Danny Phillips

With over 20 years of DJing behind him and firmly under his belt, Danny Phillips has started to hit the radar as a serious and passionate artist, especially in house music. In 2012 Danny’s Djing career reached an all-time high after gaining a residency at Aftershock in Manchester, one of just a few weekly house nights in the city that has become a place to play on the hit list of DJs right across Manchester. Originally guesting at the club and after dishing out sets that exceeded expectations, Danny was asked to join the team of resident DJs and has become instrumental in finishing the night at Aftershock with his trademark edgy closing sets. Bagging himself a new high-profile residency hasn't been the only high of the year. In July, Danny hit the capital to guest at London super club FIRE, a club that has also played a significant part in inspiring him to DJ and chance a career in the dance music industry. 2012 has also been the year that Danny decided to introduce himself to the industry as a credible producer. After teasing his audience with the promise of a killer first EP, he delivered the goods in the shape of his “Tasered in Tesco” EP. A double-track release that was snapped up by major record label Toolbox Music and has reached a worldwide fan base that was until now not within his reach. His tracks “Beautiful Mountain” and “The Naked Dash” have peaked as top sellers for the label on several major download sites. Danny is already working on a new EP to be included on the label's 9th Birthday album to be released in October 2012: A compilation of their biggest releases and one that Danny has been asked to mix. Credit to an artist that seems to be in full flight right now! Three out of Danny's four released tracks have made it into the trackitdown.net top 10, with tasered in Tesco reaching number 1 in the overall hard dance chart.
