MAPS
SHARES NEW REMIX FROM
THE GO! TEAMTAKEN FROM HIS
NEW 4-TRACK EP RELEASEOUT 18 DECEMBER
MAPS, aka composer and producer James Chapman has shared The Go! Team’s remix of ‘Sleep Today’, taken from his forthcoming 4-track EP out on 18 December 2020.
Chapman chose to invite The Go! Team to remix his new track, in part to reflect the mood of the original version. He explains, “The Go! Team were the first people that came to mind because their music is so joyous. They’ve delivered an absolute classic of a remix, delving into the different parts of my song and creating something completely fresh, while also adding that signature ‘Go! Team’ sound. I love it.

The uplifting mood of the track and remix leads us perfectly into the new year, and both will be included on a new EP which also features a brand new remix of new track ‘Something New’ from The Other Two (Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert from New Order).’Sleep Today‘, was originally recorded during the making of his most recent album Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss.
Talking about the track, Chapman says, “Music has always been a therapy for me, and I definitely have an escapist mentality when creating and listening to songs. ‘Sleep Today’ is a song that always lifts my spirits when I listen to it, and that is the feeling I was trying to evoke when writing and recording the track.”The new EP follows a remix series that ran over the summer of 2020, Colours. Remixed. Time. Loss. which boasted a phenomenal line-up including Stephen Morris, TVAM, GLOK (aka Andy Bell from Ride), Russian Linesman, Barry Adamson, Polly Scattergood, C Duncan, Simon Fisher Turner, A Certain Ratio and more.Maps’ latest album,
Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss. is out now on Mute. His most ambitious to date, the album saw the Northampton-based Mercury Music-nominated artist working with Echo Collective and embark on a series of performances that included a sold-out show at the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room.
