Artists/PHONIX

Deutsch

Phonix sind eine Electroband bestehend aus den Mitgliedern Lori J. Ward aka Hifi Princess (CAN) und Tobias Frick (AUT).

Lori J. Ward aka Hifi Princess und Tobias Frick trafen sich 2002 in Graz. Man fand bald heraus, daß es große geschmackliche Übereinstimmungen gab, und machte sich an die ersten Projekte. Ein erstes Ergebnis war 2003 der Track "Disaster o' Mine", der in Kroatien auf dem "Extravaganza"- Sampler released wurde . Ein Remix davon schaffte es sogar unter dem Namen "Disastermind" auf die Love Parade 2004 Compilation. Tobi and Lori machten ebenfalls einen Remix, der auf dem deutschen Highball Music erschien, und beide Nummern fanden sich in den Playlists vieler internationaler DJs zu der Zeit. 2004 begann man wieder zusammen im Studio zu arbeiten, anderthalb Jahre später wurde das erste Album "house of jive" fertiggestellt und "phonix" als Band aus der Taufe gehoben.

Phonix ist der live act und die Produktionen von Lori J. Ward and Tobias Frick.Die sehr verschiedenen musikalischen Backgrounds der beiden - Lori war schon jahrelang als DJ und Producer tätig und Tobi als Gitarrist und MC in diversen Rock/Drum´n´Bass-Projekten- bestimmen den breitgefächerten Sound von phonix. Man macht die Art von Musik, die man selbst hören möchte und scheut sich dabei nicht davor , sehr stilübergreifend vorzugehen.

phonix bedeutet: alles hausgemacht (Produktion, Booking, Visuals, Website, Video, etc. ) 2008 wird mit verschiedenen Labels verhandelt und an der Fertigstellung des zweiten Albums gearbeitet, das sie vornehmilch auf Richtungen wie Electro und Breakbeat einpendelt.

Inzwischen gibt es auch schon einige Single Releases, erhältlich auf beatport.com auf verschiedenen Labels, wie etwa Unlove Recordings oder Elettrika Records.

Lori J. Ward aka Hifi Princess and Tobias Frick met in Graz, Austria in 2002. They realized immediately after a few times talking they had similar tastes and ideas. They went into the studio in 2003 and produced their first track Disaster o' Mine, which was released in Croatia on the Extravaganza Cd Sampler. This track was then re-worked by Lori and 2 producers from Frankfurt and was re-released under the name ‘Disastermind' on the Love Parade 2004 Compilation, highball music, and best of trance compilation. Tobi and Lori also did a remix of Disatermind which was released on Highball Music. Both tracks were charted by many heavy hitting djs and played throughout Europe.

In 2004 they started to work again in the studio together, and after a few months realized exactly what they wanted to put together. After a year and a half ‘House of Jive' became an album and ‘Phonix' was born.

Phonix is the live act and productions created by Lori J. Ward and Tobias Frick. They both have been musicians for many years, but coming from 2 totally different backgrounds. Lori beginning in 1993, and following the electronic music scene, and Tobi in 1990 with the rock/drum´n´bass scene. The combination of the two artists has proven to be a success, bringing a unique sound to the ‘House of Jive' album. It is a combination of down-tempo, electro, breaks and rock elements. It is structured to tell a story and to sail through all the interesting aspects of each genre presented on the album.

Lori and Tobi are both unique personalities and it also shines through with their stage performance.

Phonix also wants to incorporate the visual element to their shows, and so since Tobi is also an talented graphic artist, he has designed eye candy for the performances, and animation. In 2008 a few tracks were released by labels like unlove music/greece and Elettrica Records/ Italy and phonix are working on their 2nd album.
