'Hopes & Fears album' 
anjunabeats.co/jwpgmz.GCN

Marcus Schössow and Thomas Sagstad have been planning, plotting and dreaming anamē for two decades. First coming together at a house party in Helsingborg, Sweden, the Swede and the Norwegian bonded over a shared love of artists (Sasha or early Tiësto), labels (Strictly Rhythm, Defected), ethics (“We both wanted to work hard for our dreams”) and ideas. As family life, academic studies, and new homes in different countries threatened to separate them, their old connection drew them back together.

In 2022, the anamē adventure began on Anjunabeats. The duo crafted an emotive collaboration with Above & Beyond and Marty Longstaff on ‘Gratitude’, worked with BLR and Robbie Rise on club anthem ‘Influencer’, and reworked a pair of classics in Lostep’s ‘Burma’, and ‘Tears From The Moon’ by Conjure One and Sinéad O’Connor. Most recently, the pair remixed Kyan’s ‘Lonely River’ alongside A&B’s Paavo Siljamäki in his P.O.S guise, collaborating again with Paavo on ‘Good People’ for his ‘Deeper Tales’ album.

Their debut album ‘Beautiful World’, featuring the singles ‘Anywhere (Road Trippin’), ‘Someone We Used To Love’ and ‘Must Be Dreaming’, released September 1 on Anjunabeats.

Hailing from Zurich, Switzerland, Sons of Maria is a prolific dance outfit that makes essential house music in many different styles from deep to tropical to driving to progressive and future house. The Swiss project first emerged in 2015 and since then has put out eight fascinating EPs. The labels they have worked with include disco:wax, Enormous Tunes and No Deifniton and their influences take in chill wave, downtempo and lush pop as well as club facing house grooves. Tracks like “Where You Want Me At” and “Love Is” have been streamed hundreds of thousands of times online as well as soundtracking clubs around the world.

Sons of Maria have also collaborated with the likes of Angelika Vee, Nadia Ali, Alok, Nora En Pure and have gave remixed The Golden Pony amongst others. From Miami Beach to Washington DC, World Club Dome in Frankfurt Germany to Johannesburg, this man and woman twosome have taken their fresh sets to many different places and always impress. Mixing up the old with the new, they have their own unique style which has made them one of the fastest rising pairs in the global scene. BBC Radio has played plenty of their tracks and their Tracy Chapman sampling “You & I” proved one of their biggest cuts. Right now they are in a fine run of form in the studio and the DJ booth and bring the heat to any party at which they play. The future, then, is just as bright as the recent past for this expressive musical partnership.
