The Vandal
It’s hard to imagine a background so disconnected from the roots of hiphop and rap, but Wick in remote northern Scotland has produced one of the UK’s brightest rising stars of the genre.
The juxtaposition of having been brought up in a rural town in northern Scotland to the stateside urban womb of hip hop is undoubtedly astonishing. But hiphop is now transnational and transracial, it’s speak to the minorities, the disenfranchised, the disenchanted, to those that live on the periphery of society and beyond; to those with no voice. Indeed it gives them one. And the Vandal genuinely falls in to this social strata and has become an accomplished exponent of the genre. His lyrically complex jams impart an honesty of emotion and experience that only the best artists of hip hop/rap achieve; it's from the heart and it's pumping. It's an aggressive uncompromising sound thats been crafted over years of gigging and recording - it merges samples and beats to let his story be heard with deft and engaging musicality. His debut single "Animals" at Wolf Entertainment is now available on Itunes and all other bigger download stores. Much more to come by this great artist! Kenny Keys

RADIOLA was one of the greatest inventions for humanity! A vintage portable record player spinning LP's & 45 RPMs reminding people the sounds of yesteryear, played in our present. Through this invention, the timeless quality of music could be appreciated to the fullest.
Growing up in a landscape of tropical weather and green hills in the town of Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Ivan González Aulet, Poldo Castro and Willie Román went to Miguel De Cervantes High School where their love of music would cause their paths to meet. Living in the “Enchanted Island”, many styles of music and different languages were constantly playing on the radio, performed live and being seen on TV. All of RADIOLA’s members were hypnotized and driven to make music. They then began learning their trade individually, and collectively, when performing in multiple venues in San Juan and all over the island. Each member of RADIOLA had their own road to pave through personal music projects. Studying in the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez campus a.k.a. Colegio de Mayagüez, Ivan González Aulet became a founding member of the Nueva Canción Movement in Puerto Rico, joining and eventually leading the influential group, Haciendo Punto. With this musical group, González traveled and presented an original take on the diverse traditions of the island’s music. Willie Román moved to New York City, playing rock n’ roll and blues-based music with groups such as Stagecoach and The Alliance but never forgetting his Boricua roots. In the 1980’s, he returned to Puerto Rico and formed RPM (a hard working musical force playing throughout the Island). Through participation in other musical projects, Román is introduced to another piece of the RADIOLA puzzle, Ivan Martinez. Martínez, is a highly-regarded percussionist and drummer, having played with well-known and respected acts like Los Rayos Gamma and Jibaro Jazz, just to name a few. With later incarnations of RPM, Román reunited with Ivan González Aulet, continuing a long-standing musical association. Another important traveler in this musical journey is respected musician, songwriter and performer, Poldo Castro. Castro has been a hit-maker for artists like Tito Rojas & Los Hispanos throughout his career. After years of collaborations, RADIOLA emerged out of the bond of musical inspiration, mutual respect, harmony and the pleasure that comes from playing with good friends. In 2013, RADIOLA was born by four musician friends with a passion to bring a fresh musical proposal while maintaining a sense of humor about it. All their individual influences melting together and forging an original musical statement. RADIOLA cannot overlook the importance of dear friend Emilsam Velázquez who is another important part of this story. Sammy produces and brainstorms alongside this project with talented ears and “mucho afecto” (lots of care). Sammy’s credentials are renowned the world over as a producer, musician, songwriter and recording engineer. Thanks to his support, this project is alive and well and thanks to Hellmut Wolf of Wolf Entertainment will be promoted throughout the world. RADIOLA’S first album, “STEREOPHONIC SOUND” is ready to be heard and appreciated, so turn it on people and listen to yesterday with the sounds of today! PEACE 2 ALL!! Denny McCaffrey
