Phil Hent
At fourteen, Phil traded his piano lessons for beatboxing and joined the Atomic Rappers in Enschede. Around the same time he wired two drum machines together over MIDI, a KAWAI R50 and a Casio RZ-1, and caught the bug for good.
In the mid-nineties he put out two vinyl EPs as Beatbox Creating Euforia with Bart van der Zwaan, then focused on DJing. All of that floor experience feeds his productions today.
He is one of the cornerstones of the Metrohm roster, alongside Tevatron and City To City.
