DJ Fire debuts on the Broadcast! – As Jurgen Leyers, formerly known as Dj Energy, would take it upon himself to entertain the masses with his musical wizardry behind the turntables at school, it came as no shock that his passion would one day take a professional turn. Gradually, he exchanged his school performances, musically wide ranged as they were, for full blown dance dj sets.

When he joined the crew of Rave FM (1993), it became apparent that his true passion had become the electronically spun sounds of an up and coming new Belgian vibe. Guest performances at Belgium's better dance clubs were soon to follow and his sets at venues in Germany (Dorian Gray, Frankfurt/ Euphoria Rave, Hannover), The Netherlands (First Flash to Eden, Mysteryland '99, Trance Buddha and Ministry of Dance) and Switzerland (Highway) clearly illustrated that Fire had become a dj of international esteem. Meanwhile he started playing at "The Qu", "The Hole", "Bel Air", "Fauna" and "Club X" as resident Dj and performed several guest-dj sets at "La Scala", "Extreme", "Zillion", "BBC", "Illusion" and "Cherrymoon", to name but a few.

His first efforts as a producer (1997) were soon rewarded when Fire teamed up with Dimitri Dewever and Francis van Mechelen (Francis better known as Cisko Kid). This first project, "Energy Source", was a small hit in the clubs and charted in the official Belgian dance chart. His breakthrough as a producer became obvious when subsequent team efforts between Fire and other producers (such as Dimitri Dewever, Laurent Veronnez and M.I.K.E.) resulted in top 10 positions in the dancecharts, the most succesfull of which were "Fire & Ice" and a number of their remixes... For instance, their remix of Sonic Inc's "The Taste of Summer" was number 1 for 2 weeks in the Belgian Dance Charts.

Currently Fire is playing as a guest-dj at several different locations in Belgium and Holland. Up to the end of the year 2003 he held a residency in an afterclub called Rockefeller in Holland. He was one of the residents in the main hall where he played every Sundaymorning. In 2002 Fire played on a truck on the Love Parade in Berlin, a big Bonzai-night in Scotland (UK) and on the Summerboat party in Oslo, Norway... This past year saw him playing at leading clubs in Hamburg (Germany), Zurich (Switzerland) and he also held a residency in Dutch club Club-X.

The first half of 2004 saw him playing as a resident in one of Belgium's leading clubs Cherrymoon.

New releases include a new Fire & Ice and Dj Fire. The first 3 Dj Fire-releases did pretty good, considering they were not that commercial. All three reached top 20-positions in the Belgian dancecharts and were on playlists of all major trancejocks. His remixes on tracks of Paragon and Fire & Ice were well received and played by many... Other collaborations with new artists are planned. And there is more to come...

Filo & Peri return to the Broadcast! – Synchronicity: its an occurence that has baffled and intruiged philosophers, religious scholars, and scientists for thousands of years. It is mentioned here because the story of 5Knuckle Studios is rooted in it. What started out as a hazy dream became more and more feasible over time, mostly through the occurance of some important and seemingly related events.

Our story begins with one Domenick Filopei. An energetic youth from the Morris Park section of The Bronx, Domenick was a child who always seemed destined for great things. An accomplished piano player by age 12, Domenick dreamed of someday making music his life; he wasn't sure how, but he had a feeling that something would come along and enlighten him.

Fast forward a few years to high school, and Domenick Filopei meets Dominic LeVoci. Although they lived in the same neighborhood their entire lives, they never met until then. The two quickly became friends, but at the time, LeVoci was thoroughly uninterested in music, bearing in mind tortuous childhood piano lessons that resulted in a mastery of old Italian folk tunes. Filopei's dreams continued to simmer.

Meanwhile, other events were happening to the north. Unbeknownst to the Doms, a young man named Bo Pericic of Ardsley, New York, was also experimenting with music. His father was an avid fan of early electronic acts, and Bo found himself listening to the likes of Jean Michelle Jarre and Tangerine Dream at a very young age. When he turned 6, his parents bought him The Miracle. The Miracle was the keyboard that you hooked up to your old 8-bit Nintendo which taught you how to play music through different games. Immediately hooked, Bo spent hours upon hours playing, trying to write his own songs instead of read notes. With the seed planted, Bo's interest grew over the years as he mined the catalogs of classic artists such as The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. By the time Bo discovered the realm of trance, he had started to experiment with production, setting the stage for what would happen in the future. . .

By the year 2000, Dom and Dom had discovered the American rave scene and the glories of club culture. Finding their utopia in the form of dance music, they decided that this was their true calling. Their course was set. . .

After graduation, the guys scored jobs in the IT field. Filopei's bedroom studio had now reached living room sized proportions, and the decibel level threatened to have him disowned by his normally accommodating family. At the same time, LeVoci found himself at a crossroads; if he was going to get into electronic music, he would have to build himself a respectable setup, and fast.

While LeVoci started down the long road of learning, Filopei resumed his production, which by this time was reaching new heights. It was then that the paths of Bo Pericic and Domenick Filopei first crossed. . .

Filopei had listened to a Pericic production off of Trance.nu, and admired Bo's playing style and orchestration. After a few conversations, he invited him to 5Knuckle. After just one week, the two had created a track entitled "Elevation". The production was so good that they decided to work on more projects as a team, something that neither committed to lightly.

An industrious individual who could match Filopei's frenetic work pace as well as LeVoci's more relaxed vibe, Bo quickly became a fixture at the studio. While becoming increasingly creative in his playing, Bo displayed a keen knowledge of "the scene" as well as where he would like to take it. His grand visions sat well with 5Knuckle's mission statement, and the young producers dreamed of the day where they could rock floors with the very music they themselves had created. Days and then weeks passed, with Filopei and Bo clocking serious hours in front of the console. Even LeVoci, who had a habit of disappearing without explanation for days on end, found himself devoting more time to the mixing desk, spurred on by this resurgence of creativity. After two months of intense production, Bo and Filopei finally caught a break. After giving "Elevation" to Armin Van Buuren at the Roxy nightclub, they soon received an email from Armin himself (coincidentally on Bo's 18th birthday) stating that he would like to sign two of the tracks from the Filopei/Pericic collaboration, now known simply as "Filo & Peri". 5Knuckle Studios had finally reached the next level. . .

Present Day: The Clouds Burst

Arriving at the present, 5Knuckle Studios is now firing on all cylinders. Filo & Peri have virtually locked themselves in the studio, producing tracks that could easily rate as some of the best trance to ever come out of America. Meanwhile, LeVoci is coming into his own, refining his own unique sound that will soon be tested on the dancefloor.

With a steady schedule of releases and a mission to establish America on the trance scene, Filo & Peri have seen the industry take an increasing interest in their product. Be on the lookout for them, as you'll surely hear their tracks being hammered by a select group of renowned DJs, and soon by the boys themselves. With a sage blend of anticipation and determination, Filo & Peri look forward to the future as well as the opportunities it will bring. . .

5Knuckle - he's new kid on the block, and the message is in the name - delivering mind-rocking music to a dancefloor near you.
