M83 and Maps Remix Each Other on New Single
M83's sweeping synth sounds are like the audio equivalent of a moving landscape, so what better way to herald the release of new album Saturdays = Youth than with a sky-themed single?
Preceding Saturdays' arrival via Mute (April 15 in North America, April 14 everywhere else) is a split single with M83 and fellow skygazers Maps remixing each other's work. One side features the "M83 Mix" of Maps' "To the Sky" (from last year's We Can Create), while the other features the "Maps Mix" of M83's "We Own the Sky", a track from the new LP. The single is a limited edition 7" available online and at select UK independent stores on April 7 thanks to Sonic Cathedral.
Following its release, Anthony Gonzalez has plenty of M83 dates to worry about, so support for the single will fall to Maps' James Chapman. On April 30, Chapman will DJ for Sonic Cathedral at the Social in London. Also on the bill are Ulrich Schnauss, Airiel, and Autumn Chorus.
