Lysergic Recs partners with Phonix Records to deliver a one of a kind release. Compiled by Ishikawa this release pulls deep from the well of night full-on music where wondrous and deadly delights wait to be found. Enter the realm of the Lysergic Animals.

The release begins with "Just Phasing" from sHiFt (Chris Hoy/South Africa), a legend who delivers a deliciously groovy beast to initiate the journey. Saibot (Arel Bank/ Israel) takes us into the cosmos with his "Black Night Satellite" - a haunting story of how less is more - a lesson learned deep in the void. And here in the void, a spark can be everything you need as is evident with "Dissipate" from mastermind ReFractor (Luan Boes/ South Africa). Deep, moody and waiting to be unleashed on an unexpecting dancefloor.

Once the animals are out - expect them to play. "Vision Seeker 23" from Psyphoria (Don de Valle/Australia) thrills with panned lazers and cheeky breaks but listeners are warned - this beast packs quite a bite. Pushing the limits to manic levels is ‘Exordium’ from Hypometric (Pie Berger/United Kingdom), the sonic embodiment of a raging octopus! A store drenched in acid leads, one of the more frightful delights found in the realm of the Lysergic Animals. Never missing a step, Inside Brain (Luis Cruz/Mexico & Edi Jesus/Portugal) and Mega (Alex Herrera/Mexico) push things to the limit with "Spaceship". Pure sonic power - the combined forces hunt their prey with lethal grace and no hesitation.

Reaching a fevered frenzy, we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The epic "Darkness of Times" by sorceress China Rose (Rebecca Broadbent / United Kingdom) pushes the release into our final stages with its ethereal melodies. Here we find SKP (Peter Strachan) helps center listeners with "Existent" - a potent expression of the twilight magic that infuses the sonic realm we explore. And then the light is here - "Freedom" from AxonDop, the new project from atSar (Pedro Trindade/Portugal)  - will seal the portal to the Lysergic Animals. Slow but deliberate, magical but precise, an ode to things that were and to things that will be.

Enough said - Lysergic Records and Phonix Records proudly invite you to strap in and brace yourself for the journey into the realm of the “Lysergic Animals”!

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.
