D. J. P Phillips Biography

DJ P (D.J.P) is Danny J. Phillips, a Hip Hop DJ hailing from Springfield, Missouri.

He won the Disco Mix Club (DMC) Midwest Championship and competed against the country`s top turntablists in San Francisco at the 1999 Disco Mix Club US Finals. He dropped Bruce Hornsby`s "That`s Just The Way It Is," aiming the song`s "they can`t get a job" lyric at his competitors. Then he dropped Tom Petty`s "Don`t Come Around Here No More" as a warning to the other DJs to step off. Ever the b-boy, P topped his performance off by coming out in front of the tables and breaking and popping. He was the only DJ who received a standing ovation that night at The Palace of Fine Arts.

D.J.P plays all sorts of different music: 80s New Wave music, classic and alternative Rock, even Drum `n` Bass, as well as the usual can`t lose Hip Hop favorites, old and new. He can mix Pat Benatar`s "Love Is a Battlefield" over the Pharcyde`s classic "She Keeps On Passing Me By" and turn it into a mix about love lost that blends both rock and hip-hop. He can play Jane`s Addiction`s "Jane Says" over a dusted Mobb Deep beat, or Eminem`s "Without Me" over "Billie Jean".. His underground Hip Hop mixes of Journey`s "Don`t Stop Believin`" and U2`s "With or Without You" have become word-of-mouth classics with underground DJs.

DJ P has also released several albums as well. "Uneasy Listening Vol. 1," his 2001 collaboration with DJ Z-Trip, blended everything from Phil Collins and Del tha Funkee Homosapien and The Who to Madonna`s "Like a Prayer" and the famed "Apache" breakbeat. Although it was only released in a limited 1000-copy pressing in 2000, it showed up everywhere: in constant rotation on Kid Rock`s tour bus stereo, in England where it was bootlegged onto vinyl, and on critics` Top Ten lists (New York`s Village Voice, etc). Rolling Stone even named "Uneasy Listening" as one of the "Top Musical Moments" in 2002-two years after he and DJ Z-Trip released it.

P`s has released several subsequent discs including "Out of Control," "Assholez and Elbowz," What`s For Dessert" and his Halloween-themed "Hell on Wheels" series. "Hell On Wheels Vol. 2" took Biggie Smalls, Mystikal and the Beatles and monster-mashed them into a favorite disc of 2003 in critics` polls from New York to Portland, Oregon, where the disc has been praised - completely unsolicitedly, mind you - in the local media.

D.J.P has played everywhere-from basement parties at colleges to huge outdoor venues. He has been touring the country for over half a decade, beginning with MTV`s 1999 Campus Invasion Tour with alt rockers Garbage (band) and Lit, and most recently last summer with 311 (band).

DJ P has held club residencies at New York City, Springfield, MO and Portland, OR and most recently he accepted a one year residency in Las Vegas at the legendary MGM Grand. His resume also includes gigs with Ice-T, Tone Loc, Sugar Hill Gang, Rahzel from the Roots, Cher and Cindy Lauper, The Pharcyde and Del tha Funkee Homosapien`s Hieroglyphics.
