The Roc Project

The Roc Project is an electronica act composed of New York City-based DJ Ray Roc and, most often, vocalist Tina Novak. Their debut single, "Never (Past Tense)" was released in the fall of 2003. However, because of difficulty getting the song released due to Novak's and Roc's being signed to different record labels, Ray Roc decided to recruit Australian singer Tina Arena to sing Novak's vocals instead. Arena's version of the song was the version that ended up as the final single release.
