Consider their global chart success and you begin to gain the sense of scale New York based production team Filo and Peri are achieving. Having conquered the number one spot on the Billboard dance plus an entry into the UK National Top 40, Filo & Peri continue to surprise to the upside. To think this is only the beginning for America's number one trance producers makes for a very exciting time in their lives. Their debut artist album "Nightplay" hits shelves in November with the help of Paul van Dyk, Vandit & Unknown World Management, and Vandit Records.
"The creation of our album was a winding journey full of obstacles to overcome. We were almost done with the first version of "Nightplay" a year and half ago. During the final stages our entire studio burned down and we lost all of our work - it was devastating." regards Bo. Domenick chimes in, "we were out of commission for three months until things could be re-built During this I was diagnosed with a rare tumor on my voice box that had to be surgically removed. The case was published in many medical journals but thankfully everything went ok!" "We had to stay positive," Bo interjects "and work our way back - day in and out. Everything happens for a reason and this twist of fate motivated us to create another even better album There's something here for everyone; from mainstream listeners to the hardcore clubbers. The emotions are very real - this is who we are" Dom finishes things off , "we covered a lot of ground and expored many sounds. A lot of our success comes from thinking outisde the box - taking risks with new ideas and combining them with something accessable. You can listen to the songs at home, and rock them in the club too which is very important to us. Ultimately, this is how the dance scene will grow and continue to attract new listeners."
Outside the studio Filo & Peri have been conducting business as usual playing in the best nightclubs across the world. From Amnesia in Ibiza to the far reaches of Luxy in Taiwan and back in their home country at Nocturnal Festival, their blend of euphoric trance, driving techno, and exclusive edits and mashups is winning them an international army of fans. Whether itβs banging trance beats or soaring vocals, not a body stands still when they take control of the dance floor.
"When we DJ its all about being a unique experience - we play many unique tracks that other DJ's dont play. Too many artists play it safe and our fans come to see us because they know they will get something special and different," explains Domenick. "I think the best way to describe our DJ style is, 'prime time.' We are both high energy individuals with a unique taste that comes through in our sets. Just like our productions, there is something for everyone we DJ. Whether it's the moment we turn of the music to hear 50,000 people singing back our songs or massive build ups that blows the roof of the event, that is what people come to see us for" concludes Bo.
It is obvious that Filo & Peri have come a long way from their humble beginings. Having built up a solid catalog of productions throughout the years on the biggest labels around the world, Filo & Peri are equally respected by the top players in the industry. With unending support from Paul van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, and Armin van Buuren, Filo & Peri are bringing American dance music to the forefront of the dance scene.
It has been an amazing year for the boys from New York and the duo are poised to grow with an expanding team leading bigger shows across the world while growing their global presence in the new social media driven era.
Look for"Nightplay" November 4th, 2009 on VANDIT Records.
The sky is the limit for these two talented DJ/Producers and with 2010 just around the corner, you canβt help but believe this will be the year Filo and Peri return fully to the forefront of the Electronica dance market. With all the right pieces in place, one can only witness and enjoy.

Ashley
Filo & Peri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stacked up from lies to cover her,
That no one could see through.
You played it dumb
Waiting for her last day to come,
So you could breathe again.
Tell meβ¦
Have you been lost?
Have you been jaded?
All you loved and all you hated,
It's all on you you now.
Suddenly white, suddenly colder
To a world that you were sold in.
Torn in two,
Now it's all on you.
Covered in dirt,
Stacked up from lies to cover her,
That no one could see through.
You played it dumb
Waiting for her last day to come,
So you can breathe again.
Have you been lost?
Have you been jaded?
All you loved and all you hated,
It's all on you you now.
Suddenly white, suddenly colder
To a world that you were sold in.
Torn in two,
And now it's all on you.
The lyrics of Filo & Peri feat. Aruna's song "Ashley" tell a story of a woman who has been through a lot of trauma and pain, and the burden of it is weighing down on her. She is covered in dirt, which symbolizes the lies and deceit that have been piled up to hide her pain, and no one can see through it all. The person who is addressed in the song has played it dumb, waiting for Ashley's last day to come so that they can finally breathe again. This suggests that the person has been in a toxic relationship with Ashley, but has not had the courage to take action and end it.
The chorus of the song asks Ashley if she has been lost and jaded due to all that she has experienced. Everything she has loved and hated is all on her now, and the world that she was sold in has suddenly become white and colder. This indicates that Ashley has lost her sense of self and her place in the world, and is struggling to find a way out of the darkness. She is torn in two, and the weight of her pain is now all on her.
Overall, "Ashley" is a powerful portrayal of the pain and trauma that can result from a toxic relationship. The lyrics are poignant and emotional, and the storytelling is evocative and compelling.
