RWND, otherwise known as Erwin Oomen, is one of a new breed of exciting DJ/producers to be making waves as his music gains attention and praise worldwide. Already signed to the most prestigious label for rising talent, X-Bone, and with hardstyle growing year on year and slowly but surely creeping into the mainstream, it’s not going to be long before bigger successes await him.
Erwin got hooked on uplifting melodies and pounding beats at a young age. In 2007 he ventured on to the stage himself and took his first steps towards a career in music. Through the early years he experimented with different genres using varying aliases until he found his true passion, hardstyle.
5 years later Erwin became part of a duo called Sound Interference, and in 2016, after much studying, experimentation and some music production tuition, they released their first track, Surrender. Soon after this came the follow up release, Something Inside. It was at this point Erwin felt being in a duo wasn’t allowing him to realise his full potential, so he decided to go solo and RWND was born.
The meaning Erwin gave to the name RWND, is “taking a few steps back to make a fresh start”, which is exactly what he had the courage to do. He felt this meaning hit him on both a personal and professional level, as if the name were destined to be.
With RWND’s music Erwin aim’s to capture the emotion and feelings he found early on when he first discovered and fell in love with hardstyle, but also adding a modern twist, ensuring that his sound remains current and stands up there with the modern day sound. As a DJ, his passion in music can be clearly felt and seen at any one of his energetic stage performances, where he regularly captures the attention of his audience with both his music and on-stage energy.
As well as being signed to X-Bone, RWND’s music has also appeared on Gearbox Euphoria and Rough Recruits. As a DJ Erwin has been fortunate enough to attract bookings for events such as the Bassrulers Outdoor Exhibition.
Still in an early part of his career, Erwin has big plans for RWND, and has his goals firmly set in mind. He’s aiming for the stars with hopes one day of performing at all major worldwide festivals and releasing on the biggest hardstyle labels, such as Scantraxx. In achieving what he has in such a short space of time, this is undoubtedly possible.
