Phonix Records is proud to share its final release for 2024 - A FREE release to celebrate this holiday season!

At the helm of this special release is our very own atSar! Celebrating the season of renewal and rebirth as we wind down 2024 - atSar presents his unique reimagining of dancefloor blasters from the yesteryears in the form of... REGENERATE

First we have "Every Single Second" from Belgian masters Digicult! Originally released in 2007 - this track has seen countless hours of dancefloor blasting and a number of remixes over the years. atSar long admired this track from his partying haydays and decided to give it his own special touch. Slick grooves, new arrangements, and more power to blast off into 2025!

Next we have "Other Reality" from Portuguese legend Menog. Also released in 2007, on the legendary Spectral Records - the original is a classic with the all hallmarks of the classic Menog sound. Hauntingly beautiful melodies and staggering power. atSar channels the original and elevates it - only the way he can with his epic melodies, coupled with giant acid leads, all tied together with a powerful bassline giving you a dancefloor killer!

Special thanks to sHiFt for his crisp mastering, Digicult & Menog for generously agreeing to the release and atSar who pulled double duty with production and graphics on this super special release!

On behalf of the extended Phonix Family - we wish our fans and friends a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year!

Release: Digital Talk - Tales from the Far Side EP
World Wide Release: 7th February, 2025


Promo: 
Welcome to 2025 AD. We start the year on an important note - Phonix Records' 50th release! A milestone 15 years in the making, and we are beyond excited to celebrate this occasion with a brand new EP from masters Digital Talk!

The psychedelic french duo - Digital Talk (Julien Fougea and Luc Achintre/France) - have been enthralling dancefloors for over 20 years, reinventing and pushing the envelope with their unique brand of rhythmic groovy psychedelic trance music - time and time again. 

With 'Tales from the Far Side' these cosmonauts revisit the story of a dystopian future, of the 'Far Side'. Originally released in 2005 on the legendary Timecode Records, Digital Talk have distilled, tweaked and maximized the cosmic resonance to construct a special 'Far Side' (Live Version). Dancefloor tested, secured and matured over a year - this monstrous Live Edit is packed with deep space atmospheres, grooves from another dimension, all tied together with glorious acid leads. 

Joining the masters is ReFractor (Luan Boes/South Africa), the beat hacking genius from South Africa. After spending many a moon deconstructing and re-synthesizing the original emissions from the Far Side, ReFractor tinkered and tweaked until he found it again - the Far Side! Tested on dance floors across this planet - his retelling was reconstructed with outrageous amounts of power, and enough raw energy to reach the escape velocity for this reality. 

Special shout out to Scorb at TRK mastering for his awesome mastering, and X-Side at Pentagraphix Design for the superb graphics! 

Enough said - strap in and be ready to go deep... Deeper than you have ever been before. Take us to your speakers and escape this reality with Tales from the Far Side!

Release: Ionkhe & Space Ape - Space Weirdos EP
World Wide Release: 7th March, 2025


Promo: 
Phonix Records is proud to present a one of a kind EP from amigos Ionkhe (Ivan Lugo/Mexico) and Space Ape (Robin Levin/ Sweden).  Years in the making, surviving multiple hardware failures, cross-Atlantic transmissions and numerous dimension jumps - these two talented beat hackers were able to document their crazy sonic adventures to deliver the story of the “Space Weirdos”.

The release starts with the playful, mischievous tune - documenting an evening with their kitty companion Michael Wazowski. Things were going well.. until things got strange, looney and reality began to distort. All the duo can recall is Michael Wazowski asking them about who put the “Catnip in my Nips”. 

As the fog of confusion cleared, the Weirdos found themselves questioning their reality. Soon they were only communicating to each other through fractal patterns and geometry. And then as the light of reason became clear - they figured it out - it had something to do with the “Pyramids”. A hefty tune full of inky goodness, creepy vibes and fat grooves.

