Release: V/A - Twilight Realities compiled by Ishikawa
World Wide Release: 1st August 2025


Promo: 
Phonix Records is back with its 5th release of the year! This time label manager Ishikawa puts together our first compilation for 2025. Over a year in the making, this release focuses on expanding the labels' sound palette. After a deep meditation on what twilight psytrance stands for today, the vision of 'Twilight Realities' was born!

The journey starts with Ionkhe's (Ivan Lugo/Mexico) 'Puppet'. Dreamy melodies over a slowly evolving groove help set the tone for the voyage ahead. Legend Moaiact (Luciano Cisternas Salvo/Chile) amps things up with his energetic and acid laced 'Peak to Peak'. Taking an intentional approach is Random (Ross Dubois/USA), with the 'Oddness' - a super psychedelic tale that ebbs and flows, always pushing things closer to the edge. 

From here on - things are elevated to the next level. The ever impressive Billuminati (Czetka Bela/Hungary) presents his funky tale of 'Bro His' - modulated leads and an unrelenting funky bassline are destined to make this a crowd favorite. Not to be outdone is master Eeriegeist (Sebastian Salas/Mexico) with his signature low rumbling bassline that wiggles its way all around the dancefloor in a move he calls the 'Saucer Glide'. And now we hit critical mass. Reality is resonating uncontrollably with the help of Akromode (Andres Garcia/Mexico) - who spins a tale with a playful bassline that is a full frontal assault to the senses, this is 'Magical Vision'. 

All things lead to the final chapter of this saga - the epic three way collaboration between Space Ape (Robin Levin/Sweden), Ionkhe and Absolute 9 (Carlos Ontiveros/Mexico). Pure psychedelic magic and a no non-sense bassline make this a fitting end to this journey through the 'Twilight Realities'. 

A shoutout to Patricio Tron at Homegrown Audio for his impeccable mastering and Phonix stalwart atSar (Pedro Trindade/Portugal) for the spectacular graphics. And now its time to take us to your speakers and descend into the 'Twilight Realities'!

Release: Ionkhe - Bad Reputation EP
World Wide Release: 5th September, 2025


Promo: 
Phonix Records is especially proud to share the coming of Ionkhe's (Ivan Lugo/Mexico) long overdue EP. Its a story of hope and redemption. A release years in the making, once thought to be lost forever in a hard drive crash with many sonic gems. Then miraculously a year later - long forgotten backups emerged - giving this EP a new lease on life. And so we have come full circle and Ionkhe presents his sublime vision - 'Bad Reputation'.

The story starts with the ever grooving, ever evolving story of the ruthless 'Madame VanderSEXXX'. A cruel mistress, who toys with listeners until she finally has everyone stomping dancefloors. Tried and tested across dancefloors across Canada, Mexico and the USA - the Madame is destined to become a crowd favorite. With an opener like that, it's hard to not push things even further. Some would say it sets an expectation, and so 'Bad Reputation' rises to the challenge. Funky, groovy, and an in your face energy make this an alpha category monster. 

It is at this point, Ionkhe thought long and hard about what kind of vision he was creating. It wasn't truly complete until he had some fellow friends and aliens join in the fun. And who is our first guest star you may ask? Why, none other than the legendary sHiFt (Chris Hoy/South Africa). A joining of forces of epic proportions, which hits all the right tones - its groovy, brooding, and comes from a place of such deranged fun - behold the 'Intergalactic Treasure'! Morphing, shifting and distorting realities - this track is a sci-fi epic that leaves no one standing on the dancefloor - only stompers! 

Not to be outdone is the mystical final track - and second collaboration - 'La Relatividad Del Tiempo' with long time collaborator and amigo Absolute 9 (Carlos Ontiveros/Mexico). Constantly changing, this examination of time through the sonic lens is like a machine gone mad on discovering groove. Processors are humming at maximum efficiency as these two expertly reconstruct reality for listeners. A fitting farewell to the vision of 'Bad Reputation'.

Special thanks to Tron at Homegrown Audio for the crisp mastering, as well as all the artists involved. Enough said - crank up the volume, setup the dancefloor and let Ionkhe take over your sound system. Its time for him to show you the depths of his 'Bad Reputation'. 

TRACKLIST: 
Ionkhe - Madame VanderSEXXX 150 BPM
Ionkhe - Bad Repuation 150 BPM
Ionkhe & sHiFt - Intergalactic Treasure 148 BPM

Release: ReFractor - Phantom Effect
World Wide Release: 7 November, 2025


Promo: 
Phonix Records is proud to present the long overdue debut album from ReFractor - Phantom Effect. After many years and numerous releases honing his craft, ReFractor (Luan Boes / South Africa) put together this magnum opus. 

