Mampi Swift

Real Name:
Philip Anim
Profile:
Starting off his career as a DJ in the early nineties, Swift Landed a Job at the now defunct Lucky Spin record shop. This was very helpful, as full access to the studio next door, with in house engineer Pete Parsons (aka Voyager) was part of the package. This became a valued learning ground for the inspired artist. After a few releases on various well known labels, his hunger grew and he set up his own label Charge Recordings.
Swift describes his style as "Plain rolling" and while simple, catchy beats are a key element to his overall sound, it's the unique distorted basslines people notice.
Swift works totally alone on his productions, developing a style that is all of his own. He has produced all current releases on Charge label, and three on his other imprint Blade Recordings. He is now looking to expand the Charge empire by signing fresh new talent. "It will give everyone a break from me, After 14 releases it will be a nice change!"
Following the success of his début album, Mainframe, Mampi could not be kept away from the studio and is currently shooting out releases, smashing up dance floors!
Plenty more where all this came from!

Review by gabba Feb 01, 2002
there comes a time when you decide that buying decks and mixing, controls a signifigcant part of your thought process. Mampi live produces the most terrorising bass lines, you feel the music deep in your heart. He is the reason why i went out and bought decks. Respect to the big man! for his darkside tendencies!!!!!!!!!
