Out now via Embassy One, the Belgian producer delivers an emotive, club-driven reinterpretation of one of the defining tracks from Monolink’s latest album, “The Beauty Of It All”.
Following the critically acclaimed release of Monolink’s third studio album The Beauty Of It All back in September, Embassy One now unveils the latest chapter in the album’s evolution with MAXI MERAKI’s remix of “In My Place”. Putting his own inimitable spin on one of the tracks that helped define the album’s emotional tone and artistic direction, the Belgian producer’s interpretation of “In My Place” builds on the raw, spontaneous spirit of the original while guiding it into deeper, more club-ready territory.
The original track – rooted in an impromptu synth jam between Monolink and producer Toby Siebert – was largely captured in a one-take performance, radiating the unfiltered energy and analog warmth that have become signatures of Monolink’s artistry. Its pulsing rhythms, subdued vocals and warped central riff made it both a listener favourite and a defining moment in the unveiling of The Beauty Of It All.
In his remix, MAXI MERAKI channels that raw essence into a refined, atmospheric journey. With meticulous attention to groove and space, he deepens the track’s emotional pull while expanding its dancefloor potential. Rolling percussion, dynamic bass textures and powerful synths provide a new sense of lift and motion, allowing Monolink’s vocals to breathe within a wider sonic horizon. The result is a remix that feels both intimate and cinematic; faithful to the soul of the original while unmistakably stamped with MERAKI’s signature emotional resonance.
Driven by a desire to connect deeply through sound, MAXI MERAKI has firmly established himself as one of electronic music’s rising forces. His releases on labels including Abracadabra, Monaberry, Get Physical, Ultra Records, Artbat’s Upperground, Rose Avenue, Astralwerks, Radiate and Siamese have earned him chart success and widespread recognition. Supported by industry icons such as Jamie Jones, Keinemusik, Rüfüs Du Sol, Adriatique, Black Coffee, Solomun, &ME and Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, he continues to shape a global presence through his unique blend of melodic nuance and dancefloor energy.
MERAKI’s remix adds a compelling new dimension to The Beauty Of It All, an album praised for its introspective storytelling, sonic warmth and focus on emotional clarity. By reinterpreting “In My Place,” he extends the album’s world, inviting listeners deeper into its atmosphere while offering a fresh, contemporary angle on one of its most impactful songs.
