Phil began his career as a member of Andrew Weatherall's electronic visionaries The Sabres of Paradise. He was later recruited by Belfast's David Holmes to collaborate on various remixes and to help on Stephen Soderbergh's 1998 classic "Out Of Sight."

At the turn of the millenium, Phil found himself in New York working on two highly influential records, David Holmes,' "Bow Down To The Exit Sign," and Primal Scream's, "XTRMNTR". in 2001, James Murphy invited him to join the newly minted outfit, LCD Soundsystem. After six years with LCD, Phil made the tough decision to quit touring - save for the occasional cameo like in the Documentary "Shut Up and Play the Hits".

A prolific film composer, Phil has scored thirteen full-length features, including a slew of Sundance hits such as Mike Cahill's "Another Earth", "I Origins", Jim Mickel's "We Are What We Are", Jon Watts' "Cop Car," starring Kevin Bacon, Michael Thelin's "Emelie," and most recently the Netflix Original, “Mercy."
