“Reclusion 2” is the second installment in John Roman’s infamous mix series of unreleased material. Although unlike the first, “Reclusion 2” features no remixes, no bootlegs and no edits – instead 8 new original tracks.
Inspired by, and a product of his solitary and obsessive work habit, the Reclusion series is an insight into Roman’s process and evolution as a producer. Sounds ranging from tribal to techno to UK funky to footwork, “Reclusion 2” is rarely ever one genre, but always unmistakably John Roman.
John Roman is a 23-year-old producer/DJ from Toronto, Canada. His breakout 2011 single “Sala” was a cross-genre anthem, sounding equally at home in Laidback Luke’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, or in Ben Westbeech/Breach’s guestmix on Roska’s Rinse FM show. In 2012, his unreleased tune “Petrified” turned into one of the most sought-after club tracks of the year after appearing in Brodinski’s Fabriclive60 CD. Described as a “footwork siren” by Pitchfork and “an absolute techno monster” by Sinden, it’s a go-to floor weapon for DJs like Riton, Djedjotronic, and Harvard Bass.
Also a prolific remixer, Roman’s sound has been enlisted by the likes of Nouveau Yorican [Defected], Sinden [Grizzly], Crookers [Mad Decent], Sound of Stereo [Lektroluv], and many others.
His hotly-anticpated “Infrared” EP on Lektroluv Records comes out May 21st on digital and vinyl. All three tracks can be heard first on Reclusion 2.
