Rowland the Bastard

about

Rowland the Bastard (whose name comes from his straight-to-the-jugular style of mixing, and not his attitude!) started djing back in 1993. He could be found taking control of the dance floor at many free parties in the south west of England. Out of these nights emerged a fuck-off sound system co-run by the legendary Pigfarmer and Rowland himself. Together they were renowned for putting their 30k sound assault in any field, beach or squat, at anytime, anywhere. By 1996, Pigfarmer and Rowland joined forces with Bristol based party crew Sunnyside, and went on to organize some of the biggest parties Bristol had ever seen, attracting as many as 5000 party-people a night during their two month reign over the cities' industrial estates. Working with Sunnyside introduced Rowland to London based crews UN Sound and the Big Sexy Festy organization, this led to bookngs at many underground party venues including Parkway Cinema, North London Uni, The Rocket and Hackney Marshes. Around this time Rowland started working for Plymouth based record shop & record label Urban Collective, in their Exeter branch. It wasn't long before Rowland gained the knowledge, encouragement and enthusiasm to establish his own record label, Bionic Orange. The first release on Bionic orange caught the attention of chris liberator who was so impressed with the tune that he approached Rowland with the offer of doing some remix work and collabourating on some production projects.
