About BDWRekordings.com
History
BDWRekordings.com is a non-profit "Net Label" and "Promotional" site dedicated to promoting Dance Music Talent with FREE dance music downloads.
1993 - 2001
Barry Walker, owner and founder, first started writing music back in 1993 during the Bouncy Techno explosion in Scotland and went through a phase of writing Happy Hardcore during the late 90's. Barry had always spoke about starting up a record label called BDWRekordings during that time and hopes where dashed when the Scottish scene collapsed in 1997.
Despite this he continued to write music and his production skills where getting better all the time.
2001 - Present
This was when BDWRekordings.com started to emerge and at first it was started as a place to promote music written by Barry Walker
During these years Barry has been writing UK Hardcore, Scouse House, Trance, Mainstream Dance & Bouncy Techno tunes under the names DJ Jordan K and Vibemaster B. Barry also started up a project called Euphorik Rhythm by writing Acid style Hardcore under the name.
BDWRekordings.com, which used to be known as just BDW Rekordings until Barry thought it would be better for promotion to use the website address as the name, is now growing from strength to strength with every release and is now signing other great talent such as Terminal Velocity aswell as Barry Walker's new act Barry Euphorik.
Future
To continue signing great talent
Long Live BDWRekordings.com
