Биография

Not only has Wiwek become a world-class DJ/producer with a resume full of collaborators and festival gigs to die for, he’s gotten there through a music style that he invented himself: Jungle Terror. It's characterized by complex Indian-inspired rhythms colliding with adrenaline-rush dynamics of trap and tribal house and not to be forgotten: a library full of sampled animal sounds. Early Wiwek singles didn’t sound like any other record being made at the time and soon enough they began to pop up in sets by A-list DJs. In no time he was playing the same stages. A Twitter DM to Skrillex, who was regularly playing his tracks, turned into a relationship that helped take his music to a new level. In 2016 OWSLA released his EP The Free and Rebellious, which included a collaboration between them (“Killa”) Wiwek developed as an artist and took all the knowledge and gained to breathe new life into his own label in 2018, originally formed in 2012 (RIMBU) but renamed to Maha Vana– sanskrit for large forest/jungle. For Wiwek the jungle and forest represent freedom. Maha Vana is the result of Wiwek's evolution from Rimbu into a larger context bringing music, festival experiences and lifestyle together in a world driven by his vision. A paradise where musicians can collaborate without restriction.
