mayo is described as a “dark horse”. An emerging talent, she has just released her debut EP on United Identities.

For many years she has worked behind the scenes, honing her craft and amassing knowledge which has lead to her status as a forward thinking, intricate selector. This mixtape is perhaps the best reflection of this commitment to her progression.

Titled “Sad Violin Music” – her debut EP features a strange and charming assortment of music which seems to touch upon a number of reference points. There are influences from new wave, EBM and techno. However, there is also a nod to the punk roots mayo identifies with following many years spent playing in bands.

mayo is a producer very much connected to the DIY undercurrent of underground music culture and this transition into a producer marks the next step in her musical journey which seems bound to reap her rewards.
