Monsieur Philippe


About
English

Anxious and disobedient - Juan Felipe has devoted his time in the studio to counter anxiety and melancholia through his work as the music producer “Monsieur Philippe” - It's often expressed as satirical, sarcastic, or critical but carries a suppressed view in his sound. In this process, he has been cultivating his skills, characterized by a contrast of chaos and structure. He is a sound artist, mixing & mastering engineer, DJ and screen composer. 

Juan Felipe grew up between Cali and Medellin, Colombia, and as a teenager he played music as  a clarinetist.  Monsieur Philippe makes deconstructed club music that preserves a perpetual motion of influences - a fusion of psychedelic, dystopian, and experimental sound design, syncopated or swinging grooves, unexpected dissonances and magnetic low ends. His cinematic and personality-printed music has shades of Jungle/ Tekno/ Bass/ Ambient/ Latin/ Dub/ Noise and Grime and it is often hard to define or classify making it genre fluid.

His other monikers include “Arequipe” - “El Jardinero” - “Dj Cultural Hegemoney” the duo “Döner Dubzz” - Previous and future collaborationsìhave offered extra room for  creative explorations since he moved to Berlin in 2022 to study music production. 

Felipe's latest EP “Yes Lord!!!” was released in Shepard Tone Recordings (11/10/2024) marks a pivotal phase in his sound.

Ansioso y desobediente - Juan Felipe ha dedicado su tiempo en el estudio a contrarrestar la ansiedad y la melanolía a través de su trabajo como el productor “Monsieur Philippe”. A menudo se expresa como satírico, sarcástico o crítico, pero conlleva una visión reprimido en su sonido. En este proceso, ha ido cultivando sus habilidades, caracterizadas por un contraste de caos y estructura. Es artista sonoro, ingeniero de mezcla y masterización, DJ y compositor para cine. 

Juan Felipe creció entre Cali y Medellín, Colombia, y de adolescente conectó con la música como clarinetista. Monsieur Philippe hace música de club deconstruida que conserva un movimiento perpetuo: una fusión de diseño sonoro psicodélico, distópico y experimental, grooves sincopados o oscilantes, disonancias inesperadas y bajos magnéticos. Su música cinematográfica y de personalidad impresa tiene matices de Jungle/ Tekno/ Bass/ Ambient/ Latin/ Dub/ Noise y Grime y usualmente es dura de definir y clasificar en un solo género, haciendola genero fluido.

Sus otros apodos incluyen “Arequipe” - “El Jardinero” - “Dj Cultural Hegemoney” el dúo “Döner Dubzz” - Colaboraciones anteriores y futuras han ofrecido espacio extra para exploraciones creativas desde que se mudó a Berlín en 2022 para estudiar producción musical. 

El último EP de Felipe “Yes Lord!!!” fue lanzado en Shepard Tone Recordings (11/10/2024) marca una fase fundamental en su sonido.
