Wojciech Przysiezny, in dub and sound system culture commonly known as
Violinbwoy, is a gifted musician from Wroclaw (Poland). The now well
established dub merchant started his musical teachings at the young
age of ten. After years of dedicated training at a music school in
Poland, he achieved his personal success of mastering the violin.
Moving to the U.K. for a university degree in ‘music production’
helped him shape a real future in sound. It was here where he stumbled
upon the monthly dub session ‘University of Dub’ – the founding place
of his upcoming journey in dub.

This very session and sound inspired Violinbwoy to start creating
dub-influenced music off the edge. It immediately resulted in his
beats being picked up by sound systems and radio stations across
Europe and Western countries. In matter of months, his dubplates
effectively traversed the globe with support from the biggest sound
systems from the likes of ‘Jah Shaka’ & ‘King Earthquake’.

Soon after this positive movement, the Polish producer decided to give
away his first free release in 2012 named ‘Los Alamos’. His
influential sound was quickly recognised by the well-acclaimed
‘Moonshine Recordings’ flagship, which gave him the honour of remixing
‘Ireland’ by ‘Radikal Guru’. The imprint also enabled him to release
his first, highly successful vinyl release ‘Dread Out Deh’ (which sold
out in matter of minutes). This points out that Violinbwoy’s inventive
sound is accredited by the ever-growing dub culture.

The following years Violinbwoy got invited by various promoters to
come play live dub and violin shows across many venues in Europe. In
2014 and 2015 played live violin for Italian sound system ‘Imperial
Sound Army’ founded by the vocalist and producer of Alpha & Omega -
Dan I. All of this has made Violinbwoy a critical part of dub and
sound system culture. With forthcoming releases on Moonshine
Recordings, Archetype Records and Dub Invasion Records, it’s safe to
say that this musically-inclined dub producer just does what he loves
best: crafting his own version of the ‘roots & culture’ sound.

LaSmala nace gracias a un festival benéfico de ayuda a las víctimas del terremoto de Haití. Entre artistas consagrados, fuimos invitados muchos músicos que trabajábamos en Nantes y alrededores y, como no podía ser de otra manera, se hizo la fiesta entre bastidores. No tardamos mucho en darnos cuenta de que había magia y por eso decidimos volver a reunirnos unos días después. De esas idas y venidas fue naciendo, sin darnos cuenta, el espíritu de La Smala. Tras varios conciertos en Francia (Nantes, Rennes : "Café de l'ile", "La Rumeur", …) se decidió formalizar la banda y ponerle un nombre al proyecto. Se le decidió llamar "LaSmala", que proviene de un término árabe (zmâla) para llamar a las grandes reuniones de familias y caravanas que se producían cuando se debían hacer grandes desplazamientos. Con el tiempo se fue formando un círculo bastante más amplio y el concepto de "LaSmala" fue evolucionando. Debido a que éramos de orígenes muy diferentes y cada uno ponía su influencia propia, nos centramos en experimentar fusiones de estilos de música muy diferentes (reaggae, hip hop, flamenco, árabe, africana, gitana, funk, latina, etc.). Comenzó a haber un mayor interés por la mezcla de culturas, más allá de lo musical. Fue a estas alturas donde hicimos la promesa de viajar por el mundo para descubrir la música tradicional de cada rincón y así poder cultivar nuestra música y hacerla más auténtica. A raíz de esto decidimos organizar el viaje a Sudamérica

Firing up the bassbins and hitting you hard with a dose of raggamuffin junglist energy is what Ed Solo is all about. From Glastonbury to Canada's Shambhala, from dirty Brixton back rooms to Spanish arenas, Ed has travelled the globe throwing down his unique brand of ruffneck bassline bravado for more than a decade. 

Ed's knack for the rudest of hooks is equalled only by his sublime studio skills. He cut his teeth in the mid '90s engineering at the notorious SOUR Records studios, going on to lay down a series of groundbreaking collaborations with jungle kingpin DJ Brockie. In 2007 Ed released ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ alongside Skool of Thought, featuring ‘When I Was A Yout’ and ‘We Play The Music’ among others. A 10th anniversary remix package drops in 2017.

Ed’s partnership with Jungle Cakes partner in crime Deekline has thrown up some of the most memorable tunes of the decade. The pair recently mixed the chart-topping 5th edition of their Welcome to the Jungle series.
