Wiwek

Dutch DJ/producer Wiwek has been enjoying this more and more since his rise to the scene in 2012. He’s brought a distinctive style, where complex Indian-inspired rhythms collided with the adrenaline-rush dynamics of trap and tribal house. Early Wiwek singles like ‘Angry Birdz’ and his Gregor Salto collaboration ‘On Your Mark’ didn’t sound like anything else being made at the time, but soon enough they began popping up in sets by A-list DJs. In short time he was playing the same stages as them, making his first festival appearance in 2015 at Ultra,

A Twitter DM to Skrillex, who Wiwek knew was regularly playing his tracks, turned into a relationship that’s helped take the young artist to a new level. In 2016 OWSLA released his EP ‘The Free and Rebellious’, which not only included a collaboration between the two (‘Killa’) but also served as the soundtrack to a short film called Still in the Cage that the pair co-produced, and premiered that August to a massive crowd at the Ace Hotel in Downtown LA. The release was followed by a full EP in 2017, while his musical journey continued in 2018 by releasing his first compilation ‘The SAGA’ on the imprint BARONG Family. The SAGA collected some of Wiwek’s favourite tracks from the Jungle terror EP’s and added some new tunes.
