Title: Echoes of Noisse compiled by Mad Noisse
Release Date - 6th Septmeber, 2024

Promo:
Phonix Records is back with another massive release! This time we are happy to have amigo Mad Noisse (Jaime Cruz Reyes / Mexico) join us to assemble an epic collection of noissy delights - aptly entitled ‘Echoes of Noisse’! 

The first echo comes from legends Alienn (Patrick Ferrera/ Portugal) & Stereopanic (Eric Molena/Mexico) with an epic collaboration ‘Revolution’, a story loaded to the teeth with acid leads, lasers and heavy grooves! SinusX (Daniel Diminstein/Mexico) and Flagrant (Cas Omar/Mexico), combine their powers to create the  epic “Wrath 2.0”. Groovy yet serious and extremely psychedelic! Respected master Demosys (André Cachaço/Portugal) joins the fun with the powerful and melodic “The Way Back Here”. Kicking up the tempo and keeping the groove flowing - Demosys pushes the envelope with his epic melodies straight from another dimension! 

The echoes grow louder and darker… Tetrikal (Alan Jair/Mexico) takes us into “Wonderland”. A meticulously crafted roller coaster ride that perfectly sets the tone for things to come. Psycho System (David Iglesias/Spain) brings his signature hyperactive acid leads, and pure energy with “Burning Man”. Mega (Alex Herrera/Mexico) takes the journey deeper with a psychedelic monster that is a “Serial Killer” - equal parts deranged mayhem and face melting psychedelia - Mega goes above and beyond showcasing the latest evolution of his sound. 

And the echoes reach their frenzied peak! Spooky and haunting “Unethical Framework” from newcomer Dagar (Gerardo Diaz/Mexico) is a relentless monster of a tune that will make you MOVE. The release moves from strength to strength - with an epic tale from China Rose (Rebecca Broadbent / United Kingdom). “Labyrinth” is a no holds barred explosion of deep melodies with a super powered bassline. If that wasn’t enough, we are happy to have back with us legend Tryambaka (Tiago Pimentel/Portugal) to take things psychedelic with “Transubstantiate”! Delicious modulated synthesis, hints of melody, and a serious bassline make this a lysergic rush like no other. All culminating in the epic “Slingshot” from Infektion (Bruno Lopes/Portugal) - the classic twilight sound featuring serious grooves and an epic story, a fitting echo to finish the release. 

Phonix Records would like to thank Kosmic Eyes at Vision studio for the epic artwork and Aum Project for the crisp mastering. 

Enough said - its time to do what we do best. Take us to your speakers - its time to unleash the “Echoes of Noisse”!

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!

Ishikawa - Bassline Expansion [Dj Set - June 2025]

Ishikawa is Angad Kapoor from Mumbai, India and now based in San Francisco, USA. At age 14, he first came into contact with psytrance listening to Infected Mushroom’s Psycho and that was the beginning of a lifelong obsession. Over the years his interest grew in music for the twilight hours featuring music from the likes of Scorb, Digital Talk, and Rubix Qube alongside his first love that was epic morning and full on music paced. In 2010 he decided to join Phonix Records with the intent of promoting upcoming artists and above all – pushing nothing but good music. Since then he has gone to play at a number of festivals - Equinox (USA), Caracha Experience (Mexico), The Great Funspiracy (Canada) to name a few. In 2011, he joined the legendary Mechanik Records family till it finally closed down. Today he has diversified his sound palette into groovy forest music from the likes Blacklite Records, Looney Moon Records and Bom Shanka Music running from 148-152 bpm. His mixes have been regularly featured on a number of radio streams now, Radio Schizoid (India) where he helped organize show & interviews, Pump Up The Volume (France), Boomadelic (Israel), The Cheeky Grin (Australia) and Babaganousha (Germany).  Fast forward to 2019 Ishikawa proudly manages Phonix Records as well as represents Kaos Krew Records as a DJ. In 2020, Ishikawa also created a new DJ alias -Saturate- focused on melodic house music for slower grooves. Today, with 11 compilations to his name, over 50 releases overseen on home label Phonix Records - Ishikawa is at his happiest listening, sharing and spreading psytrance music.

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.
