This March, Dutch drum and bass connoisseur Maztek returns to his very own label, 0101 Music, with the whopping 28-track compilation The Blacklist Rewind Catalogue.

Showcasing a mixture of releases from his formative years – dating all the way back to 2012 – and previously unheard VIPs, the new LP serves as a timely primer to the Haarlem DJ/producer’s extensive musical arsenal.

Included in the package are every single one of his past drops on revered label Renegade Hardware, including 2013’s M Theory EP, the critically acclaimed debut album Three Point Zero (2014) and a tag-team remix of “Limber” from late legend Optiv and Brazilian powerhouse BTK, all of which have proven to be fan favourites over the years. With some of these having previously been absent from streaming services and primarily available on vinyl, both die-hard followers and newcomers alike are in for a treat.

First landing exclusively via Maztek’s Bandcamp back in December, this essential collectors’ item has since been fortified with an additional three brand-new VIPs: a slinking reinterpretation of the choppy 2013 neurofunk triumph “iMaz”; a gritty, stuttering overhaul of the 2012 Subculture signing “Up & Down”; and a snarling spin on one of his best-known hits, “From the Shadows”, which features vocal contributions from local hip-hop heavyweights Dope D.O.D.

With Maztek known today not only as a musician but also as a label boss and preeminent purveyor of high-quality D&B, it’s a timely opportunity to reflect on his musical journey up to now. The Blacklist Rewind Catalogue LP lands 15th March via digital vendors and streaming services.

Maztek - Odyssey

I dj’d in my 20’s during the iconic rave period, and returned to my passion about 8 years ago, I took this to a new level during lockdown when streaming took off. I’ve continue to stream for the likes of Skankout, Epidemik, Audio Chemistry, (UndergroundBass), Midnight Massacre & BreaksFm.  I have also played at Code Red Radio and Rough Tempo. This has given me opportunities to play out. I have played at festivals, clubs and private events. Mount Fest, Tropical Garden and Dubslingerz. I’ve also played at The Arch & Volks in Brighton as well as several club bars across the South Coast and now starting to get bookings further up the country. I’m known for my animated quick mixing, cutting, double drop style with 3 decks which produces a huge energy from the crowd.
