Artist: Inside Brain and Tetrikal - Back to the Roots
World Wide Release: 11 August, 2023 

Promo:
Phonix Records is proud to present the new EP from Inside Brain and Tetrikal - Back to the Roots! 

Inside Brain is the epic new project from legend X-Side (Luis Cruz/Mexico) and Psygeneration (Edi Jesus/Portugal) - and marks a return to the night full-on sound that launched the X-Side project in its early years. 

Joining Inside Brain is Tetrikal (Alan Perez / Mexico) - no stranger to the Mexico night full on scene, with releases on respected labels such as MMD Records and Dropland Records as well as our very own Made in Mexico compilation series! 

Back to the Roots features 2 slamming collaborations - starting off with ‘First Step’ - a fittingly named track that fuses aggressive leads with goa influenced grooves. The result is a bouncy psychedelic monster! The second collaboration is ‘Parental Advisory’ - a methodically constructed belter of a tune equipped with powerful basslines and laser sharp leads designed to make you MOVE! 

Big up to the artists involved with this release - especially X-Side who pulls triple duty on production, artwork and mastering. Enough said - it’s time to do what we do best. Take us to your speakers - it is time to go Back to the Roots!


TRACKLIST: 
1 - Inside Brain & Tetrikal - First Step 147 BPM

Release: Inside Brain - Akbal Strong EP
World Wide Release: 2nd August, 2024

Promo:
Phonix Records are back into the danger zone with an EP from the latest addition to the Phonix family - Inside Brain (X-Side aka Luis Cruz/Mexico & Psygeneration aka Edi Jesus/Portugal)! This time they present us with a HUGE 2 track EP - ‘Akbal Strong’! 

The Mayans use the word Akbal to describe people who get things done, who rise to the occasion, who put in the blood, sweat and tears to help lead the way forward. It was with this idea and a single minded focus that our sonic hackers were able to craft two dancefloor bombs! 

‘Akbal Ho’ is mean to the bone, with enough power and acid laced leads to give the dancefloor a jumpstart like no other! Setting the tone of what is to come, “Feel Strong” is a deliciously fat tune - with a bass so huge, it can only be listened to safely on dancefloors where foot tapping quickly becomes foot stomping! A snippet of the sound and style we can expect Inside Brain to continue to perfect in the future. You have been warned! 

Shout out to sHiFt (Chris Hoy/Australia) for the stellar masters and X-Side( aka Pentagraphix Design) for pulling double duty on the graphics for this release.

Enough said - its time to do what we do best - take us to your speakers and together- lets push the limits with “Akbal Strong”!

Tracklist:
1 - Inside Brain - Akbal Ho 145 BPM
2 - Inside Brain - Feel Strong 147 BPM

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.
