Biography

Swimful is a Northumbrian producer whose work encompasses the outer limits of grime and club music. Cutting his teeth in Shanghai's now-legendary venue The Shelter, Swimful's sound was shaped in the city's club scene as part of the emergent SVBKVLT crew. Spurred on by support from the UK's Boxed crew, his first release on SVBKVLT, 2016's PM2.5, was played extensively on stations like Rinse FM and Radio 1. Production for vocalists continued in the intervening period, honing the blissful cloud rap edges that began when Swimful was producing tracks for Lil B and Main Attrakionz while still in school. 2019's "Folding Knives" was a meeting between this early approach and newfound club sensibilities, with lead single "Agony" refracting dancehall and afroswing through the lens of noise-washed shoegaze. In 2022, Swimful returned to SVBKVLT with the "Rushlight" EP - a club-collision of drill and amapiano - and started a residency on Rinse FM, where he showcases his own productions alongside cutting-edge sounds from Shanghai and beyond.
