Maze has just released her second EP, a new record via the longstanding Permanent Vacation label. Her musical outlook is broad, her DJ sets tend to sit within the realm of House but have been known to extend into deeper, more progressive sounds when the mood is right.

She isn’t focussed on euphoric drops or massive moments and is far more interested in telling a tale which will soundtrack an evening spent on the dancefloor or in the darker corner of a club with a friend or two.

This mix demonstrates a well rounded understanding of the fundamentals of House music – pairing the more intrinsically head down experiences alongside highs and emotional release via the rise in tempo and sound.

For her it’s in “those subtle moments when everything comes together that you really remember.”

We reckon you’ll like this.

Maze: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

As a native New Yorker, the spirit of the underground is in Mike’s blood. Both in the studio and behind the decks.
Mike is highly adept with refined technique and innate style. His captivating raw blend of deep moods and warm melodies is devoid of gimmicks, allowing a truthful emergence of soul connecting sounds that elevates and unites the room creating unforgettable vibe high experiences. 

Terra cofounded the now defunct Good Company Records and more recently can be found putting out some serious heat on Depths of My Soul records out of Berlin.

Over the last decade, he has created an arsenal of self-produced original music that has sustained and grown a loyal following for his highly respected NYC parties: Keep it Movin’, Strange Love, Movin Roots and Grounded.
Mike’s strong reputation as a mood maker and master selector has given him the opportunity to showcase his talent at renown clubs
Stereo (Montreal), Output (NY), Cielo (NY), Club Love (NY), Comfort Zone (Toronto) Heidegluhen (Berlin) & Sisyphos (Berlin).
