Binging on heavy doses of 808 kicks and robotic licks, Phil soon invested in two turntables, speakers and a mixer to help feed his insatiable craving for electro and Miami Bass. Before long the Bass Junkie had tested almost every vinyl product on the street. This consumption did not satisfy his habit, so in 1987 Phil began to manufacture his own supply. In his suburban laboratory the Bass Junkie spent many hours testing his own medicine, cutting finely-tuned frequencies, chopping them with pure bass and then mixing in raw, uncut beats, leaving loudspeakers smoking and equalizers peaking.

With addicts worldwide attempting to score his dope beats, Phil began Battle Trax to distribute his brutal brand of bass-fuelled beats. Kids were soon overdosing on large doses of Cybernet Systems, Final Dreams, Industrial Bass Machines and Kronos Devices - all variants of the highly addictive Bass Junkie, traces of which have also been found in other lethal labels including Audio Illusion, Control Tower, Breakin`, Joey Boy, SMB, Touchin` Bass, Remote Audio, Firewire, RGC, Fuel, Satamile, Cyberian Knights Recordings, Electrix, Parallax, Panic Trax, Tellektro, Tranzform and Dynamix II Records.
