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.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

DJ in London playing Disco, House, Techno and anything in between. Most importantly music with soul. 

We all want to live in this fantasy past where Larry Levan is playing some Kenny Dixon Jr re-work of some Arthur Russell song that doesn't actually exist.

Phreek is a monthly, members only, not-for-profit celebration parties in Tbilisi for all the freaks out there and their allies who do not necessarily fit into socially acceptable "norms".
Any "profit" from the parties will be donated to charities fighting against racism, domestic abuse and discrimination of marginalised parts of our society.

Phreek is inspired by David Mancuso’s The Loft and Nicky Siano’s The Gallery of early 70s New York City and their ethos of people coming together and having fun, regardless of their background.  No one can recreate what these NYC parties created and Phreek is not about imitating and glorifying the past, but it is about connecting the past to the present.
