He co-founded and played drums in the critically-acclaimed band, Consolidated, which was signed to Nettwerk Records and later London Records. Consolidated released five albums between 1990-1996.

His remix of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride," for the movie, "Go," was extremely successful, and was licensed for by Dodge and Skechers for major TV ad campaigns, as well as other films and television shows.

Philip's reputation as a remixer led to production work. He produced the Grammy nominated album "Arepa 3000" for the Venezuelan band, Los Amigos Invisibles. He produced the majority of tracks on the debut album "Falling Uphill" for Lillix, which became an international success. He also produced the hit song "What I Like About You" for the TV show of the same name, eventually joining the show as composer, music producer and music supervisor for its final three seasons.

In addition to his remix and production work, Philip was the music producer and music supervisor for The WB TV Network's image campaigns, producing the theme music for five seasons of the network's image campaign. For his work, Philip and The WB won four Promax awards for best Network promo.

Philip conceived and executive produced a project for Warner Brothers Records to remix past hit songs from the Warner Bros catalog. The album, "What Is Hip?", whose title track was nominated for a Grammy, features remixes of classic songs by America, Doobie Brothers, Rod Stewart, George Benson, Ambrosia, Tower of Power, Devo and Todd Rundgren. The album includes remixes by Philip as well as by other top producers and DJs. Philip's remix of Seals & Crofts' classic hit song "Summer Breeze" was prominently featured in a summer ad campaign for The Gap and was a come-back hit on AC radio.

In 2006, the Los Angeles ad agency Chiat Day recruited Philip as a music supervisor and researcher. Overseeing their Apple computer account, Philip designed TV spots for Apple's iPod. He went on to produce the branding image campaign for Lifetime Network's 2009 television season. As their music supervisor, producer, remixer and composer, Philip completed more than 100 television spots that made up the network's on-air promos, as well as their advertising on other networks.

Most recently, Philip signed a deal with Spirit Music Group to remix the classic back catalogue of Pete Townshend and The Who for licensing in film, television, advertising and new media. Through his selection of songs and style of remixes, Philip helped to further build The Who brand.
