MAPS, aka composer and producer James Chapman, will release the latest in a series of remix EPs tomorrow. Listen to retro-futurist innovator
TVAM’s reworking of
“Just Reflecting,” here.
Talking about the mix, Chapman explains that TVAM (aka Joe Oxley) “
has brought his bold and uncompromising production to the track - lush distortion and vintage synths, mixed with uplifting chord progressions and pounding drums. It’s a euphoric piece of work.”
EP3. Colours. Remixed. Time. Loss., the penultimate release in the series, is out
July 17 on Mute and features
Barry Adamson’s remix of “Howl Around” and
Mark Peters’s remix of “Surveil” in addition to the TVAM remix.
Additionally, the fourth and final EP – which promises remixes from
GLOK (Andy Bell of Ride) and
Simon Fisher Turner – will be released
August 21. On the same date, a limited edition 12-track cassette will be available. Pre-order
here.

MORE ABOUT COLOURS. REMIXED. TIME. LOSS.
The remix EP series, which launched earlier this year, has so far included reworks and remixes by
Stephen Morris, Russian Linesman, Polly Scattergood, C Duncan and
A Certain Ratio of tracks taken from Chapman’s latest album,
Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss. (2019, Mute). The acclaimed album, his most ambitious to date, saw the Northampton-based Mercury Prize-nominated artist working with Echo Collective, the renowned Brussels ensemble. In 2019, Chapman embarked on a series of performances that included a sold-out show at the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room in London.
Chapman expands on the remix series saying, “Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss
is very dense and wide-ranging in its use of sounds, and there are so many sonic elements which create the final mixes, so I decided it would be a great idea to open up that palette to some of my favorite artists for them to create remixes of their own. I am very fortunate to have so many brilliant artists involved in this project - some of my childhood (and adulthood!) heroes, as well as artists I have collaborated with before.” He continues,
“It has really been amazing for me to hear remixes by artists I love and will continue to collaborate with. I have felt a sense of togetherness in the curating of this project - most welcome in these strange and challenging times.”
