"Gold Splash" is a visual blast of underwater VHS voyages and saturated Synth outtakes. This track instantly transforms you into guiding a dive mission on the great barrier reef. There’s a playground of textural soundscapes and atmospheric pleasures inspired by reading offshore correspondence documents written by marine biologists in the 1970s.

"Gold Splash" " is the second single from RUMTUM's upcoming LP "Isles in Indigo". The album is the landing point where the story beginnings for musician and visual artist RUMTUM. While living in Hawaii and studying the coral reef around south Kona for two months, the LP was recorded on samplers and a Tascam tape deck. Returning to the mainland with only saturated rough drafts influenced this over-saturated lost island tape vibe. The recordings were finished at a mountain home in southern Colorado during the worldwide shutdown of COVID-19, it was an odd time to work on such an uplifting and mystical concept but allowed for escapism at its best.

Electronic producer and instrumental enthusiast John Hastings (aka RUMTUM) has a unique approach to crafting his melodic tunes. The Cleveland native offers a broad frequency, and whether it be his love for native spirits or sea life, the natural world plays a significant role in the dynamics of his writing. From a young age his obsession for mixers and knobs grew into a passion for recording with found objects and handmade instruments. And while learning drums provided the musical foundation to understand bass and guitar, a fascination with synthesizers and explorations into field recordings continues to inspire his craft.

Lipphead (production duo Blockhead and Eliot Lipp) return with a second block rocking single from their debut album 'In The Nude'.

The cheekily titled 'Don't Worry Be Horny' is a reference both to the vocal sample that introduces the track, and the prolific use of brass throughout this glorious clash of electro synths and classic funk stylings. These two producers specialize in creating playful instrumental hip-hop that traverses numerous musical territories. 

Illustrated by artist Maddison Chaffer - the titular Lipphead character is an integral feature of the project serving as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles. This talented triumvirate of musicians and artist combine perfectly to connect with their audience via quirky, smile-inducing sonics and visuals that could engage even the most hard nosed folk.

In their own words Lipphead explains further:

"I would say, with this album in general, it was both of us taking things we were working on that we liked but couldn’t find a home for. For us this was a very "there are no rules" type venture. We allowed ourselves to be silly and unconventional with all these songs. "Don’t Worry Be Horny" was a tip of the hat to Bobby McFerrin and born out of a somewhat goofy vocal sample. Part of the goal was to take something and turn it into something else entirely."

- Blockhead

"My favorite thing about the record is the audio cocktail that comes together when our two styles are blended. It’s refreshing to make music with such a loose process. We found ourselves focusing on our strengths, and trusting that our individual styles would complement each other.”

- Eliot Lipp

Don't Worry Be Horny

Throughout Loci's existence, we’ve built up a real treasure trove of catalogue and of course some musically rich audio stems from across the globe.
Teaming up with Flamingosis and Blockhead in advance of their North American tour together, we have opened up the vaults and let these two producers in for a very special crate dig.

Creating a sample pack by pulling clips, loops, hits, out of prior Loci Records releases a unique and exclusive sample pack was given to Flamingosis and to Blockhead and they each created a brand new song using only the samples in the pack.
