MITCH

London

Through an encounter with Ian Swift aka Swifty, while studying graphics at Manchester, Mitchy Bwoy (as he was nicknamed) became a fully fledged member of the Studio Babylon posse alongside brilliant nu-generation freestyle artists like Fred Deakin (Airside, Lemon Jelly), Robbie Bear (Wadada), as well as Mode 2. Early 1999 the posse went their separate ways and Mitch relocated to Hoxton where he was to share a studio with that dynamic duo, The Light Surgeons. While still connected to the original Babylon crew and Straight No Chaser magazine, he launched into numerous clothing projects (mainly in Japan), record cover design work for Warp, PIAS, Wall Of Sound and Bugz in The Attic, as well as the flyers that he has been bombing the London music scene with, since his arrival there in spring ‚97. This quick style assimilator has produced a torrent of work over the past few years including the visual identity of artists like Amp Fiddler and the broken beat massive around the Co-op clubnight in blurring the boundaries between the digital and the organic. Reckless and prolific, he has unrepentantly served the underground.
