UK born, New Zealand based Maxwell Monika, known for his expressive drum and bass on noted labels such as Shogun Audio, Spearhead Records and Fokuz Recordings, is today releasing his highly anticipated single Dream Sequence, featuring a collaboration with Indonesian-New Zealand singer-songwriter Julia Jewels, who elevates the track to anthemic proportions.

Scheduled for release 26th January 2024, Dream Sequence showcases Monika’s ability to flit between heavy stepper sounds and melodic moods, taking influence from the expansive underground UK and New Zealand club scenes.

After watching Julia Jewels perform in Christchurch, and finding out they lived in the same port-town of Lyttelton, the collaboration between the two artists flowed naturally, with Julia giving the track the aggressive edge that Monika was looking for.

Following the single release, Monika and Julia Jewels will unveil their music video, created with the support of New Zealand On Air Single Funding scheme. Produced and directed in collaboration with Michael Duggan from Offline Collective Media and with cinematography from Matt Clode from Below NZ, Monika wished to celebrate the gorgeous landscape of Lyttelton, NZ, with an outstanding on-screen performance from Julia Jewels that seamlessly matches the energy of the track.

Dream Sequence will be available on all digital platforms and streaming sites from Friday 26th January 2024.
