Electronic producer mayari. reimagines Kerala's "Escapism" in a breakbeat fashion.

LA-based singer-songwriter and producer artemis orion dropped this energizing track under her new moniker mayari., meant to approach dance music through gritty textures, post-futuristic atmospheres, and surreal soundscapes. The multi-talented artist breathes life into her compositions by exploring the expansive depths of the underground, using her music as a tool to bring light into the world around us.

With her remix of "Escapism" she shakes things up a little, transforming the track into a dynamic mood-booster, for which she says:

The original track had a sense of adventure as if you were walking through the forest, discovering a magical view, or perhaps on a mountain or plane admiring the world below you. It felt light, optimistic,  enlightening even. It had a sense of discovery to it. I wanted to keep those same colors, but add an additional sense of adventure—the thrill of adventure as if you were flying through that forest or jumping off that mountain or plane headfirst.
