Maintaining a career for over 20 years is no mean feat in any profession and, when it comes to the world of music it’s even more of an achievement. As a music collector from day one, Phil's move into the world of DJing was a natural progression, giving him the perfect platform to share his love of music. Rising up during the superclub era, he was a mainstay at Cream in Liverpool and Amnesia in Ibiza. The depth of knowledge acquired through his voracious appetite for digging providing the foundation for a DJ career that has seen him booked to play all over the globe. This means that, over the course of 20+ years behind the decks, he has acquired an unrivalled understanding of his music loving audience. From soundtrack- ing 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.
Phil’s career includes owning and running record shops, labels, radio presenting, artist management and his own PR agency. NuNorthern Soul Records is the jewel in his crown of ventures, with an eclectic output from folk to electronica all with firm focus on soul; music that comes from the heart. He also runs KAT and KAT45, which re- lease edits from the likes of Greg Wilson, Rahaan, Jonny Miller and more as well as African Music Corporation, 2Dogs Recordings and Felt Tip Records, among several others that he has launched over the years. Phil’s NuNorthern Soul podcast is another venture to add to his long list of notable achievements, picking up wide- spread plaudits around the world. Essentially, this is a man who quite literally lives for music and is relentless in his mission to spread the gospel of music across its many genres, pleasing the people who grace his dance floors and refining his craft.
Phil 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.
Legendary DJ Alfredo was quoted as saying; “So many DJs still deserve a place and the chance to play, Leo Mas, Phil Cooper, Noel Watson, and many of them they get it.”
High praise, indeed.
With an abundance of experience behind him, Phil’s sights are focused firmly on the future as he continues to push forward, spreading good vibes and music of the highest order.
So sit back and let Phil's selection wash over you and soothe your soul...
