Colorado-based electronic producer John Hastings, aka RUMTUM teamed up with his friend Brooklyn-based producer John Jagos, aka Brothertiger to release a new remix of “Escape Cape”.
The song appeared on RUMTUM's debut album “Isles in Indigo”, which was released back in January.
It was written and produced by John Hastings with production by John Hastings.
Brothertiger, a pioneer of the early '10s chillwave scene, has chosen “Escape Cape” - track 4 of the LP - and transformed it into a rich, textural piece. While the original focusses on rhythm and melody, Brothertiger's remix taps into and augments the lush ambience of the song. The drums lie higher in the mix, such that, despite the ethereal harmonies, the remix maintains a space-out danceability. RUMTUM's original melody still remains, but through a kaleidoscope of layered sounds: “Escape Cape” has become dreamscape.- RUMTUM is known as an acclaimed visual artist. Arriving after a slew of successful singles and EPs, the debut album “Isles In Indigo” both stays true to his established sound, and expands on the artistic vision; a luscious combination of aquatic ambient, lo-fi hip-hop, and mellow, melodic electronic, the record traverses the depths of the ocean to the outer reaches of the cosmos.
While, Brothertiger first made waves with his washed-out take on chillwave, alongside contemporaries like Toro y Moi and Teen Daze, albeit with a more electronic bent, and has 8 full lengths under the Brothertiger moniker. -
