Summary
Phil Kieran joins Chris Hawkins on How To DJ to talk about the moments that shaped his career — from blagging his first DJ set at Belfast’s Limelight to becoming one of electronic music’s most respected producers. Phil reflects on discovering dance music in the early 90s, learning through trial and error, and why making mistakes is still central to his creative process. He also talks about producing on early hardware, breaking into international DJing, moving into film scoring, and why staying uncomfortable is often the key to creating something original. Plus, stories about David Holmes, Andrew Weatherall, Berlin, Belfast, and the records that changed everything. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
