| PC Synergy: Phil Green & Catharsis
Phil Green is the creative production force behind the duo PCSynergy. Along
with Dj Catharsis, he expresses all things house & downtempo. His amiable
demeanor is personified in his sets. Both Phil and Catharsis have been
actively deejaying and expressing positive electronic paradigms since 1991.
Phil is a graduate of Full Sail video and audio engineering college in
Orlando, Florida. Currently, Phil is the chief engineer at Jax Traxx, a
digital recording suite dedicated to electronic music production. Phil Green &
his main partner Scott Collins met at Full Sail Engineering School in
1996. In 1999, they decided to break ground on a studio. Scott's wife manages
a video editing and production house. Space upstairs became available which
fit perfectly. The original studio was built behind a record store and PA
equipment rental house. This new location opens up more
opportunity. Clients include all genres, transfers, beats, tracking, practice
space for bands, you name it. It's a beautiful space built with love.
DJ Catharsis, also known as Scott Petersen, has been spinning records for
the past eleven years. His musical inspirations are rooted in strong
spirituality and the creative influence of his father, a professional jazz
musician and educator. "I grew up with jazz, music students and concerts
around me all the time," said
Catharsis. "A high caliber of talent and passion for music is what led me to
the journey I am on now." Catharsis sees electronic music as eclectic and
inclusive where artists can take any influence or feeling and create with it.
He uses a sequencing program with, he says, the same improvisational spirit
his father uses playing guitar.
When searching for records, Catharsis concentrates on labels, artists, track
structure, and an overall feeling of the tune. A jazz influence and a deeper
direction attract him to music, his goal being to share music and educate a
crowd. I live one day at a time. I hope to live a happy life with music being
an integral part of it."
PCSynergy have performed all over the United States along side some of the
most innovative electronic artists including Mark Rae, East Coast Boogiemen,
Lawn Chair Generals, Rick Preston, Q Burns Abstract Message,
Nigel Richards, Hesohi, Corey Black, Noel Sanger, Stryke, Monty Luke, and
Sunshine Jones.
They have been signed to numerous electronic music labels worldwide, appeared
on cd compilations alongside Depeche Mode, Moby, Faithless,Dubtribe

record label owners. The motive for this endeavor is to release an eclectic
catalog of House and Down tempo music. Soul Support will express the
developing, inquisitive, PCSynergy sound along with an array of new artists
and remixes. Soul Support Recordings has released one
record to date.
