Van Dyk's label, Vandit. Tell us about
this please.
Peri: We've been very fortunate to continuously
have our work recognized by the top names in the
scene. Last year Paul Van Dyk picked up a tune we
made with California based rock band Fisher called
'Ordinary Moment'. The record was really
successful for Vandit and they asked us for more.
Our latest production 'Anthem' is a collaboration
with New York based rock singer and good friend
Eric Lumiere. It's catching a lot of buzz and
people are already singing it at all our shows -
we're really excited about that! Just last week at
the Winter Music conference Paul van Dyk, Armin
Van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten all dropped it.
Tim: When you are doing studio work, please
explain the creative process and who tends to get
involved more, in what areas.
Filo: We are involved in all the areas equally.
The case with many duos is that one acts mainly as
the producer while the other is more of a DJ. In
our case everything is split equally and it really
helps us move forward quicker. Sometimes one of us
will put in more work on a certain track but at
the end, everything we do is 50/50. The creative
process is pretty spontaneous and since we have
two systems at our studio, we bang out ideas
pretty quickly. It's almost like an assembly line
sometimes - while one of us is finishing the new
track, the other is coming up with ideas for the
next!
Tim: Where does your musical influence and
inspiration come from?
Filo: My inspiration comes from the rock legends
and their ability to be at the front of the masses
and have such a musical and cultural influence. As
a DJ, I'm starting do the same thing and I have
not had a more gratifying experience than that.
Peri: My dad has always been into electronic music
and I grew up listening to electronic music
pioneers such as Jean Michelle Jarre, Kraftwerk,
etc. That really made an impact on me! I have an
extremely close family and my parents are a
continuous source of inspiration. The
opportunities I've been presented throughout my
entire life is a direct result of their hard work,
and that inspires me to work hard every day. It's
hard not to be inspired when such an amazing
family, girlfriend, and music partner/best friend
(Domenick) surrounds me.
Tim: What should we expect from Filo and Peri in
the next year?
Filo: You can expect Filo and Peri in a city near
you!
Peri: An artist album later this year and some
exciting gigs! We're also starting to work with
Paul Van Dyk and Vandit much more closely.
