 Hitting the scene in 2001 after entering a mix-tape in the Channel [V] DJ Competition and winning the state finals at Metropolis Nightclub, Philly became known around town as a hard hitter and a smooth mixer. Coming runner up in the national comp further cemented his DJing career.
After a few years playing everything from hip hop to funk to breaks at various places around town, Philly started running his own nights. Hydrophonik was a successful, though short-lived start where the sounds of tech and electro in house and breaks were smashed out to a receptive crowd. Bringing out interstate acts such as Dopamine ensured these parties will not be forgotten.
In 2006, Phil enlisted the help of fellow Boomtick resident, Ben Mac, to start the now infamous Bootleg nights. By playing nothing but bootlegs, mash-ups and white labels, punters can be guaranteed a massively funky and fun night out.
Not one to rest on his laurels, late last year, with the help of Mono Lisa and girlfriend Megs, Philly started his second night at Ambar, pushing the more banging sounds of breaks and house, Force Majeure started with a bang and is set to continue its success in 2009.
With his first production releases coming out this year on Destination? records and also Breakin Even records under the name Philly Blunt, we're expecting big things for Phil in both the DJ booth and the studio in 2009.
