Biography

[edit]

Swinscoe began learning to play the guitar at the age of six; however, he received no formal musical education.[2] He studied visual arts at the Cardiff School of Art & Design. In 1990, he formed the band Crabladder in Cardiff. In 1994, he became a DJ at Heart FM, a pirate radio station in south London. He then began working at the Ninja Tune label, where he developed an interest in genres such as electronic music, abstract hip-hop, nu jazz, drum and bass, ambient and chillout.[3] In 1999, he founded the group The Cinematic Orchestra, which brought him the greatest recognition.[4] He also performed with the band Neptune.[5]
