Title: Locked Locker - Hover Tech EP
World Wide Release: 9th June 2023

Promo:
Phonix Records is beyond excited to share the latest EP from Locked Locker – ‘Hover Tech’. Locked Locker is the epic collaboration between Marcelo Espindola (aka half of Killer Buds/ Brazil) and Josue Guzman (aka HyperActive / Mexico). After years honing their sound with respected labels like 3D Vision and Replicant Records, with this release they present the next evolution of Locked Locker. Retaining their sci-fi themed night full on style – the duo add a psychedelic twist to their sound. The result is an epic fusion of night full on power with enough acid to fracture the reality matrix! 

‘Hover Tech’ is the eponymous hyper powered title track that opens the EP. Featuring sharp and uplifting melodies over serious basslines – this track is bound to be a crowd pleaser. ‘The Way’ showcases a different vibe – more serious and cerebral – this introspective banger is a deep journey into the chaos of the inner cosmos. Leading up to the final track – a wonderfully deranged and extremely psychedelic remix to ‘Surprises Upset People’ by Absolum (Christof Drouillet / 3D Vision) – a psytrance legend in every right. The original is a classic that was released in 2006 on the legendary Phantasm Records. This remix is a true labour of love – the duo preserved the original vibe of this monster track while updating the sounds and adding their own flavour of mayhem. The result is a deranged BEAST that is going to burn up dancefloors.

A huge shout out to German (Aum Project/Ex-Gen) for the stellar mastering and John Phantasm (Phantasm Recs / UK) & Absolum for their willingness to trust us with the remix. Enough said – take us to your speakers – it’s time to explore Hover Tech!

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.
