Phil
Kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for
more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his
own name. Known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer
twelves,Belfast-based Phil has hooked up with German powerhouse Cocoon
in recent times.Sven Väth's label is now about to release "Shh", a
groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain Phil plaudits
across theboard.
"Shh seems to not only reference every sound
Phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh
and futuristic way. Listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub
reggae, old hardcore like LFO, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as
Autechre/Black Dog and other Warp staples, as well as the futuristic
techno that Phil excels in. For the album Phil went back to old sound
lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. Utilising some of
these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a
combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and
some live new instrumentation as well. There are live drums, some
electric/acoustic/bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some
choice guest vocalists.”
[Cocoon]
"I tried to use all my
knowledge from when I first got into music to try and make an album
that captures everything I've ever loved about music," Phil says. Phil
has synthesized his myriad of influences into one radically beautiful
whole: blissed-out vocal samples, space age electro, cavernous bleeps,
fizzy technoid 4/4 beats, glistening glitches, crackers crackles, early
R&S sounds, warm keys, acerbic bassline undertows, dense echoes,
Orbital cinematics and randy robotics all feature, but really this is
an album far greater than the sum of its parts. It's very much a
..home.. or car listening album, perfect for post-club play, although
plenty of the individual tracks contain discerning dancefloor dynamics
too.”

" killer album !!! full support !! " 5/5

"awesome,
modern and retro in one, warm and personal enough to be one of a very
small number of dance music albums i'll actually listen to in my
house.."
[James Holden]
"wow, sounds amazing .....perfect
new school techno....played resp 3 nights in a row for mega-aussie
festivals......will be played at every show" -
[tiga]
"Phil's
music has always been on the cutting edge of electronic music ,he has
defied easy categorization and helped to steer electronic music into
exciting and uncharted territory".
[Dubfire]
" it is what I
hoped to get. A strong, dark and deep longplayer with variations from
clubtunes to electro to chillout.Produced with love and lots of little
details which make it a worthwhile listen carefully. Probably my
favourite album this year "
