‘Tremendous space rock with an intelligent and optimistic zen-punk message’ It’s Psychedelic Baby! Magazine

‘If Paradise 9 had been around back in the day, then surely their space-punk vibe would have made them great stablemates for the likes of Inner City Unit, Underground Zero, and yes, Hawkwind themselves, on the 1980s Flicknife roster. Fast forward to 2021, and how fantastic to see them join the resurgent Flicknife label now! Sharp indeed!’ Ian Abrahams, RC

‘Paradise9 is one of the great undiscovered bands of the 21st century’ Abi Rhodes, Zigzag Wanderings

"Spacy, explorative, invocatory and experimental. This is a bloody super album of magical sounds"  Jon Downes, GONZO Magazine

Schizoma, also known as Fonofobi, stands as a visionary artist whose sonic explorations have been a continuous odyssey since 1999. With a name that conjures images of both the complexity of the mind and the fear of sound, Schizoma embraces the paradox, crafting soundscapes that delve into the deepest realms of auditory experience.

Their music is not just heard; it’s felt. It’s an immersive journey through psychedelic electronic tech house ambient, where each beat is a heartbeat, and every melody is a pulse of life.

Fonofobi: The Paradox
Fonofobi represents the paradox of a creator drawing inspiration from the very thing their moniker suggests they fear. But it’s this juxtaposition that fuels their creativity, pushing the boundaries of what music can be and how it can affect us. Through Fonofobi’s lens, sound is not something to fear but to celebrate.

The Journey Continues
With a career that began in 1999, Schizoma has been at the forefront of the electronic music scene for over two decades. Their upcoming release, “Greener Terra,” invites listeners to embark on a new
