The pseudonym of Dutch producer Mark van der Schoot (32), Maduk first came to prominence via the YouTube channel Liquicity Drum & Bass  in 2011. Van der Schoot had started producing just a year before and had given his friend Maris Goudzwaard -- who ran Liquicity -- a copy of the track "Avalon" which was promptly uploaded. The liquid drum & bass sound was the perfect fit for the burgeoning channel and was released on their new label of the same name. 

Joining forces with Goudzwaard in 2013 to setup the label and their Amsterdam-based club nights, Van der Schoot continued to release on Liquicity and multiple other labels. With his brand of Drum & Bass becoming popular and winning both best newcomer DJ and Producer at the Drum&Bass Awards 2014 & 2015, Maduk released his debut album "Never Give Up” on U.K.-based label Hospital Records in 2016. 

The years after the album release Maduk focussed mainly on his label and events, Liquicity Festival now is one of the biggest Drum & Bass festivals in the world and the Liquicity community is steadily growing with sold out club shows all over Europe. Early 2019 Maduk announced to be back on the Liquicity roster and released his first new album single Go / Coming Down soon after. Later the singles Go Home (NCS), Colours / Still In Love [UKF10 x Liquicity], Company, Everytime, Back To Life, Go Back To The Jungle and Come Back To Me' followed, possibly all part of his second studio album. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi

I am a 24 Year old male Living in Melbourne Victoria.
I became interested in DJ'ing in early to mid 2009, in late 2010 I couldn't resist the itch to mix so I set out to purchase some equipment.
I spent some cash and got:
Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4
Apple MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2010)
Ultrasone DJ1Pro headphones
KRK Rokit RP8G2 Studio Monitors
I started getting the itch to mix when I met a local DJ who has helped me learn and progress as a new DJ/Artist. He has hammered and pushed me into good habits, and stomped on the bad as they popped up. He has taught me the basics and I've listened to and learned from him, as well as many other DJs, to pickup random techniques and tricks to make some smooth transitions between sweet beats.
I've seen him as a role model as he uses a 4 deck layout. This is rarely used here so I saw him as very a talented and experimental artist.
I play primarily Trance and Progressive genre's for their smooth flowing and melodic sounds. I do commonly find myself enjoying other genres such as Minimal, Tech House, Electro and Psy-Trance to mention a few.
I mix with Traktor Pro S4 - which will be soon upgraded to Traktor 2 Pro (early april 2011) - using primarily 2 decks occasionally 4 and sometimes the Sample Decks initially offered in Traktor Pro S4.
My Goal is to make some really nice, smooth flowing mixes mixed in key (this part comes after I learn the techniques etc..) and hopefully make it to some pubic gigs and even outdoor events if possible.
I hope you enjoy your stay/ride through the Trance and Progressive world with my sounds.
Enjoy
