the begining

Where it all started

Overview

Phil has been immersed in the music industry since the 1980s, starting his career in the UK's Southend-on-Sea A/V field. He supplied P.A. systems and fit-outs to clubs, bars, and bands, which eventually paved the way for his transition into DJing.

At the beginning of 2025, after many years of collaborating with event promoters, Phil was offered the opportunity to take over from one of the shareholders of Sun of a Beach, the company’s founder from 15 years ago.

Professional Experience

DJ Bio

After a few years of solo Dj'in, in the mid 80's Phil became one half of “4th Dimension,” performing at numerous parties and events and earning a reputation for energizing dance floors.

Phil’s early influences stemmed from the Acid House and Chicago House scenes. His passion for music and DJing helped him forge lasting friendships with fellow DJs, artists, and promoters who shared his love for the craft.
After stepping away from the industry to raise a family, Phil has made a triumphant return to DJing. Embracing modern technology, he’s swapped his vinyl crates for digital tools, maintaining his extensive musical knowledge without the physical burden.

A pivotal opportunity to perform in Ibiza reignited Phil’s drive and passion, establishing him as a regular at events in the UK and Ibiza. One of his most memorable milestones came with a debut White Mountain Session in Val d’Isère—a dream come true and a resounding success.
Phil’s musical taste is both diverse and dynamic. He thrives on filling dance floors with Funky House, Disco, and Classic House, drawing inspiration from soul, funk, and hip-hop. In addition, he hosts a regular set that delves into his rich musical roots, featuring Acid Jazz, Rare Groove, and soul classics.
