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.
