London producer Swindle draws on assorted jazz, hip-hop, funk and dubstep influences in his great new album 'Long Live The Jazz'.

“I know what you mean, like on ‘Forest Funk’. I played that guitar! I just do what feels right.

“There is no other music in the world where an MC stands on the stage for an hour and continuously sprays lyrics with such clarity and power over so many frequencies,” Eksman, one of the d&b scene's foremost MCs, tells DJ Mag. “The life and evolution of the drum & bass MC has grown from strength to strength over the years, and I have no doubt that down the line many more great things are in store for the future generation of MCs in our music.”
