Phil Kieran

From music obsessed teenager, DJ-ing with Indie records stolen from his elder brother to the Internationally celebrated artists of today, Phil Kieran’s career has been quite a journey so far.

Nowadays, Phil plays a relentless schedule of dates, headlining throughout Asia, South America, Europe, and of course the UK while also releasing on such reknowned labels such as Soma, Kingsize, Yoshitoshi, Novamute and Skint (home of his current Alloy Mental project). His style has a love of good music at its core. With Electronica as his launching pad, the prolific producer and hard working DJ has travelled the spectrum of electronic music styles. Always rife with jagged energy and throbbing baselines, a Phil Kieran DJ set or track can confidently guide a dancefloor through a labyrinth of emotions using Techno, Electro and House as signposts with the odd detour via Joy division and Depeche Mode.

Phil struck success early on with his now anthemic tune, “Vitalian House”, which was picked up by Adrift A&R (then A&R for Kingsize), Julian Shay, and released to massive acclaim from a huge variety of DJs. Soon, the producer could hardly fight the floods of artists requesting his “Midas Touch” remixing style. Notorious amongst these re-workings are Agoria’s "L'onzieme Marche", Nitzer Ebb’s "Murderous" and more recently remixes for Sons of Slough, VHS or Beta and the T. Raunmschere album's first single.  

Not content with DJing and Producing, Phil has recently indulged his punky influences with his newly formed band 'Alloy Mental'. Alloy Mental combine Kieran and edgy vocalist Corrigan who have pair embarked on a journey to redefine the boundaries of dance music forever.

Eschewing the dreary repetitiveness common in most dance music, Phil has taken Corrigan's menacing, yet mesmerizing vocals; spliced it with his own brand of darkly atmospheric bleepery, added a healthy dose of heavy guitar riffs, and out came the workings of a debut album which has seen huge hype and support from around the world, including Radio 1 stalwarts Zane Lowe and Annie Mac.

During Alloy Mental's studio lockdown, Phil has continued working on solo productions but only recently lifted his self-enforced embargo to release new tracks on Adrift, Shine and Tronic in 2006.
