What happens when you pour the absolute party, years of DJ and production skills in their current state with the almost perfect gentleman into a block and let it out on the street? Reality and imagination would certainly only produce one... What happens when you pour the absolute party, years of DJ and production skills in their current state with the almost perfect gentleman into a block and let it out on the street? Reality and imagination would certainly only produce one name: Phil Fuldner After everything that is said and written about this man every day and with what he fires up the clubs and festivals of the world without a break, you would certainly expect him to become a legend. Instead, here is a man with both feet firmly on the ground and his head incorrigibly in the clouds. Always on the lookout for the ultimate show or the absolute track, the man from NRW explores the boundaries of electronic sounds with dreamlike certainty. A style shaped by a rich musical background, which draws inspiration and nonchalance from songwriting for international pop and dance acts, and has now been reflected in various gold and platinum records. But of course that's just glass, paint and plastic compared to a night with Phil Fuldner at the helm. Here, too, only one rating applies: One step beyond! Straight forward, blessed with spontaneous lane changes and unexpected catapults, every GJ set and every live gig by Phil Fuldner oscillates between a state of emergency and depth of focus and guarantees what one likes to describe with attributes ranging from noisy and edgy to glamorous and unique. Talkin'bout radiant appeal: Years of working as a model and as a presenter for channels such as MTV round off the picture of an artist who knows how to play the most diverse elements on the keyboard of the arts with confidence. It is understandable and comprehensible that Fuldner's calling cards can be found in the form of countless releases and award-winning remixes on the hottest international labels. Phil Fuldner is the man and Phil's Licks is the brand..! With Phil's Licks, Fuldner has established a party series in the Essen club "Hotel Shanghai" that regularly brings internationally renowned artists, acts and DJs to the former cultural capital of Germany and is now famous and notorious far beyond the country's borders. The styles, guests and artists differ and overlap so exceptionally that it is now simply a must for many artists to perform at Phil's Licks. The fine sense of defining a starting point on the electronic map that branches out in all directions is complemented by the radio show, also called Phil's Licks, which pours into the binary ether via egoFM. With a focus on today's house music, progressive & co, through to 80s funk and nu disco rare grooves, a journey is undertaken here every 14 days, during which Monsieur F. throws club sounds into a contemporary guise and thus allows even the smallest part of his audience to participate in the "Fuldner factor".
