Philth : Drum & Bass from the deep end.

Since releasing his 100th track in 2017 Philth said he stopped counting, but the prolific artist has shown no sign of slowing down and continues to release music which reaches across the drum & bass scene, from smooth sultry grooves to tweaked-out tech stompers. The array of labels Philth has released on demonstrates his versatile sound: crew-status at Dispatch & Integral; tracks for scene stalwarts Spearhead, CIA, Playaz, Renegade Hardware, Chronic & Fokus; and regular appearances on next-gen imprints Flexout, Lifestyle and Peer Pressure.

The last few years have seen a stream of collaborative projects, including the chart-topping ‘Babylon Sound’ EP with Bredren, deep soul voyages with Phil Tangent as Phil:osophy and the ribcage crushing ‘Heimlich EP’ with long-term associate Wreckless. Connections with MC Fats, Collette Warren, Sense MC and Becca Jane Grey have affirmed his deft touch with vocals and ability to bring emotive songs to the dancefloor, demonstrating his versatility while maintaining consistency across his steady output.

But all the while he has been cherry-picking his favourites and hoarding a vast body of work, now ready to be unleashed as his debut album on Dispatch Recordings. ‘Moments in Time’ is made up of two LP’s of music, and displays the full range of the Philth sound while exploring new depths of emotion and ambient soundtrack-inspired works. Some of the usual suspects are called in for collaborations and vocal features, but there is a deeply personal streak running through the album with soul-searching vocals alongside the powerful basslines. Supported on dub by Goldie and road-tested by Philth & Ant TC1 over the last year, ‘Moments in Time’ can be now heard in the sets of long-time supporters Bailey, Marky, Randall, Artificial Intelligence and the extended Dispatch family. The album showcases an artist on top of his game and will surely elevate Philth into the upper reaches of the genre.

Known for his energy and commitment on three CDJ’s, Philth presents the drum & bass he loves in his own unique way, his sets veering from future soul to pulsating tech-funk in the blink of an eye - keeping audiences on their toes from start to finish with a mixture of smooth blends, sudden switches and his trademark razor sharp cuts. The longer he plays, the deeper he digs, always happy to resurrect the rolling Wormhole sound that inspired him from an early age. Based in London, in recent years he has toured the US and Australia along with regular trips across Europe’s club circuit and all over the UK. Wherever his music has taken him Philth has travelled with boundless enthusiasm and an arsenal of exclusive material. A true DJ who lives for the art of mixing.

The very first full album by Geppetto & the Whales came out on January 2014. This beautifully crafted debut, from this Belgian indie band, sounds mature and young at the same time. It blends beautiful little melodies with overwhelming soundscapes. The first result is the single 1814 a dark but beautiful love song based on a truly fascinating war story. 

The album comes 2 years after they’ve made it to the finals of Humo’s Rock Rally* in 2012 and 1.5 years after the release of the EP People Of Galicove. That EP contains excellent singles such as Juno (daytime airplay on two national radio stations ‘Studio Brussel’ & ‘Radio1’ + 6th place in ‘ De Afrekening’ + 3rd place of Radio 1’s VOX) and Duquesne’s Horse (14 weeks in ‘De Afrekening’), which was very well received by both press and public. Both stations played the track in heavy rotation.
Their EP received all but raving reviews & even resulted in some magazine covers.

Now there’s Heads Of Woe, the first full album was produced by Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Devendra Banhart, Jonathan Wilson...) and the reviews below says it all:
The media heaped praise.

“It has become a pure, often Beatlesque, record on which the songs aren't stuffed with more than it needs, and on which the beautiful three-part harmony jumps in the eye. Songs as Jonathan, Heads and 1814 are accompanied by bright and pure melodies, and the music breaths in a wide, rustic atmosphere..." 
De Morgen ★★★★

"The guys from Geppetto & The Whales have finished their debut album Heads of Woe by which they share a perfectly aimed shot against the winter blues." 
Focus Knack.

"The other half of the record shares this high standard, so it's hard not to be impressed. It's still early 2014 but this might already be THE Belgian Release of 2014." 
GoForMusic ★★★★

"On their debut album, the band proves it is up for the bigger job. Even though it's not an 'easy' record, 'Heads of Woe' blooms a bit more every time you listen to it." 
Gazet Van Antwerpen ★★★★

"We truly wish them a big breakthrough. And with this record it might even work out." 
DaMusic

"Mellifluous listening-pop. Their close harmony makes you gasp for breath more than once... Lots of adventure, pomp and circumstance, wrapped in a beautiful package."
Rif Raf

"If you haven't seen the band prior to the release of this debut album (their live reputation was big from the beginning), you will be more than astonished while listening to 'Heads of Woe'. The steps forward are many, and with seven-league strides. The splendid melodies stayed, and progress was made with their lyrics, dynamics, incredibly beautiful close harmony singing (the band exists of three lead singers) and with the quality of their soundscapes. Old souls in a young body?"
