phonixrec Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Title: V/A – Made In Mexico Label: Phonix Records Cat no. : PHODIGI017 Format: Digital download Release Date: (BeatPort 2 Week Exclusive): October 14th, 2016 World Wide Release: October 28th, 2016 Mastered by Dale Byl @ db Mastering Studios, South Africa More Info: https://www.facebook.com/db-Mastering-129239436996/ Artwork by Derren Nuttall aka Ink Junkie More Info: http://www.inkjunkie.co.uk/ After years of plotting, amigos Ishikawa and Psykoatl finally got together and began playing with the idea of a compilation featuring only Mexican acts making twilight and hi-tech psytrance. Over the course of many knob twisting and beat hacking sessions - they were able to assemble an explosive collection of works from the freshest talent that the Mexican psytrance scene has to offer today, aptly named “Made In Mexico”! This saga starts off with newcomers Epitaph and “Talkin Dave”. A haunting and mind bending story - Ishikawa and Psykoatl could not have thought of a more fitting way to start this magnum opus. Following up is the hyper melodic “Dirty World”, produced by rising star - 1.16. This is a deep story full of energy and violins, topped off with a serious bassline that means business. Now that the tone of the compilation is set, Thorus Wrath - runner up winner of the X-Side - Dominate Remixes competition - presents his winning remix. A real rumbler of a track, with his signature treatment to the bassline - there is no stopping this beast. Amplifying energy levels even more, Domination takes things to the next level with “Mars Attacks”. Full of furious energy - Domination leads an assault on the senses that is known to manifest itself in listeners through uncontrolled stomping. Just when you thought you could not handle any more energy - Roby and M.A.D (the super powered duo of X-Side and Eyetek), continue the sonic “Invasion”. There is no turning back, there is no surrender. Initiating motivation protocol! Not for the faint of heart, these 3 minds join forces to give you every adrenaline junkie’s dancefloor anthem. If this wasn’t enough, whizz kid Outer Connection thrills with his unrelenting remix of Portuguese master Sidhartha’s “Omniverse”. A beast of a track, for maximum enjoyment and your safety - we recommended that this be played loud, preferably in a large open area. You have been warned! Moving on to the latter half of this release, Psykoatl and Ishikawa shift their focus on to deeper darker sounds. The Concept Nemesis (T.C.N), hot on the heels of his epic “Exhausting the Limit” EP, presents “Subjective”. A deranged twister, with production so clean - one cannot help but grin like a boy with a new toy. Keeping the darker mood going, The Evil Monkey explains to us his “Isolated System”. Equipped with sinister melodies, and enough energy to power a spaceship - this is one system that should not be tampered with. As the release approaches it end, listeners are treated to the triumphant return of mastermind - Akros. With “Omega”, Akros stays true to his original style and presents a cracker of a track which literally explodes with melodies to mark the end of this sonic adventure. “Made In Mexico” is the culmination of months of hard work from the Phonix Family with the sole intention of putting the spot light on Mexico and the new wave of talent that is all but set to take over radio waves galaxy wide! With that said, we humbly ask listeners once more to boldly go forth and again - take us to their speakers and push the limits of sonic manipulation! Viva La Mexico! TRACKLIST: 1.

antic604 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Does this kind of formatting of the post (bolds, colours) really works for younger people? Because I can't see shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richpa Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Because I can't see shit... Hippie level zero Seriously, it's hard to read on my side too, even I'm using this dark(er) skin and my eysight still works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my eyesight is fine but I'm just used to more orderly formatting and kerning of text: color, bolds, underscores, caps, etc. should be used to accentuate particularly important info. But maybe I'm just out of touch with what works well for today's youth - hence my question 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go.. Edited and changed to black for all you boring normals... FYI you should have your eyes checked and also, I don't know what youth you are referring to. Hippie/FUN level ZERO for reals... ZzZzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recursion loop Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You should write the track names in different colours and fonts cause there is no other way to distinguish them, they all sound the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome My dad is fkn colour blind and he could read it. Unfortunately I can't edit that stick up your butt with a few clicks hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does everything on your SC, I realise after a whole 30 seconds of browsing. Can't cure a bad taste in music with colourful text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic604 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 BTW, sorry if you was offended by my comment on bolds & colours, but that really was hard to read - not impossible, but unnecessarily difficult. That's why I was asking if younger people - I'm 40 - prefer that kind of formatting, because it maybe draws their attention more? For me it's quite the contrary. It was a serious question 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't cure a bad taste in music with colourful text what a nice way to advertise your release... i'd be very careful in accusing others of having a bad taste in music, when i put out a compilation that sounds like a superfluous and more bland rehash of cpu's self titled album from 2003. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, anyone with half a brain would recognise my comment directed at you was in no why intended in aid of promotion to this release. Off-topic - Take it as a remark from a promoter to one of the biggest psytrance festival production companies in South Africa and a human who thinks your attitude stinks. Cry me a river. We try to push new full-on night artists and we'll keep doing what we do because we love it, and not everyone agrees with you.. clearly!

Sure did huh. Tbh I think I do this so much and get bored easily so I thought the colours are fun .. But yeah, maybe I went too crazy I was not thinking "age" really. I'm a 34.. and a bit of a crazy woman (maybe that's it.. HAHA) I'm sorry I was a bit of an arsehole too. Totally my bad. I can understand and probably won't ever EVER do that again!
