Ragnvald or Rognvald is an Old Norse name (Old Norse Rǫgnvaldr, modern Icelandic Rögnvaldur; in Old EnglishRægnald and in Old Irish, Middle IrishRagnall). Notable people with the name include:
The first release under Richard Wilson’s Rognvald alias kick-starts the new WIFE series with four solid punches of break-fueled rave mania. The pitch black title track ‘R.O.G.N.V.A.L.D’ serves as a fierce introduction to his fresh material with its epic-scale combination of relentless drum work and meticulous arrangement. Up next is the hefty chunk of ‘Whistle Posse’, all rude basslines and rave whistles finely tuned for maximum dancefloor damage. ‘Lowcol Junglist’ opens the B-side with it’s masterfully slick drum control and enormous bass drops followed by the subterranean drum hypnosis of closer ‘Asbiorn’.
This is bass charged jungle warfare apparatus with a modern ruffneck flex from a man who knows how to murder the dance with precision.

Rognvald - Hakon

Listen to the entire Love Love Records discography on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/23jz6x8d
Rognvald returns with his third instalment of The New Selecta series and things are starting to get lively. Overall it’s a more breakneck affair than the previous two editions with four more offerings of future-old skool drum mashup.
‘Hakon’, with it’s smoke-stained sample abuse and distorted urban atmospherics reminiscent of mid-noughties London squat parties, kicks things off before sliding into the sexed up R’n’B grooves of ‘Foreshaddow’. On the flip side ‘Earldom Pollywax’ flexes harsh rave against a platter of chopped amens and wide reese basslines. The EP closes with ‘Depot Drum’ featuring Morris Wotherspoon on vocal and...

Rognvald - Amen Conductor
Track 3 from 'The New Selecta: Volume 2' 12" by Rognvald.
Available to pre-order from: https://bit.ly/2Qa9V56
Rognvald, aka Richard Wilson, returns at full throttle with part 2 of 'The New Selecta'. Rognvald’s unique future-old skool sound continues to evolve in this release, the third 12" in his WIFE series. You will travel into unknown subterranean territory with ‘The New Selecta’, exploring the limits of break choppage and granular sound design on a loved and familiar soundscape, as well as 2 dread filled cuts of swampy ambient reductions.
Using a minimal sound palette to maximal effect, Rognvald deconstructs and abstracts the tropes of old skool jungle. Blending blunted breaks with burrowing subatomic sinewaves, euphoric rave vocals lead to a nuclear ruffneck ecstacy.

Staff at St Rognvald House in Kirkwall have been planning a series of events throughout 2024 for their biggest target yet - raising enough funds for a summer house, polytunnel and men's shed for their new-build facility.
Local school pupils have been given an insight into careers in social care thanks to a partnership initiative between Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Orkney and St Rognvald's House in Kirkwall.
There were smiles a'plenty when the 'Let's Learn and Jam' youth music group visited residents at St Rognvalds House recently ... Kirstin Swannie, SeniorSocial CareWorker at St Rognvald's, said.