And the final chapter of the story begins. Comprehension becoming clear, mind games subside and the ultimate realization of a shared journey of EPIC proportions is perfectly expressed in the form of the looney and delicious - “Mamma Mia”. A fast paced looney track, a mechanical opera and fitting an end to the story of the Space Weirdos. 

Phonix Records is proud to share the vision of the Space Weirdos - a sign of things to expect over the course of 2025! A big thank you to Homegrown Audio Mastering (Mexico) for the epic mastering, and Ionkhe for pulling double duty with the graphics. 

Enough said - take us to your speakers. It’s time to get weird!

Promo:
Phonix Records are proud to partner with Brazilian masters Killer Buds (Marcelo Espindola & Tarcisio Mainardi) once again! The duo are back in action presenting their ever evolving sound - exploring the latest in Killer Buds beat hacking with 'Mainframe Access'. 

With this EP - we tap into the speed force, channeling the very best of cutting edge sonic technology. We 'Get Back' into the groove of things with a hefty dance floor thumper, where a monster bassline and kick propels this story forward. Combining big acid and analog leads - Killer Buds live up to their reputation with this opener. 

Just when you things could not get anymore hectic - the Buds distil further dancefloor madness. Behold - the 'Age of Destruction'! A no nonsense dancefloor killer with looney melodies that push the envelope to the teetering edge. Known to overload the neural circuitry - be warned this can cause an imminent system reboot for any earthlings who are faint of heart. 

The final chapter of this epic release is the ultimate finding from Mainframe Access - what can only be described as the 'Mad Output'. A creepy sci-fi blaster with enough attitude to plaster an uncontrollable grin on listeners' faces while completely overloading their brains. Those affected are forced to stomp out all that excess energy - such is the nature of the Mad Output! 

Shout out to the legend sHiFt (Chris Hoy/Australia) for the impeccable mastering and Pentagraphix Studio for visualizing the chaos that is Mainframe Access. 

Enough said - it's time to plug back into the matrix. Take us to your speakers and surrender your Mainframe Access!

Title: V/A - Cybernetic Response compiled by Data Decay
World Wide Release: 15th October, 2021  

Promo:
The year is 2021. We are still dealing with the effects of the global lockdown. It is time for a new escape – this time Phonix Records puts beat scientist Data Decay in charge. Using cutting edge technology, magic and every other option available – he has assembled the ‘Cybernetic Response’ – a transmission describing his version of things to come. 

Data Decay tunes into the psychedelic frequencies with a little ‘Mind Woggle’. Synthesized by Glitch, ‘Mind Woggle’ tickles and flexes all the right parts of the brain that make you dance! Catching the right wavelength – we commence ‘Frequency Surfing’. Tweaked and fine-tuned, this robo-trip of psychedelic proportions was originally assembled by Tickets and Earworm – and is now remixed by Tickets to achieve the maximum output resonance. As power levels stabilize, mage Skryre dwells deep with his epic – ‘Tantrum of the Opera’. A ballad of technology gone wrong, humanity lost, a monster unleashed! Dancefloors – beware! More chaos leads into disarray and disorientation. Fear not, ReFractor and his claims of ‘Lights in the Sky’ – helps re-orient with perfect precision. 

With a newfound sense of clarity – another legend comes to push things… sideways. Shift thrills with ‘Mesmerizer’. A dark and troubling dystopian tale – an unexpected side effect of the Cybernetic Response! The reality matrix is fractured, and Killer with the help of their new and improved 2021 remix of Digital Talk – ‘Acrobeat’ – recalibrate audio sensors! Synthetic acid leads over powerful beats – the ideal means to break through the firewall of the mind! The perfect setting to turbocharge your dance shoes – Alienn hacks the mind and pushes listeners closer to euphoria embracing the dancefloor zombie inside. 

