Release: ReFractor - Phantom Effect
World Wide Release: 7 November, 2025


Promo: 
Phonix Records is proud to present the long overdue debut album from ReFractor - Phantom Effect. After many years and numerous releases honing his craft, ReFractor (Luan Boes / South Africa) put together this magnum opus. 

Intrigued by the ever changing landscape of science and technology, ReFractor focused on the fleeting and profound place of music in society. Over the journey of 9 tracks - this album covers a variety of soundscapes and textures. 

Starting with the epic and slowly building dancefields of “Ivy”, to the precise laser cut “Clockwork Failure” and then to the hard hitting and  grim tech monster of “Qubit”. The title track - “Phantom Effect” is a serious groover which sets the tone for things to come. With “Blizzard” ReFractor takes things to the next level, an epic and driving track that leads perfectly into ReFractor’s remix of Deliriant (Shane Renew/South Africa) classic from 2007 - “Phase Me”. A perfectly balanced combination of new and old - the remix is destined to be a crowd favorite.

The album winds down arch starts in style with “Eclipse” - a serious sci fi groover that blends ReFractor’s own brand of space scapes with a hint of melody. Followed by “Connect the Dots” - a wild story of shifting dimensions and unrelenting basslines. To finish things, ReFractor stretched out his sonic muscles and our sonic reality - giving birth to the sleazy and slinky psybient story of the “Naughty Robot”. A dimensional portal into space squelch and deep soundscapes, a fitting farewell that captures the fever dream of the Phantom Effect. 

A big thanks to Deliriant for allowing us to remix his work, Scorb (Ady Conor/UK) at TRK Mastering for the pristine masters and X-Side (Luis Cruz/Mexico) at Pentagraphix Design for his excellent design work. 

With that said - take us to your speakers, open your minds to listen and receive and close your eyes to see the Phantom Effect.

aGh0Ri TanTriK is a psychedelic trance music project by Sid from India since 2003.

The title of the project, Aghori Tantrik is also the name of an ancient Indian cult of Sadhus known as Aghori or Aghora.

The aGh0Ri TanTriK music project is world famous for creating an altogether different type of music with vibrations never felt before, very dark, but also intelligent, hardcore and astounding as if pouring through a dark dimension.

Powerful driving bass-lines, atmospheres which throw you into fantastic surreal dimensions and beautifully crafted dark tunes twist and liberate the listener into groovy mental dimensions.

There is a lot of attention to detail in making the many layers of sounds that flow in this music. Here you find utter astounding beauty because here there is crystal clear madness and extreme intelligence hijacking your mind using your sense of sound. Temporary or Permanent synesthesia might occur!

The music project has more than 150 tracks released on various albums so far on labels such as Sonic Tantra, Apuruami, Biomechanix, Evil Knivel, Nuclear Force, Mitnal, Biijah, Mystical Flashback, Dark Terror, HSSR, Liquid Frequency, Rootwork, Shamanicaros, Popol Vuh, Maniac Psycho Pro, Phrenetic Tales, Ohm Ganesh Pro, Lonely Planet, Australiacs, Badgers, Ultratumba, Tripura Yantra, & Twisted Minds!

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.
