Experimental Irish Electronic musician Jape is next in line for Badlands‘ remix project, where she’s asked friends and sources of inspiration to take on a track each off her new album. That means a journey through many genres.
The remixes will be released over the course of the year. The first to arrive was Art Feynman, followed by Odd Nosdam. Now Jape’s genre-bending interpretation of the LP’s lead track “My Time Will Come Again” has arrived. The remixes will be gathered in a compilation by the end of the year.
Badlands comments:
This remix project is my way of bringing some of my favorite independent, primarily electronic, music makers together in a bouquet of Badlands interpretations. I’ve purposely asked people with widely different and distinct sounds. People that inspire me.
Swedish producer, composer and sound designer Catharina Jaunviksna has been operating under the pseudonym of Badlands on and off since 2011, stretching from Post-Punk and Shoegaze, to Electro and gritty Techno. Jaunviksna is also a touring musician with bands like The Radio Dept, and the founder of electronic label & music platform RITE from where she also makes original music for film and theater, transboundary arts and documentaries, and mix- and remix work for other labels and artists.
On new album Call to Love (a follow-up to 2021’s Djinn) she explores “the brutality of love” through analog electronics, sampling and organic orchestration.
