As experts in bass, grime, hip hop, dancehall and garage go, they don’t come much more knowledgeable than Manchester producer and DJ Chimpo.
Both his sets and original productions draw on a deep love for speaker blowing sounds, a passion which has marked him out from the early days as a talent to try and keep a handle on.
He made a name for himself in his home city as part of the Broke'n'English and the Estate Recordings crews before unleashing a series of killer productions. Blowfish and Drama were both staples in sets from the likes of Skream! and Benga and saw him release more killers via Soul:r, Modulations and Tru Thoughts
Now truly well respected amongst his peers, having teamed up with the likes of Zed Bias and Big Dada on past projects, toured China and had guest mix slots on BBC Radio 1, he’s unleashing a new mixtape via Toddla T’s Girls Music imprint.
The Monkey Teef mix features some high class quality UK talent including Footsie, Big Narstie, Dub Phizix, Strategy and more and cements Chimpo’s reputation for blending the subversive with the banging… meet him in our 30 seconds below...
I first started writing music because…
I dunno I don't understand why anybody wouldn't.
I have been making music since…
I was about 12, round 1996, I had the curtains hair do.
My music is…
Like a party and a kiss and a cuddle.
You'll like my music if you listen to...
Music.
My favourite venue is…
Maybe Band On The Wall, Manchester.
Music is important because…
Most things would be shit without it.
My biggest inspiration is…
RZA.
My dream collaboration would be…
Devin the Dude, George Clinton, Dr Dre and me.
To try me out, listen to my song…
Listen to my whole mixtape Monkey Teef out now on Girls Music.
If I wasn’t making music I’d be…
Gutted.
In 10 years time I want to be...
A ninja turtle.
Limited edition Kid Acne Monkey Teef screen prints with custom Girls Music USB containing full mixtape are now available via Ninja. You can listen to the Monkey Teef mix via Girls Music.
