Phil Brökelmann (NZ)
[House, Minimalist, Swing]
Born in the mid-seventies Phil Brökelmann grew up in Germany's internationally minded ex-capitol Bonn. After initial piano studies as a young teenager, he was introduced to electronic music in 1992/1993, at the 'Psycho Thrill' club nights...
...by Claus Bachor in Bonn, and "The Warehouse" club in Cologne. Following a degree in philosophy at LMU University of Munich, balanced out by regular nights out at "Ultraschall", Phil Brökelmann relocated to Sydney in 2000 to study music performance and music business management. During his almost two year stint in Sydney he worked as presenter at radio stations Rhythm FM and Eastside FM. During this time he met his first music writing partner Gerard Master, an accomplished New Zealand jazz pianist who lives in Sydney and works as part of the prolific Jazzgroove record label collective.
In 2002 Phil Brökelmann followed a job offer from Compost Records, which he as DJ felt very much connected to, and returned to Germany. In his spare time Phil Brökelmann continued co-writing with Gerard Masters and also networking with his musician friends in down under. In 2004, to actually build a bridge between the scenes on different continents, he founded Curl Curl Music with label manager Andre Quaas (from German label Moon Harbour Rec.).
The Curl Curl Music concept is to release electronic music from the South Pacific (Australia/New Zealand) in Europe, together with European remixes, aiming at the international DJ market. Curl Curl released talented New Zealanders like Opensouls (aka Jeremy Toy) and Simon Flower, and Australians like Bennson (aka Ben Grayson) and Deepchild (aka Rick Bull) to surprising success and feedback. Various sub-licenses followed the releases.
After 3 years of work experience in promotion at Compost Records, and the birth of his daughter, Phil Brökelmann and his partner jumped on a plane again, this time to Wellington, New Zealand. Phil took on a full-time job in marketing for local label Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa. Phil simply was inspired by the music of Trinity Roots, and the unique New Zealand music approach at that point in time.
In New Zealand Phil Brökelmann co-wrote and released on Curl Curl several songs with Gerard Masters under the moniker "Shortboard", receiving airplay on student and dance radio and music TV (with the music video). They gigged together as minimal techno DJ with live jazz keyboards. Phil Brökelmann also invented a DJ/vj club night "Electric Mojo" at Wellington's premier club "Sandwiches" with his partner and video designer De La Stella. On stints to Germany he played at "Registratur" (Munich) and "Watergate" (Berlin).
2007 saw Phil Brökelmann moving from Wellington to Auckland. Today Phil often plays out at Ink & Coherent, Auckland's principal electronic music clubs. He lives north of Auckland in the Rodney district and continues to play out with people like Recloose, Simon Flower, Dick "Magik" Johnson, as well as travelling-through internationals Steve Bug, Matthias Tanzmann and DJ T.
"Black Dog", a solo music production written by Phil Brökelmann, with remixes by Dan Drastic (Hairy Claw) and Pied Plat (Rush Hour), is in the pipeline as eighth Curl Curl release, due in June 2008.
