DJ AudioPhil (Phil Plencner) is a vinyl-and-digital hybrid DJ spinning deep cuts, live medleys, and radio-style sets rooted in progressive rock, jazz fusion, alternative rock, punk and metal.
No flashy turntablist tricks — just musical, intentional mixes with informative commentary that actually explore the music. Every show is built around unique songs that span many genres with transitions that respect the artist.
Expect vinyl warmth, underground and under appreciated artists, and a host with insightful perspectives.
Catch the sets online via stream or in-person — DJ AudioPhil holds a regular residency at Brewers Cask in Baltimore, MD.

One lesser-known track. One story. The music you didn't know you needed.
Each show: an ambitious live medley assembled from long songs — and a breakdown of how it came together.
At least one full segment per show played strictly from records. Real warmth. Real crackle.
An original track and its cover(s) back-to-back. You decide which wins.
Following musicians across bands, side projects, and genres — the connections that shaped the music.
