Yet another in a long and illustrious line of Dutch producers and DJs, Mau P (formerly also known as Maurice West) makes gritty, bassy tech-house and EDM tracks. He shot to international stardom in 2022 with "Drugs from Amsterdam," and has continued releasing singles and remixes including 2024's "On Again."

Born Maurits Jan Westveen in 1996 to a family of musicians, he started making techno and house tracks and DJ'ing professionally when he turned 18, inspired by artists such as Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and Deadmau5. Released in August 2022 by Repopulate Records, his debut single "Drugs from Amsterdam" became a global phenomenon and immediately put him on the map. It was named Dance Song of the Year (Non-Radio) and House Song of the Year by the Electronic Music Dance Awards in 2023. He achieved a similar success with "Metro," a collaboration with Kevin de Vries hailed as one of the best dance tracks of 2023. Mau P's profile continued to rise with more hit singles ("Gimme That Bounce," "Your Mind Is Dirty," "Dress Code," "Beats for the Underground"), remixes for the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Armand Van Helden, and Calvin Harris, and headlining gigs at some of the world's most famous clubs and festivals. The more vocal-driven "On Again" appeared in 2024. ~ Mariano Prunes
