In 2003 compatriot Welly beat-tards Tony Chang aka Toby Laing, horn-man for Fat Freddy’s Drop and Dub Connection and Mephisto Jones aka Otis Chamberlain, graff artist extraordinaire and former drummer for Police Lucifer and currently playing with up-and-coming beat combo The Illphonics, came together with a mutual goal to create some music that ran against the grain of the well-loved dub and funk flavours so synonymous with their home-town sound; their intentions instead focused towards a far more angular and experimental atmosphere with no desire other than to "get ears-deep in some freaky shit".

The Moodswingers is the culmination of over a year's worth of unsupervised time-lapse beat assembly reflecting back off of the duo's other intermittent and musically varied projects. A stop/start game of production ping-pong resulting in four tracks of digitally dyslexic lo/hi-fi outstrumentals spliced together with a dash of A.D.D funk.
