A true jungle soldier, Mz. Revolution has been spinning, throwing jams and running borders since 2000, bringing the wikkidest sound to the massive. Her current crate features the freshest in dubwize drum and bass, ragga jungle and ragga breaks. But regardless of the style across the reggae broken-beat spectrum, Mz. Revolution comes correct every time, dropping sets that are mixed both thematically and harmonically.
Rocking events from parties to festivals, graffiti jams to club nights and rock climbing competitions and protests, Mz. Rev currents represents one half of Konkrete Jungle Ottawa. Over the years she has held down other Ottawa residencies such as Chicks with Decks and Mixed Mafia. She was a main organizer of Ottawa's original graffiti art parties Beatz and Piecez and has made appearances at events hosted by Norml Clothing. No stranger to the airwaves, Mz. Revolution sometimes co-hosts the Warning on CKCU 93.1FM.
In addition to keeping the scene live in Ottawa, Mz. Rev has played across Canada from Whitehorse to Halifax and toured Europe each year since 2004, dropping tunes in the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Germany the Netherlands and Belgium. Extended jungle family with whom she has played include Krinjah, Marcus Visionary, DJ K, RCola, Survival Crew, General Malice, Playaman, Amadeus, Ladylite, Wasp, Dubconsious, Badpoint, Raggamuffin Whiteman, Ulan Bator Crew and Silvahfonk to name a few.
When she's not busy causing a rukkus somewhere, Mz. Rev can be found working at her job as a community energy planning researcher. Hold tight and be ready to flash up your lighters for the one Mz. Revolution!
