R-Bennig
A very eccentric independent label run by Johnny "R". This label consistenly produces innovative material, which at times can be ruthlessly anti-commercial. (not entirely on purpose either). The label has worked with many artists using or fusing many styles of music. Apart from the underground groups and collaborations, the label's other projects are the Waw Ffactor and Pic Nic, that are more commercially appealing. Yet both groups can be listened to on two (or more) levels, which is why an R-Bennig record is always intriguing and becomes even more so when listened to repeatedly. The Waw Ffactor, which is fronted by actress and singer Rachel Carpenter, has achieved success in both Wales and on the European continent.
Most of the records in the back catalogue are either not available any more, or are not distributed by the label itself. Recent releases should be available from Welsh shops, and for further information you should contact R-Bennig on the phone number given below.
