Revolver has over the course of years represented labels such as ‘Real Authentic Reggae’ (Yellowman, Don Carlos), ‘Burning Music Productions’ (Burning Spear), ‘Trojan Records’ (Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Bob Marley ) and ‘Culture’. During 2000 Revolver hosted the first international reggae tour since independence and Burning Spear, Culture and The Wailers made up the ‘Home To My Roots’ tour.
Revolver’s main focus, however, is the distribution of music by local artists and represents a host of the best talent in South Africa. Artists such as Malibongwe, S’fiso, Velishwa, Youth With Mission, Khanyisa, Sgwili and Babo, Israel Mosehla, Glory of the Last Days, Frans Dlamini, Swazi Dlamini, Abanqobi and Kholeka have found their home at Revolver Records.

Revolver has recently (June 2011) entered into a relationship with Next Music who will distribute on our behalf to the supermarket chain stores and handle digital downloads of our artists.
