Japanese psytrance artists Phi began in late 2002 and exploded onto the Japanese scene in 2004 with their debut album Phinalizer, which fused elements of more recent full on psy-trance with a heavy dose crazy goa madness on top. In 2005 the members of Phi split up to focus on their respective solo projects, with Shuji working as Slum and Shinnosuke working as Symphonics. On Jan 31st 2006 Shinnosuke Masuo was killed in a scooter accident while vacationing in Goa India.
