After several years DJing the inner city club scene Phaze_5 was performing & recording with several groups including hip-hop outfit
La Di Da, supergroup
Antenna (with Aussie rock legends
Dave Faulkner and
Kim Salmon), electronic outfit Escobar and eclectic ensemble the Coda Strings. Early on Phaze_5 worked alongside Sydney techno pioneers Stuart McCarthy and Justin Frew on remixes for The Whitlams, Kim Salmon, South End and Saints of India. Escobar’s remix of Kim Salmon’s “
I’ll Be Around” (co-written by Dave Graney and Mudhoney’s Mark Arm) received high rotation on national broadcaster JJJ.
In early 2015 Phaze_5 took out first place in the first three rounds of the Flipmash remix project run by Public Enemy frontman Chuck D & The Bomb Squad producer Gary G-Wiz and secured a release for the remix of Chuck D’s “
PIC – I Hate Every Inch of You”. Recently Phaze_5 has produced tracks for New Zealand rapper & visual artist RFS1, Texan rapper TdashDUB along with remixes for Dubwerth and Philly independent artist Payday Monsanto.
