Philophon Records is a record label from Berlin, founded in 2012 by Max Weißenfeldt. As founding member of The Poets Of Rhytjms, by the music magazine Wax Poetics called »the godfathers of deep funk«, and the Whitefield Brothers Max Weißenfeldt has already left deep marks on the wide beach of soul and funk music. With Philophon Records he turns over a new leaf. He starts with a handful 7-inches of the Ghanaian musicians Guy One, Alogte Oho Jonas and Roy X (son of the Highlife legend Ebo Taylor) and so focuses on current trends of West African music. With Releases of Ayusef Bayani and Ana’abugre the examination is deepened. With Hailu Mergia and The Pyramids releases of legends are offered. Friends of Afro-Funk should keep an eye on the activities of Philophon Records.
