Saiko-pod was formed in 1996 by Ian Ion and DJ Frank’e of Koxbox fame. Originally named Psychopod, the group released a number of high-octane trance tracks on the seminal T.I.P. label in London.
In 2002 after a new musical direction and a new spelling, Saiko-pod released their first full-length album “Phutures and Options” on Solstice Music in Japan and Spiral Trax in Europe. “P’n O” is a club-friendly cross pollination of house, trance and electronica and has worked out very successfully with audiences around the World.
Since 2003, Saiko-pod (now only with Ian at the helm) played a number of big events including Fuji Rock Festival with DJ Sasha and Optimus Hype Meco and Samothraki dance festivals in Portugal and Greece.
In 2004, the album "Phutureremixes" was released and with that came a lot of recognition on the progressive scene.
At the moment, Ian Ion is in the studio finishing the material for a new Saiko-pod album for Iboga Records.
