Name : Jannis Tzikas
Born in : 1983
Location : Stockholm, Sweden
Style : 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.

His first live performance was in late 2003. Since, he's been sending dance floors to space in Sweden and Europe, and soon in South America !

Filteria released his first album "Sky Input" in November 2004 on Suntrip Records, several tracks on compilations in 2005, including Phase3 on Etnicanet, has tracks scheduled with Tranceform and Kagdila, records and trusted Suntrip again for his second album, "Heliopolis" due in January 2006 !


In 2007, Jannis has put a lot of energy in producing his new project's debut album : K.O.B, standing of Kind of Behaviour. Tracks are less melodic and focus more on the organic and weird side of Psytrance. Some tracks are going to be released here and there but we have good hopes Suntrip will get the deal for the full length stuff, that should be released in autumn'07 :)
The third Filteria album is also in the making. As far as we've heard it's gonna be a hell of a trip to acidland! There's no release date defined yet (it should come in 2008, but hush!)
