Mule vs. PHIL Scandinavian Tour (Mule 8 years anniversary)
Christopher Rau
Hamburg-based DJ/producer’s woozy sounds were weaving their melancholy magic for such keenly-followed local publishing houses as Smallville and Laid. Working alone or, as on this year’s “Cloverleaf Days,” with Jacques Bon, Rau’s staked out an affecting sound that marries cotton-packed miniature melodies to gently determined rhythms. These days Rau is held in the highest regard amongst his peers and is producing some of the most ground breaking atmospheric deep house around and is slowly becoming one of the most important producers in House music today. Releasing on: Mule, Smallville, Pampa, and Aim.

Philogresz
“His sound is moody, melodic, jazzy and organically composed; yet it is arrogantly arranged techno with absolutely no boundaries... A match made in heaven: after a multitude of releases on labels like Ware, Treibstoff, Bedrock, Sound Architecture, Third Wave, and many others, Philogresz a.k.a Ilker Soylu is rooted firmly on the intelligent electronic music scene with his organic and evolving musical composition. The Dutchman‘s (w/ Turkish roots) complex, yet straightforward grooves blend in smoothly in his livesets as he keeps the diversity and energy on the steady level. Still, the artist explores new grounds over and over again. One can still hear the jazzy past, but even those influences went all the way from mere ornamentation to functional pizazz. Having a background as studio manager and label head, he does not lose himself in muddy plug-in mania like so many others do and keeps a steady and conceptual, just like his character… Lend an eye on him as he is getting closer to your speakers each and everyday slowly but surely...
