DJ P

If Danny Phillips didn’t make a living behind a pair of Technics 1200s, he’d probably be at the fore of Switzerland’s watch industry. His sense of timing is impeccable. Since his beginnings with Uneasy Listening, Phillips (DJ P for short) has spawned a new genre of DJ, one whose mastery of tempo can only be upstaged by an unnatural selection of hip-hop and radio pop. (He’s not a shabby break dancer, either.) Many have tried to replicate his sound, but few can pull it off on turntables. For the past year, the Missouri native has populated Studio 54’s dance floor at the Las Vegas MGM Grand. It’s been awhile since he’s been back, which means plenty of new reasons to nod your head.
