English
Ungovernable and disobedient - Juan Felipe has devoted his time in the studio to cultivate his alias, Monsieur Philippe. In this process, he has been honing his sound, characterized by a harmony of chaos and structure. He is a sound artist, mixing & mastering engineer, and screen composer. Felipe grew up between Cali and Medellin, Colombia, and as a teenager he understood music as a clarinetist. Monsieur Philippe makes Deconstructed club music that maintains a perpetual motion - a fusion of psychedelic, dystopian, and experimental sound design, syncopated or swinging grooves, unexpected dissonances and magnetic low ends.
His other monikers “Arequipe” and “El Jardinero” as well as collaborations with Colombian based Juanito State , and AdJust in Time (Aka Psypher) as the duo “Döner Dubzz”, and many others have offered extra room for more creative explorations since he moved to Berlin in 2022 to study music.
Felipe's latest EP “Yes Lord!!!” was released in Shepard Tone Recordings (11/10/2024) marks a pivotal phase in his discipline of sound alchemy, showcasing the intricacies within his music and its continuously exploratory journey.
