Philipp comes from a part of Germany, where it´s not very popular to be a producer or DJ of weird, experimental Minimal House- and Techno music: Hamburg City. The big and beautiful „town of the wind“ deep in the north of Germany, whose subculture has sadly almost been destroyed completely by conservative political decisions during the last 20 years.
Born here in the early 70s into a family with intense leanings to ART and music, it was easy to foresee, that his life was up from the beginning unalterably dedicated to SOUND, and the INCREASEMENT of the hearing CONSCIOUSNESS.
 
Looking back on a COLORFUL and well-protected childhood, it was always clear to him, that his life will be about all the music of an extremely wide range of genres, always trying to leave an ear and his mind open for any kind of special, innovative sound, that he could get his hands on (and his heart in).
 
During his blooming youth that was mostly spent in the numerous booths, garages and studios of Hamburg, he kept on processing with the countless underground-band projects he was part of, mainly as a lead singer and bass player. 
Under the early influence of 80´s Eastcoast Hip Hop, MOTOWN Funk, the all surrounding presence of JAZZ, Industrial scapes, Grind- and Hardcore or Death Metal, that were indelibly competing with Classic Music, 12 years of strict piano-lessons, or passionately singing complex works by classical composers as a member of the church choir he was part of for decades.
 
Growing up in all these diverse musical universes, Philipp understood early, that there´s fantastic music coming from literally everywhere - every culture, every scene, every genre - and that life is way too short to miss out on any of that sound.
 
So In the beginning of the 90s, as a very young man, he accidentally slipped into electronic music by attending some of the super cool and secret Acid parties of the early 90s Goa- and traveller scene. Being deeply impressed by this vivid, yet very mystical, exotic and international movement, it didn´t take long for him to become part of the scene. He stumbled into a highly successfull international carreer as a Goa-Trance DJ, was touring the world for many years, playing gigs on the wildest Festivals and Parties in Goa, Japan, USA or Australia. Around 1998 he founded his own record company, the notorious, highly modern and progressive label PLASTIK PARK RECORDS. Plastik Park sold a lot of records all over the world for many years, helping to make a big bunch of young international and very talented musicians from the Trance scene a little more famous. 

In 1999 he took note of the music of Ricardo Villalobos at a Warehouse party in Zurich, which intensively drove him to start evolving into more complex kinds of electronic productions. By the year 2001 - thanks to great labels like Perlon Records or Playhouse Music - it was about time for him to devote completely and actively to the DEEPER and more experimental variations of club music. A short visit at the SAE-Institute in 2005 helped making the decision to start producing music on his own. Since then he is steadily evolving sonic methods to express his intense thoughts and feelings about this complex, ever changing and whatsoever beautiful wonder called LIFE. 
		
Philipp´s tracks and remixes got released on great labels like Igloo Records, formResonance, Fantastic Friends Records, Circus Company, Kompass Musik, Numbolic, Kina Music, Hifreaks, Eminor, Der Hut, and many others.. 
His debut-album ANYWHERE was released on Igloo Records by the end of 2011. ̸ AUSGEWÄHLTE DISKOGRAPHIE  Vinyl Releases:

MR. TOPHAT

Born in Sweden in 1990, Rudolf Nordström—better known as Mr. Tophat—has long been a defining force in Stockholm’s electronic music underground. A producer, DJ, and sonic architect, his deep passion for dance music has driven him to create hypnotic, genre-blurring productions that transcend traditional club sounds.

With a history of curating unique musical experiences, Mr. Tophat co-founded the revered Karlovak label with Art Alfie in 2011, a platform for house music built for nights that defy endings. He also helms Junk Yard Connections, established in 2008, a label known for its strictly limited, no repress approach—making each release a sought-after collector’s item.

His solo work has garnered critical acclaim, with both of his solo albums receiving Grammy nominations, a testament to his ability to push the boundaries of electronic music while maintaining a deeply personal and innovative sound. Following the release of "This Is Pop" (PIAS x Twilight Enterprise), he continues to explore new sonic territories, with upcoming music on Karlovak and a highly anticipated new album with Axel Boman, blending dancefloor euphoria with avant-garde textures.

