Philogresz a.k.a. Ilker Soylu was born in Turkey's metropolis Istanbul at the beginning of the 80s. In the summer of 2002 he moved to The Netherlands and started his education in music production at the Art Academy of Utrecht (HKU). Soon after he has set up his own company, 078 Productions, and has been working as a promoter for more than 5 years. Philogresz' sound is moody, melodic, jazzy and organically composed, yet it is arrogantly arranged techno with absolutely no boundaries. Confident enough to experiment on stage with complex beats and percussive lines, he moves people with his subtle style. Currently he is responsible for label and A&R management of Team Records started by Dutch techno producer Secret Cinema. As an artist he has released his 'Debut on Blackwarm', as well as his 'Milestone EP' on Ware.
