Antorcha Remixes by Dementira

Santiago-based Dj and procuder Dementira presents a remix volume from his Antorcha EP alongside a number of local electronic music talents.

In 2022, Dj and producer Dementira (Ariel Altamirano) released, through Discos Pegaos, Antorcha EP, a work inspired by different kinds of violence, with an emphasis on electronic beats and latin character. After advancing “Caos y Fuego” remix, by DJ Raff featuring vocals by Argentine singer-songwriter Joyaz, the musician adds five new versions with the aim of covering different forms of electronic production and beats.

This time Dementira turns to prominent artists like the Chilean Mexico-based Imaabs, who intensely reinterprets “Cuicos”, while Maga does the same with “Autodefensa” bringing it closer to the dance floor. DJ and producer, Antioch (who often accompanies rapper Jonas Sanche live), adds doses of house and hip-hop to “Atrapao.”

Completing the list are DJ/Producer Vaskular, who transforms “El Melocoton”, one of the EP’s most emblematic tracks, into an intricate electronic puzzle. And Ripio, the project by musician and producer Martin Perez Roa (Merci Merci, Chica Rica), who gives an emotional twist to the song “Corazón negro de piedra”.

“I wanted to give the EP a second turn, although it has this idea around violence, musically it also aims to the latin/hip hop club format. I didn’t want to lose that electronic side of the tracks, it was to be able to have a second read based on that language. Besides, for sometime I’ve been haunted by the idea of working with friends that I admire and respect a lot”, Dementira explains about Antorcha remixes, his first remix EP, available now in all digital platforms.
