Revolution Void - Increase The Dosage
Electronic and keyboard artist Jonah Dempcy has been performing under the name of Revolution Void since the age of 12. His music is down-tempo to mid-tempo electronica laced with a large dose of jazz improvisation. On Increase The Dosage he is assisted by a number of jazz players including tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake of the Mingus Big Band and bassist Matthew Garrison, the son of jazz great Jimmy Garrison. Jonah is quite a capable keyboard soloist as evidenced on tracks like “Effects of Elevations” and “Double the Daily Dosage”. One track, “Weekend Amnesia”, may have the first jazz turntable solo I have ever heard. I am usually not impressed by most electronic / jazz hybrids but Revolution Void catches my attention. There is a really nice groove going on here that shouldn’t be miss by anyone liking jazz, acid jazz, or jazz-based electronica.
The album is available in either separate tracks or album zip in the following formats; Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, 62 kbps MP3, or VBR MP3. If you like the music, support the artist by purchasing this and other CDs which you can find on his web site.
The sounscape is incredible on Increase the Dosage and Threadsoul are get em while the gettins good!

Hi Marvin,
Thanks for the review! I really appreciate it. And I’ve never been referred to as “Electronic and keyboard artist” before but I really like it. :) Most people just say “producer” but the way you put it makes me smile.
I just wanted to let you know that I released a new album on July 15, 2011 and it is available to download in its entirety free from Jamendo:
http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/94907
It’s 100 minutes of music spanning funk, downtempo, ambient, minimal, and even a couple disco/house style tracks.
I was thinking about Hundertwasser’s excellent essay on “Window Dictatorship and Window Rights” where he talks about the “segregation” that occurs in architecture where, for instance, Victorian-style windows cannot be placed next to modern windows in the same building. I realized you can apply the same theory to music, and that I have been self-imposing a “segregation” of sorts of my songs.
Before I put this release together, I considered putting all the house tunes on one disc, all the downtempo on another and so on. But then I realized, why homogenize everything? Diversity is the spice of life and 100 minutes of the same style of music would be monotonous. So I ended up with a pretty eclectic mix of tunes, that nevertheless coalesce into some sort of congruent whole. (At least I hope so!)
Thanks again for your review. I hope you enjoy the latest release.
Best,
-Jonah