Entering the final phase, wizard Ionkhe and amigo Droptor present the story of Tsukuyomi – the moon god! Helping complete the story with a little bit of groovy, glitched, and dimension shifting magic! If that isn’t enough – M.A.D, helps secure every ounce of leftover technology to take care of any loose ends with his lethal remix of the classic ‘Global Thermonuclear War’ by Frozen Ghost, Psyqlopz feat. Jester. Dare if you will, pass this point, for beyond this lie ‘Nightmares’! Newcomer China Rose presents this parting chapter – a haunting tale! This is not the happy end you imagined, but it is the EPIC end you get – a 149 BPM roller coaster of a ride bursting with energy! 

With this – Data Decay concludes the Cybernetic Response. Take the time to re-orient yourselves, watch that first step - its a doozy! So waste no time and take us to your speakers! It’s time for the Cybernetic Response!

As 2021 draws to a close, Phonix Records decided to combine forces with legends and long-time collaborators, Killer Buds (Marcelo Espindola and Tarcisio Mainardi / Brazil). After many sessions in the labs, testing, tuning and perfecting - the dynamic duo synthesized the latest in cutting edge sonic technology, the 'Hacking Future'!

This EP reflects Killer Buds' vision of where evolution and technology may lead us as a species and the world as we know it. Starting with 'Cyborgs' - a fracture in the reality matrix, a total nervous system reboot, this groovy hi-tech beast thrashes and thrills. Moving from strength to strength, the evolution from Humans to Cyborgs is all but certain. As technology continues to grow and evolve so will the Cyborgs. Soon the forefront of conflict will be the digital realm alone. A world where hackers will prevail, enter the title track - 'Hacking Future'. A tightly crafted and boldly sculpted track that pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable. How much power should the hackers hold in this new world? Oozing with playful energy and a no non-sense attitude, this is bound to be a dancefloor treat! Beware, there is a monster on the loose!

Phonix Records and Killer Buds would like to thank their friends and family for their continued support. As we have done many times before and will do so many more times to come, trust in us. Take us to your speakers. It is time to embrace the Hacking Future.

Lysergic Recs partners with Phonix Records to deliver a one of a kind release. Compiled by Ishikawa this release pulls deep from the well of night full-on music where wondrous and deadly delights wait to be found. Enter the realm of the Lysergic Animals.

The release begins with "Just Phasing" from sHiFt (Chris Hoy/South Africa), a legend who delivers a deliciously groovy beast to initiate the journey. Saibot (Arel Bank/ Israel) takes us into the cosmos with his "Black Night Satellite" - a haunting story of how less is more - a lesson learned deep in the void. And here in the void, a spark can be everything you need as is evident with "Dissipate" from mastermind ReFractor (Luan Boes/ South Africa). Deep, moody and waiting to be unleashed on an unexpecting dancefloor.

Once the animals are out - expect them to play. "Vision Seeker 23" from Psyphoria (Don de Valle/Australia) thrills with panned lazers and cheeky breaks but listeners are warned - this beast packs quite a bite. Pushing the limits to manic levels is ‘Exordium’ from Hypometric (Pie Berger/United Kingdom), the sonic embodiment of a raging octopus! A store drenched in acid leads, one of the more frightful delights found in the realm of the Lysergic Animals. Never missing a step, Inside Brain (Luis Cruz/Mexico & Edi Jesus/Portugal) and Mega (Alex Herrera/Mexico) push things to the limit with "Spaceship". Pure sonic power - the combined forces hunt their prey with lethal grace and no hesitation.

Reaching a fevered frenzy, we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The epic "Darkness of Times" by sorceress China Rose (Rebecca Broadbent / United Kingdom) pushes the release into our final stages with its ethereal melodies. Here we find SKP (Peter Strachan) helps center listeners with "Existent" - a potent expression of the twilight magic that infuses the sonic realm we explore. And then the light is here - "Freedom" from AxonDop, the new project from atSar (Pedro Trindade/Portugal)  - will seal the portal to the Lysergic Animals. Slow but deliberate, magical but precise, an ode to things that were and to things that will be.

