Haute CD Box Set

We are proud to announce that Bryan Ford’s gorgeous song, Here All Along feat Ava Fain will appear on the new double CD box set compilation from High Society/Universal Music Singapore entitled Haute. The box set will be available exclusively in the high-end Singapore-based retail chain, That CD Shop. Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, Jazzanova and RJD2 also appear on this beautiful compilation. We’ve heard great things about That CD Shop and High Society. Apparently every CD purchase from the High Society Collection comes with its own satin bag. The box set they sent us was amazing: it was a white glossy box with gold trim embossed with gold foil and made to look like the packaging of a designer fragrance. We’re proud to be apart of it!

If you’d like to purchase a copy you’ll need to make your way to Singapore. However, you can purchase our own amazing compilation that features Here All Along feat. Ava Fain right now from your computer. Click here to check out Revolutionary Music Presents Organica Lounge.

Here All Along by Bryan Ford featuring Ava Fain is out now!

jeremiah — Sun, 16 May 2010 04:27:11 +0000

Gritty, moody, bluesy and soulful are the words that have been used to describe Here All Along by Bryan Ford featuring Ava Fain. Bryan Ford, co-owner of Revolutionary Music, wrote and played every instrument on this gorgeous song (guitar, bass, slide guitar and drums). He also wrote the lyrics to which Ava Fain (Bumpus, Lake Street Project) lends her strong and passionate voice. A video is on the way.

K Ford aka Kevin Ford offers a solid peak-hour underground house mix of Here All Along. K Ford has remixed artists such as Nate James and Backseat Bingo in addition to writing original music for his many other projects like Elv8tor, Chicago Afrobeat Project, Acid O.G.s and VOLT MODZ.

Goulet, who has been performing live with Bryan Ford (as Bryan Ford & Goulet) dropped a white hot remix on us that stays downtempo but pushes the envelope with sick synth lines, a funky cut-up of the vocal over a beat that is reminisent of the ill hyphy clap that made us fall in love with Oakland.

We asked Sergio de Blanc of the infamous Champagne Brothers to give us something with pop appeal. He did just that. His rendition of Here All Along has that champagne drenched hip-hop sound that anyone who has every been to a Chamagne Brothers show has been craving ever since.

Bryan Ford himself rounds out the remixes with an uber funky eastern floor filler complete with tablas and a hot vocal cut up. This one is gonna get the party started – right….

Elev8tor at Darkroom Anniversary Party

Elev8tor headlines Darkroom 7 Year Anniversary Bash

Elev8tor is a band you are going to hear a lot about this year. They have multiple releases scheduled to drop in 2010 from Chicago’s Revolutionary Music imprint. This Friday they are headlining Darkroom’s 7 Year Anniversary party. Last Saturday, label mates Bryan Ford & Goulet rocked a full house at Darkroom. Odds are that this week will bring the same energy and then some due to it being the venue’s anniversary party. Don’t miss this show!

Kevin Ford, the keys player and band leader for the wildly popular nationally touring Afrobeat band – the Chicago Afrobeat Project, has done it again with his newest project – Elev8tor. This new project fuses electronic and organic music together creating everything from soul dub to disco to downtempo to nu jazz and beyond. Sam Sharp, drummer for J Davis Trio, anchors the heavy rhythms which are accented by ultra phat bass lines from bassist extraordinaire Olin Langley. Bryan Ford (Bryan Ford & Goulet), a revered multi-intrumentalist is the newest member of the ensemble – stepping in to play guitar. Kevin Ford plays an array of synths, organs and samples while Darcy Markham pulls it all together with her amazing voice.
