Born to an outlaw biker father and 16 year old mother, R.W. Roldan came of age in the Los Angeles of the 60’s and 70’s. His family spent a few years homeless, prompting him to join the navy at 17. His young life was full of hard circumstances and difficult environments but Roldan always seemed to soften things with his easy knack for storytelling.

Upon returning to California from his time abroad, R.W. worked all around the San Fernando Valley, immersing himself in the blues and Americana scene. He gravitated towards music and poetry, appreciating contemporary wordsmiths like Dylan and Dr. Seuss as much as American treasures such as Yates and began crafting his own indelible blend of country blues folk rock - a sound that lands somewhere between Hank Williams and Cowboy Junkies.

 R.W. now splits his time between his house in the Topanga hills and a newly-purchased dwelling that once belonged to Fatty Arbuckle in Silverlake, where he’s building a studio in the basement. It was professed to be haunted for the past 12 years, but R.W. found it a suitably creative environment to craft the songs on his official solo outing, Can You Feel This, due out August 17th.

The new LP puts Roldan's adept storytelling front and center, backed by his easy going guitar, mandolin and dobro chops. Tracks like “Big Skies” and “Falling Star” paint an authentically haunting, nostalgic panorama of Los Angeles, while laid back ballads such as “Lauryn’s Song” reveal a sweeter side to the man. It’s all melted in the sweet butter sauce of producer Max Allyn who recently signed R.W. to his AllsWell Records imprint out of Nashville.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. - Rumi,

a dynamic rapper born in Franklin Louisiana, raised in Va Beach Virginia. While spending 12 years in the system for a bad choice, King made the best of his time by harnessing his music, educating him self and cutting hair making his transition back to society a little more easier then others.
King Cipher is now a successful Barber who is totally focused on making music that make you dance yet think. King Cipher describes himself as a duel sided artist. “King” he says is the more laid back reserve pro-consciences emcee who refuses to use curse words in his music. And then theres “Cipher” the gritty lyricist that is well capable of going bar for bar with the best of them

“Een vernieuwende mix van psychedelische hiphop, industrial en drum ‘n bass, samengebracht met Nederlandstalige teksten”.
 
Synergie betekent “resultaat verbeterende samenwerking” en dat is bij uitstek van toepassing op De Producent. De vier leden van de groep, die elkaar ontmoetten op De Nederlandse Popacademie, waren onafhankelijk van elkaar actief in verschillende, muzikaal uiteenlopende acts, voordat ze hun krachten besloten te bundelen. Het resultaat is een eigenzinnige formatie die dromerige sounds koppelt aan wakkere teksten. Deze aanpak heeft van de EP “Synergie” een indrukwekkende luistertrip gemaakt.

Met twee producers in de band, die in hun beats elk een uitgesproken stijl etaleren, maar er desondanks in slagen een homogene sound neer te zetten, worden de grenzen van het genre flink opgerekt. Ook de MC’s en blikvangers van de band Jea Delay en Gonzalez, die poëtische vondsten afwisselen met rake oneliners, vullen elkaar aan op een manier die de titel Synergie meer dan rechtvaardigt.

In 2013 was de band al veelvuldig op festivals te bewonderen (Babypop, Paardpop, Scenes Connected, Feel Free Festival, Eendracht Festival) en bewees daarmee een in ge(s)laagd feestje te kunnen bouwen. Dit jaar zal de band zich richten op het live promoten van hun EP “Synergie”. 

De Producent:
Jea Delay – producer, mc
Freak Leggix – producer, gitarist, zanger
Gonzalez – mc
Baxter - dj

Seattle singer-rapper Paradame has an alluring way about her, with music that deviates from the commercial sounds of the genres it bridges while still remaining accessible. As both a solo artist and one-half of the experimental hip hop group Active I , Paradame has been busy paving her own lane as an artist since her debut on Audiodose Records in 2011. Her blending of dark electronica and R&B laced with smooth but fiery vocals has continued to acuminate throughout the course of releasing three solo albums, in addition to two albums with Active I, and over 50 guest features on various mixtapes and EPs.

Paradame’s songwriting skill and live performances display an unmistakable uniqueness and attitude, coupled perfectly by producer J.Lee Mezus’ bass-heavy rhythms, which have been hailed by industry critics and fans alike. Altogether, her sound heavily rooted in hip hop, draws from various influences, fusing elements of dark wave, R&B, soul, and punk rock. With an energy often laced with darkness, yet wielding a message of light, she’s earned the meaning of her name – the paradoxical dame.
