Raw Artistic Soul sounds like a high-end lounge that accidentally opened its doors to a vibrant street festival. It is the sound of deep house stripped of its mechanical coldness and replaced with the sweat and swing of live musicianship. You will hear the warmth of a Fender Rhodes, the intricate snap of hand percussion, and a rotating cast of vocalists who bring a global, soulful gravity to every track.
What sets Phil Kullmann's project apart is the 'One Cultural Groove' philosophy. Unlike many house producers who use samples as window dressing, Kullmann builds his tracks from the ground up with a 14-piece collective. This results in a dense, hi-fi texture where Afro-beat, Latin jazz, and classic disco are woven into the very DNA of the four-on-the-floor beat, rather than just sitting on top of it.
Start with the album 'Keep On Shining' to hear the project at its most polished and euphoric. It is the ideal entry point for anyone who loves the sophisticated side of dance music but wants something that feels human, intentional, and deeply rooted in global musical traditions.
