PLEASE
NOTE :
We are in no way associated with any political organisation
or whatsoever. Riddim names are usually given spontaneously
by engineers or vocalists during recording sessions. Jihad is
a term that can mean - struggle. Reggae vocalists were/are
often seen as sufferers, especially in the past when they used
to get a bread and butter for a tune, often they did not even
see a small money for their song. Jihad is dominating the news
reports these days. Reggae vocalists are known to be commentators
on the latest news in the world. Poor people were often not
reading the newspapers, instead they went to the dancehall where
a dj/toaster or a singer did comment in his lyrics on the latest
developments in local and/or world politics. This riddim's name
was simply chosen in that reggae tradition.

RYDEMSPLERT - biography
Digital Reggae (Computer-Dancehall) and Jungle/DnB MC
1983: Played Electro and Herbie Hancock records in Clubs at the age of 13. Mother searched for him in town, picked him and his records up from nite clubs and the music had to stop and people had to go home as in those days there was often only one DJ for the nite.
1984: Joined a punkrock band when he was 14 yrs old (The Decay). Looks back at the 8ties with mixed feelings: 'People were in many cases more real and original them days I think. It was not common to just follow mainstream. We came up with many styles of our own. We did not see what to wear on TV.. I designed colorful clothes and I loved the new music. The violence was the downside them days. To see a concert could mean to risk your life!'
The 8ties: 'Huge interest for Funk / New Wave / Dub / Punkrock / Reggae / Electro / Rap. In the mid-8ties, Reggae became the dominating force on ma record shelf.'
Rydemsplurt (Rydemflirt, Riddimflirt), started out in 1989 as a reggae/ragga mc on ROOTS OPERATOR SOUND (establ. 1977). No other Sound System in Europe has been playing Reggae music non-stop for 28 years. The Roots Operator sessions are truly historical, and have survived all other styles, fashions and music tastes through the decades. Even in 2005 the sessions are well attended by 500 to 800 reggae lovers every time. He has then done several recordings with reggae, soul and happy-hardcore/jungle artists and produced some of his own. Did a demo on a jungle riddim in '92 but did not pay too much attention to it. Worked with the RAGGA TWINS on a gig of theirs in 1993. From then on, his interest in jungle/drum&bass increased. That same year the swiss tv station realized a report including artists like GANGLORDS, SNOW, SPEEDYMAN&YASTA plus RIDDIMFLIRT.
Here's a taster from them times. His voice was not fully developed then:
Kick up a soundbwoy (at ROOTS OPERATOR SOUND 1994, RealAudio)
And another one:
Roots operator sound (Rehearsal room 1994, RealAudio)
In 1994 he joined also the DEX SMASHER POSSE which was one of the first jungle outfits for Switzerland. Until more mcs surfaced he was the only mc for jungle in his area and town (as most people actually did'nt knew what it was about), always catching up with new music as it happened before it growed commercially successful. Did also some hip-hop recordings f.e. with a crew called MAMA NATUA. Played Italy, Austria, England, Germany and everywhere [literally] in Switzerland. In Jamaica 1993, some dubs recorded. Act for Reggae-Sunsplash Italy (ROTOTOM, biggest reggae festival for europe) in 1995.
Since 1994 he mcs for the likes of DJ EVOL, LED TAMPI, DJ S-S, RAP, MICKEY FINN, several german DJs, KROME&TIME, DJ TWILIGHT, DJ BALEY, BAD COMPANY, STORM, HIDDEN AGENDA, MINUS 8, VIOLA, ED RUSH, FINE STYLE, METROPOLITAN BASS SCIENTISTS (a Birmingham/Zurich Producer/DJ outfit), WILDCHILD, MAD B., DU LAIT, TENSIONSTATE KRU, MARKY&PATIFE, KLUTE, DAMAGE, REMARC, ANDY C, SHIMON, AKA, DREADY, MOVING FUSION, DJ FADER and many others. In 1998 a record release party of Rydemsplurt had NINJA MAN and SKARRA MUCCI as special guests on stage. Has most definitly helped building up the scene actively and stands nowadays as the original jungle mc for Switzerland.

