Title: V/A - Spectral Resonance Label: Phonix Records Cat no. : PHODIGI018 Format: Digital download Release Date: 2nd June 2017(Beatport 2 Week Exclusive) World Wide Release: 16th June 2017 Mastering: Track 4 mastered by Sebliminal Productions, UK All other tracks mastered by Dale Byl @ db Mastering Studios, South Africa Artwork by Paulo Etnarama Resonance is the phenomenon whereby a sound played at just the right frequency, the resonant frequency, is amplified and manifested physically in neighboring objects. The greater the resonance, the greater the amplification. Deejays Space Byrd and Ishikawa sought to explore this phenomenon of making objects, particularly people, move through sound waves. Over a year in the making, the two worked together and gathered talents from across the globe - South Africa, Brazil, Portugal, United Kingdom, Mexico and Spain - to create the ‘Spectral Resonance’ experiment. Their experiment starts with Contrast's (South Africa), 'Hear Myself Thinking', a slow introspective groover that helps open listeners’ sonic receptors receive resonant frequencies. Once completed, it is time to experience ‘Intensity’ from the combined forces of the legendary Killer Buds (Brazil)and Corrosive System (Brazil). Things take a spooky turn and the transfer of sonic energy reaches a perfect resonance. What follows next is amplification, with the help of Infektion’s (Portugal) epic, ‘Legacy’. It is at this point that listeners start to feel the dancefloor zombie within taking over. A moment of clarity is introduced through Systematic Audio’s (UK) ‘300 Years’. A serious monster that helps explore the primal force that is sound. Not to be outdone, Phonix regular Omega Flight (UK) pushes this idea further with his ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ - a mechanical exploration on the power of resonance. It is time to level up, an apt point to introduce the newest member of the Phonix Records family - Terrorbyte (South Africa) - and his explosive ‘Legend27’. Sinister vibes laced with haunting melodies, sonic control of dancefloor zombies is complete. Ctrl Z3ta (Mexico) and Dj Meskita (Portugal) next take control to turn dancefloor zombies into unrelenting dancefloor robots with ‘Robocop’. Phonix regulars Psycho System (Spain) further resonate with subjects to infuse them with their hypnotic ‘Dark Essence’. Ctrl Z3ta’s powerful remix of X-Avenger’s (Mexico) ‘Serial Killer’ continues to play mayhem with listeners’ sonic receptors. As the experiment approaches its end, Space Byrd and Ishikawa begin to ease listeners with a dose of ‘Gravity’, a psychedelic beast from Singularity (South Africa). With the help of master Akros (Mexico), energy levels are carefully fine-tuned with the unrelentingly groovy ‘Kronos’. Leading us to reflect on our findings, Aquedeux (South Africa) helps realize the ‘Conscious Symbiotic Evolution’, the realization that resonance is a journey of minds – those of the resonators, and of the resonated. The Phonix Records crew thank the featured artists, friends and fans for the continued patience and support. We are proud to continue our mission of showcasing proper twilight psytrance and share with the world our vision of the genre. Come experience with us - Spectral Resonance! TRACKLIST: 1.

Title : VA – Twilight Core Vol. 2 Label : Phonix Records Cat no. : PHODIGI015 Format : Digital download Release Date: (BeatPort 2 Week Exclusive) World Wide Release: 4th December, 2015 Mastered by Dale Byl @ db Mastering Studios, South Africa Artwork by Ishikawa and Omega Flight We at Phonix Records firmly believe in the saying of one good turn deserving another. And with that thought in mind, for our next adventure, Ishikawa chose to revisit an old chapter... And so after almost 2 years - it was time to resurrect the nexus which encompasses many of the secrets that gave birth to the Phonix Laboratories- the Twilight Core is back and ready for action! On initiating the core, a surge of power sweeps the scene leaving behind Omega Flight (UK) and newcomer Aquedeux (ZA) leading the way forward with the "Order of Chaos"... A sinister story full of inky darkness, it slowly creeps its way forth from the minds of these two sonic alchemists. Following suite, a new face of the Twilight Core emerges – the new deeper and darker side project of Phonix boss Etnarama - NNP (PT/UK). Stretching the human consciousness to the very edge, this delicious concoction will drive some listeners "Insane" with its relentless beats and haunting melodies. Now left to contend with the energy center of the Twilight Core, here Mexican manipulator Roby presents his powerful retelling of X-Side's menacing "Dominate". Roby's unique take on this classic leaves no doubt as to why it was picked as a runner up winner of the Dominate Remixes competition hosted jointly by X-Side (Mexico) and Phonix Records. Not to be outdone, Spanish beat hacking duo – Psycho System – return with their single minded dedication to the transmutation of sonic waves resulting in the "Revival of Energy". An awesome story with melodies that resonate strongly with the will of the Twilight Core! And so as the resonance reaches a frantic crescendo, listeners are treated to an intense and deep understanding of the inner workings of the Twilight Core. It’s a place for introspection where one can retreat unto themselves only to discover with the help of Aquedeux - the mysteries of "Subconscious Telepathy". A marvelous yet haunting experience which couples lush soundscapes with powerful rhythms. To end things, sonic wizard Zabot (PT) leads the way into the realms of the "Golden Age". A goa inspired epic where one understands the nature of the Twilight Core and its mysterious purpose in modern human society. With this, the 15th release from Phonix Records, we are proud to continue supporting the music and the artists we believe in! The Twilight Core not only represents the many forms and shapes the music we love takes, but it is also our way of thanking the fellow aliens and friends who identify and continue to support our mission. Now is not the time for any further words, now is the time for the Twilight Core. TRACKLIST: 1.
