WINTERSPLASH - zimska Seasplash zabava - je polufestivalski klupski događaj u organizaciji Seasplash festivala, pokrenut nakon gašenja Zagreb Winter Reggae Festivala, koji je od 2005. do 2007. godine organiziran u suradnji sa Bass Culture Soundsystemom.

U proteklih 5 godina ZWRF i Wintersplash ugostili su mnoga respektabilna imena (Prince Alla, Ranking Joe, Dreadzone Soundsystem, Aba Shanti I, Abassi All Stars, Misty In Roots, Vibronics, Brain Damage, Kode 9, Tricky D,...), uz podršku domaćih izvođača (Edo Maajka, Radikal Dub Kolektiv, ST!llness,...), te različitih DJ-a i soundsystema.

Ove godine Wintersplash se pojavljuje u "soundsystem" izdanju, kroz nekoliko stilova (roots reggae, dub, dubstep, jungle, drum'n'bass), te presjek domaće scene i stalnih suradnika, koji se u proteklo vrijeme ističu stalnim angažmanom, predanošću, organizacijom različitih događanja, produkcijom, izdanjima, i sl., pa evo nekoliko informacija i o njima:

DIGITRON SOUND SYSTEM
- soundsystem kojeg su osnovali članovi Radikal Dub Kolektiva i Jahstice Sound-a, mogu se ponosno pohvaliti kao vlasnici prvog domaćeg ozvučenja sa moćnim "scoops" (bas) zvučnicima, poštujući i nastavljajući izvornu tradiciju započetu prije mnogo godina na Jamajci, kada su se "soundsystem-ima" mogli nazivati samo oni koji su se na plesnjacima pojavljivali sa vlastitim zvučnim zidom. Bliska suradnja započeta je na prošlogodišnjem, 7. izdanju Seasplash festivala, gdje su se Digitronci pojavili kao domaćini novopokrenutog Dubsplash, ukupno petog festivalskog stage-a, a suradnja je nastavljena i na zagrebačkom izdanju 7. Seasplash Fade Out party-a krajem studenog.
Organizatori redovitih International Dub Meeting-a, u sklopu kojih ugošćuju srodne izvođače sa međunarodne scene (Jah Free, Dandelion Soundsystem, Weeding Dub, Webcam Hi-Fi, O.B.F,...). Osim pozitivnih vibracija i dubokih bas frekvencija, očekujte roots/dub selekciju sa mnoštvo svježih materijala i dubplate-ova, uz koje MC-i prenose društveno osvještene poruke.

KINGSTON crew
- JIN-SAN; vlasnik vjerovatno najveće kolekcije reggae vinila na ovim područjima, te jedan od ponajboljih nu-reggae/dancehall/jungle DJ-a. Svoju davno započetu misiju konkretizira prije 6 godina otvaranjem Kingston shopa, koji dodatni smisao dobija bližim povezivanjem sa Seasplash organizacijom. Osim specijaliziranog dućana, Kingston funkcionira i kao soundsystem koji okuplja nekoliko selektora, kao organizator i promoter redovitih party-a, kao etiketa koja je objavila prva domaća dub (Radikal Dub Kolektiv) i dancehall (Popay/Kingston Sound) izdanja (najavljujući u idućem razdoblju i prvi domaći jungle/d'n'b album Filipa Motovunskog), uz mnoge dodatne aktivnosti koje karakterizira vječni entuzijazam i ljubav prema glazbi i soundsystem kulturi.
- FILIP MOTOVUNSKI; nova "zvijezda" domaće scene i trenutno jedan od najzanimljivijih DJ-eva i producenata na ovim područjima, a i šire. Svoje prve korake napravio kao MC i beatmaker hip-hop/jungle sastava PCP, uskoro prešavši na produkciju jungle/drum’n'bass zvuka, ujedno postavši dio Kingston Sound-a. Organizator i domaćin pazinskih "Drama" party-a, te jedan od organizatora motovunskog Input festivala. Nakon nastupa na 6. Seasplash festivalu njegovu kvalitetu prepoznao je i RCola, renomirani kanadski DJ i producent, ali i vlasnik jedne od najagilnijih jungle etiketa svjetske važnosti - JungleXpeditions - koja je početkom godine objavila i prvi Filipov EP "Ta Pa Tap" sa 5 pjesama u digitalnom formatu, koji služi i kao najava mnogih lijepih stvari i nadolazećih izdanja u budućnosti.

DUBstep KLUB crew
- Bamster (Bamwise/Digitron), Jan Becele (Trip To Zion) i Meniga (Radikal Dub/Seasplash) su pokretači i rezidenti DUBstep Klub-a, novog klupskog programa pokrenutog u drugoj polovici prošle godine, koji promovira jedan od trenutno aktualnijih stilova elektronske produkcije, koji se širi poput zaraze i dobija sve više poklonika na globalnoj razini. Smatraju da je napravio određenu evoluciju stila, kako u aranžmanskom, tako i u produkcijskom smislu, među najuspješnijima reciklirajući različite stilove u elektronici. Novi klupski hepening u startu je dokazao da ima prostora za bolju promociju i prezentaciju u domaćim okvirima, primarno motiviran željom za partijanjem uz novu dobru glazbu, oslanjajući se na tvrđu, mračniju i psihodeličniju stranu stila, najavljujući brojna događanja i gostovanja u nadolazećem razdoblju...

