Philogresz aka Ilker Soylu was born in that huge metropolis of Turkey Istanbul at the beginning of the 80′s!

In the summer of 2002 he moved to The Netherlands and started his education of music production at Art Academy of Utrecht (HKU) and later stage SAE (School of Audio Engineering). Soon after he has set up his own company 078 Productions and has been working as a promoter for more than 5 years which had to end depending on his passion for music productions, performance and recordings.

Philogresz’ sound is moody, melodic, jazzy and organically composed; yet it is arrogantly arranged techno with absolutely no boundaries. Confident enough to experiment on stage with complex beats and percussive lines, he achieves his intention of moving people with his subtle style.

He has so far put out our records on labels (selected):
WARE, Night Drive Music, 3rd Wave, Perplex, Manual, Stolen Moments, Magnitude, Sound Architecture, and his own imprint TEAM records.

Currently he is responsible for label and A&R management of TEAM Records started by Dutch techno producer Secret Cinema/Grooveyard. As an artist he has released ‘Debut on Blackwarm EP‘ including remixes by Secret Cinema and Qbical, which had numerous overwhelming reviews on International Media, including DJ Broadcast, Ibiza Voice, Beatfreax and The Clubbing.

In the past years, he presented himself as a producer of the deeper moods of techno and got the attention of: Dubfire, Luciano, Sasha, Ricardo Villalobos, Martin Eyerer, Joris Voorn, Karotte, Steve Lawler, Rejected, Rulers of the Deep, Tyler Stadius, Matthias Schaffhäuser, Laurent Garnier and many more.

Alphatown have played alongside such world class artists as Derrick May, Mr C and Ben Sims, at the Big Day Out and as residents at the infamous Tech-ni-kal nights at Sydney’s Chinese Laundry. Not to mention many, many gigs (big and small) with Sydney’s best: people like the Mad Racket crew, Future Classic, Hi-Jinks, Biz E, Lorna, Mako, Meem, Motech and all the others whose support and encouragement have been vital ingredients in the band’s success. The Alphatown boys have spent most of the winter locked away in the studio, and as always have a whole new swag of material that they’re positively itching to unleash on receptive ears.
