Phil K is the better half of Lostep, at least when it comes to DJing.

The guy got some nice looping skills. Not to be missed.

I've known Phil K for years and for me, he is the most inspirational DJ I'm lucky enough to count as a good friend. Quite simply, he has more talent in his little finger than most so called 'superstar DJ's' could dream of in a lifetime. A future hero for the next generation, mark my words." - Dave Seaman

"Best Undiscovered DJ? Rising Aussie breakbeat DJ Phil K - not undiscovered but definitely going places." - Sasha

One of Australia's major national newspapers published a story on Phil K about seven years ago. He was quoted as saying, "I only want to make enough money to be able to keep doing what I love doing - and that's playing and making music." Cute comment, but was it just a media friendly 'I'm so dedicated clich�?' Speaking to Phil at the beginning of 2004, his 19th year of DJ'ing, you have to acknowledge the integrity of his quote. His sounds and DJ'ing performances have matured immeasurably, but the philosophy is exactly the same and there aren't many DJs who can make that claim after a quarter of a century.

The term 'pioneer' is brandied about too readily in dance music, but for Phil K, the term is just right in so many ways. Born, bred and based in Melbourne, Phil has been lending his services to the dancefloor since way back in 1985 when he started as a mobile DJ playing all the party classics. A combination of ugly drunk secretaries, a few flat Bar Mitzvahs and the acid house explosion lured the young DJ from functions to the murky depths of clubs. Thank God too because since that move, Phil K has turned the clubbing experience into something different altogether. Dance music boomed in the early 90s, so did Phil K. Names such as The Chevron, Inflation, The Metro and Chasers have all become clubbing legends and you can be sure that Phil K has played a major part in crafting that reputation.

Forging a name for himself through immaculate mixing, mind bending programming and just down right dirty tunes, the name Phil K has appeared alongside the likes of Sasha, Seaman, Oakenfold, Freq Nasty, and practically every other name of note. There's a very good reason why the list of support acts is so long. Some promoters might look and behave like twits but those who have booked Phil K know one thing - he's professional. The master of setting the room just right for a big name.

No ego involved.

No stealing the limelight.

Just rock solid performances every time.

"Focus is very proud to present Australia's hardest working dance export."
"From teaching young protege James Zabiela his technical wizardry to developing state of the art equipment like Pioneer's DVJ-X1, Phil K is at the bleeding edge of technology and at the forefront of where electronic music is heading."

"Please join us for a very special night as we welcome back one of our favourites, Mr. Phil K."
