Phillipdrummond is a long-time beat maker and Executive Director of Today’s Future Sound (TFS). In the past ten years he has performed live beats and arranged beat battles/beat cyphers in 25+ countries across six continents, including 9 national tours of Australia, and working for the US State Department as a Hip Hop ambassador as well as organizing the longest-running monthly beat battle in the Bay Area (and world) for over a decade. Growing up in NYC in the Golden Era of Hip Hop, he is informed by the East Coast 90’s sound with touches of G-Funk and West Coast flavor, as he now resides in Oakland, CA.“Philthy,” as many know him, fuses obscure samples lifted from dusty vinyl dug from across the globe with retrofuturistic synths and garbage-can snares and rhinoceros charlie horse kick drums, laced with hi-hats drenched in kisses of the Gods of Rome. He has a steady output of beats and artistic works, including live beat performances.
