Booking: go@maumaioli.page Releases on @discohalal @coredotworld @concretasala @melopeerecords @young-society-records @prototypemusicrec @dalzochiomusic @warungrecordings Co-founder @beat-on-me co-owner on Levels Rec, resident @levelssunset A&R @heelsoflove On dance floors and in the studio, Mau Maioli is more than a DJ and producer—he’s a sound architect whose foundations are deeply rooted in post-punk, indie and synthwave. His work pays tribute to that culture, fusing the essence of the ’80s and ’90s with a contemporary touch. From his earliest steps in music, Mau has been fascinated by crossing styles. Drawn to the melancholy of post-punk and the drive of synthwave, he found in indie and house the perfect vehicles to express his artistic vision. This blend not only defines his sound, it tells the story of how decades of musical innovation continue to shape new generations. His impact resonates in a community that mirrors his energy and commitment to artistic growth. As A&R for Heels of Love—the label led by Eli Iwasa and Pri Prestes—co-creator of Levels Rec, Synce and Beat On Me, and content creator for Levels, he plays a key role in discovering talent and elevating culture, further cementing his influence. Releases on respected imprints such as CORE Records (Tomorrowland, in collaboration with Eli Iwasa), Disco Halal, Concreta Sala, Warung Recordings, Melopee Records and Cardume Records testify to his regard for musical tradition while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. With support from artists like Solomun, Adam Ten, Rafael Cerato and Joyce Muniz, each track validates his vision and marks another step in his artistic journey. Every performance and production from Maioli reflects an innovative spirit that seeks to transcend expectations and refresh the musical landscape—staying true to his roots while paving the way for what’s next.ships, like Cris d., artist who he created Beat On Me with, also who has taught him how to mix when he was beginning. Mau started to create a true bond with people from Rio Grande do Sul and this was noticed by Levels, one of the biggest independent parties in southern Brazil. Resulting in another DJ residence. As a music producer, he started his experiments in 2014, but the turning point was in 2017, with his first release on the renowned Prisma Techno, reaching Top #56 on Beatport Techno chart with “Parallax”. The following year, “Fox", produced in collab with Cris d. and released on Dalzochio Music, it reached Top #1 on Beatport Deep House chart, even getting a 7" vinyl. Without a defined style so far, Mau was taking root as a Techno producer, but he was invited to reflect on whether this was really the path he should take. Gradually he was taken to the past and started drinking from sources from the 70s, 80s and 90s, evolving in music production and approaching what we know today as Indie Dance. This sound shift came to the fore in 2020 with some great releases, such as the single “Headway”, once again on Prisma Techno, “Showtime” EP on the German label Young Society Records, “90’s Bright” on the renowned Warung Recordings and “Scream Maker” on Prototype Music, getting a remix of a Brazilian icon and one of his great references: Renato Cohen. His self-taught profile and his affection for the artistic field led him to create About Different Levels Podcast, a music chat with several artists from Brazil that now has more than 10 episodes. Mau is also involved in the creation of Levels Records alongside the party's founders and, gradually, has been coloring his world in orange, a color that represents vitality, joy and creativity, characteristics present in his sound identity.
