Phil Smalley

I began recording my own industrial, techno and metal mixes to host online, both on YouTube and Mixcloud.

I work as part of a team of four individuals to organise and DJ at an occasional club night at Wharf Chambers for the industrial music scene. I create the branding for this project, and I also undertake liaising and booking with the venue, managing its Facebook profile and content, seeking out and communicating with printing companies for flyers and posters, and negotiating with similar club nights in the area for cross-promotion purposes.

I create monetised video game-related content for a regular subscriber base on my own channel as part of the Freedom! network. This involves planning and scheduling the videos I release, creating the channel and video branding, managing the channel and content layout, interacting with my subscribers both on YouTube and social media, using various pieces of recording equipment and software to capture different video and audio elements simultaneously and using editing software to create the final videos.

I work with Slam Dunk Limited at their Key Club venue on Friday nights to provide music in a club environment. In this role I must select tracks, play them skilfully in music-playing software without interruption and interact with customers to take requests. This also requires me to have good knowledge of the music that the demographic want to hear.
