Part 3 and the last for now of our Tape Sessions series - this one is a reinterpretation of Flying Lotus "Tea Leaf Dancers" from his Reset EP. A more acoustic and improvised flip on a modern classic. For the heads who know. Thanks FlyLo for all the years of inspiration - you forever changed the game and for that we will always be grateful.

Chino De Villa - Drums

re.verse is a forward thinking unit of Toronto-based multi-instrumentalists, composers and DIY producers whose collective sound and vision lies at the intersection of beat culture, modern jazz, soul, and a variety of urban music genres both classic and contemporary. All of this is manifested in their original compositions, as well as their notoriously immersive, seamless DJ style performances which have recently been captivating audiences and making waves in both Canada’s urban music and jazz scenes.
At the core of re.verse is a simple yet strikingly effective trio with a surprisingly large sound, and a symbiosis that can only develop from playing hundreds of gigs together, week after week for several years. On 6-string electric bass, synths, production and engineering is Damian Matthew aka @Lnguage, who is accompanied by a versatile and masterful rhythm section comprised of Chino De Villa on drums and @Robb Cappelletto on guitars. re.verse is also known for their collaborations, session work and co-production with fellow Canadian wave makers A Tribe Called Red, Skratch Bastid, Shad, Hifilo, Tanika Charles and more.
Keep your ears locked on re.verse as they expand to an international audience and evolve their sound, with original music that merges their influences, connects dots and explores new pathways, always keeping the groove locked and the vibrations high.
