It is a love for the process towards self realization that keeps the creativity on edge. Phear's philosophies take this form and he carries them through each event he partners in, each gig he plays, and every mix he records. The culture of being a DJ has aided much in the growth and sharing of emotion and being. But, life does extend beyond and Phear also finds solace in his design work, keeping his own website as fresh and up-to-date as possible and doing a lot of personal flyer work.
Phear has come to realize his role in the culture extends beyond his involvement and what he physically does for the scene, however. The phrase used to describe himself sums it up - "drum n bass is the root from which my abstract grows." His mark has been made by a display of style on the decks, being recognized by his peers as having a unique touch for the art of mixing. Tending to lean towards the emotionally-laden, but loving to keep the crowd guessing, if you try to pigeonhole him into one sound, he'll gladly break that mold.
Hoping to break more not the world of production, he has already started on collborations and solo works. An obvious evolution of the DJ, it is the ultimate expression. Perhaps this is what has drawn him so much to the music- The chance to make it known what words themselves cannot come close to. A sharing of life through the creation of movement.
Phear would like to thank his many influences (DJs, producers and dancers alike), good natured people and all those who have had the decency to show each other respect.
