Get Familiar: Mayo
Amsterdam’s rising dark horse / talented misfit / rising talent mayo presents her debut EP for United Identities. “Sad Violin Music'' holds three dirty jams, driven by her self-built modular synth. mayo created opener “Dystopian Dialect” during the slow winter of 2020. It became a hypnotising slugger that builds upon her sound experimentations. As the title “Aura Phase” already implies, this pounding, but disorienting phaser will transform any dancefloor into a vortex. Where punk attitude meets punk aesthetic, “Human Engineering” clearly showcases mayo’s history playing in bands. On the eve of mayo's upcoming release, we knew it was time to get familiar and find out where she has been and where she is going.
How did music first enter your life and what music memories do you have from your childhood? 
Congratulations on the release on United Identities. How did it come about? Carista and I were on the road to join a mutual friend that was playing at Future Intel in The Hague. We had a chat about music and she asked me to send over some tracks. Something I was quite hesitant or maybe insecure about so it took at least a couple of months before I came through - but from that moment on working with her is 1000% smooth sailing.
