Phil Asher - one of the unsung heroes of British House, but by no means an underachiever. He is undoubtedly one of UK’s most proficient DJ's/producers and has been indispensable to the progressive musical landscape over the past decade.

As a well respected producer, Phil has completed well in excess of 100 of his own productions, as well as innumerable remixes, all of which receiving high critical acclaim. From his first gig at London’s first House club Delirium in 1991 (slipping on a record when Noel Watson went to the toilet) to more recent gigs at Off Centre at 333, Soul Heaven at Ministry of Sound in London and Angels of Love in Italy, Phil has played the length and breadth of the UK as well as much of Europe. Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Brazil, the Côte D'azur, Japan, Canada, The States, New Zealand and Australia will all bare testaments to Phil's prowess behind the turntables.

Surrounded by music and records from an early age - his Dad worked in a record chain-store, bringing home all the latest releases to a young and eager Phil, who, unbeknownst to his Father, would take them to school and sell them to his friends. "...when anything came out, my Dad would bring it back to me. I had the first Specials record, the first Electric Light Orchestra record. He'd also bring me little boxes of returns and stuff. We'd sell them at school fairs. All the other kids would be doing Bob the Apple and we'd be getting these twenty seven year old punks coming up from Kings Road for Clash box sets at twenty quid a go. We knew what was going on." This entrepreneurial spirit saw Phil going on to work at Quaff Records and Vinyl Solution, two of London’s finest record stores, instrumental in pushing quality House and Garage to London.

Along with Luke McCarthy, Phil is the founding member of the restless soul Production Team, which also incorporates producers Modaji, (Laws of Motion Records) Taxi Driver, (Estereo Records), Roy Marsh, Aaron Ross and Felix Hopkins (also his trusty engineer). He also produces under various aliases, which include Basic Soul and Electric Soul with ex-partner Luke McCarthy, Woolph, Phoojun alongside Nathan Haines, and 12-bit Rephugees with Mark de Clive-Lowe, and Focus, his most recent project. As well as working under various guises he is also recognised as being one of the pioneering forces in the West London (Broken beat) movement. Phil has been an instrumental part to the scene, from being a founding member of the CO-OP club alongside Dego, IG Culture and Demus to representing and promoting the West London sound worldwide. He is one of those hardworking soul soldiers trying to unite the love for soulful music, breaking down musical frontiers and releasing an eclectic output of quality music.

The current project for Phil is producing a scent of rare grooves that would make even the most dedicated hardcore funk lover run up to the counter at any record store around asking for seconds. With vocalist Zansika, Phil sets off to making history as Raw Fusion A&R Mad Mats puts out the first Raw Fusion 7" with the name Restless Soul on the label.
