The Dutch musician Niles Philips creates a mixture of break beat music with funky elements, a touch of electronic ingredients and a slight raw edge. His style varies from lay back listening bits to catchy danceable grooves.

Niles Philips grew up with the electronic music scene (and the connected dance scene). This always kept him interested in the history of music “to move on”. Through the time he developed a huge passion for Soul music, Funk, Rare grooves and related styles from the mid to late 60’s. It where the drums and bass driven grooves with a slight, raw edge and catchy melodies that attracted his attention especially. As a musician Niles got more and more inspired by those “old grooves” and music originated from those grooves. He started to ask himself the question, if it would be possible for him to combine his view of “yesterday” with his perspective on music “today”. After a while of experimenting the result is a slightly raw style of “grooves”, with catchy melodies and sounds, build around bass and drums. In 2008 Niles’s first musical pieces in this style where signed by Timewarp music (GR).
