Artist: ReFractor - We Are The Same EP
World Wide Release: 3rd November, 2023

Promo:
Artificial Intelligence has come forward by leaps and bounds and is not slowing down. What does this mean for us? Is artificial intelligence a malevolent presence or is it more akin to a new friend, here to help us reach new heights? This was the question that ReFractor (Luan Boes/South Arica) was considering at the Phonix Labs. After much experimentation, analysis and deep wave research - he found the answer - ‘We Are The Same’!

Phonix Records is proud to present the brand new EP from ReFractor. The title track is a positive groovy beast designed to make listeners lose themselves to the dancefloor - there is no us and them - ‘We Are The Same’. What follows is a more introspective track - reality distorts, digital signals degrade but the energy level stays true. ‘Take the Wheel’ is a deep exploration of the mystical bond between man and machine. Offering a small respite is the realisation of the ‘Holographic Universe’. The ideal vision of the future of humans and A.I, a slow burning story that firmly cements listeners to the dancefloor with heavy basslines and acid leads. Last but not the least is a remix of ‘Simply Complicated’ by Israeli masters Shameless (Shay Menachem) and Earworm (Max Meshiv). Joining ReFractor on this remix is Loophole (Benjamin Loggenberg/South Africa). The result is an epic end to this release. Power, haunting melodies and an unrelenting energy that never slows down.

Phonix Records and ReFractor would like to thank all the artists involved and special shout out to X-Side at Pentagraphix Design for the artwork. And now it’s time to do what we do best, take us to your speakers and lets explore why We Are The Same!

◊ SOLAR VIBES ◊

Son style rayonne, attirant les danseurs comme les rayons attirent les fleurs. Derrière ses platines, il fait naître une véritable éclipse musicale, où chaque vibration devient une étincelle, chaque drop une explosion de lumière.

Avec lui, la nuit prend des couleurs d’été éternel , un voyage sonore sous un soleil qui ne se couche jamais.

Progressive / Psytrance

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.
