Today marks a pivotal moment for melodic house fans as Belgian powerhouse MAXI MERAKI unveils his official remix of Monolink’s “In My Place,” out now via the prestigious Embassy One. The original track, a standout from Monolink’s third studio album The Beauty Of It All (released September 2024), was celebrated for its raw, analog warmth—born from a spontaneous one-take synth jam. In this new iteration, MAXI MERAKI masterfully preserves that emotional vulnerability while recalibrating the energy for the early hours of a club set. Meraki’s remix injects the track with a refined sense of motion. By layering rolling percussion and dynamic bass textures beneath Monolink’s pensive, “Teutonic” vocals, he creates a wide sonic horizon that feels both intimate and expansive. It is a production that balances the “trippy relaxation” Monolink is known for with the high-octane energy required for the world’s biggest stages Berlin-based Steffen Linck, better known as Monolink, has redefined the boundaries between singer-songwriter traditions and electronic music. Often described as a “live act” rather than a traditional DJ, his performances are narrative-driven journeys featuring live guitar and vocals. Since his breakout debut Amniotic (2018), Monolink has been a fixture at festivals like Burning Man and Coachella, blending the folk-inspired lyricism of Leonard Cohen with the driving rhythms of melodic techno. Following the success of his 2024 album The Beauty Of It All, he is set to embark on an ambitious North American Tour in early 2026, bringing his new, custom-designed live show to iconic venues like the Brooklyn Paramount and The Wiltern. Hailing from Antwerp, Belgium, MAXI MERAKI has seen a meteoric rise since his debut in 2019. His name is derived from the Greek word meraki, which signifies doing something with total soul, creativity, and love—an ethos that shines through in his “bright-toned” melodic productions. Now signed to the legendary Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Meraki has become a favorite of industry heavyweights including Jamie Jones, Keinemusik, and RÜFÜS DU SOL. With over 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a string of successful releases on labels like Artbat’s Upperground and Ultra Records, he continues to solidify his place as a leading voice in the global house scene.Monolink – ‘In My Place’ (MAXI MERAKI Remix)