Enough said - Lysergic Records and Phonix Records proudly invite you to strap in and brace yourself for the journey into the realm of the “Lysergic Animals”!

World Wide Release: 2nd August, 2024

Promo:
Phonix Records are back into the danger zone with an EP from the latest addition to the Phonix family - Inside Brain (X-Side aka Luis Cruz/Mexico & Psygeneration aka Edi Jesus/Portugal)! This time they present us with a HUGE 2 track EP - ‘Akbal Strong’! 

The Mayans use the word Akbal to describe people who get things done, who rise to the occasion, who put in the blood, sweat and tears to help lead the way forward. It was with this idea and a single minded focus that our sonic hackers were able to craft two dancefloor bombs! 

‘Akbal Ho’ is mean to the bone, with enough power and acid laced leads to give the dancefloor a jumpstart like no other! Setting the tone of what is to come, “Feel Strong” is a deliciously fat tune - with a bass so huge, it can only be listened to safely on dancefloors where foot tapping quickly becomes foot stomping! A snippet of the sound and style we can expect Inside Brain to continue to perfect in the future. You have been warned! 

Shout out to sHiFt (Chris Hoy/Australia) for the stellar masters and X-Side( aka Pentagraphix Design) for pulling double duty on the graphics for this release.

Enough said - its time to do what we do best - take us to your speakers and together- lets push the limits with “Akbal Strong”!

Title: Echoes of Noisse compiled by Mad Noisse
Release Date - 6th Septmeber, 2024

Promo:
Phonix Records is back with another massive release! This time we are happy to have amigo Mad Noisse (Jaime Cruz Reyes / Mexico) join us to assemble an epic collection of noissy delights - aptly entitled ‘Echoes of Noisse’! 

The first echo comes from legends Alienn (Patrick Ferrera/ Portugal) & Stereopanic (Eric Molena/Mexico) with an epic collaboration ‘Revolution’, a story loaded to the teeth with acid leads, lasers and heavy grooves! SinusX (Daniel Diminstein/Mexico) and Flagrant (Cas Omar/Mexico), combine their powers to create the  epic “Wrath 2.0”. Groovy yet serious and extremely psychedelic! Respected master Demosys (André Cachaço/Portugal) joins the fun with the powerful and melodic “The Way Back Here”. Kicking up the tempo and keeping the groove flowing - Demosys pushes the envelope with his epic melodies straight from another dimension! 

The echoes grow louder and darker… Tetrikal (Alan Jair/Mexico) takes us into “Wonderland”. A meticulously crafted roller coaster ride that perfectly sets the tone for things to come. Psycho System (David Iglesias/Spain) brings his signature hyperactive acid leads, and pure energy with “Burning Man”. Mega (Alex Herrera/Mexico) takes the journey deeper with a psychedelic monster that is a “Serial Killer” - equal parts deranged mayhem and face melting psychedelia - Mega goes above and beyond showcasing the latest evolution of his sound. 

And the echoes reach their frenzied peak! Spooky and haunting “Unethical Framework” from newcomer Dagar (Gerardo Diaz/Mexico) is a relentless monster of a tune that will make you MOVE. The release moves from strength to strength - with an epic tale from China Rose (Rebecca Broadbent / United Kingdom). “Labyrinth” is a no holds barred explosion of deep melodies with a super powered bassline. If that wasn’t enough, we are happy to have back with us legend Tryambaka (Tiago Pimentel/Portugal) to take things psychedelic with “Transubstantiate”! Delicious modulated synthesis, hints of melody, and a serious bassline make this a lysergic rush like no other. All culminating in the epic “Slingshot” from Infektion (Bruno Lopes/Portugal) - the classic twilight sound featuring serious grooves and an epic story, a fitting echo to finish the release. 

Phonix Records would like to thank Kosmic Eyes at Vision studio for the epic artwork and Aum Project for the crisp mastering. 

