Phil RetroSpector – Melancholix Anonymous by philretrospector
Just did a minimix for STATE.IE
Says editor Niall Byrne,
Numero 15 in the State Mix Series comes from Galway mashup artist and bootlegger Phil RetroSpector. Phil specialises in twisting original songs into much more than dancefloor fodder, often going for the jugular of raw emotion with a heavy dose of melancholy. He often matches these rich sonic cut and paste palettes with self-made evocative videos.
With this mix, titled the Melancholics Anonymous mix, Phil RetroSpector stretches the fabric of popular music in new and interesting ways taking in contributions from Johnny Cash, Muse, Nina Simone, David Lynch, Angelo Badalamenti, This Mortal Coil and Sigur Ros.
Enjoy & weep…

The Guys over @ Mashup Industries got in touch recently and asked me for a track for Café del Mash Volume 2.
For some reason I ended cutting up George Michael and gave him a strictly horizontal makeover with spaced out Winona. The result is White Whisper.
(Well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it)

Swiss fashion/culture magazine Edelweiss,
recommend INTRO/VERSION in their January issue.
“Phil Retrospector, poète du «mashup»
Nancy Sinatra, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, David
Lynch, Nina Simone, Johnny Cash, les Beatles et
Nirvana… réunis ici, tous ensemble, comme vous ne
les avez jamais entendus. Tentant? Champion mélancolique
du mashup (l’art de coller deux morceaux
l’un sur l’autre et d’en faire naître un troisième
par une réaction de chimie sonore), l’Irlandais Phil
Retrospector l’a fait. Ludique, poétique et superbement
entêtant, son album Intro/Version rassemble ses créations de ces
dernières années. Avec l’humour en prime sur Elton’s Glasses, où Elton John
se love dans les violons de Philip Glass. Fabuleux.’

Thanks for all the great feedback & kind comments regarding INTROVERSION.
If you haven’t already downloaded the album but are curious to hear what the two new trax sound like, wonder no more. Listen & weep…
