Biografia
Jesse Maas explores the deeper side of house with a preference for spare, groove-led arrangements. Based in Amsterdam, the DJ and producer has released through LOCUS, Yoyaku, Solid Grooves and Shall Not Fade, with performances at venues including fabric and Shelter and festivals such as Awakenings and Amsterdam Open Air.
Collaboration is a recurring source of new ideas. Working with Litmus on an EP for Shall Not Fade introduced a more hands-on studio process, using drum machines, synthesizers and their own recorded vocals. Maas has described the sessions as relaxed jams, with experimentation replacing the pressure to finish a particular kind of track. He values a similar unpredictability in back-to-back DJ sets, where another selector can lead the music somewhere he would not have chosen alone.
