As a producer, Moonface has an impressive discography including releases on numerous compilation CDs such as the ‘Balance Series 006’ on EQ Recordings and the legendary Global Underground and Nubreed series, including ‘GU is 10’ a must-have compilation celebrating 10 years of the Global Underground sound. Bedrock released ‘Layered Sounds’ mixed by John Digweed and Phil Thompson and the now classic sounds of ‘Between Worlds’, a six track album of Moonface tracks, was also released on the same label and in 2001 was voted album of the month by several industry magazines.

After a number of years promoting and playing at their own club nights ‘Cartel’ alongside industry heavy weights such as Terry Francis, Omid 16b and Adultnapper, Phil and Tim then created the new project ‘Animalz’. As well as working in the studio together; they have a string of remixes. They perform together; back to back with a laptop each, a 2 deck Dj midi controller each, with use of loops and fx to keep things moving, two very distinctive styles coming together to make one relentless vibe.
