Phat Phil Cooper
‘From fourth division to premier league is how Phil likes to describe his breakthrough onto the mid 90’s house music scene. Plucked from relative obscurity, DJing at Chester’s “Sweet” House music night in the North West of England to warm up DJ to the underground stars at Cream, Liverpool by Darren Hughes, promoter and visionary extraordinaire!
