│ : : │
│ Stalwarts of the Danish scene for sometime Frank E, Peter Candy and Ian │
│ Ion started working together in the early 90s. Frank and Peter had made │
│ their names as DJs, influenced throughout the eighties by bands such as │
│ Kraftwerk, Front 242, Tangerine and Nu Beat when the pair met the │
│ producer Ian Ion, known for his work with The Overlords. After releasing │
│ their first single on Wheres The Party Records and a follow-up on Peter │
│ Candys own Outloud Records, Koxbox came to the notice of DJ Sven Vaeth │
│ who signed them up to his seminal Harthouse label, who released six │
│ singles before the first Koxbox album Forever After. The album was │
│ widely recognised and increased the band's profile considerably. With │
│ the success, Koxbox decided to try out their material in front of a live │
│ audience and the unit had their debut together with house act Fluke at │
│ The Blitz in Denmark. After this experience the London house-boys had to │
│ spend quite some time recovering from post-psychedelic stress symptoms. │
│ In 1997 Koxbox decided to sign with the London electronica label, │
│ Blueroom Released and in November 1997 the album Dragon Tales was │
│ released. Dave Fowler pretty much summed up the reaction to the album in │
│ Muzik magazine; "Probably the most in-yer-face psychedelic outfit ever, │
│ with the possible exception of Brian Jones and his nomadic Moroccan │
│ tribesman circa 1967, Danish floor fillers Koxbox are not know for │
│ pulling any punches."The same year saw Koxbox remixes of Juno Reactor │
│ and Slinky Wizard and at the same time Frank'e and Ian formed the band │
│ Psychopod which released a couple of successful singles on T.I.P. │
│ Records. The following year of 98 was a year of change for Koxbox, Peter │
│ Candy left the band and Frank and Ian spent most of the year working on │
│ film music and a new album. In the summer of 99 after some exciting gigs │
│ all over the world and after Frank'e having his first child, Koxbox put │
│ the finishing touches on a new album The Great Unknown. The Great │
│ Unknown was a radical departure from the known Koxbox style, slower and │
│ more funky, but retaining the crystalline production and exquisite │
│ application of state of the art technology for which the band is known. │
│ With the album in hand the duo went to the new successful German trance │
│ label, Novatekk, who signed them immediately.The Great Unknown went on │
│ to become one of the best selling psy-trance albums of the new │
│ millennium, backed with a number of gigs all over the world that │
│ established Koxbox as one of the leading bands on the scene. And with │
│ the following 12/CDM A Major Problem in Australia, they broke into new │
│ markets with a variety of remixes in a progressive style.After the │
│ success of The Great Unknown, Frank E and Ian set out to work on the │
│ Psychopod project and give it a new spin. After the demise of T.I.P. │
│ Records, they decided to take the project in a new, more club oriented │
│ direction, while still retaining the original sound breaker concept. So │
│ the twosome decided to change the name to Saiko-pod. Saiko meaning great │
│ or the highest in Japanese. In 2000 and 2001 a number of tracks were │
│ released on different compilations to mark the beginning of a new style │
│ from the Koxbox lab.In the beginning of 2002 the first Saiko-pod album, │
│ Phutures and Options was finished and licensed to Spiral Trax (Sweden), │
│ Solstice Music (Japan) and Sound Sorcery (Mexico), thus securing that │
│ audiences all over the world are able to find the tracks theyve enjoyed │
│ on the dance floor in their local record shop. While finishing Phutures │
│ and Options, Frank E and Ian have been building new studio facilities in │
│ their hometown of Copenhagen and the cover of the album features a │
│ picture of the studio command centre. From this place comes 74 minutes │
│ of intelligent trance and downbeat that builds on the Koxbox tradition │
│ for punch and innovation.Following the release of Saiko-pod is a number │
│ of live gigs and remixes to stun and enjoy. And the rest is future │
│ history....to be continued on a sound system near you..... │
