Ece Yilmaz, Toprak Baris, His&Hertz – Maze

Ece Yilmaz continues her rise as one of Türkiye’s most promising electronic artists, building on years of musical exploration that began with guitar and violin before shaping her signature blend of Afro House, House and Melodic Techno. Since launching her DJ career at 19, she has performed at top venues across the country, sharing the stage with international names such as Kitty Amor, Franc Fala, Lexer, Stephan Jolk, Chris IDH and Sasson. Alongside her DJ sets, Ece has steadily developed her production craft with releases on respected labels including Sudam, Rikodisco, Café De Anatolia, and of course her 2025 Get Physical debut ‘Postman’.

Her collaborator on this release, Toprak Baris, is an established Turkish DJ and producer whose career began at just 17. His performances span Türkiye and international stages, where he has played alongside Mount Rouge, WhoMadeWho, Stephan Jolk, Massano, Oostil, Chris IDH and Sparrow & Barbossa. As a producer, Toprak has delivered standout remixes such as his official version of Sparrow & Barbossa’s ‘Sen Gelmez Oldun’ on Sony Music’s sub-label, as well as the widely supported remix of Hande Yener’s hit ‘Kibir’. Together, Ece and Toprak now form their new joint project His&Hertz, marking an exciting new chapter.

Their new collaboration ‘Maze’ is a striking fusion of organic rhythm, modern electronic production, and bold vocal character. Built on a commanding Afro-inspired groove, the track instantly stands out with its autotuned male rap vocal, a hook that cuts through the mix and anchors the entire production. Around it, His&Hertz weave a dynamic landscape of synth lines, orchestral stabs, and evolving textures, giving ‘Maze’ a cinematic and high-impact feel.

The long, tension-building break introduces the centerpiece of the track: a simple, powerful synth theme that lifts the energy skyward and turns the groove into something festival-sized. When the beat drops back in, the full weight of the production comes together: Tight percussion, hypnotic vocal phrasing, and a melody built to leave a mark on both clubs and home speakers.

‘Maze’ is a bold and addictive release, showcasing the creative chemistry of His&Hertz and marking another strong milestone for both artists on Get Physical Music.