His collaborations span both the mainstream and the underground, having worked with Robyn, Kleerup, XOV, Lune, and Jelly Crystal, among others. He has been spotlighted by major global media outlets, including MTV, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, and Pitchfork, further cementing his status as a forward-thinking artist with a broad cultural impact.

On stage, Mr. Tophat continues to appear at some of the world’s most intriguing venues and festivals—sometimes in grandiose settings, other times in shadowy, elusive late-night sanctuaries. Whether behind the decks or orchestrating immersive live performances, he remains an unpredictable and compelling force in electronic music.

Fabrice Lig is considered by his peers & techno fans around the globe as a world class producer.

He is well known for his particularly funky use of Roland’s sh101 analog synth, and for his particularly emotional and personal melodies and harmonies.

There is no doubt that after more than 20 years of teaching himself production processes, complex midi programming and harmonies, Fabrice’s sound is unique and recognisable among the thousands of weekly techno releases.

Demonstrations of these skills appear on the crème de la crème of electronic music labels such as KMS (Kevin Saunderson), Planet-e (Carl Craig), Submerge, R&S, Third Ear, 7th City Records (Dan Bell), F-Communications (Laurent Garnier) , Versatile, Classic, Compost, Subject Detroit, Motech, Raygun, Playhouse Records, Kanzleramt (Heiko Laux), 70 Drums (Ken Ishii), Clone, Trapez ltd and so on...An exceptional discography into mythic labels, into history of electronic music.
By the end of 1998, after his first DJ and production experiences, under the Interwaves and Bug Orchestra nicknames, Fabrice was elevated to the ranks of the Detroit musical elite by Mad Mike himself, thanks to his classic remix of E-Dancer’s Banjo track on KMS: “Fabrice is a part of Detroit music's history by being the first white producer to record on KMS, and the first double groove recording from NSC”.
Fabrice has built a solid discography and reputation, confirmed by his reknowned appearances at the world’s best clubs & festival line ups such as Panorama Bar-Berlin, Fabric - London, Womb-Tokyo, Detroit Fuse-In Festival, Fuse - Brussels, Loft - Barcelona, Sub Club - Glasgow, The End - London, Sonar Festival, world famous official Montreux Jazz Festival, Bourges festival (On stage with Jean-Michel Jarre ), to name but a few. One of the highlight of Fabrice dj career is the paper into Detroit Free press where his performance was voted best dj Set of 2005’s Detroit Fuse-in Festival.
Fabrice also collaborated and remixed some artists like Laurent Garnier, Kevin Saunderson, Agoria, DJ Hell, Ken Ishii, Kenny Hawkes, Rob Mello, Frederic Galliano, Chymera, Trüby Trio…
After his last Soul Designer's album on Third Ear (2007), Fabrice decided to take a bit of a break from music and concentrate on some educational projects. Nevertheless, he released his classic Purple Raw EP on Versatile in that period, as well as some own EPs on R&S, Subject Detroit, .. next to a few remixes. Over the last few months however, Fabrice quietly prepared the celebration of 20 years of music by producing a new album with the idea to make a strong “come back” with fresh material for late 2014.
And when Carl Craig first heard "Galactic Soul Odysseys", he instantly decided to invite Fabrice to join Planet E's prestigious family. Once again, Fabrice work is entering history of music through one of the most respected labels from the techno community.
Fabrice is really excited to be back on tour for live performances around the globe and to present that new material to his fans...

As Jean-Michel Jarre said in an interview for MTV : "What is touching me in Fabrice Lig's career is the way he is following his own line, without caring about trends, and that's the path an artist should follow. It is not post Detroit, it's an emotion"


This was a war of values!&#13;
 Compromise was unthinkable!&#13;
 Rational discussion was hopeless!&#13;
 Our only hope was well-funded antagonism!&#13;
 We needed your money to keep the fight up ;)&#13;
