Timo Maas.
Aus: Hannover / D
Move's on: Perfecto Records.
Biographie: Heute bedarf es eigentlich keiner großen Erklärungezu Timo Maas. Timo's Produktionen und sein DJ Stil sind einzigartig. In einer Welt von stromlinienförmigen und gleichen DJ's, die alle den gleichen Sound auflegen der gerade Mode ist, steht Timo ziemlich alleine da. Er ist aber dickköpfig genug, um seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen, wie auch klug genug, es so durchzuziehen, dass man nur staunen kann.
Auf TTX gibt sich Timo mit seiner 12" Twin Town, in Zusammenarbeit mit Ian Wilkie, die Ehre.

Timo gets the balance of the understated underground just right" (Mixmag)
Producer and remixer of more than 85 productions in three years, including classics like Orinoko's 'Mama Konda' and his snarling snare-driven mix of 'Doom's Night' by Azzido Da Bass, prolific he may be, but creatively spent Timo Maas ain't.
Indeed if you've set foot inside a niterie recently, the chances are you'll have got down to one of Timo's percussive productions - as well as Hope Recordings and current label Perfecto, he's also recorded for Hooj Choons, FFRR and Bush.
It was Timo's residency at The Tunnel in Hamburg (1994-96), at the time one of the biggest clubs in Germany, that marked his breakthrough. Producing the "aggressive trance" record 'Die Herdplatte' with resident Gary D, the track won him universal acclaim, and led to his current involvement with Bristol-based Hope Recordings. Soon he was booked everywhere from 'Lakota' in Bristol to 'Energy Parade' in Switzerland and has since gone on to DJ everywhere from Germany's 'Love Parade' to London's 'Turnmills' and Chicago's 'Karma'.
Yet it was the genre-defining 'Mama Konda', recorded in 1997 at Time Tools Studios under the incarnation 'Orinoko', that caused the biggest stir in the dance fraternity. A standard in the boxes of every DJ from Morales to Sasha, 'Mama Konda' was a percussive floorslayer that cemented Timo's reputation as the hottest kid on the block, reaching the Top 20 in both UK and US club charts.
Every record since 'Mama Konda' has sold around 10,000 copies, from its sequel 'Vila Nova' to Bush releases like 'Eclipse' and 'Riding On A Storm', Meanwhile Timo's remixes have been garnering acclaim from all quarters, from his mixes of Lustral's 'Everytime' (Hooj) and Big Ron's 'Let The Freak' (Perfecto) to 'Dooms Night' by Azzido Da Bass - "The mix that pulls together all the different pigeonholes in the UK scene right now", according to one dance magazine.
In the next few weeks, Timo plays everywhere from Gatecrasher to Bagleys and Turnmills. New single 'Ubik' is out on 18th September through Perfecto. Though you can now stream 'Ubik' on iCrunch, you can also hear exclusively the first half of 'Music for the Maases' right here.
