...In a time where DJs and performers are 2 a penny, and computer programs have been designed to do the mixing for you, it is refreshing and exciting when an individual can go that extra mile and set themselves apart from the norm.

If you have seen or heard Phil Lankester play, or even discovered him under his ‘Libra 9’ guise, you will know that originality and excitement go hand in hand with this man.

Since cutting his teeth into the industry over 10 years ago, Phil has built an extremely devout following in London, as well as completing tours in Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.

Starting out promoting his own parties in Brixton, and playing at all the major venues in London, Phil has practiced, developed and perfected his sound. From Trance to Hard Dance, Phil now concentrates on the phenomenal sound of Psy-Trance. With DJ sets and Ableton Live PA’s from his Libra 9 alias, Phil has been performing for his regular crowd at his own night, Puzzle Project and other residencies, Tribal Dance and Magnetix ‘Best New Night 2007’ [Harderfaster.net Awards 2007].

Puzzle Project and Magnetix are both extremely successful parties which were both created and grown with Phil in charge, and have continued their success with headline acts from around the world requesting to appear on their line-ups.

With continual growth as a performer, a string of magnificent CDs and countless hours of event promotion, Phil also helps run one of the country’s longest running, and most trusted Hard Trance labels, Impact Recordings.

With the help of Ben Bennett and Steve Blake, Impact has secured countless number 1’s across the globe.
