Since the early 1990s, Phat Phil Cooper has been navigating DJ culture with a restless spirit and an open ear, shaping a career that has never stood still. From Cream’s legendary dance-floors to sun-drenched terraces across the globe, Cooper has built a reputation not just as a DJ, but as a curator, artist manager, label founder, and storyteller whose journey continues to evolve.

In 2012 he launched NuNorthern Soul, a label that has since become a lighthouse for Balearic-minded sounds and eclectic treasures. Its releases, supported worldwide by DJs and collectors, reflect Cooper’s belief in music as something both timeless and borderless. More than a record label, NuNorthern Soul is part of a broader vision that blends curation, community, and a dedication to championing artists and sounds that might otherwise go unheard.

Now, with over three decades of experience, Cooper is moving beyond the booth. His current projects — from managing and developing artists, to creating YouTube vlogging series that explore culture, landscapes and hidden corners of places like Ibiza, Istanbul and beyond — point towards a future where DJing, storytelling and travel are interwoven. Whether capturing a sunset set in Bali, walking and talking with fellow artists on Ibiza’s coastal paths, or documenting his slow, overland travels across continents, Cooper is carving a new role: that of a cultural guide as much as a selector.

Still, at the heart of it all is the same spirit that defined his earliest residencies — an instinct for the right record at the right moment, and a commitment to creating shared moments that linger long after the music fades. The journey isn’t finished; if anything, it’s only just opening up into new chapters.

On October 1, 2000 Konfekt, Basteroid and Metope founded the electronic music label Areal. Their productions up to this point were the main reason for this decision: no matter wether it was a solo production or a collaboraton, one could always reduce their work to a common denominator. So they decided to give their music a ground to develop: the Areal. In 2008 we established our sublabel IRR (International Records Recordings)

Demo Submissions:

We receive probably 100 demos a week, thats about 25 hours to listen to music.
And guess what! 99% of the music received has nothing to do with what we release on Areal or IRR, so in most cases it's a waste of time to you and to us. If you know the labels and you have the feeling, that it is great to release here and it suits with the areal or irr-sound, then send us your soundcloudlink via email to info @ areal-records.com

We apologize for being so strict, but our time has to be managed well. We just dont have the time to listen to more than 15 demos a week.

Hope you can understand

Have a nice day.

Areal Records-Team
