MAMPI SWIFT [ Charge Recordings ] - UK
The prolific "Mampi Swift" aka Phil Anim, formally known as Swift. The addition of "Mampi" to his name not being coincidental; the term meaning "big, strong and quick" depicts everything about him from his pure physique to his amazing "double-dropping" DJing skills. We are going to see a lot happening with Mampi Swift and Charge Recordings this year. He has spent the last 12 months working on his new album - to be released end of April - and if this album doesn't set a precedent - nothing will!!! Working heavily with Blame and 720 Recordings - this duo will certainly be suprising a lot of people over the next few months. With the current EP "Rainman" flying off the shelves and all his classic tunes regularly being played out around the world there is no stopping this guy. Being careful to not over expose his new tunes - they are rarely released prior to promo's - this guy is a very clever business man. He relentlessly still plays with dubplates/vinyl and refuses to use CD's when playing gigs - he is wisely attempting to keep the record industry alive for future generations.

DISCOGRAPHY
IC3 [ Movement | The End ] - UK
One of the scene’s biggest characters: This hugely popular and versatile MC is equally respected and admired for his countless residencies around the globe at both liquid nights, breaks night and rave nights alike. Best seen alongside his good friend and partner in crime Mampi Swift, the ‘awesome twosome’ guarantee a high energy extravaganza.
IC3’s musical influences stretch right across the genres… from old-skool Hip-Hop (Big Daddy Kane, N.W.A) to 80’s pop (Duran Duran). Rapping from the age of eight, he quickly became known on the block as ‘the little kid that can rap’. His journey to the top of his field began in and around 1994: based in West London he built his reputation through his use of the airwaves: most notably the infamous pirate Transition 1 (Ladbroke Grove) on which he built a huge fan base. Soon enough the phone was ringing with bookings and IC3 was performing at the infamous likes of Roast, Jungle Fever, Desert Storm and A.W.O.L.
Since then and for more than a decade IC3 has been working regularly alongside a whole variety of top DJs across London, Europe and the world. Securing residencies at a whole host of respected club-nights and raves including the likes of: Movement @ Bar Rumba, Ram Records @ The End, Slammin’ Vinyl and One Nation to name a few.
It quickly becomes clear when watching IC3 and hearing him perform that there is something truly special about his performance: reason being that IC3 is a qualified actor having studied Theatre at both Drama College and university. In his formative years he was in a number of plays and theatre productions and although since the millennium due to the lack of hours in a day he was reluctantly forced to put that passion on hold. In 2005 his passion for acting could no longer be ignored and was indeed resurrect, resulting in IC3 starring in a number of movies and even putting the finishing touches to his very own ‘IC3 Show’ which is destined for global distribution on DVD before the end of the year.
Always a compliment to the music… IC3 is a true showman.
