British-Nigerian afrobeats star Maulo links up with Zed Bias for the Amapiano club remix of his hit track 'Roll It'.
The amapiano club remix follows the success of the original version which saw support from Radio 1 Jack Saunders, Kiss FM, Notion Magazine,Wonderland & was soundtracked by the BBC during their coverage of Poland v Mexico at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The original track produced by UK garage legend Specialist Moss, has taken a new shape as Zed Bias captivates listeners with Amapiano infused synths, whistles and basslines. Zed Bias is no stranger to experimenting in genre’s, blending his Garage & Dubstep influences into this Amapiano remix with a strong hint of UK Funky. The remix has already been going down well in clubs across Zed’s recent tour of Asia.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the original version of ‘Roll It’, Maulo says: “The dance culture in afrobeats was the main inspiration behind ‘Roll It’, I remember spending hours and hours on TikTok watching dancers dance to different songs, and their choreography brought these songs further to life.
“They inspired me to want to make something that represented me, my style, and my sound, which I could share with the dance community, and I hope people love it when they hear it. Also, when you listen to ‘Roll It’ compared to my previous records, I hope you can hear the evolution in my sound as well”.
With millions of online plays already under his belt, and support from tastemakers across the music industry, Maulo is coming into his own as one of the most exciting new voices of afrobeats coming out of the UK. The London artist of Nigerian heritage draws inspiration from afrobeats legends like Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido, and leans into his penchant for fusing the classic pan-african sounds he has grown up on, with contemporary UK black music to create an infectious afrobeats sound that is quintessentially Maulo.
For many fans, their first exposure of Maulo would have been when they heard his previous single ‘Ambition’ as the ring walk song that British boxing sensation Anthony Joshua – Maulo’s cousin – walked out to, in front of over 60,000 people, before his first fight with Oleksandr Usyk last September. That song, which the fast-rising UK afrobeats artist created in collaboration with Under Armour, charted at #3 on Shazam across the world, has gone on to be played over half a million times online.
