Days Like This our proud to welcome back one of our favourite guests so far, Phil Asher ( Restless Soul ) for a special Phlash & Friends Album Pre Release Party.

All this alongside your residents Gary Ward, Charles John & DJ Euge.
One of the unsung heroes of British House, but by no means an underachiever. He is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most proficient deejays/producers and has been indispensable to the progressive musical landscape over the past decade.
As a well respected producer, Phil has completed well in excess of 100 of his own productions, as well as innumerable remixes, all of which receiving high critical acclaim. From his first gig at London’s first House club Delirium in 1991 (slipping on a record when Noel Watson went to the toilet) to more recent gigs at, Off Centre at 333, and Soul Heaven at Ministry of Sound in London and Angels of Love in Italy, Phil has played the length and breadth of the UK, as well as much of Europe. Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Brazil, the CÙte D'azur, Japan, Canada, The States, New- Zealand and Australia will all bare testaments to Phil's prowess behind the turntables.
Along with Luke McCarthy, Phil is the founding member of the restless soul Production Team, which also incorporates producers Modaji, (Laws of Motion Records) Taxi Driver, (Estereo Records), and Roy Marsh, Aaron Ross and Felix Hopkins (also his trusty engineer). He also produces under various aliases, which include Basic Soul and Electric Soul with ex-partner Luke McCarthy, Woolph, Phoojun alongside Nathan Haines, and 12-bit Rephugees with Mark de Clive-Lowe, and Focus, his most recent project. Under this moniker, he's crafted remixes for a " who's who " of soul music including Jamiroquai, Bugz in The Attic, 4 Hero, Earth Wind & Fire, Reel People, Peven Everret, Blaze, Jody Watley & Blaze.
As quoted by journalist Jan Peeters, ”But Phil Asher isn’t through yet. With an admirable sense of energy and spontaneity he’ll encounter anything that crosses his many paths and turn it into a musical piece of art. Phil Asher truly is…a master at work.”
Doors open 10pm - 5am and a bargain £5 all night. Last entry 3am.
Hope to see you there !
