Get your jazz trance on


Thomas* posted some info on an album by Jonah Dempcy/Revolution Void.
From Milieu:
Revolution Void is a project by producer and jazz pianist Jonah Dempcy, mixing jazz and breakbeat. You may remember acclaimed musicians who decided to produce drum and bass, and it turning out as complete garbage: nothing there for jazz fans, nothing there for drum and bass fans. Increase the Dosage, however, combines breakbeat and melodic electronica in a charming way that makes for something not only worth listening to, but also something you’ll keep coming back to for years to come.
With bass by Matthew Garrison, sax by Seamus Blake and Darryl Estes, and guitars by Nicolas Manel, there’s a lot of serious musicians contributing some excellent material to the album. This, and careful production, makes Increase the Dosage an exceptional package. Surprisingly, it’s free to download, released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 license.
It's a great jazz/trance album. Especially from a 21 year old producer. And you can download the whole mix for free from the website.
The downside is that I had to do a weird conversion on the ID tags to get it to play in Windows Media or Yahoo Player. I had to tell my computer to open each file in iTunes and then went to Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags before it would play in my media player. But otherwise, great album. Check it out.

*Someone should invent a patch for blogger that lets you do a keyboard shortcut for common links and phrases. But thanks again Thomas for another great headsup.

Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for posting a link to my music! :)

Sorry about the ID3 tag thing-- I'll have to figure that out for the next release. I set the tags using Winamp, but I do have iTunes installed, so I may try that. I'll look into it.

Incidentally, I'm releasing a single for the track Effects of Elevation from Increase the Dosage, which will include remixes by Sevenless and Citizen Prime. It should be out in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again for the post!
