Last night between revision sessions I was trawling through the darkest deepest areas of soundcloud and youtube in search of something special, and I stumbled upon this. This is an absolutely stunning mashup, showcasing the beautiful vocals of Bastille with the deep and mesmerising chords from the XX's 'Angels'. Perfect for any revision playlist, enjoy [...]
Room516 Q&A: John Roman Toronto is going through an unprecedented musical high. Not only is the city consistently bringing in the biggest names in electronic music, it’s also become an epicentre for young and talented artists. At the front of the pack is producer John Roman . We were first introduced to him about a year ago through his widely supported Petrified EP on Turbo Recordings. Fast forward to the present and a few massive EP s, remixes for the likes of Proxy , Crookers and Harvard [...]
John Roman has done it again. This, the 6th edition of his Revisions series, manages to exceed the high expectations I've developed for Roman's work. The Revision series lies at the intersection between being conceptual art and a consumable commodity. No related posts.
The latest in John Roman's excellent Revisions series where he converts rap and hip hop tunes into house, techno and other dance styles. Free download. The first two - here and here - were very good. Can this one keep up the quality? First, Ashanti's Chapter II gets converted into an eerily accurate early 90s vocal House anthem, complete with pianos and breakdowns. Quality but never really my sort of thing. Next, dead prez's RBG . An interesting rework. This tight techy tune reeks of cocaine induced agitation and paranoia. Really [...]
John Roman released the third edition of his latest project Revisions. This time he's decided to flip Ashanti's "Chapter II" and Dead Prez's "RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta." Rivions has easily become my new favorite bi-weekly ritual.

REVISIONS002 by REVISIONS by John Roman This, the second part to John Roman's Revisions series, is another testament to his creativity. Continuing to demonstrate the influence of Hip Hop on his current career, Roman's soundscapes apply old material to a new journey. Sorry this one is so late, its been a busy week. No related posts.

I know you might think it's Saturday, but in fact, I'm writing this on a Thursday and giving it a post-dated publish time, seeing as I'll be at BLOC ! Anyway, I've a real treat for you. Two very nice tech-house remixes I came across today. One masterpiece of a remix of James Blake, and one of the nicest XX remixes I've ever heard. Grab a remix of the XX but the download limit hits! Enjoy. James Blake - CMYK (eLDOKO Remix) [...]
3 Revisions Metal Blade 26 October 2009 by Chris Cope When 3 released their last album, 2007’s The End Has Begun , it seemed like they had the world at their feet. It crunched and grooved, winning the New York band golden support slots with fellow prog-rockers Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater amongst others. What now for this band? Well, they’ve sky-dived their way through an [...]
As Friday swiftly approached, I was constantly reminded by my fellow peers that I should check out a concert happening at Castaways. With no other plans, I decided to take their advice to go see Revision , a local Ithacan band. A few of my friends who are from Ithaca had been raving about Revision, but in the back of my mind I was thinking to myself, "How good can they really be?" Well ladies and gentlemen, I can honestly say that that concert was one of the best I have ever seen in my [...]
Putting an acoustic guitar in the hands of a punk guitarist is a lot like giving a nazi skinhead an antique youth reich dagger: once they behold the fragility of what they've been entrusted with, they can't help but go all soft and cuddly. Take "Time of Your Life," or any of Paul Westerberg's folkier work as examples; all that in-your-face, don't-give-a-fuck attitude traded in like an old cell phone, wittingly exchanged for cello leads and lyrics about getting older (YUCKY!). I can almost see the record execs nodding in consensus: "Look sensitive, get the chicks. I'm glad you've [...]
"In 2006, Justin Maurer of the Clorox Girls asked Douglas Burns of the Observers and Red Dons to perform an acoustic set at one of Maurer's book readings for, Don't You Take Your Life. Burns, along with fellow Red Dons members Hajji Husayn and Derek Skokan, adapted songs he wrote while in the Observers and Speds into an acoustic format for the set. These adaptations proved to be popular amongst the group's friends and they were encouraged to continue performing. That is how the Revisions formed." That pretty much sums it up nicely. However, as a big [...]
