Philophon

Philophon is a Berlin-based label that was established by [a382519]. The label's main focus is to support the "eucosmic paradigm shift" by promoting local culture with reason, freedom, and a playful spirit. They have their own recording studio called "Joy Sound Studios" located in Kumasi, Ghana. In late 2019, they launched [l1723855] as a sublabel to release external productions from artists associated with Philophon Records. With their dedication to showcasing diverse music and talent, Philophon has become an influential force in the music industry.

Their commitment to supporting local culture sets Philophon apart from other labels. By embracing different forms of artistic expression and giving voice to talented musicians, they contribute to the preservation and celebration of cultural diversity.

With LC 33620 as their identifier, Philophon continues to make waves in the music e-commerce scene. Their passion for discovering unique sounds and promoting artistic freedom makes them a trusted platform for both listeners and artists alike.

"Bitteschön, Philophon!" presents a "best of" selection taken from the so far fifteen 7" releases by the Berlin-based label Philophon. Greats as Jimi Tenor, Alemayehu Eshete and Hailu Mergia as well as new discoveries such as Guy One, Alogte Oho and Y-Bayani echo on "Bitteschön" the wide spectrum of the Philophon catalogue. Philophon puts its emphasis on authentic local styles - from heavy grooving Ethio-Jazz coming out of Addis Abeba to cheerful Frafra-Gospel, as it is celebrated in Bolgatanga/Northern Ghana. Most recordings took place where the music is located - and that's the recipe for Philophon's productions: go to the source and dive into the real.

Bitteschön, Philophon!
