Late May sees Resonance Records co-founder Max Chapman return to the imprint to drop his ‘Moving’ EP, whilst UK duo Late Replies join on remix duties.

With releases and remixes to date on the likes of Hot Creations, Sola, Relief, Elrow and Repopulate Mars, Max Chapman’s rise as one of the genre’s leading names has seen the UK DJ and producer go on to make notable appearances at some of the world’s leading establishments and festivals, including DC-10, Amnesia and Hï (Ibiza), fabric (London) and Sound (Los Angeles) in the last year alone. Following on from the label’s recent Beatport #1 ‘Start The Party’ courtesy of fellow co-founder George Smeddles, here we see Chapman also step out on home turf in fine form to deliver his latest EP ‘Moving’, with rising UK duo Late Replies returning to the label following their 2017 collaboration ‘Wassoulou’.

Title track ‘Moving’ opens the package as Chapman opts for a slick blend of rolling percussion arrangements, infectious vocal hooks and snaking sub bass, whilst ‘Trust Me’ keeps the focus on crisp organic percussion and hefty kicks to form a bubbling groove. Last up, Late Replies’ remix of ‘Trust Me’ welcomes skipping hats and swirling synths to close the EP in style.
