GoGo Penguin’s GGP/RMX album is a captivating reimagining of tracks from their 2020 album GoGo Penguin. The band has partnered with a diverse range of artists to create remixes that transform their atmospheric jazz into something fresh and dynamic. The mix of electronic elements and organic instrumentation continues their exploration of boundary-pushing soundscapes.
The remixes vary from ambient to high-energy, offering a wide range of moods while staying true to the group’s minimalist roots. The inclusion of electronic producers adds a new dimension, bringing a driving pulse to tracks like Kora, which combines hypnotic beats with the original's delicate piano lines. It's a seamless blend of jazz and electronic genres.
What stands out in this album is the diversity of remixing styles. Artists such as GoGo Penguin’s own pianist Chris Illingworth, as well as notable figures like Manu Delago and Acid Pauli, bring their unique flavors to the table. Each remix adds a different texture, from ambient and soothing to punchy and experimental, maintaining an interesting listening experience throughout.
Ultimately, GGP/RMX delivers a fresh take on the band's original work. While it’s deeply rooted in jazz, the album shows how GoGo Penguin’s music can evolve and intersect with other genres. It's a rewarding listen for fans of the band and those who appreciate innovative fusions of jazz and electronic music.
