Mampi Swift aka Philip Anim started off his career as a DJ in the early nineties, DJing his first ever set on New Years Eve 1992 at Innersense at the Lazerdrome. He got the gig as his friend's father was the head of security at the venue. 1992 saw him also play on Kool FM for the first time, guesting on The Weedkillers show. He would later on take over his childhood friend, DJ Buz's show.
Swift Landed a Job at the now defunct Lucky Spin record shop. This was very helpful, as full access to the studio next door, with in house engineer Pete Parsons (aka Voyager) was part of the package. This became a valued learning ground for the inspired artist. After a few releases on various well known labels, his hunger grew and he set up his own labels Charge & Blade.
Also had a show on Kool FM, and it was after one of his shows that he acquired the "Mampi" part of his name after MC Navigator, Crazy Legs & MC Foxy started calling him it.

Kool first broadcast on 28 November 1991 on the frequency of 94.5FM, from Hackney, East London. Kool has stated that it was "the very first pirate station ever to play hardcore jungle". Simon Reynolds would call it "London's ruling pirate station" in an account of the beginnings of jungle in his book Energy Flash, whilst in State of Bass, Martin James would consider it "The single most important pirate station in jungle".
By late 1992, Kool started to promote its own events, leading to the founding of Jungle Fever in August 1993. Jungle Fever nights have been held at venues such as the Astoria and The Edge.
In July 1993, its then-neighbouring station also broadcasting from the Nightingale Estate, Rush FM, was subject to a high profile raid by the authorities leading to media accusations of drug dealing at raves promoted by the two stations.
In April 1996, Kool was featured in a BBC First Sight documentary about pirate radio in London, in which its Kool Skool club night also appeared.
In the same year, it branched out by launching a sister station, Kool FM Midlands based in Birmingham, which continued until 2002.
In May 2007, Kool FM featured in a BBC London News report about pirate radio station interference to the emergency services and their use of the airwaves.
