Phobotrax is a project founded by Igor Wasilewski, a composer from Poland who has been living with his family in Japan for a long time. The author is also known as Igor Washirei and Astroplex, and he writes music since the 80s. The musical direction of the project is as close as possible to the classical SpaceSynth style with additional Italo-Disco inclusions or contains its elements.
Some of the first songs such as "To The Stars", "On Cloud Nine" and "In The Galaxy" immediately attracted the attention of electronic music fans, and the track "A Better Place" became a hit and brought the composer a wide fame. This track is included in the Spacesynth.de Contest TraxX selection that was released on CD by the German label Audioenergy Music Productions in 2007. Several more tracks followed, and already in 2011, the author released his debut album called "Back To Kellion", which was distributed online for free.
There are many works in other styles on the musician's YouTube channel, as he likes other genres and knows how to experiment with music and vocals. The author also had projects similar to Spacesynth like "Solar Foot" and "Ganimedo", which also deserve attention of listeners. After that, there were no new themes, the musician had a lull in his work and he gradually moved away from active activity, becoming more involved in his family life and daily work.
In 2018, the label SpaceSynth.Ru released Phobotrax - To The Stars (Including Other Remixes), a 2-disc collection of remixes on the project's compositions. All remixes for the issue were made by other SpaceSynth artists, presenting their musical vision of these creations to the listener. For this collection, author made his own remix on the song To The Stars (Phobotrax Remix 2018).
Since November 2018, Igor began presenting his singles in the Bandcamp online store, where most of the extended and remixed versions by the Phobotrax project were published, where music lovers could also get acquainted with the musician's new works, which in their melody and quality were not inferior to previous compositions. His remixes can also be found in publications from the Polish sound recording label Italo Box Music.
The last two tracks of the project, titled "The Shuttle" and "We Are In Space", were officially released on CD by the SpaceSynth.Ru label on the Space Odyssey. Trip Five - New Year's Voyage 2019 (2018) and Space Odyssey. Trip Seven - New Year's Voyage 2021 (2021) collections, respectively.