Intrigued by the ever changing landscape of science and technology, ReFractor focused on the fleeting and profound place of music in society. Over the journey of 9 tracks - this album covers a variety of soundscapes and textures. 

Starting with the epic and slowly building dancefields of “Ivy”, to the precise laser cut “Clockwork Failure” and then to the hard hitting and  grim tech monster of “Qubit”. The title track - “Phantom Effect” is a serious groover which sets the tone for things to come. With “Blizzard” ReFractor takes things to the next level, an epic and driving track that leads perfectly into ReFractor’s remix of Deliriant (Shane Renew/South Africa) classic from 2007 - “Phase Me”. A perfectly balanced combination of new and old - the remix is destined to be a crowd favorite.

The album winds down arch starts in style with “Eclipse” - a serious sci fi groover that blends ReFractor’s own brand of space scapes with a hint of melody. Followed by “Connect the Dots” - a wild story of shifting dimensions and unrelenting basslines. To finish things, ReFractor stretched out his sonic muscles and our sonic reality - giving birth to the sleazy and slinky psybient story of the “Naughty Robot”. A dimensional portal into space squelch and deep soundscapes, a fitting farewell that captures the fever dream of the Phantom Effect. 

A big thanks to Deliriant for allowing us to remix his work, Scorb (Ady Conor/UK) at TRK Mastering for the pristine masters and X-Side (Luis Cruz/Mexico) at Pentagraphix Design for his excellent design work. 

With that said - take us to your speakers, open your minds to listen and receive and close your eyes to see the Phantom Effect.

Release: VA - First Contact compiled by Ionkhe and Cosmic Conexion
World Wide Release: 5th December 2025

Promo: 
Phonix Records is happy to end the year on a powerful note with a monster compilation - our last release for 2025, put together by amigos Ionkhe (Ivan Lugo/Mexico) and Cosmic Conexion (Josue Mares Beccerra/Mexico). We are beyond excited to share the vision of “First Contact”.

With this compilation, Phonix Records continues to expand its sound palette into the realms of new age twilight energies, groovy and powerful stories from other worlds designed to make dancefloors move. The release starts with Kobre (Andrés Abarca/Mexico) and the fittingly titled “Sic Parvis Magna”. A slowly evolving full on groover to jump start things… greatness from humble beginnings indeed. Taking a more sharp-edged tone is Dagar (Gerardo Diaz/Mexico) with “Psynapse Protocol” - a healthy dose of classic night full-on energies. Pristine mechanical mayhem laced with the right amount of melodies make this destined to be a planetary favorite. 

Starting the psychedelic chapter for this voyage into the unknown is the psychedelically inclined groover from Lante (Lucas Pariente/Argentina) with “Instant Lunch”. A glorious squelcher of a beast, a perfect setup for what follows. The no non-sense groover “Jungle” by Kalicell (Ismael Pérez/Mexico) is a dancefloor marauder of epic proportions, moving from strength to strength. Not to be outdone are Noise Wares (Ismael Rodriguez/Mexico) with their story of “Creation is the Reaction”. A fast paced tune that winds itself around tightly honed grooves and acid leads that only push one way… onward and upward. Reaching the pinnacle of resonance are Ionkhe & Artificial Concepts (Mauricio Enrique Coronel/Mexico) with the fastest track of the release - “Hacked Realities”. True to its nature, this track glitches in and out of dimensional sync - a full on blast from another dimension.

Leading up to the final chapter of the release - Olokun (Maikas Rizo/Mexcio) & Shakti Muni (Mexico) start things off with “Carribean Groove”. A uniquely funky and jazzy full powered track perfect for a dancefloor stomp. Olokun continues forward with another funky and fun chunky monster that helps slow things down towards the final story on the release. Ionkhe joins the frey again with amigo Space Ape (Robin Levin/ Sweden) in tow - to end the release, with the epic, funny and somehow downright serious story that is… Nunya Business. 

A shout out to Homegrown Mastering (Mexico) for the impeccable mastering, Ionkhe for pulling double duties on graphics design along with assembling this fine release with amigo Cosmic Conexion.

Enough said - its time… Take us to your sound systems, it’s time to make “First Contact”.

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!

Promo:
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!

