| News | Filo & Peri Return on VANDIT with ‘Shine On’ Posted: 23 Sep 2008 02:13 PM CDT Almost a year since The Anthem smashed into the top of the Billboard charts and burned up the prestigious UK top 40 chart, US duo Filo & Peri are back, this time with 'Shine On'. Released on Paul van Dyk’s behemoth imprint Vandit Records, this is another epic big room all-out trance anthem, with the silky strains of Eric Lumiere once again on the vocals. Dancefloors and DJs are already getting their respective knickers in a twist about it, with the original mix, Aly & Fila mix and an Activa take all doing global business.
