Happy Cycling>> PHIL DOCKERTYPhil is best known for his work as part of Futureshock, the electronic duo he formed with Alex Tepper at the end of the 90's. But his career in DJing and Production began a decade earlier when he started his DJ journey in the clubs and bars around Birmingham. His early studio edits led to regular guest mixes on UK radio, these included a regular Sunday evening mix for BBC radio that evolved to become the Essential Mix show. He started Urban Hero Records and worked closely with Birmingham based Network Records prior to starting Futureshock and signing to London's Junior Boys Own. Their Debut single 'Sparc' launched the Futureshock & Junior label Fuju and the genre-defying track found It's way into record boxes of DJ's from across the scene. It was this and other mixes for labels that included Bedrock, Defected, Yoshtoshi and Azuli that helped them achieve the award for 'Best Underground Act' (Dancestar 2001). Remix credits include Futureshock versions of The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Moby, New Order, Groove Armada, Danny Tenaglia, Green Velvet, Luke Slater and Saint Etienne. The album 'Phantom Theory' (Parlophone/EMI) was released in 2003 receiving star reviews in the dance press and launched Phil and Alex into a diary of live shows that included Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading Festival, Homelands and Creamfields in the UK. International appearances included Dance Valley (NL), Skol Beats (Brazil), Gatecrasher (Moscow) and Zoukfest (Malaysia). They also supported Underworld on live shows across the UK and on shows in Asia, a highlight being electraglide in Tokyo. His DJ sets (both solo and with Futureshock) have taken him across the UK, Europe, South America and Asia. The list of venues he's performed at includes many of the so called 'best clubs in the world', these include: Pacha (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza), EL Divino (Ibiza), Privilege (Ibiza), Yellow (Tokyo) Ageha (Tokyo), Womb (Tokyo), Pacha (Buenos Aires), Fabric (London), The End (London), Ministry of Sound (London), Sankeys (Manchester), The Arches (Glasgow), Zouk (Singapore), Propaganda (Moscow), Paradiso (Amsterdam) La Mania (Constanta, Romania) and Kristal (Bucharest). Phil's latest project StatiKman was launched last year and 2012 will see the first new releases along with a selection of remixes, Re-edits and mix tapes.
