01 / DJ

I play on
my terms.

I started DJing at 17 and held club residencies for over a decade. After stepping away to tour with Nathan Dawe, I’m back playing selectively — choosing the events I want to play.

05 / ABOUT

About
Phil.

I started DJing at 17 and held club residencies for 10–12 years. I stepped away to tour with Nathan Dawe as tour and production manager, and now I’m back DJing on my own terms, playing only the events I want to play. I also run Spook Creative, where I design, build and deliver websites.
