DJ D*Phy (formerly known as DefDphy) is a Sydney based DJ, producer and turntablist focusing predominantly on underground hiphop from all over the world, and more recently collecting beats within the acid jazz, downtempo electronica and soul genres. D*Phy has been behind the turntables for over four years constantly elevating his mixing and scratching skills to a higher level whilst working on various mixtapes and live shows with other artists.
2004 marked the release of Mixed Goods Volume One; an 80-minute mixtape featuring local and overseas underground hip-hop mixed and cut up by D*Phy. The follow up tape, Mixed Goods Volume Two was released in 2005 whilst Mixed Goods Volume Three was released in mid 2008 to complete the trilogy. All three mixtapes have been available online and have been well received by DJ’s and MC’s all over the world, spawning new collaborations and music based connections regarding upcoming projects.
Throughout the years D*Phy has been a tour DJ for a range of MC's and crews hailing from Sydney, such as Spit Syndicate (Obese), Nick Knowledge and Double & BigLu (Nurcha); providing cuts on tracks and at live performances. In mid 2005 D*Phy became a member of PureBred, one of Sydneys well respected underground hip-hop promotion teams and artist rosters. Since then D*Phy has networked with a range of promoters, spinning tunes at various hip-hop nights, album launches and MC/DJ battles around Sydney for Joint Adventure (Scribble Jam 06, DMC 06), Obese Records, Nurcha Records, and LookUp.
This has led to supporting local crews such as: Lyrical Commission, Milkbar Stars/Pegz, Bliss n Eso, Hyjak & Torcha, Phrase, Muph & Plutonic, Bias-B, Funkoars, and for international acts: People Under The Stairs (US), Planet Asia (US), Ice Cube (US), Eternia (CAN), Mystro (UK) Killa Kela (UK) and many more.
In 2008 D*Phy joined a Sydney based production and DJ team known as the Ill Affiliates consisting of Producer/DJ ilz and T-Sharp. Currently D*Phy is planning collaborative projects with a range of overseas producers and MC’s as well as Ill Affiliates side projects. Be on the lookout for the Ruff Craft Mixtape dropping early 09' with Sydney MC Big Lu the Igloo. Stay tuned...