Label: Phonix Records
Cat no. : PHODIGI012
Format: Digital download
Release Date (BeatPort 2 Week Exclusive): January 9th, 2015
World Wide Release: January 23rd, 2015
Mastered by Dale Byl @ db Mastering, South Africa
Artwork by Etnarama

Promo:
Diamonds are the hardest substance known to man. Formed under only the most crushing of pressure and intense of heat deep in earth’s crust; they are the physical embodiment of beauty and purity with the ability to capture and bend light to their will. In all our explorations and interstellar travels – our scientists and wizards have never come across such a unique substance.

Enamored by this awe inspiring substance, the Phonix sorcerers began testing the waters of sonic augmentation and manipulation using diamonds. What they finally found was a revolutionary new way of producing sounds waves. Through this new forging process, these beat hackers were able to cut their sounds to a refined - and above all – sharp edge.

Phonix Records is proud to present – ‘Diamond Cut’ – a selection of polished twilight psytrance mayhem compiled by none other than Etnarama – owner and founder of Phonix Records. The release starts off with L.E.O.F – the deep and deadly alter ego of Mexican genius System Sequence – presenting listeners with a taste of what to expect from his new project exploring the realms of “Lysergic Experiments over Frequency”. Sonic wizard Zabot (Portugal) wastes no time in picking up the pace with his trippy and groovy “Cyber Horse” – a mechanized beast of beauty and magic. With the wheels set in motion, 3M (Mexico) goes further into the darkness and takes listeners deeper into the unchartered territory of “Neverland”. Deep in the darkness, Dexter (Portugal) finds a diamond in the rough – his unique remix to a Phonix classis, Demosys’ epic “Mary Shaw”. Following suit is the ethereal saga of melody and energy – South African shaman Hysteria’s answer to the deepest questions of the universe encompassed in his “Spiritual Solutions”. Last but not the least, Phonix Records is proud to present Omega Flight (UK) – who ends this fine release with a deep, twisted and haunting “Soundscape”.

With this, our 12th digital release, Etnarama and Phonix Records are proud to continue forward with the mission to promote the freshest and most potent twilight psytrance there is to offer. As we often say in the Phonix Labs, let’s get ready to rumble!

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”!

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: Skryre vs iLmush - Hope
World Wide Release: 3rd October, 2025


Promo:
Phonix Records is back in action and proud to welcome back Skryre (Fergus McDermott/Australia), the sonic wizard who is joined by cosmonaut iLmush (Ilya Elymanov/Russia). What started as a simple introduction to help iLmush finish off some long stalled stories, quickly blossomed into a friendship giving birth to ‘Hope’. Something totally new and unexpected, that was beyond what the two thought would come from the happy meeting, a testament to the resonant energies at play. 

The first in a series of releases from the talented duo, ‘Hope’ is a track that moves from strength to strength, ever grooving and evolving in scintillating waves, melody and power combining to leave listeners covered in goosebumps. A throwback to a time when calling psytrance music magical was not far from the truth. Deranged sounds, epic melodies, and a bassline that makes you move. In a world steeped in chaos, let ‘Hope’ enter your consciousness. 

Special thanks to sHiFt (Chris Hoy/Australia) for mastering this release, and the talented Alicia Donnelly for the beautiful artwork. Its time to do what we do best, take us to your sound system - hit play, dance out your demons, and repeat. It's time for Hope.

Phonophilia is defined as the love of sounds. For Phonix Records and our extended family, 8 years into our journey, and this love for sounds stays true. It is the north star that helps us stay the course. With that in mind, our very own Gayle Adams, partner and co-manager at Phonix Records, started her own journey to compile this release - a testament to the sounds we love. Over a year a later and Phonophilia was born - a journey built to stand the test of time. 

The Phonix team would like to thank everyone involved with this release for helping us realize our vision. Now, let's follow the north star like we have done so in the past, and will do for many cycles more... Take us to your speakers! It is time to explore Phonophilia!

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

03 - Distant Touch - Out Of Your Bitdepth SAMPLE

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. Over 15 years and over 50 releases, they have released fresh releases featuring all the flavors of the twilight spectrum. Today they proudly support an ever-growing roster of new and established producers from across the globe including France, South Africa, Mexico, Portugal and Canada.

Focusing completely on the music for the twilight hours, Phonix Records has constantly been pushing to release nothing but the very best in super powered, hyper charged, 100% unadulterated twilight psytrance! They strive to leave their mark on the psytrance scene as a serious label known to support the music they love.
