having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

glasgows taz buckfaster - or just taz - was one of rwinas earliest discoveries.his two eps on rwina have leaned towards the dubstep side of things,imbuing them with the playful hip-hop inspired mischief that remains the rwina trademark, playing with dub skank on kingston bridge and sending off firecrackers of concentrated synth melody in nearly uncontrollable bursts on 20 red. he now makes a welcome return to the label at the end of 2011 with the neurotica ep with four brand new tracks of uncompromising glaswegian heat.

london grime producer swindle follows up his incredible planet mu ep with another slab of funked-up grime, this time for a rapidly expanding rwina records. swindles return marks a slightly stripped-down sound: the funk is meaner, heavier, and nastier. >playground< grooves on rainbow synths and leisurely, drawn-out melodies, as a boogie bassline carves memorable phrases in the ground below. all of this is shoved in an approachable halfstep template that means the track could just as easily slot into any dubstep set as the grime scene in which swindle dominates. did we mention theres a killer freestyling organ solo in the breakdown?

rachet, a new kid on the block, debuts with the banging hyper dimention ep for rwina records on october 25. rachet isnt that new on the fold. hes worked with mcs like devlin, jammer, frisco and beezy, to name a few!

yes people, like dillinja once said, its time to get grimey! at the end of september, the man, the myth, the legend, mr terror danjah blesses rwina with the reinforced ep. a storming 3 tracker of top class grime for the connoisseurs, the ep is fully equipped with lazershifting bass-terrorism and high-end sonic manipulation.the lead track,reinforced,switches from sweet but dark r&b vibes to classic acid-esque rave touches, guaranteeing a proper reaction on the floor. peanut punch, a collaboration with regular sparring-partner d.o.k., sprinkles neon highlights over a minimal, bass-led beat, while the ep finishes up with stomp test - 4 to the floor club music designed to kill any dance. rwina & terror danjah - a perfect fit.

fresh from birmingham comes young talent src delivering the >goin out ep< for the rwina imprint. stuffing old school 8-bit sensibilities and new school grime attitude into a blender and hitting puree, src slings sizzling synths and punchy basslines with devastating effect. from the casual g-funk of >goin out< and >sort of a start< to the skank-u-like shuffle of >facepalm< and the danjah-esque >wheres the remote?<, this ep contains grime riddims that will fill every dancefloor with hypercolors, power-ups and neon-lights, like pacman duelling with mario in the dark. with all this in mind, src makes the case that he is one to watch for the future, and with a workrate to match the hype, you can expect a lot more where this came from!
dj support comes from the distinguished likes of starkey, swindle, elijah & skilliam, taz buckfaster, baobinga, terror danjah and many more...

following on from massive releases like half man half trout (taz buckfaster) and freeze step (south africas playdoe), rwina welcomes phillys illest, starkey, back to the fold.

straight outta the grimey pits of glasgow comes taz buckfaster... don rwina akkachar has picked up this young moroccan producer after hearing a few of his astonishing productions. by having the same background it was clear that these guys needed to work together, and this 12inch is what hard work and sweat can deliver.

nice price deal !!! includes starkey remix!!

the second album by portlands eprom after last years *metahuman*, once again released by rwina records. bass music from the dark & heavy side.

san francisco producer eprom follows up his massive technoid monster >humanoid< on rwina with three tracks of bright pastel colours caked in dirt and grime. bringing it right into the sewers, these tracks combine vintage grime and modern dubstep sounds for a volatile, liquid solution that writhes and squirms uncontrollably, splashing and sloshing in toxic puddles of lfo.

well known 90s classic with fresh 2010 dubstep rework
