Guest Profile - Phat Phil Cooper (NuNorthern Soul, Sick Trumpet, Chibuku Shake Shake)
Phat Phil Cooper. Words alone are not enough to describe the character that is Phat Phil Cooper. Larger than life, boisterous and famed for his gregarious nature as much as his spectacular house based sets that combine electro, funk and of course those pure classics from that envious record collection of his.
This man is a firm favourite with the people in the dance music industry and punters on the dance floors alike, and never ceases to amaze all with his extraordinary choice of tunes nor his famous mischievous antics.
From Chester to Wales to Ibiza to Australia he’s known far and wide and is an unlikely scholar with a fountain of knowledge that is not refined strictly to records. He has an obsessive love for all things that have Soul and earlobe stroking, a personality as large as his erm record collection, and can stick a whole glass in his mouth, yes - in (we have pictures).
Everyone knows the persona of this man and if you haven’t, then it’s guaranteed that you’ve heard one or more of his famous antics over the past decade! If you haven’t then hold tight - you will. Just a DJ? Heck no, this man has personality! He can even get the most hardened and jaded journos strutting their stuff, the most bitter and twisted bores laughing hysterically and he can tell you all about the history of dance without being tedious. Just don’t ask him about aliens.
