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!

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.

Dj Mikel can turn his uniform audience into a single continous flow where everybody converge from the material lost during his mesmerising dj-sets. 

It all began in 2000, when he started playing music at techno-trance parties. Here he discovered his passion for mystical Indian atmosphere and for psychedelic world. 
After 4 years spent in psytrance music ambient he found his musical way, discovering and sharing with his public his abstract and ethereal vision translated into sound.
From that moment he decided not only to play music, but even to create events and new artistic ideas.
Mikel has a very particular sound, transcendental and hypnotic. A deep music research that end in hours of pure musical delirium, showing a unique personal choice in order to create a place out of time and space. A perfect duo between mind and body.

From 2014 onwards, Mikel brought his musical artistry to the legendary record label Parvati Records, where he showcased more organic and mysterious sets, enriched with wild grooves. His contribution to Parvati Records solidified his reputation as a DJ with a unique touch and a deep connection to psychedelic music.

In the spring of 2023, Mikel took a bold step towards new musical horizons by joining the renowned record label Pleiadian Records. Here, he continued to evolve and adapt his style, presenting more spacious and futuristic sets. His talent for adapting to diverse dancefloors has allowed him to maintain a lasting impact on the electronic music scene.

Don't miss the opportunity to join Mikel on this exciting musical journey, where past, present, and future converge into a singular sonic experience.
