Mayo

Amsterdam-based artist Mayo charts a distinct course through electronic music, drawn to a sound she defines as Goth House. 

Weaving together the shadowy atmospheres and melancholic melodies found in the deeper crates of electronic music, with her own sinister drum programming, she has made the style her own. This unique sonic identity is recently showcased with a much-anticipated vinyl-only EP on the Berlin-based Off The Grid imprint.

Mayo's unapologetic approach is not just confined to the studio; it is a global force. A fixture in Amsterdam's vibrant underground, shefrequentlyplays at local strongholds like Garage Noord, Radion, and tilla tec. Her sound has taken her across the globe, captivating dancefloors from the legendary basement of Tresor in Berlin to revered clubs in Asia like Hong Kong's Mihn and Taipei's Pawnshop, and Mexico City's YUYU. This international presence is built on a foundation of acclaimed releases on labels such as Carista’s United Identities, Fides, anda haunting remix on Berlin's R.I.O.

Atruemulti-instrumentalist, Mayo channels a lifetime of diverse influences—from punk and metal to hip-hop—into her hardware-centric live shows. Commanding drum machines, synths, and her own vocals, she has graced iconic stages including Berlin Atonal, Dekmantel, and De School. Her recent collaborative project "A Spiral Walk" on Coloray's Intercept further demonstrated her ability to merge heavy, gloomy beats with compelling pop sensibilities.

As one of the few women championing this darker, alternative side of house music, Mayo brings a vital and authentic perspective to the sound. With the upcoming Klasse Wrecks release, she continues to carve out her niche, pushing the boundaries of house and techno into more immersive and evocative territories.
