BIOGRAPHY:
RCola lives in Montreal, Canada and plays a high-energy blend of jungle and dubwise
vinyls alongside his own original dubplates. After discovering jungle music on late-night
radio in 1999, RCola began producing and playing out as a DJ.

In 2002, he co-founded the infamous 'Chopstick Dubplate' label and began to release
vinyls and tour. In 2004, he created his own labels 'JungleXpeditions' and 'Royal Crown'
and to date has released many songs on vinyl and CD and toured throughout Europe 8 times
playing over 130+ shows in 18 different countries.

In the studio, RCola has produced tunes with Top Cat, Demolition Man, MC Navigator,
Barrington Levy, Johnny Osbourne, Jr. Reid, Jimmy Riley, Sister Nancy, Bass Nacho,
and Bigg Triggs, who all appear on his vinyl and exclusive dubplate productions.

NEW FULL LENGTH ARTIST ALBUM >> NOW AVAILABLE ON CD and MP3 at Beatport! <<


A key player in the North American ragga-jungle revival, RCola's polished
production aesthetic & highly musical ear is evidenced throughout his uplifting
reggae-flavoured compositions.

RCola is one of those artists who's constantly pushing the genre to a higher level;
always going for a colourful approach to D'nB. Drawing on soundsystem culture
and an amazing line-up of singers, RCola's "Rub A Dub Wize" offers fans of
his original sound the chance to bring their one-foot skankin' styles home.

Rub A Dub Wize" is a 14 track collection of RCola's hottest tunes, including
re-mastered versions of his collaborations with reggae greats Sister Nancy,
Barrington Levy, Jimmy Riley, and UK chanteuse Belle Humble; as well
as remixes of live bands Aiwa (France) and Transglobal Underground (UK).

Lead-off single "Beat the System" features stellar vocal work from Soultrain
and will also be released on the forthcoming 12" vinyl as Wikkid Riddim 03
later this summer.
