About

DJ and producer Philo is always on the move. Originally from Cologne with French family roots, Philomène Robinne, now based in Vienna, has long maintained strong ties to many of the UK’s music scenes. Nowadays Philo serves dancefloors in Europe and beyond with campy house, raw breaks and groovy oldschool techno, but initially she made her name as a vinyl-only jungle DJ. Wherever her sets take her, it’s audible that she has seen and heard some things. Her 4/4 explorations are often carried by ravey stabs. In her uplifting house sets, diva vocal chops are subverted by breakbeats and richly layered percussion. And if she plays techno, you know it’s going to bring that 90s warehouse nostalgia. Like any good traveller, Philo explores a lot of territory, and her sets tie together souvenirs from places into a coherent whole. Philo’s unique talents are not a secret to bookers all over Europe: She has made people dance at London’s legendary Rupture, at Fusion festival and at Open Ground - where she didn’t only play but also gave an Ableton production workshop - as well as clubs like Prstr., Pratersauna and Grelle Forelle in her home town Vienna. Add Hamburg’s legendary Golden Pudel to th

Biography

Philomène Robinne aka Philo proves you don't need decades of experience to understand and push boundaries of a genre. Her originally vinyl-exclusive selection has evolved over time into a digital hybrid to achieve the best possible sound. A regular on UK lineups, Philo played a slot at londons legendary Rupture and moved between festivals such as Fusion, Stone Techno Festival as well as Warning or HÖR in Berlin and Prstr. and Grelle Forelle in her new hometown Vienna. Characteristics of her eclectic selection always involve UK influences, whether it's between breakbeat, 4-to-the-floor or excursions into the realms of house and techno gems - with a splash of nostalgic 90s sound, while always aimed to tell a story with her sets! Recently she launched her own UK music oriented party series Chop Shop with her bestie and DJ KLARYOKO at the iconic Pudel Club in Hamburg. In 2021, together with Marie Montexier, AINO and no:elia, she founded the event series Précey, which focuses on female and non-binary artists to push the scene in Cologne. She also resumed her 'Take a Break' show on Callshop Radio to showcase the variety of her sounds. Not long ago she started producing and released on Nice & Deadly, nonesuch, Stereo45, Defrostatica, Hardcore Energy, Basswerk and Miura Records- more to come soon!
