Phil RetroSpector

Phil RetroSpector is an audio-visual artist. Widely regarded as the ‘undisputed master of melancholy’,this reclusive figure mixes emotion rather than beats, stretching the very fabric of popular music (from Hi-Brow to Lo-Fi),to new and exciting contextual arenas.

His debut audio sampler, Intro/Version is a sonic journey featuring moody bootlegs & haunting remixes of Johnny Cash, David Lynch, Charles Bukowski,via The Beatles & Muse. He has recently produced original audio-visual artwork for Absolut Art Collection.
