Maximoto music

Maximoto sets + podcasts

The latest addition to our semi-regular podcast series is by fresh-faced Utrecht artist Maximoto, also known als producer, DJ, and nightlife promoter https://soundcloud.com/maximotodj. Maximoto can be seen as Rochat’s retro-tinged house project. There’s an EP incoming on our sister sublabel OOSSHA, and Maximoto will make his first appearance this Saturday at the SoHaSo takeover of the 2nd room at Utrecht’s club WAS. 

For this first sign of life, Maximoto crafts an exquisite mix of late 80s inspired house, acid touches, and big melodies. Some heavy hitters (Massimiliano Pagliara! Sterac!) make an appearance, but the overall feel comes closer to NY house icons Dream 2 Science. All in all, an excellent introduction to this new addition to the SoHaSo family, with plenty more to come in the near future!

Does anything ever stays the same? Everything changes, even when it's not in motion.

Nevertheless, Maximoto from Utrecht puts our minds in motion with his philosophically titled EP To Remain The Same. The debut single is released on OOSSHA, our sister sublabel.

On To Remain The Same you can hear Utrecht based dj, producer and nightlife entrepreneur Maximoto is inspired by Italian disco, New York house and European new wave from the eighties. Just wait when the moody melodies kick in on mid tempo opener One Touch and you are in balearic heaven, with the perfect sunset just beyond the horizon.

Title track To Remain The Same is equally laid back, with a stunning bass synthesizer taking front stage, waiting for a delightful acid line to take over. Lauer displays his love for Depeche Mode with an ace remix. He turns One Touch into a sparkling disco groover that clearly pays tribute to Behind The Wheel, a big hit in the ninetees.

Closer Asking You To Wait is another play with words. Blissful beauty in slow motion. Imagine Saint Etienne in their best years, remixed by Andrew Weatherall. That kinda vibe.

Pretty essential, if you ask us.

Released on the @sohaso SOMEWHERE Summer '22 Compilation

Maximoto - Shifting Colours (master)

"This mix was recorded on three CDJ’s and a mixer on a cold december night in Utrecht.
I’d love to say that there’s a thought process behind this mix or that I’m taking you on a ✨journey✨, but to be completely honest; I’ve just selected a couple of records I thought would sound nice together and pressed the record button. However, the early part is a bit more dreamy for the occasion."

While prepping for an upcoming "poolside set" I remembered this recording I made during Wilde Weide last year. I was opening the pre-party on Thursday and decided to play some of my favourite sun-drenched balearic music to honour the few rays of sunlight that shone that weekend. Definitely a weekend to remember. Seeing it will be blazing hot the upcoming days I decided to put up an excerpt of this set. Enjoy! <3
