Crazy melodic psychedelic trance

Forget about stereotyped formatted boring Psytrance, forget about the repetitiveness, if you're addicted to melodic mornings, twisted unreal melodies and crazy climaxes, Filteria has the truly melodic blasting sound you're looking for !

Jannis "Filteria" is a producer from Stockholm, Sweden.
His first contact with psychedelic music was in 1996 after buying some Goatrance compilation. He got amazed by the energy of the music and slowly started buying equipment to make something of his own.
After 5 years of tweaking and playing around with midi, he bought himself a new computer and started this psychedelic project in 2003.

As an artist he tries to keep the true spirit of psychedelic trance by having lots of melodies and sound-layers. All his tracks have at least 3 melodic climaxes. He has been strongly influenced by the sound of 96-97 especially by the Italian maestros Etnica-Pleiadians but he found his "Filteria style" and keeps it up to date.


Filteria released his first album "Sky Input" in November 2004 on Suntrip Records, several tracks on compilations in 2005, including Phase3 on Etnicanet or apsara on Suntrip. Naturally he trusted Suntrip again for his second album, "Heliopolis" released in January 2006 ! Both these albums were highly acclaimed in the scene.

In 2007, Jannis put a lot of energy in jumpstarting his new project: K.O.B, standing of Kind of Behaviour. Tracks are less melodic and focus more on the organic and weird side of Psytrance. His tracks are regularly released here and there, but Jannis is still searching in new directions before giving a go to a full length album.

Filteria chose 2009 to deliver his third studio album “Daze of Our  Lives” after 3 years of sonic research and dancefloor live-testing. Eight tracks showing more than ever the melodic virtuosity of the Swedish maestro and his new wondrous production skills: More innovation, better production, and a new definition of Goatrance!

At Christmas the same year, he finally released a compilation of his best live & unreleased tracks for his fans and collectors.

 

Since his first live performance in late 2003, Filteria has been sending dance floors to space literally throughout the world, including majors festivals such as Universo Parallelo, Full Moon, Aurora, Boom.
