Biography
Essex, United Kingdom (1995 – present)
Born in 1975 Essex, England, the son of a jazz drummer, Jenkinson grew up listening to greats such as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, and Art Blakey, plus dub pioneers King Tubby and Augustus Pablo. He played bass and drums in high school but was frustrated by the limitations of playing with other musicians. Introduced to electronic music through experimental electro-techno artists such as LFO and Carl Craig as well as the local rave scene, Jenkinson soon began assembling these disparate influences into an amalgam of post-bop, avant-garde and progressive jazz with breakbeat techno, making heavy use of the Amen break.
His initial releases were the Conumber EP (1995) and (as Duke Of Haringey) the Alroy Road Tracks EP (1996) on Spymania. They were initially disregarded as misplaced perversions of jungle’s more obvious compositional principles, but found a ready audience in fans of post-acid house experimental listening music. Tracks from these EPs were later compiled onto the album Burningn’n Tree.

Nice to hear what is possibly his most joyful and hilarious track, 'The Coathanger', on Stuart Maconie's weekly 'Freak Zone' show on BBC 6 Music the other day. Great source of fascinating, weird, experimental and sometimes pretty wacky music, so check it out!

>"anyone that thinks he sounds like aphex twin or daft punk has retarded ears". Anyone who hears no similarities between SP and Daft Punk or Aphex Twin has retarded ears.