We are very happy to have Denny on our roster of artists. His voice is incredible and the album we are working on is OLD SCHOOL. Denny’s album, 'Come On In', was recorded in the summer of 1976 but after contractual and internal political problems the album was put on the shelf! A few tape copies were made for friends and “that was that”! Many years later (2004) Denny went to a concert at The Stables, Johnny Dankworths music venue in Milton Keynes, to see guitarist Albert Lee with his band Hogans Heros. Denny thought he recognized the keyboard player and was right, it was hit recording artist and producer Pete Wingfield (18 With A Bullet). Pete had written some of the songs on Denny’s “Come on In” album but they had never met. On Denny introducing himself after the show Pete was thrilled, he had known about the “Come On In” project but had never heard any of the tracks, he asked Denny to send him a copy, which he did, it was an old rough tape one, Denny thought “that’s that” After some time Pete called to say the album was great “it’s the lost soul album of the 70’s, you must do something with it” The hunt was on, where were the original tapes? Nobody knew! Denny again made contact with Producer Bruce Baxter, guitarist Ray Russell and Drummer Simon Phillips no one knew. Calls to Chiltern Radio and DJ Martin Collins at Virgin Radio could not shine any light on the lost recordings and then as a last resort Denny called his old friend Steve Williamson after first searching him out, “I don’t suppose you’ve got a reel to reel copy of the album (Steve had done the tape copies for friends) “I think it might be in my Mum’s garage” he said, It was!!!!!! Would it play? Baked in an oven by Pete Brown at Beck Studios so that it might play just once, the tape was then transferred to computer……it played!!! Then to Ray Russells “Old Surgery Studio” in Sussex where Rik Walton brought it back to life. The album is now available via Wolf Entertainment is most digital download stores. Furthermore, Denny just released his new hit single "Midnight Express". Rook

"What is Clave Tres"
Just when we think that we are at the end of the road in regard to creative innovations in Afro Caribbean Jazz music … along comes a new musical style called Clave Tres. Raúl Berríos, Executive Producer and artist, General Director & Multi-Percussionist, created all rhythms pattern in Clave Tres. Berríos believe that creative opportunities and rhythmic innovations in Afro Caribbean Jazz Music are found directly at the source in West Africa and the African roots in Puerto Rico. Clave Tres changes the rules completely by replacing the binary rhythmic foundation with a uniquely formatted rhythmic structure played over an African time line of 24 pulses resulting in a new distinctly original and captivating Puerto Rican, “Genuine Jazz Boricua”. The stylistic sound characteristics and textures of Afro Caribbean Jazz Music are transported into a new dimension of musical expression which to those who are accustomed to the status quo in latin music, is both familiar and refreshingly unfamiliar all at the same time. John Storm Roberts in the books of "Latin Jazz: The First of the Fusions, 1880s to Today"; said: “Except on Afro Caribbean Jazz Music - ideological grounds this might not seem like a big deal, but when added to the other complexities of “Genuine Jazz Boricua” rhythms it's creates both a different set of rhythmic possibilities and also melodic lines that fall outside the most familiar popular music patterns”. Check out their amazing album "Espana En Tres". Common Culture - Smokey
"I have known Smokey since two years via promoter and friend Ian Mansfield," says Hellmut Wolf, director of Wolf Entertainment. "We kept in touch while he is travelling and working all over south East Asia, and recently we decided to re-release his album "STAND TALL" via our digital outlets. It is a great album and certainly stands up to the test of time. Now that we have this project under way, and we can introduce Smokey to a wider audience, I am sure we will not have to wait too long for a follow up album". Brian Burtonelli (AKA Smokey) was born in blues town of St. Louis, Missouri and began singing in church at a very early age. Growing up “in the hood” was not promising to him and he badly needed a way out! Luckily his god giving talent for music fuelled by his passion for performing drove him to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a professional entertainer. Ever since Smokey's band Common Culture has been travelling and working all over the US and South East Asia, where they recorded "Stand Tall". Since then Smokey has written produced and worked many artist and productions in Malaysia and abroad including artist like Reshmonu and Ferhad. His voice has been used for many commercials for Coke Cola, Xpax, Nescafe….the list goes on. Now with the opening of his own studio and label “C4”, we expect to hear a lot more from Smokey in the near future!
