Teamfight Tactics: Remix Rumble announces collaboration with Steve Aoki
Riot Games has announced another major music collaboration.
Announced today, Steve Aoki has delivered a special remix of music featured in Teamfight Tactics to promote the forthcoming Remix Rumble update. An official music video for the remix can be seen below. The Steve Aoki remix can be pre-saved here.
Kole Hicks, composer at Riot Games said this about the collaboration:
“The way we worked with Steve on the music for this video piece was pretty interesting. Initially I sent over stems for two songs in four of our different styles; Classical, Jazz, Metal, and Hip Hop. From that, Steve picked a few elements that resonated with him and he built the remix, which was based on the overall concept of having those different musical styles weave together, but still also sound great as a standalone remix track. Then from that remix I took Steve's stems and built, edited, and added a few additional elements to create a custom music track that would work with our video. So, specifically for the cinematic, Steve's remix utilizes our in-game music as a core through-line and then I used Steve's remix as a foundation for our video."
A synopsis for the Remix Rumble update reads:
In game, each character represents a corresponding musical genre, and placing them on the battlefield adds surprising new elements to the ever-evolving soundtrack. Players can recruit Champions within a single genre, creating the jazz, metal, emo, disco, country, or other supergroup of their dreams – with gameplay synergies to match. Or they can recruit their favorite rosters and experiment genre-bending mixes that pull from a variety of disparate genres.
Aside from the remix, Aoki also worked alongside Riot Games for the two new in-game cosmetics: Scratch the Little Legend and a “Get Caked” Boom. A Dim Mak x Teamfight Tactics: Remix Rumble Collection will also players to showcase their Teamfight Tactics love via limited-edition apparel.
The Remix Rumble update will go live on PC and mobile on November 21.
