Saiko Pod aka Koxbox is back!!! Pioneers of the danish scene, "Frankå" and "Ian Ion" started working together in the early 90ó. After a couple of singles under the name "Koxbox" they got picked up by german superstar DJ"Sven Vè", who signed them up to his seminal "Harthouse" label. In 1991 they brought their second album "Dragon Tales" on the english popular electronic label "Blue Room". In the same year they made a lot of remixes for bands like "Slinky Wizard" or "Juno Reactor" and start their second project "Psychopod" wich released a couple of succesful singles on "T.I.P." records. In the summer of 1999 "Koxbox" put the finishing touches to "The Great Unknown". This 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. After the success of "The great Unknown", they 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 and change the name to "Saiko Pod". This new album licensed to Spiral trax from Solstice Music Japan is 74 minutes long journey into intelligent trance and downbeat that builds on the "Koxbox" tradition for punch and innovation!!!
