Dance
A.k.a. Phill Corpe

The ability to incorporate multiple genres while still retaining your own sound is an admirable quality, and one such trait resistor prides himself on achieving. From early hip hop, glitched out electronica, to rock metal and film score, all of which in some way play a part in creating the resistor sound. Phill’s musical history is a long and varied one. Starting out playing guitar in local Brisbane metal Bands from 1990-1997, he always had the passion to create music on his own terms. It wasn't until the late 90's technology allowed this to happen. To cut a long story short, he discovered electronic music in the form of Big Beat. Through names like the Crystal method, Propellerheads, Chemical Bros and Fatboy Slim, the connection grew closer between his rock & metal roots to his new-found love for chunky beat driven dance music. From 2003 to 2007, Phill was a co-manager of Brisbane’s premier breakbeat/D&B club night – phats Albeats, which at the time was the longest running club night of its type. Running monthly events at the Empire – Fortitude Valley. In March 2012, resistor made his first full length album début on 96KHz Productions. With almost 2 weeks at number one on the Beatport top 100 breaks charts, and reaching 39 overall, the album was favorably received by the DJ and electronic music community. Phill is also a member of UK electronic outfit - robosapiens,who have just released their first full length release - dystopia , which is now out through all good digital outlets on dead famous records. Outside of the electronic circles, he is also part of a studio metal project - KILL[UR]SELF, who are currently working on a debut album due out end of 2015.
