Could i have your attention please...?
While psychedelic trance music is searchin' for new directions in the purpose to exceed standards that are currently definiing its limits, the time has come to welcome a new music alchemist in the name of Will Decaestecker, more known under his main project, Phonic Request.
In his City-Lights based studio, Phonic Request has constantly pushed back facility and organized musical writing around an axiom which defines nervousness and esthetic all along these 9 pieces that invade your body with frenetic pulsions.
The journey begins gently with a progressive tune from the young and talented Side-A project (Spiral Trax/Groove Zone) re-cooked by Will wicked hands, in a flood of bass vibrations and gracious soundscapes wich remind those used by Michael Andresen with his 12 Moons project. This beginning is undoubtedly the proof of Phonic Request eclectism effort by building an unique progressive structure, and sounds promising for the near future.
Once Invasive Process takeoff has been achieved, the plane increases its speed to brew the wind and waves with more and more sonic pulsations, where madness goes further than gravity laws.
Phonic Request offers us a landscape once the System Init is launched, with one of the best bassline ever heard since the X-dream's Electromagnetic anthem.
Heavy and dark, with an incredible relentless drive grabing you into the deepest essence of trance music
In the purpose to give the maximum diversity for that long play, Will teamed-up with the growing and talented Shagma french project. This time, the sound is still faster than the previous one, Dual Scream installs a psychedelic climax where melodies and pads are so dreamy and fluid it's almost unreal, but surely always groovy.
The plane takes its cruising speed in delivering a proper psychedelic piece in the tradition of Phonic Request earlier's music, but with an almost perfect production quality. Syntax is a gorgeous composition, wicked and twisted sounds answer to another amazing bassline which carries listeners higher in a deep state where music takes bodies control.
Instead of slowing down, Invasive Process continues to maintain the high pressure and takes hallucinated travellers in custody.
Brain invasion is definitely in process, walking through a kaleidoscopic tale with psionics medicines provided by Invasive Process which is assurely the most addictive composition Phonic Request could give us. Complex rhythmic structures imbricated with huge bassline, together opening the big room of reverbs and trancy pads; this is almost the perfect receipt an artist could invent.
It could be difficult to maintain the same level after this magnetic storm, but the plane is still in the stratospheric environment, this time harbouring another Phonic Request partner, Principles of Flight.
Here is a pure psyche writing, skittish and intense. Twirling, playful, syncopated acid-lines are all over the place for a multilayered track that let think Principles of Flight could be a project on which we'd rather put under supervision.
Producing a calmer atmosphere, polished sounds supported by rhytmics in the style of Koxbox scientists, Mekagroovik doesn't betray its affiliation with these powerful rhythmics and tortuous melodies... But as a contrast, samples used here bring somehow melancholic and nostalgic feelings, warming hearts in a peaceful state. We could say it's a night & day composition that reflects Will audacity and his will to make good music above all.
The trip is almost close to the end but Phonic Request's wizardry doesn't want to unleash his victims and gives them back their sanity. In the wish to complete is duty, Will wrote two last tracks especially in the purpose to achieve us with very playful sounds and full of oddball twists and turns. Disturbing behaviour and Drop filter are truly psychedelic by essence, exceeding even the potential of psyche music leaders as Derango or Grapes of Wrathes to quote only these two there.
This is surely a very good conclusion for that amazing exercise provided by Phonic Request. Rare are those who succeed the try as much as this Invasive Process LP in a few lap of time.
Will seems to have worked hard and for a long time before releasing his music, he's clearly one of those who believe in the trance music potential and its ability to transcend limits in breaking the codes, that makes the richness of a genre based on a prolific source of influences.
Will succeeded in taking the essence of that assumption and we can be sure it's only the beginning, as much for studio music as for live performance.