Enough said - its time to do what we do best. Take us to your speakers - its time to unleash the “Echoes of Noisse”!

Title: Twilight Core Vol. 3 compiled by Ishikawa
World Wide Release: 5 June, 2020
Mastered by Tiago Pimentel at Tryambaka Studio, Portugal
Artwork by Etnarama

Promo:
It has been 5 years of patient waiting, plotting and planning. And now the time has finally come... to reactivate the Core. Phonix Records is proud to present - Twilight Core Volume 3! Featuring a roster of fresh and established names from the world over; cosmonaut Ishikawa invites you to join the voyage through the Twilight Core once more with an exceptional crew of beat hackers, scientists and sonic wizards.

Activation sequence commences with Capes (Ruan Capes/South Africa) and his slick, polished and cerebral 'Synthetica' that breathes life into our propulsion systems. Mirror Phase (Robert MacDonald/South Africa) with his tribal 'Inner Experience' conjures an unrelenting beast that helps stabilise the reality matrix. Phonix scientist Distant Touch then pushes the envelope with an infectiously fat bassline spliced with enough acid to leave you out of 'Out of Your Bitdepth'.

Jump starting the scanning sequence is Stack Rack (Pedro Ferreira/United Kingdom), with his deep and intelligent retelling of Ionkhe's 'Unacceptable' (Ivan Lugo/Mexico). Already a dance floor favourite, this remix gives the original a fresh psychedelic twist. With the help of our new friend iLmush (Ilya Elymanov/Russia) - the psychedelic energy needed to reach the next level of the core bursts forward with the 'Blue Monkey' - a haunting and groovy dance floor romp. Bringing us perspective is SKP (Peter Strachan/Australia) reminding us to not be so serious and to enjoy some 'Harmless Fun' along the way. Virtuoso ReFractor (Luan Boes/South Africa) takes the helm with a 'Bitter Sweet' story that satisfies all dance floor cravings and more.

'Coming Together' for the final sprint are mastermind Earworm (Max Meshiv/Israel) and friend Reborn (Faraz Radmehr/ Iran). A space aged blaster with rhythm that will make you reach for the stars. Our very own Aquedeux (Robyn De Jager / South Africa) follows up with the next move - 'Heart of Africa'. The culmination of her love and hope for her home of Africa; once the forgotten continent but now the healing continent! Let freedom reign, God bless Africa! And with that much needed feeling of hope, long time Phonix amigo - Tickets (Josef Summs/ South Africa) - joins the crew for our final push. As we enter the heart of the Twilight Core - time dilates and reality falters, if only momentarily, to infect sound waves with hyperactive energy. The result is the roller coaster ride that is 'Technical Tickets' - a 152 bpm spiral of madness! A truly unique retrospective of all the Twilight Core represents.

With this, the 29th release from Phonix Records, we are proud to continue supporting the music and the artists we believe in! A special thanks to Tryambaka (Tiago Pimentel/Portugal) for his wonderful mastering, the Phonix familia (Gayle, Paulo and the rest of the crew), all the artists who have patiently witnessed this release come full circle and finally – our fans and friends who make all the hard work worth it. With that said, as you have done so before and will do so for many moons more - take us to your speakers! Now is the time to once more explore the depths of the Twilight Core!

In 2010, Paulo Etnarama was inspired to support fresh up and coming psytrance producers acts in twilight psytrance, and thus Phonix Records was born in London. Later that year he found his partner in crime - Ishikawa, a fellow traveler in the cosmos who shared the same vision. Together they worked tirelessly with the aim of providing sonic scientists and wizards the means to be heard by audiences galaxy wide.

Fast-forward 3 years to 2013, Etnarama goes on sabbatical and Ishikawa takes the reigns to manage the label. Since then - Phonix Records has now branched from its home in the UK with representation across USA, Portugal, and South Africa.
