Philip Steir is a musician, remixer, composer and music producer.

Life and career

As a drummer, he played in the critically acclaimed band Consolidated he co-founded, which was signed to Nettwerk Records and later London Records. Consolidated released five albums between 1990-1996. Philip co-wrote all of the bands material, as well as doing much of the producing of the bands studio work.

After the success of Philips first remix for Consolidated, “This Is Fascism”, which went to #1 on the U.S. dance charts, he started receiving phone calls from record labels to remix other artists on their roster. In 1996 he opened his own studio in San Francisco (Toast), where he remixed tracks for numerous top artists including No Doubt, New Order, Korn, Moby, Rob Zombie, Foreigner, Smashmouth, Bush, Live, Cake and others.

Philips remix of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride", for the movie "Go", set the ball in motion for many classic tracks to be remixed for movies, clubs and TV commercials. HisMagic Carpet Rideremix was licensed by Dodge and then Skechers for both of the companies major TV ad campaigns. It was also eventually used in other films and TV shows as well.

Philips reputation as a remixer eventually led to production work. He produced the Grammy nominated album Arepa 3000 (best alternative Latin album) in 2001, for the Venezuelan band, Los Amigos Invisibles. The album was also nominated for a Latin Grammy Award (best rock album).

Philip also produced the majority of tracks on the Maverick debut album Falling Uphill for Lillix. Falling Uphill was an international success spawning hits in the United States, Canada and Asia. The album has now been certified gold in Japan. The success of the songWhat I Like About You,” which Philip produced for the TV show of the same name, was also the hit song in the movie and soundtrack forFreaky Friday.” When the band No Doubt started work on their Rock Steady record, they began first in San Francisco recording with Philip at his studio where the songHey Babywas born, and eventually went on to win the Grammy Award for best pop single in 2003.

Philip was also the music producer and music supervisor for The WB TV Network's image campaigns, producing the theme music for 5 seasons of the networks image campaign. The campaigns in which Philip did the music for won both he and the network 4 Promax awards for best Network promo.Philip is now living in Los Angeles, where his reputation for remixing classic tracks for film and TV led him to develop a project for Warner Brothers Records to remix past hit songs from the Warner Bros tape vaults / back catalog. The album, “What Is Hip?”, released on Warner Bros Records and whose title track was nominated for a Grammy in 2006 features classic songs by America, Doobie Brothers, Rod Stewart, George Benson, Ambrosia and Tower of Power redone. The album includes remixes by other top producers and DJs. It was conceived and executive-produced by Philip, as was his remix of the Devo classicWhip Itand Todd RundgrensHello Its Me,” from the project which have been receiving license syncs from film, TV and ad campaigns. Philips remix of Seals & Croftsclassic hit songSummer Breezewas prominently featured in a summer ad campaign for Gap and was a come back hit on AC radio.

After remixing the same theme song he originally produced for the WBTV seriesWhat I Like About You,” Philip was asked by the shows producers if he would join the show as composer, music producer and music supervisor, and has just completed his third season on the hit series.

In February 2006, Philip was hired as a consultant by the ad agency Chiat Day in Los Angeles as a music supervisor and researcher on their Apple computer account. Then in June 2006 Chiat Day asked Philip to be the music supervisor and researcher for the upcoming fall ipod TV spot.
