Edwin Oosterwal

From Holland's thriving electronic music scene, yet another promising artist steps into the limelight. After being involved in a number of groundbreaking projects, dj and producer Edwin Oosterwal is taking things to the next level. With critically acclaimed solo releases on his own Rejected imprint, remixes for Technasia and Terrence Dixon amongst others and gigs in some of Europe's leading clubs, an international breakthrough is inevitable.

Edwin started dj-ing in the East of Holland, where he was studying to be an engineer and first met with his friend and musical partner in crime Joris Voorn. Mixing all types of music for tough crowds, Edwin soon mastered the ancient craft of dance floor wizardry. Deejaying remained a passion in those days, only to become the main focus in later years. Edwin's engineering endeavours brought him to all corners of the world, picking up different musical influences along the way. His years in Sydney broadened and deepened his take on electronic music. Living in NYC helped further develop Edwin's historical perception.

Edwin returned to Dutch shores in 2005 a seasoned musical connoisseur. He soon hooked back up with Joris, who at the time was making a serious career out of spinning and producing. The two of them started Rejected – production outfit, dj- team and label. From the first release it was clear that Rejected had international appeal. 'For The People', 'Cliché' and 'Let's Go Juno' ended up in all the right record bags. Moreover, as a label manager for Rejected and Green, Edwin helped sign pivotal releases to both labels.

After more than twenty years of paying his dues and biding his time, Edwin finds an old dream fulfilled. Not only is he heading two of Holland's leading electronic music labels. He is also touring the world with his own contemporary take on the sound he has been representing since the early nineties – as Rejected and by himself including shows at Joris Voorn's Spectrum and the infamous Thuishaven in Amsterdam.