TRIP TO ZION
- zagrebački audio-vizualni kolektiv započeo je djelovanje prije gotovo 5 godina u klubu Močvara organizirajući reggae i dub večeri na mjesečnoj bazi s ciljem promoviranja mladih neafirmiranih DJ-a, sound systema i bendova. S vremenom se počinje širiti i na druge glazbene žanrove (d'n'b, breakbeat, trance, dubstep,...), i počinje organizirati koncerte eminentnih glazbenih skupina kako s prostora bivše Jugoslavije, tako i iz Europe. Sukladno s time, DJ-i i VJ-i Trip to Zion kolektiva sve češće gostuju na raznim festivalima, koncertima i partijima, pa su posljednjih godina redoviti izvođači i suradnici Seasplash festivala. 2007. godine započinju suradnju s glazbenom skupinom ST!llness kreirajući vizualizacije na njihovim nastupima, šireći tako opseg svog djelovanja u području video produkcije. Osim participacije u pokretanju Dubstep Klub-a, krajem 2009. zaslužni su za produkciju video spota grupe Elemental za njihov aktuelni singl "U mojoj glavi".

WINTERSPLASH - Winter Seasplash Party - is semifestival happening organized by Seasplash festival, raised on ashes of Zagreb Winter Reggae Festival, that was done in cooperation with Bass Culture Soundsystem, from 2005. to 2007.

In the last 5 years ZWRF and Wintersplash brought many known artists (Prince Alla, Ranking Joe, Dreadzone Soundsystem, Aba Shanti I, Abassi All Stars, Misty In Roots, Vibronics, Brain Damage, Kode 9, Tricky D,...), supported by local acts (Edo Maajka, Radikal Dub Kolektiv, ST!llness,...), various DJ and soundsystem crews.

This year Wintersplash appears in soundsystem edition, through several styles (roots reggae, dub, dubstep, jungle, drum'n'bass), with an overview of the Croatian scene and long lasting companions of the Seasplash festival, that stand out with continues engagement, dedication, events organization, production, releases, etc., so here are a few infos about them:

DIGITRON SOUND SYSTEM
- sound system started by Radikal Dub Kolektiv and Jahstice Sound members, can be proud to be the 1st Croatian soundsystem with mighty "scoops" speakers, with respect and in continuation of tradition started many years ago on Jamaica, when only those who had their own p.a. on the dances could call themselves a "sound system". Cooperation started on the last years edition of the 7th Seasplash festival, where Digitron appeared as hosts of Dubsplash Stage, that was continued on Zagreb edition of 7th Seasplash Fade Out Party at the end of November.
They organize regular International Dub Meetings with guests from international scene (Jah Free, Dandelion Soundsystem, Weeding Dub, Webcam Hi-Fi, O.B.F,...). Besides positive vibrations, a lot of fresh selection and dubplates can be expected, with MC's that bring conscious messages along.

KINGSTON crew
- JIN-SAN; owner of probably the biggest reggae vinyl collection on these territories, and one of surely the best nu-reggae/dancehall/jungle DJ's. Started Kingston Shop 6 years ago, that got some new dimensions through closer connection with Seasplash organisation. Besides reggae shop, Kingston functiones as soundsystem that gatheres a few selectors, doing regular parties, and as record label that released first Croatian dub (Radikal Dub Kolektiv) and dancehall (Popay/Kingston Sound) releases (announcing first Filip Motovunski full-lenght, that will be the 1st Croatian jungle/d'n'b album), as well as a lot of other activities based on everlasting enthusiasm and love towards reggae and soundsystem culture.
- FILIP MOTOVUNSKI; new "star" on the Croatian scene and currently one of the most interesting DJ and producer. Made his first steps as MC and beatmaker of hip-hop/jungle act PCP, and then started to work on jungle/drum'n'bass production, at the same time becoming the new member in Kingston Sound. Regularly doing "Drama" parties in the city of Pazin, being a part of Input festival team in the place of Motovun as well. His performance on the 6th Seasplash festival was noticed by RCola - Canadian DJ and producer with renomee, and owner of JungleXpeditions label, that just released "Ta Pa Tap", Filip's first digital 5-songs EP, that announced many nice things and new releases in the future.

DUBstep KLUB crew
- Bamster (Bamwise/Digitron), Jan Becele (Trip To Zion) i Meniga (Radikal Dub/Seasplash) are DUBstep KLUB founders and residents, new clubbing event that started in the second half of the last year, promoting very actual electronic style, that spreads as a disease around the globe. Thinking that it evolved the style, both in arrangements and production, successfully recycling different electronic influences. It already proved there is more space for dubstep promotion in the region, primarily motivated with the wish to party along new and good music, mostly relying on its harder, darker and more psychedelic definition, announcing many events and guesting acts in time that comes.

TRIP TO ZION
- audio-visual collective based in Zagreb formed 5 years ago, organising regular monthly reggae and dub parties, in order to promote young DJ's, sound systems and bands. As time passed by, they developed to more different styles (d'n'b, breakbeat, trance, dubstep,...), as well as to booking shows for known ex-Yugoslavian and European acts. Trip To Zion collective DJ's and VJ's are now appearing regularly on various festivals, shows and parties, being also a part of the Seasplash festival editions in the last few years. In 2007. they started to work live visuals on ST!llness (Croatian reggae hip-hop band) shows, developing to the video production, too. Besides participating in DUBstep KLUB, by the end of 2009. they made video for Elemental (known Croatian hip-hop band), for their actual single.
