Rituals of Mine just dropped an EP of remixes from her latest album, HYPE NOSTALGIA, and it’s got a full cast of exciting musicians reworking her songs. “HYPE NOSTALGIA (Remixes)” gives a fresh, and sometimes uptempo, undercurrent to her tracks.
One of the tracks is a remix by legendary artist Tune-Yards. The video for “Trauma (Tune-Yards)” remix is premiering on Mix Mag. Watch it here.
“During the first few months of quarantine, I took my girlfriend to the neighborhood I grew up in in South Sacramento with a camcorder that we borrowed from a friend. It’s a pretty desolate, raw part of town, especially the street I grew up on: 65th St. I’d always wanted to write a song about that street partly because so many things have happened to me there. I spent most of my childhood & teenage life there and have had so many insane hilarious and traumatic stories about growing up there. South Sacramento can be a difficult place to grow up in. There’s not a lot of success around you and a lot of folks never get out of the cycle of poverty and addiction that does exist there but there’s also such a beauty to the strength of the people who live there. Resilience thrives in that community and I definitely got it from living there. There’s also such a calmness on the streets and a humbleness that exists within the neighborhood. It’s just rows and rows of families living their lives, trying to get through the day. There’s nothing fancy about the area and it has not changed much in the last 20 years. I just wanted to create a simple video to document and honor the HUD home I grew up in at 5935 65th St.”

Out today is a sick new remix by Baltra of Rituals of Mine’s track ‘Come Around Me’ off her album HYPE NOSTALGIA. It transforms the emotionally churning, R&B into a more upbeat, dance version of itself. And lucky for you all… more remixes are on the way 😉
More about the track here: The original track is so emotionally encapsulating and stunning that I didn’t want to deviate too much from the feeling it gave me, but rather build upon it through percussion and additional soundscape-textures. It’s in the same key & tempo, but I guess I would consider the remix to be the “at-home” club version. – Baltra
