About Timo Maas
Timo Maas is a German DJ and producer whose remix of Azzido da Bass's Dooms Night helped establish his international career in 2000. He bought his first turntables at 17 and played his earliest DJ set in 1982, spending the following years playing largely top-40 sets around Germany before entering the country's emerging rave scene in 1992. His debut record, The Final XS, arrived in 1995, and his first mix album, Music for the Maases Volume 1, compiled many of his early tracks and remixes.
A second mix album, Connected, followed for Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto imprint before Maas released his debut studio album, Loud, in 2002, produced by Martin Buttrich and featuring Kelis, Neneh Cherry and Placebo's Brian Molko. Maas has been a resident DJ at Ibiza's DC10 for more than fifteen years and has also played Ushuaia, The End, Twilo and Tresor. In 2008 he launched his own label, Rockets & Ponies, releasing artists including Ricardo Villalobos and Nightmares on Wax.
In 2016, Maas and producing partner James Teej received a Grammy nomination for their work on Paul McCartney and Wings' Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five, his second Grammy nomination.
