Karl Phillips
Biography
Karl’s epitaph will most likely be “So much music, so little time.” He’s a former academic and failed musician (Swamp Lust, Warhol’s Babies…no Google hasn’t heard of them either) and avid music collector whose mind got a little blown by the arrival, and abundance, of the internet. His dream ticket is making compilations by day and playing Balearic bar sets by night.
He now spends his time dj’ing, reading books about music and looking after the SourceFM promo pool, where he can be contacted at musicdirector@thesourcefm.co.uk.
Programmes featuring Karl Phillips
Random Jukebox
Refusing to be nailed down to a specific genre, Random Jukebox sees out the weekend with a mostly downtempo rag-tag mix of new releases, album tracks, b-sides, cover versions and other oddities.
This Is Not A Disco
Two hours of brand new releases, and reissues, albeit with a strong leaning towards the quieter, and sometimes unashamedly stranger, end of the audio spectrum

This station is great. I listen in my workshop during the day in New Jersey USA . Keep it up. Dave. Hope to visit there someday.

I just discovered your wonderful station! Wow love it....from Barbara Hepworth to the Buzzcocks! Very cool indeed. I grew up as a kid in Cornwall (St. Day and Grampound) in the 60's my family emigrated to California in 1967. My love for anything brewed in Cornwall is strong! I have spent the last 40 years as a Graphic Designer for TV and Print here in Los Angeles, I was also an online DJ for a local station here. So happy to have discovered Source!
