Phil Stumpf

Phil Stumpf (born 1973 in Germany) has been a musician since 1993 and part of several bands and projects. Having evolved from indie rock in the 80's / early 90's he soon got fascinated and insprired by bands like [a=Mouse On Mars] and [a=Tortoise], electronic music and its minimal structures. Mostly through the work with his band [a=oh.] he "arrived" at the dancefloor, discovered the minimal groove and started to produce club tracks under his own name as well as under [a=Duplex 100] in collaboration with his French partner [a=Sam Rouanet] in 1999. In 2001 he moved to Paris and founded the "Minimal Dancin" clubnight at the Nouveau Casino together with Sam Rouanet. He is also part of [a=Canvas], an electronic jazz band from Paris with Sam Rouanet and James Sindatry.
