To celebratre the release of the 20th anniversary edition of Maya on Friday 28th February 2014, I am very happy to present this excellent remix by soundcloud.com/silinder

I came across his remix by accident, and liked it so much that we contacted him about releasing it via here. Thankfully he was more than happy to help, so please download this and share far and wide.

The anniversary  edition is a limited edition, CD only, 3 disc set featuring the original album plus a CD of alternate versions and a CD of remixes. We have only pressed 1455 copies, each one numbered, and once they are gone we will not repress any more.

Banco de Gaia - Heliopolis (Silinder Remix)

Mark Daly (AKA soundcloud.com/darklyam) and Olivier Arntz (AKA soundcloud.com/nozartmusic) have racked up over 100,000 Spotify streams and dented the Beatport charts with their solo dance music releases. They have now come together to form S.O.N.A.T.I.O.N., shifting temporarily away from the dancefloor to consider sounds for the sofa!

Dubjahvu, S.O.N.A.T.I.O.N.’s debut release, is a mesmerizing dub fuelled composition which serves as a prelude to an upcoming album, promising listeners an immersive journey into the depths of downtempo bliss. The laidback original is superbly complemented by a remix version crafted by Darkly A.M. that drifs into melodic house territory.

"This collaboration with nOzart has been a voyage into discovering uncharted sonic territories. Dubjahvu is just the beginning of our musical exploration together," shares Darkly A.M.

"Creating S.O.N.A.T.I.O.N. has been like discovering a new language of music. We invite you to join us on this auditory exploration," expresses nOzart.

Looking ahead, the band has exciting plans for subsequent releases. The second track, accompanied by a remix from nOzart, is slated for to follow on the heels of Dubjahvu’s release, promising a continued infusion of diverse musical influences.

Disco Gecko Recordings was set up in 1998 by Toby Marks of soundcloud.com/BancodeGaia. Originally an outlet for just his own music, it is now becoming home to a range of artists across various genres. Rather than cater to a particular style or subculture, the Disco Gecko ethos is to promote music with heart, integrity and depth. Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes contemplative, it is always music with beauty at its core.
