A.k.a. Phat Phil Cooper Phil Cooper (4)

Phil Cooper currently presides over an extensive catalogue of enterprises and experience that goes back over twenty five years and counting. He commands universal praise and respect from his peers within the music industry thanks to his dedication to his craft, fuelled by a hunger and obsession with sharing music. Phil’s gregarious energy permeates into every aspect of his musical endeavours, from his DJing to his renowned record labels, and he remains steadfast in his lust for music; a perpetual passion which burns just as brightly today as the first day he fell in love with it. Maintaining a career for over 25 years is no mean feat in any profession and, when it comes to the world of music its even more of an achievement. For Phil, it was the only option; as if his life was predetermined by some universal design. A music collector from day one, the world of DJing was a natural progression for Phil giving him the perfect platform to share his love of music. Rising up during the super-club era, he was a mainstay at Cream in Liverpool and Amnesia in Ibiza, where he would weave a menagerie of genres into his sets, which often went on long into the late morning. The depth of knowledge acquired through his voracious appetite for digging providing the foundation for a DJ career that saw him booked to play all over the globe, clocking up a mind-boggling checklist of cities and clubs in the process. Of course, this also means that, over the course of 25+ years behind the decks, he has acquired an unrivalled understanding of his music loving audience. From soundtracking a blissful sunset with general eclectic vibes including Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, Disco, Funk and general Balearic oddities, to deeper, darker House and Techno infused sets during the twilight hours at club and warehouse parties. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Owns and runs NuNorthern Soul label & publishing & Through Gods Own Eyes label +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ex A&R Director at Musica Vitae Limited Ex Executive Producer at Northern Records Ex Label manager at Sick Trumpet Ex Tea Boy at KAT & KAT45 Ex Digger at African Music Corporation +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Also owned Global Grooves record store in Chester, UK
