Head down, music pumping, the night is young and vibrant. Muffled yells fill the air as crescendos abound and whip people into a frenzy of shuffling and dancing. This is nirvana, these are the shared experiences we all know and love. He’d probably dismiss this as overblown but for Map.ache, these moments are all too common, a testament to his incredible ability to tap into emotion, convey energy, and hit that sweet spot of ear-worm like melodies and driving percussion.

With Map.ache in mind, we arrive at today’s very special premiere. One that is near and dear to many around the world, Map.ache’s remix of Gilles Wassermans’ Zona. Seeing the two names together on a release warms the heart, and even more so being on the lovely Oslated. Music is truly an exercise in family as it can’t quite get better than this. 

Building on the broken beats of the original, with wobbly bass lines taking the forefront, Map.ache has flipped Zona on its head and brought it charging back into the 4/4 realm. Bringing alongside a sprinkling of his signature percussion and slight melodic upticks towards the end. Truly a track that will get everyone dancing, head down, enjoying the moment.

The Map.ache remix of Zona will be out on the 28th of July via South Korean imprint Oslated, along with 6 other tracks as Gilles Wassermans’ release, ‘No Time Like The Present’
