RFU "core" artists
Chwhynny
Chwhynny joined RFU Recordingz in 2004 with her debut release "I Am" which featured on "Hardcore Heaven". Since then she has worked with people like Gammer, Nu Foundation, Darwin, and Orbit1. Chwhynny often uses her own vocals for her tracks, and occasionally she does vocal work for other artists. With Ant Johnson she sang the duet "Intoxicate Me", which she wrote and produced with Ruffage. The exclusive breakbeat mix was featured on "Hardcore Underground", as were her full on vocal track "Until The Day I Die" and "Continental Breakfast", an oldskool piano and stabs collaboration with Gammer.
With her Dutch roots Chwhynny's sound is mainly biased towards uplifting piano-driven happy hardcore, with the occasional darker freeform track, like "909 Revolution" and "Pretty Pink Flower". She is responsible for the infamous "Morris Call", a remix of a traditional morris dancing tune, which combines real live fiddles with oldskool pianos, trance riffs, and freeformy acid lines.

Darwin / Deeper Territory
Darwin was first thrust upon the hardcore community via the Gammer remix of "Take A Ride", done with Ant Johnson and hasn't stopped gaining momentum since. With the massive "Pulse Attack", done in collaboration with Cube::Hard, played by DJ's all across the hardcore spectrum and featured on "Hardcore Heaven 2" the public were first treated to a clear sign that a notable talent was emerging. The underground anthem "Magical Rainbow" showed a fondness for "happy" hardcore, whilst always being counterbalanced with epic and darker material such as "Save Our Souls". Having already mixed a commercially released album with "WOW What a Rush 10" Darwin also turned in a mix on the critically acclaimed "Hardcore Underground" with "WOW 11" released the same month.
Now a "core" RFU Recordingz and Notorious Vinyl artist, with forthcoming releases on Kaotik, Nu Energy, Thin 'n' Crispy, and many other. Darwin is pushing through into the wider hardcore mainstream conciousness without in any way compromising his underground sensibilities and range. From the recent breakbeat remixes of "Release Me" for CLSM and the timeless "Most Uplifting" on KFA, to vocal anthems like "Every Day" and "Angel From The Sky" with forays into "Party" sounds with "Floor Damage" and "Coral Beach" no set is complete without the talents of Darwin (aka Deeper Territory).

Nu Foundation
Nu Foundation's debut might have been "Takin' My Time", but it didn't take much time at all for his rapid ascent into the scene's production elite. After that inarguable anthem, released on Seduction's label Maximum Impact, and featuring on "Hardcore Nation 2", this was followed up in short order with high profile remixes for Scott Brown amongst others. This led to a "Bonkers" debut not only with his remix of "Lost Generation", but on the atypical tip with "In Kontrol" on the Sharkey & CLSM feat Kutski mix. Further work for Nukleuz followed, and album appearances on "Hardcore Heaven 4", "World's Greatest Hardcore", "Hardcore Nation 3" and "Hardwired".
On the vinyl front Nu Foundation showed off his diversity with the "Takin' My Time" EP on Warped Science, featuring the rave breaks track "Signal 2 Noize", following on from his earlier release on Warped Science: "Liberation" / "Closer", on top of providing the flip-side remix for Al Storm's "Never Ever". Last, but certainly not least, he ably assisted on the masterpiece that is "Hardcore Underground 2", signed to RFU Recordingz, and is currently getting serious playtime with the massive underground anthems "I Can Feel It" and "Want Ur Love". Big things, coming...
