Bringing together a new version to ‘Maria Maria’, taking it into the realms of afro-house, the most buzzing corner of dance music to be in right now.

GORDO has commented “This release has been a long time coming.. “Maria Maria” has been a part of my sets for a while now, and it’s become one of those tracks that truly reflects my vibe and connects with the crowd. TECH IT DEEP and I go way back; he’s one of my oldest friends, so this collaboration felt like it was meant to happen. I can’t wait for everyone to experience it the way I do.”
