Howay man PPC - what's this please, a dream of a track ?

Our Guest Mix series hits #30 today, and with this in mind we are pleased to share a very special mix from legendary DJ, Phat Phil Cooper.
 
Since the 1990s, Phil has been on a journey through DJ culture and electronic music and has travelled the word playing clubs, resorts and festivals in countries including Bali, Croatia, the USA, Singapore, Australia & Brazil. Through his work as a DJ, label manager, curator, record shop owner, event organiser and music consultant, Cooper has remained a central figure in the Balearic music scene.
 
Musically, Cooper has long been celebrated for his diverse approach to music. While naturally at home championing seductive, sun-kissed sounds, Cooper’s roots can be traced back to the dance-floors of legendary Liverpool, UK club Cream, where during the 1990s and early 2000s he was a key resident DJ. Three decades on, Cooper’s club-moving skills remain as sharp as ever, leading some to compare him favourably to Mr Scruff, Harvey and Gilles Peterson.
 
Now residing in Ibiza with regular sunset sessions at La Torre, Phat Phil Cooper remains one of electronic music’s unsung heroes. His label NuNorthern Soul celebrates its 10 year anniversary this year and has released amazing music from the likes of Ilija Rudman, Ron Trent, BJ Smith, Coyote, Private Agenda and has unearthed lost classics in the reissues of Ryo Kawasaki, Bianca and El Turronero.
 
Cooper has provided an absolute gem of a mix spanning 2 hours of sun soaked, genre hopping vibes!

Pete Herbert - Campfire 6th April 2023

Gordon Milson AKA DJ Gordon M started DJ’ing in 1990, inspired by the growing scene in the musical melting pot that is Manchester. He has previously played at the Milk Bar in Ibiza and throughout the UK in the 90's. Gordon continues to play out (albeit more locally), holding residencies in basement bars across Manchester, UK. Gordon currently hosts a run of afternoon sessions at The Norfolk Arms in Marple Bridge, Stockport, featuring a range of special guests who share the same musical ethos. Entitled Café Del Marple, a respectful ode to the place where it all began.

We asked Gordon to give us some insight as to the music he has chosen:
'The mix is a selection of records that have featured on my radio show Universal Balearica over the past year. Put together to represent the feeling around the sunrise; Going into a new day in the current world with a degree of uncertainty, a meditative element, but ultimately with hope'. 
A big thanks to Gordon M for taking the time to record this awesome mix for the series.
