Wojciech Przysiezny, in dub and sound
system culture commonly known as
Violinbwoy, is a gifted musician from
Wroclaw (Poland).
The now well established dub merchant
started his musical teachings at the
young age of ten. After years of
dedicated training at a music school in
Poland, he achieved his personal success
of mastering the violin. Moving to the
U.K. for a university degree in ‘music
production’ helped him shape a real
future in sound. It was here where he
stumbled upon the monthly dub session
‘University of Dub’ – the founding place
of his upcoming journey in dub. This very
session and sound inspired Violinbwoy to start creating dub-influenced music
off the edge.
It immediately resulted in his beats being picked up by sound systems and
radio stations across Europe and Western countries. In matter of months, his
dubplates effectively traversed the globe with support from the biggest sound
systems from the likes of ‘Jah Shaka’ & ‘King Earthquake’. Soon after this
positive movement, the Polish producer decided to give away his first free
release in 2012 named ‘Los Alamos’. His influential sound was quickly
recognised by ‘Moonshine Recordings’ which gave him the honour of remixing
‘Ireland’ by ‘Radikal Guru’. The imprint also enabled him to release his
first, highly successful vinyl release ‘Dread Out Deh’ (which sold out in
matter of minutes). This points out that Violinbwoy’s inventive sound is
accredited by the ever-growing dub culture.
The following years Violinbwoy got invited by various promoters to come play
live dub and violin shows across many venues in Europe. In 2014 and 2015
played live violin for Italian sound system ‘Imperial Sound Army’ founded by
the vocalist and producer of Alpha & Omega – Dan I. All of this has made
Violinbwoy a critical part of dub and sound system culture. With many
releases on Moonshine Recordings, Archetype Records, Dub Invasion Records
and Tribe84 Records it’s safe to say that this musically-inclined dub
producer just does what he loves best: crafting his own version of the
‘roots & culture’ sound.
In 2017 he release his debut LP ‘Død on 3LP which sold out very quickly.
Beside productions he also plays regulary with Imperial Sound Army at events
such as University Of Dub in London, as well as his solo shows on festivals
and clubs around Poland and Europe.
