ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Dairmount, founder, A&R & artist of Room With A View, is the true soul & ambassador of the label that he created in 2009. He is a longtime independent music activist born in Belgium, formerly known by most as Philarmonix. A natural “freestyler” embracing anything soulful & groovy since the late 80’s , Dairmount played & travelled the world for 15 years to find a home in Hamburg, Germany, where he settled down 8 years ago. Collecting records since his childhood, Phil “Dairmount” Darimont (formerly known as Philarmonix by most) slowly discovered the world of spinning with his early heroes such as Dj Premier & Pete Rock, early records of Acid house and the versatility of Gilles Peterson’s Talkin Loud imprint. As a result of this, he immersed himself in the deepness of the Black music history : Jazz, Latin , Hip Hop, Detroit Techno, House and Afro Funk entered his record collection. In the nineties, Phil quickly built himself a solid reputation in the underground club circuit that granted him to play at several major events in Benelux including the famous Eskimo nights (before it became a famous label) or big festivals as Dour, 10 Days Off or Axion Beach and extended his dj trips across Europe & overseas alongside prestigious spinners such as Kevin Saunderson, Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova, Rainer Tru"by, Derrick May, Mad Mats, Dimitri from Paris, Fred Everything, King Britt, Kirk Di Giorgio, Jimpster or 4hero and opened concerts for performers like Herbie Hancock and St Germain. He also proudly represented Belgium at the 2nd edition of the now world reknown Red Bull Music Academy held in 99 in Berlin. He contributed during 8 years as one of the main editors of the respected Plastiks magazine in Belgium before founding in 2003 metronomic-family.com, a web portal as a means to share his musical beliefs with a worldwide audience. Overwhelmed by positive feedback of hungry music lovers worldwide, the site managed to create a prolific discovery factor that contributed many upcoming artists & underground labels to reach a wider audience. Known by many as a “man of challenge & initiative”, Phil moved from his native Brussels in 1999 to explore other countries leading him to live a transatlantic passion for Montreal (where he managed & restyled the legendary Primitive record shop) and landed in Hamburg in 2003 where he is still residing nowadays. Actively taking part to future developments of the ever-changing music industry, Phil took part to the digital revolution in its early steps and became in 2004 (till present) digital export & label manager of cutting edge labels such as Trus’me’s Prime Numbers, Sebastien Tellier’s Record Makers, Soulphiction’s Philpot, Jazzanova’s Sonar Kollektiv, Jimpster’s Freerange, Tiefschwarz’s Souvenir and many others inside the team of the respected digital solutions company Finetunes. Besides his dedication & work for others, Phil finally stepped in the studio some years back to give birth to production projects such as Smiles Ahead (with David Alexander) & Petter & Dairmount (with Ralf Petter) which resulted in remix works for artists as diverse as “ex-Beanfield” Sandboy, swedish prodigies Hird & Yukimi Nagano (from Little Dragon fame) & NYC’s producer Moses McClean on labels like Hinterland (Ger), DNM (Swe) and Still Music (US). With great encouragements and plays from luminaries as Jimpster, Atjazz, Laurent Garnier, Mr Scruff, Sasse or Jazzanova, he caught the virus trying more and more to escape his busy schedule to develop his production skills. This led Phil to become Dairmount, his new identity & production moniker and to the creation of his own production unit with his long time friend Marino Berardi (with who he is recording as Dairmount & Berardi) & to the accomplishment of his long time dream, the launch of his own label, Room With A View, in April 2009. Following 2 first EP’s in 2009 & 2010, 2011 proved to be a very busy year for him with remixes for Jimpster, Audio Soul Project, Feygin and Master-H before summer. A new Perspectives episode & a new Dairmount & Berardi EP are also due this year. |
