In the past years, Jannis Tzikas a.k.a. Filteria has built a solid reputation: known for his crazy climaxes, the man has left every dancefloor upside down. Tracks like Dog Days Bliss & Life Never Sleeps from his latest “Lost in The Wild” album have set a new milestone in Goa music!
We’re not sure, but the Stockholm-based keyboard addict may also have developed a musical split personality through his OCD for analog synths.
And today he’s presenting us “Identity Mash”, the debut album of his K.O.B. side-project: a psychedelic journey, where he has forged a new blend of intelligently crafted structures, percussive rhythms, and melodic booby traps under 303 air-raids!
“Check In” softly introduces the “patient” to his new sonic asylum full of odd sounds and scratchy riffs, but “Folie à Deux” accelerates immediately to a manic dancefloor track that sends you under a heavy load of twisted loops, distorted leads and relentless rhythmics!
“Klecks” follows up with a rant of bubbly sounds and melodic sequences; a true heritage to Australian oldschool goa trance! Now the “Filteria” personality tries to resurface: the very electronic low end of “Grandiose thoughts” marries like a charm with symphonic layers…until K.O.B. takes over and blows you up with a downpour of 303 ‘s! Likewise, “Inculcating Ideas” is set to leave a strong mark in people’s mind: twisted, melodic, and merciless uplifting Filteria climaxes for maximum dancefloor damage!
Hold on, “Identity Mash” may be the strongest track of the album with banging rhythmics, a chaos of analog sounds and a staggering ending that acts a pliers on your mind.
Then, “Cousin It” introduces the forest part of the album with ambiances ranging from howling hypnotic to blatantly acidic !
Finally, “Check Out” concludes the lunacy, as the forest music master Battle Of The Future Buddhas joins K.O.B. on an analog rampage suited to substitute to the best treatments!
