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/producer Edwin Oosterwal is taking things to the next level. With a critically acclaimed solo-début on his own Rejected imprint and gigs in some of Europe's leading clubs, an international breakthrough is the aim of the game.

Edwin started DJing in the East of Holland (where he was studying to be an engineer) and first met his friend and future musical partner Joris Voorn. Mixing all types of music, Edwin soon mastered the craft of dance floor wizardry. DJing remained a passion in those days, only to become the main focus later. 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, and living in NYC helped further develop Edwin's historical perception.

Edwin returned to Holland in 2005, a seasoned musical connoisseur. He soon hooked up with Joris, who at the time was making a serious career out of spinning and producing. The two of them started Rejected - a production outfit, DJ-team and what was to become one of the most exciting new labels around. 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 the label manager for Rejected and also their more experimental Green label, Edwin also oversaw the signing of such pivotal releases as Pitto's "Feelin'" and 360's "Neon".

After more than fifteen years of paying his dues and biding his time, Edwin finds an old dream being 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 (with Joris) and individually. Awakenings, Fabric and Panoramabar are only the beginning, things are set to get even more exciting throughout 2010 and beyond.