He has linked up with the TENSIONSTATE KRU in 1998, became a member in 1999 and became one of the most called for artists at the organization. He has recently linked up with DJ JORDANA (U.S.) and as talks are now, a european date or tour is planned for end of this year or beginning of next year.
DJ POISON with MC RYDEMSPLURT (Jan. 2003, RealAudio)
In 2000, after taking some sort of a break (still mcing on wknds) and working about 5 years in the private economy to gain experience in proper project management (which is the main lack within musicians), Rydemsplurt is working on a new project/group named IMPARTIAL KEEPERS[tm] (which he designed as his vision from scratch, bringing all the people together, management tasks, etc.) with a rasta singer from Jamaica and a rapper from Haiti. Involved there are swiss/italian dub/reggae musicians. A jungle mix for the first song is on schedule now, but the reggae production must be finished first.
Apart from that he will probably be instrumental in helping to promote a SOS-childrenvillage effort/project (incl. Fabienne Marquard (CH), Shaggy (JA/U.S.) and Shaggie Williams (FL, U.S.)) in Switzerland. 2003: Rydemsplurt's just recorded a dub plate for swiss hip hop DJ MALIK (playaz club) which is generally more hardcore this time around since that suits this particular DJ's style.
2004: Rydemsplurt's back from England where he in January has recorded a killer dancehall tune with DADDY FREDDY, SPYDA DON, RYDEMSPLURT, BOMMA, BILLY RUCKUS appearing on a hectic, ruff vibe called the JIHAD riddim. Other artists will now voice this riddim composed by BANKRUP (Dubversive Sound System). We are in negotiation with some of the top JA and UK names in dancehall. He's - at the same time - busy co-producing and voicing a dnb album with one of the top US dnb producer/composer/musicians. After being severely underrated in Switzerland (he's quit his booking agency after earlier telling them not to book any more gigs for him in Switzerland as he's not feeling the scene there) surprisingly he's well received internationally with good reviews for his sound links in places like Toronto and Seattle, Washington, L.A., New York, Pittsburgh... etc... UK: South End, Essex, Croydon London, Nottingham, Cardiff...etc., Sweden: Stockholm.. Thailand: Nonthaburi, Krung thep... China: Shandong, Shanghai...
He's also well busy managing the very talented rap group DREAD EVENT .
Production:
Splerter is now investing more time into production....Reggae, Rap and electronic music. Reggae records that he has co-produced for Stereo Deluxe/Ministry of sound have been played in JOHN PEEL sessions (most important radio record presenter, BBC, a true radio legend). He has also produced tunes - with artists he picked - for the british STUDIO 1 (the most legendary reggae label in the world) branch, Peckings Records.
Just not getting bitter by the lack of support, it proves again that good music, can - if believed in - win over hype.
Quotes:::
'I recognize talent when I hear it.' ( JORDANA - US dnb pioneer of 1.8.7 greatness, 2003)
'You're an amazing MC.' ( TALVIN SINGH - one of UK asian music's principal performers, 2003)
Q: 'What do you think about the MC scene overseas?' A: 'Some of them are good. There's a few from Canada that have got potential. Their not really rollers, more on a host, GQ kind of flex. There's a guy I met in Switzerland called Rydemsplurt he's been into the Ragga for years and has a good d&b Ragga flow, but I think it's hard for MCs to make an impact over here; even our MCs can't really do it.' ( MC EKSMAN - 3 times breakthrough MC at the ACCELERATED CULTURE Awards, best newcomer at DRUM and BASS ARENA Awards and most talked about dnb MC in 2002/2003. From interview with ATM Magazine [printed version], Issue 58, 2003)
