The Press text : Filterheadz = Big Tunes. Period. And this one is no exception. Rising Rocky has all the elements to put the dancefloor on fire. A relentless beat and scorching bass will lead you to the main theme which is based on a rock riff the two brothers wrote when they were still playing rock music in their teen years. Rock On!

Listen here : The Filterheadz 5 Episode 001
1. Fischerspooner : Danse En France (D.I.M. remix)
We always liked Fischerspooner. Played Dave Clarkes remix of “Emerge” a million times in our sets and this tune is great as well. As always, a rocking remix by D.I.M.!
2. Filterheadz : Rising Rocky

3. Mescal Kid : Magic
A new one from Steve Angello's Size label. Simpel but oh so powerful.

The Unstoppable Deadmau5. Another one in the endless stream of cool tunes. Love the melancholic chord progression.
5. The Presets : My People (D.I.M. remix)
Once again, D.I.M. on remix duty here. D.I.M. remixes are absolutely perfect for ripping up the dance floor. We dig it!

Freebie #1 : A few months ago we did a sneaky bootleg of a rather famous track. Like a "Filterheadz vs ...." thing. A lot of the top jocks played this one but we never gave the track an official release... Now you get a chance to get your hands on it. Drop your email in the newsletter sign-up box on the right and we'll email you a link to this secret track :-)
My dearest friends, we have a new single out. We titled this tune "Blue Sky Happiness" because that's exactly the feeling we had in mind when produced this one.
Be our guest and have a listen to both mixes in the soundplayer on the left.
Some words from the press release :
Filterheadz are back with some ‘Blue Sky Happiness’. The Original
Mix has been gathering plaudits across the board over the summer months
(including a ‘Big Tune’ tip from Mixmag), and is now joined by the
brand new Filterheadz’ No Clouds Mix for release on the boys own Love
Distortion label.
‘Blue Sky Happiness’ is a pure feelgood tune.
A delicious blend of exotic atmospherics and serious dancefloor
attitude. It’s classic Filterheadz style for sure, doing what they do
best, and creating another anthemic masterpiece with their second
release for 2006.

As you could read in the "welcome" post, the original idea for this blog is to be a documentary about the making of our debut album. The reason we want to blog about the album is that we think it will keep us focused on the task at hand. Once we go public with the plan, we can't really go back. It puts a bit of pressure on and that's good. Just by typing these words I already feel extra motivated!
So how far are we right now? Basically, we have a title and about 50 half finished tracks.
The title : A good title is important, even if it's just a working title. You gotta give the little baby a name. No, we're not gonna tell you what the title is. Not yet, it's just a bit to soon for that! But it sure will draw attention.
The tracks : Ok, I didn't really count them and I'm sure we have more than 50. We spend a few days going through all the hard-drives and throwing away all the silly and "what were we thinking?"-ideas. Obviously we only want to present you the great stuff... Some ideas are almost finished, others are still in embryonic phase. The range of styles varies quite a bit. Everything from big room stompers to experimental electronica.
Finding the sound for a Filterheadz track is always a bit of an adventure. We have covered a lot of directions in the past : techno, house, progressive and everything in between. So far we have always combined elements from everywhere and sometimes we wonder if that was always such a good idea. Although those combinations gave us the classic Filterheadz sound, we feel that we have to push the boundaries this time. With this album we really want to take a leap forward sonically and go for a wilder and more cutting edge sound.
Curious? So are we. So join us on this journey and we'll discover it together...
