Phil Weeks

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life

Phil Weeks aka Philippe Benkemoun is a French DJ and producer based in Paris. He is the founder of Robsoul Recordings. One of the old school darlings his releases and label releases have seen him become one of the most respected names. His mixing flavour is old school Chicago with a nu-school French flare going from the deepest house to the techiest.

His productions have a timeless sound, coming from early 90’s parties mainly because he uses the same gear: 808’s, 909’s, 606’s, even vintage keys. He prefers vinyl, likes his mixes dirty, and knows how to rock a crowd with a heavy hitting bass line. Phil Weeks is a house purist dedicated to bringing the world only proper house music with his Djing, his producing and his label, Robsoul Recordings. Robsoul was founded in 2001 for Phil to release his own sounds primarily, and has gone on to feature the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, David Duriez, No Assembly Firm, Fries & Bridges and Chris Carrier.
