CHARLES, SYDNEY / WEEKS, PHIL / SYROSSIAN, DARIUS - [VOL 5] - MOXY MUZIK EDITIONS V5

DJ/producer Phil Weeks is a house music purist. His mixing is old school Chicago with a nu-school French flare going from the deepest house to the techiest. His production sounds like it could have been released in the 90’s partly because he uses the same gear – 808’s, 909’s, 606’s, even vintage keys. He prefers vinyl, likes his mixes dirty, and knows how to rock a crowd with a heavy hitting bass line. Phil Weeks is a house purist dedicated to bringing the world only proper house music with his DJing, his producing and his label, Robsoul Recordings. A true lover of house music, Phil Weeks’ DJ career started 10 years ago.
