About Me


Phil Source aka Phil Aslett is from St. Albans, Hertforshire in the U.K.
Phil was one of the original members of the legendary Source Direct.
Source Direct originated back in (1992) as Sounds of Life when Phil was 16.
Sounds of Life were originally engineered by Rupert Parkes the legendary Photek.
Phil's first ever Sounds of Life tracks were released on Certificate 18 and were supported immediately by the likes of Grooverider, Fabio, Peshay, Doc Scott and LTJ Bukem.
Phil then went on to record tracks for his own imprint Source Direct in (1994-1999) famous for big tunes like "Snake Style" and "The Crane."
Numerous releases on Goldie's Metalheadz imprint (1995-1998) LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Records (1995) and James Lavelle's Mo Wax recordings (1996) set Phil up to be approached by Richard Branson's Virgin Records and MCA Music Publishing for a major record deal (1996-1999).
Having collaborated on two Albums for Virgin by (1999) and toured the world with the Source Direct sound (1995-1999).
Phil was then asked to produce music for the Hollywood blockbuster "Blade" featuring Wesley Snipes.
Phil left Source Direct in 2000. He felt that he had achieved all that he could as a member of Source Direct with over a 100 different releases spanning over the 8 years (1992-2000).
Phil had a long break from the Drum and Bass scene (2000-2006).
He is now back and his full attention is now focused on his new imprints Vampire Records, Diablo Records and Vamp Tech Records.
Vampire Records and Diablo Records have been set up to release Drum and Bass of all styles and will feature many different artists over the coming years.
Vamp Tech Records has been set up as a digital label and will release house and techno music.
This is one of Phil's main influences from back in his youth.
You can hear the influence of house and techno in his early Source Directand Sounds of Life material.
There are going to be many releases on Vampire Records, Diablo Records and Vamp Tech Records in the near future so watch this space!
Phil Source is back to stay!!!
