DAYIN DAYOUT's Event reviewed by Rowan Wright of CKUT's Bursting The Bubble morning show

Maus was raised on jazz and disco in beautiful Montreal, Quebec. She's been a key player in the Montreal scene since the late 90’s, shaking up minds and dance floors with her unique and creative approach to electronic music. Exploring many levels of House and Techno, she was entitled Montreal’s Drum and Bass Queen by the local press in 1999. Her signature style is deep with a rolling groove and a funky touch that gets everyone up and moving on the dance floor. 

Maus did her first European tour in 2000, promoting  Intersections (Haute-Couture Records, Canada) her debut mixed CD. Critically-acclaimed by international music press such as XLR8R, Coda and Urb magazine, (who ranked Maus on the “Next 100” list), her cutting edge selection of Drum & Bass got her booked at festivals like Sonar (Barcelona), Francofolies (Larochelle) renowned clubs such as Paris’s Batofar, Nouveau Casino and l’OPA, Lisbon’s own Lux,  and citie such as Prague, Budapest, Vienna..::and out she was. 

On this first tour, Maus signed a 2 year contract with La Sala del Cel (Girona, Spain) where she started digging deeper in the techno sounds. Her relentless passion to explore and reinvent herself only helped broaden her horizons and saw her walk away from the rather limited drum & bass scene. In 2002, as one of Montreal’s Cream festival headliners, she was commissioned to mix Cream '03 (YUL Records, Montreal), a compilation that also showcased her new approach to electronic dance music. From that year forward, her sound evolved to clubbier Techno and House, exposing her disco and soul-influences.
﻿
In 2002, Maus started producing her own music, signing her first remix in 2004 for legendary cold-wave band Trisomie 21 (The Man is a Mix, Chromo Music, France). In 2008, Maus connected with Thoughtless Music’s owner, Noah Pred for some feedback on her latest tracks. A few months later, Pred would release her debut EP Let Go, followed by the inclusion of La Surprise on Thoughtless Times V3. 

After a long break from regular studio work, Maus went back to her roots, exploring dub sounds through deep house tracks, releasing Story Tailors feat. Doba on Argentinian label, Eat More Beef, in the summer of 2012. She also included some of her productions on her mixed CD, Chez Nous v4, released by Montreal’s elite Mile End Records in february 2013.

On December 2015, she boxed her most precious things and left Montreal to see what latin America had to share. Based in Playa del Carmen Mexico for a year,  Maus launched her Montreal born monthly, Danse Contact, at renown club La Santanera. Toured central America for a bit and cut her journey short to return to family matters. Which was, after all, the best decision of her life...

﻿
Maus has been a resident DJ at arguably the best club in North America, Montreal’s Stereo Nightclub and hosted several nights, including her monthly, Danse Contact, at local Club Salon Daome. Over the years, she held residencies at infamous after hours clubs such as Sona, Aria and others. She's also had the pleasure of playing many of Montreal’s top music festivals, including Igloofest, Montréal en Lumières, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Les Francofolies, among others. Maus has also been a fixture at Piknic Electronik since their very first edition, returning to headline at their 10th and 15th anniversary.

Maus travelled the globe to share her music in countries like China (Expo 2010), Australia, France, Spain, Germany, England, Hungaria, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Mexico, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, USA. Today, she continues to spread the love through her consistent and dynamic approach to electronic dance music. Join MAUS at one of her Danse Contact solid House night  in Montreal.
