Radio Activeman

Keith Tenniswood began playing guitar at age nine but, as a teenager, grew increasingly interested in electronic music, graffiti, mixtapes, break dancing and skating rinks, before moving to London and buying equipment to produce his own music. Around this same time, he befriended Jagz Kooner, member of electronica trio Sabres of Paradise, and became their sound engineer. Shortly afterward he began collaborating with another Sabres of Paradise member, Andrew Weatherall, as Two Lone Swordsmen. After releasing three albums on Weatherall's label Emissions Audio Output, Warp Records signed the duo and released a series of albums including Stay Down (1998), A Bag of Blue Sparks (1998), A Virus With Shoes (1999), Tiny Reminders (2000), Further Reminders (2001), and From the Double Gone Chapel (2004). Still working in parallel as a producer, he began using his free time in the studio to create some new sounds and, at that point, felt like having something on his own. He embarked on a solo career as Radioactive Man, releasing his self-titled full-length album debut in 2001 on Weatherall's label Rotters Golf Club. Carrying on with the Radioactive Man alias, in 2003 Tenniswood released both another studio album, Booby Trap, and a DJ mix album, Fabric 08. Arguably his most anticipated album to date, “Growl” (2008) is a stunning collection of timeless tracks that break, shake and quake with funk and character. Radioactive Man has once again turned in a direction most unexpected, with the wealth of experience and wisdom grooving his path.
