Reavis Mitchell

Reavis Mitchell in the lab at Soulbeat Productions, Nashville, TennesseeReavis (Rev) Mitchell once led a double life.

By day, he was a U.S. government computer scientist, helping to adapt Global Positioning Systems (GPS) from their original military applications to civilian uses. At night, his alter ego stalked stages and studios as an award-winning hip hop artist and producer, powering the pioneering Nashville hip hop quartet Utopia State, and developing explosive musical productions for a long list of clients like Sony Music, Coca-Cola,  McDonald’s, USA Networks and a bevy of major label and indie artists.

But eventually the music took over. Reavis, the scientist, went rogue, leaving government work behind to design the Beat Thang Mobile Music Production System, while Rev, the artist/producer, continues to break the sound barrier with his company, Soulbeat Productions, and an ever expanding client base. Now Reavis Mitchell, the Scientist/Producer/Artist, emerges from his secluded Nashville laboratory, exposing experimental new forms that extend the outer limits of hip hop, soul and funk music.

Nadir – Slave: The Remixtape (cd + digital)

Outstanding Electronic/Dance Recording 2008 Detroit Music Awards

“It’s a fantastic example of what remixers can do when given good material… If you’re into remixes, Nadir’s Slave: The Remixtape is a tour-de-force of remixing.” – Synthtopia

Slave: The Remixtape is a feature-length collection of lurid tracks that covers just about every genre of club and radio fare from Hip-hop to Rock, House to Techno. Soul-Patrol.com sums it up like this:

“This is a very unusual album from one of the most innovative, creative and passionate artists on today’s music scene. In fact it’s not even really an album. It’s really a single.

“Remember the movie ‘Do The Right Thing’ by Spike Lee? Remember the ‘soundtrack’? It only consisted of one song; Public Enemy – ‘Fight the Power’. One song, true indeed, but it was a powerful song, containing a powerful message which fully embodied the message that Spike Lee wanted the viewer to take away from the movie.

“On Slave: The RemixTape, Nadir takes an equally powerful song called ‘Slave’ from his award winning album called Distorted Soul 2.0 and remixes it in every imaginable musical style except for country and classical just to make certain that no matter what type of music fan you are, or what demographic sector you are in, that you feel comfortable listening to the message of ‘Slave’.

“It’s a song with a message that everyone needs to hear. Make sure that you take the time to listen to it in whatever musical style suits you best and then be sure to pass it along to someone else in the musical style that suits them best.”

[Nadir] has really developed a sound and style of his own and Distorted Soul 2.0 is very different from what I’ve heard in a long time and that’s what makes this album special.” – www.Jazz-not-jazz.com
