Fagin’s Reject is London born Phil Getty.
Phil comes from a psychedelic rock and metal background and was first exposed to Goatrance in 1992 at London based Goa parties, and quickly began to collect the limited vinyl it was released on. Soon after, he made his way to Goa and has been attending parties and festivals all over the world ever since.
After returning from India in 1994 he became a member of Lost Sector, an early Techno-Acid group made up of Bill Robin from Warp Technique/Bill & Ben, and Benny Ill from Horsepower Productions/Tempa, which had several releases on Fishtank Records.
Originally a bassist and funk DJ, Phil started producing Psytrance around 2003 out of a need to express musical ideas. It was only after attaining a music technology qualification in 2008 that making music became more serious to him, and so Fagin’s Reject was born.
Since 2013 he has played all over the world, and has become a regular at the biggest Psytrance festivals where he continues to push his original, funky, dark style, while representing the mighty Wildthings Records.
