ARTIST INFO

 

Philipe de Boyar is a DJ and producer from Switzerland. Getting into electronic music at a young age, he began working the decks as a Techno DJ. Until he heard Daft Punk that is – their first album had a big influence on his musical development during the following years. Nowadays, Philipe incorporates many different styles of music – also form outside the electronic sphere – into his creative output.
“Music has become one of the most important things in my life”, the Swiss high-riser says today, “so when I’m listening to music it has to move me physically as well as emotionally. My goal is to share my own joy and fun with the party crowd, be it as a DJ or a producer.”
His style is best described as a mixture of House, Electro and Breaks, often taken to different musical directions. “So don’t be shocked if I suddenly play a skirt rock track just because it’s a great song.”
His tracks have been popping up various big compilations including October’s 06 MIXMAG cover-mount CD and Philipe de Boyar is grabbing the attention of many DJs and producers around the world. So for the future, there definitely will be more of his releases and remixes - on Erase Records, Southern Fried, Hammarskjoeld, Gene Poole, … to name just a few!
So look out for this up and coming artist who deserves greater popularity!

Boy 8-Bit (Body Clap / Southern Fried)

“I love 'Formerly Unknown’! Its an awesome track. It gets a fantastic reception every time I play it out. I cant see it leaving my "Box" for quite a while yet!!! It works a treat when you need to build the floor back up again. Excellent track!!”

DJ Touché (Body Clap / Southern Fried / „The Wiseguys“)

“I played "Formerly Unknown" at my last 3 gigs, and it got a really good reaction at each one. Annie Mac (Radio 1) came over and asked what the hell it was! Definitely one of my favourite tracks at the moment. I played "Soulfreaka" as my first tune at The Egg, and that went down very well too."

Malente (Unique / Moonbootique)

“Philipe de Boyar macht spass. derber party electro! hab mit seinen (zum teil auch immernoch unveröffentlichten) Tracks schon schuppen von australien bis nach canada zum wackeln gebracht!“

DJ Larse (Radio Eins Live – “L1VE Klubbing”, Targa)

“Formerly Unknown“ ist ne derbe mischung....80's synths a la giorgio moroder , gepaart mit krachigen funk breaks und einer prise techno. das ganze heiß zur peaktime serviert.....i like!

Lars Moston (Moonbootique / Splank!)

"We put 'Formerly Unknown' on our Moston & Malente mix for the 'Kontor - Top of the Clubs' compilation and love to play it out. Always enjoy DJing with Philipe as well, his mix of downright dirty Electro and Breaks rocks the crowd every time. This guy is gonna go far!"
