Premiere: Maps – Lack of Sleep (Pye Corner Audio remix)

Music

The lack of sleep was taking its toll on her. She tossed and turned in bed, trying to find a comfortable position, but nothing seemed to work.

It was only when she remembered Pye Corner Audio that she’d discovered earlier that day that she found some relief.

As she listened to the counter-melodies she closed her eyes and imagined herself in a different place. A place where she could escape from her restless mind and find some peace. She thought of Maps and the places she had never been to, places that only existed in her imagination.

The music was like a Mute button that silenced the noise of the world around her. It was just her and the soundscapes. She felt her mind slowing down, and her body relaxing. Finally, she fell asleep, carried away by the music to a dreamland of her own creation.

The next morning, she woke up feeling refreshed and energized. She realized that music was the key to her peaceful state of mind. From that day on, she made it a habit to listen to music every night before going to bed. It was her own personal map to a good night’s sleep.

Two ace Maps remixes lifted from his excellent Counter Melodies LP. One from our very own GLOK and the second from the most excellent Pye Corner Audio which we’re premiering here.

“Since I heard PCA’s album ‘Sleep Games’ in 2012 I was instantly hooked by the sound Martin Jenkins created, and have followed his incredible career ever since. For me, his sound is a beautiful mixture of the nostalgic and dystopian, pushing sonic boundaries with every release. The world of Pye Corner Audio is a warm yet brooding place to completely lose yourself in. It has always been a dream of mine to work with Pye Corner Audio so it was incredible to get that opportunity!”
