Critical - Twelve Mixes (Brazilian Shamans 3 - Compiled by Tiago Pires)

Title: Root Connection compiled by Ishikawa
World Wide Release: 7 April, 2023 

Promo:

Phonix Records presents their first release of 2023! Months in the making, label manager Ishikawa takes a decidedly different direction. Going back to the basics, looking to break out of old patterns and compile a collection of tracks across many styles to realise the Root Function.

Featuring a collection of friends old and new - this release draws on a variety of sounds ranging from early goa influences, to next gen night time full on and groovy forest inspired tracks. The release starts with 'Door 531' by Sonochrome (Daniel Peso) - step in and experience this opening groover which features dreamy goa melodies. Wizard Ionkhe (Ivan Lugo) then revisits 'Black Flag' with a 2023 remix, a sneak peek into his debut album coming soon on Phonix Records. A soulful and marauding remix that leaves deep echoes. Taking that energy to the next level is atSar (Pedro Trindade) - with 'Broken Circle'. A hyper melodic and aggressive track - a throwback to classic night time full on and goa melodies. 

Amigo Stack Rack (Pedro Ferreira) - hot on the heels of a string of strong releases on MMD Records and Sculpted Sounds - is up next with 'Power On'. A 150 BPM bumper bonus that bursts with energy - a testament to why Stack Rack is an artist to keep an eye on. Keeping the momentum going is Synthom (Filipe Dias) with 'Sound Drop'. A showcase of his new forest inspired style - looney, uplifting and downright saasy. Legendary producer Random (Ross Dubois) follows up with his special brand of 'Mayhem'. A genre defying belter featuring acid leads and a bassline that is all business. 

The final act features Cosmic Apocalypse (Andre Muller and Keenan Myburgh) with 'Daredevils'. A fusion of classic melodies with night time full on. Quato (Pierre Lemieux and Manu Beaudin) - deliver their Phonix debut 'Circus Freak', a quirky yet seriously deranged story. The 'Darkside' by Phonix Records founder Luxbuna (Paulo Etnarama) is our final chapter. A melodic beast that digs deep into our very the very roots of the Phonix Records story.

Shout out to Tryambaka (Tiago Pimentel) for the stellar mastering and Ionkhe who pulls double duty with artwork. Time to do what we do best - take us to your speakers and strap in. Root Function - activate!

Sangoma Records proudly presents “More than Meets the Eye”, the second full-length album by Ingrained Instincts.

With this follow-up release, the duo once again redefines their sonic identity, going deeper into the hidden layers of consciousness. "More than Meets the Eye" is an introspective voyage through the intricate web of memory, sound, and emotion. 

This album isn’t just music, it’s a study of how sounds awaken forgotten memories, how those memories stir emotion, and how emotion shapes our experiences. Crafted for inner exploration and outer motion, this is music for minds that seek meaning beyond the obvious.

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'!

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.
