Maze releases a new EP, ‘Morning Magic’ on Permanent Vacation.On the back of a prodigious summer of DJ sets – from Body Movements and Panorama Bar, to Glastonbury’s Block9 – the Berlin-based DJ and producer returns to the hallowed halls of Permanent Vacation with a new EP of grounding house gems.
‘Morning Magic’ roves from loopy prog and dub, to Chicago-imbued house across four new original cuts, plus a bonus ‘Trip Dazed Mix’ from London duo The Trip.
The title track lurks in the project’s groovier margins, layering twinkling keys and xylophone trills beneath a jacking house beat.
Maze has honed her dialled-in approach on sober dancefloors at parties like Berlin’s Dose of Pleasure and Pyramid. “It’s not about being sober, but about making a deeper connection,” she says. “When I come and DJ at these parties, everyone is super present—people are at one with their bodies and minds—and you’re present with them.”
Elaborating on the new project, Maze added: “This release is poignant to me right now because it’s all about subtlety… In a world where the trend is high-impact. Like, you have to lock in, but when you do, it’s magic. Whoever said you can connect with the universe in 30 seconds, anyway?”
