New York-born DJ Rob Swift—best known for his time as a member of the hip-hop DJ collective X-Cutioners and his contributions to Mike Patton projects such as Peeping Tom—will be at the Dragon’s Den tonight, January 7. Swift has collaborated with many well-known artists, such as Herbie Hancock, Cypress Hill, and even the Blue Man Group. His style of blending genres such as classical and jazz into hip-hop have earned him an extensive following in the turntablist community, where he is regarded as one of the most cerebral of his kind.
