Ilona Maras and Sanja’s “Existe” Is a Sublime, Sojourning Wonder

“I tried to create a moving, percussive, leisurely journey,” says Ilona Maras about her latest single on Berlin powerhouse Get Physical. “Sutja’s subtle vocals (in Spanish) elevated it to a new level where I introduced a dark bassline; it’s my favorite moment. Overall, I wanted some smooth, seductive fun, yet emotional and darkish in a simple way.”

Maras’ result on “Existe” is sublime. The Montenegro native joins forces with Sanja and silky-smooth singer Jesus Gutierrez, aka Sutja Gutierrez, to deliver a beautiful, organic groove punctuated with warm, pumping dub chords. Dive into its gravelly elegance below—and be sure to catch her tomorrow night at Zurich’s OFB and November 10 at Abu Dhabi’s Audio Tonic Elements.
