Bass Junkie (Battle Trax, Control Tower, Electrix)
Phil Klein and electro go a long way back. A fan of electro and hip-hop since 1982, Phil started Djing in 1986 and began making his own tracks the following year. As Cybernet Systems and Bass Junkie (his project since 1997), Phil has recorded for various imprints such as Touchin Bass, Audio Illusion Recordings and the infamous Control Tower run by The Dexorcist and Radioactive Man, Keith Tenniswood.
Phil has a eagerly anticipated EP ready for 2004 release on Electrix, the dancefloor friendly electro label run by Billy Nasty, and is also signed to the London based Breakin’ Records run by electropop legend Ed DMX. Not content with releasing tracks on other people's labels, Phil has also run the internationally acclaimed Battle Trax imprint since 1996.
His style is booming bass heavy electro that takes no prisoners; taking its inspiration from soundsystem shattering Miami Bass and also from the masters of old school electro such as Kraftwerk, Juan Atkins and Egyptian Lover. His machine funk skills have earned him invitations to play all over the world, both as a live act and a Dj. He has been the remixer of choice for the likes of Man Parrish and Radioactive Man. 2004 saw him play throughout Finland on the Vikings of Bass tour with Finnish artists Mr Velcro Fastener and Imatran Voima and in Miami playing live dates in collaboration with Scott Weiser (of electro bass legends Dynamix II) whilst the Winter Music Conference was in full swing.
