Ilona Maras & Sanja feat Sutja Gutierrez 'Existe' (Get Physical Music)
Montenegro native Ilona Maras’s ‘Existe’ was one of the standout tracks on the ‘Full Body Workout Volume 18’ compilation released by Get Physical back in April 2016, so we’re chuffed to see it get a full remix release here: it has a warm, organic groove that envelopes you before the dark tones move in. Bryan Kessler’s remix, meanwile, introduces a dirty bassline that helps transform the original into a memorable peak-time cut, and its stripped-back breakdown will make for dancefloor devastation as it slides back in.
