Maxi Meraki Adds Dark Late Night Weight to Monolink’s ‘In My Place’

Maxi Meraki

Maxi Meraki steps into remix territory with a focused reimagining of Monolink’s ‘In My Place’, reshaping the original into something deeper, heavier and more suited to late-night club environments.

Rather than stripping the track back, Maxi Meraki builds on its foundation. The intricate percussion of the original remains intact, but it is now framed by darker tonal choices, rolling low end and hypnotic layers that pull the energy inward. The groove feels more insistent, designed for long blends and sustained tension rather than melodic release.

There is a clear sense of control in the arrangement. Textures evolve slowly, locking dancers into a cycle of repetition, while subtle shifts keep the track moving forward. It is a remix that respects the emotional detail of the source material while confidently steering it toward a more driving, floor-focused direction.

This approach reflects Maxi Meraki’s wider trajectory. Driven by emotion and intention, he has steadily built a reputation for music that balances feeling with functionality. Releases on labels such as Abracadabra, Monaberry, Get Physical, Ultra Records, and Upperground have helped shape his sound and firmly position him within the global electronic landscape.

Support has followed from across the spectrum. Artists including Jamie Jones, Keinemusik, Rüfüs Du Sol, Adriatique, Black Coffee, Solomun, &ME and Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 have all backed his work, underlining the reach and consistency of his output.

This remix of ‘In My Place’ feels aligned with that momentum. It is not about reinvention for its own sake, but refinement. By leaning into darker energy and hypnotic movement, Maxi Meraki delivers a version that sits naturally in late-night sets, offering DJs a tool that carries emotional depth without losing physical impact.

As his profile continues to grow, this rework stands as another example of Maxi Meraki’s ability to translate emotion into motion, connecting original songwriting with the demands of the dancefloor through restraint, texture and intent.
