John Roman With Guns

Overdrive infinity. Optimal capacity. Unlimited energy. Unstoppable gravity.

Yes I've done this song before, but this time around I think I'll use these words of wisdom to describe an incredible 21 year old DJ from Toronto. By now you've hopefully realized we just looove to support local talent. MDMAwesome hyped this guy a while back and righteously so, I present to you today: John Roman.

Teki Latex - Dinosaurs With Guns (John Roman Remix)
Great song to begin with in my opinion. He does nothing bad to it in my opinion. Other remixes try to change the original song too much in my opinion (no hate to the Knight Cats remix, the beat is great). Anyways it better be obvious that the most important thing here is my opinion.

Nadastrom - Save Us (John Roman Nigerian Dub)
Recently released on Neoteric's Turned On: Vol 1 (what haven't I already mentioned on the blog before...?) this track has gotten praise from Brodinski, LA Riots and evidently Nadastrom.

Proxy - 8000 (John Roman Lost Tourist Dub)
Congorock has supposedly been playing this one out a lot in his sets. Since it started appearing in January and I saw him in February in Montreal I'll pretend I knew the song was gonna be such a hit! To be honest though, I don't remember much from that night except: Babylon, Sbombers, maybe the Harvard Bass remix of I Wanna See You and of course the 4 ridiculously hot chicks dancing on stage all night.


*Note to self: become a DJ since the 4 of 'em all left with Congorock after the show... what a boss. Still it would've been nice of him to share.

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Lemonade (John Roman Remix)
Boys Noize - Kontact Me (John Roman Remix)
These two remixes of Boys Noize are insane. "Kontact Me" being my favorite hands down. I suggest you also peep the remix BeatauCue has done of "Kontact Me" here.

The reason for so many new tracks in the past few weeks is that John Roman is finally coming out of "Reclusion". After an exceptional start to his music career in 2009 with 26 originals and remixes, 2010 is bound to be another outstanding year for this Canadian.
