Test pressings came in yesterday. Looking forward to this one.
More vinyl is coming

Since it has been renewed and got the new design, i simply hate myspace. Changing stuff on myspace has become a living hell.
I’m not sure if I will delete my account or not but then again… you got to be anywhere as a DJ.

Lets think this over.

A while back (i think about a month now) I did my first live act ever. Ok, it was the first but hey… it was fun!

You can download it here.
Looking forward to your reactions!

Untold (Epic Depth Remix by Mr. Mau)

Feedback :

Steve Bicknell (Cosmic Records – UK)
Thank you very much. Untold pt2 has gone straight into my current Dj set. So brilliant to get some fine pure techno

Kazuumi Ishii (Electronic Directory – JP)
Thanks for sending this over. This is a great release, all tracks are dope. Manifest is my pick if I have to choose – I like the hypnotic atmosphere. Keep that dope music coming man.

Jamie Behan (Subject Detroit, Bastardo Electrico, Projekt Radio – IRL)
Thanks for sending this! Great release. Proper techno. Love the hypnotic groove of Chaotic Terrain and the melancholic yet uplifting synths and strings in Manifest. 5/5 and full support

Len Faki (Figure, Ostgut Ton, Monoïd, … GER)
thanks for the link, chaotic terrain will work perfectly during noon time at berghain

Samuli Kemppi (Pakkas-Levyt, Prologue, Mote-Evolver, … – Finland)
Mr. Mau’s remix of ‘Untold’ and ‘Chaotic Terrain’ are my favorites. Will play both of them on radio and on gigs. Good release.

Digital only? Would like to see this on wax.

Charlton Ravenberg (Return Records, Labrynth Records – UK)
Love this record!

Phone (Subsist Records – Valencia Spain)
Excelent release from Jeroen. All tracks are nice especially untold pt1 +pt2. The Mr. Mau remix is beauty.

DJ Tomaz (National Belgian Radio Stu Bru – Switch radio show – BE)
Strong release. I’m in love with Manifest. It’s an amazing beautiful track. it’s epic touch comes close to Entangled (PA Presents). Trippy with soul!

Franco Cangelli (Mowar Records, Aesthetik Records – BE)
Deep and hypnotic techno just the way i’d expect from jeroen search!

Ozka (Aesthetik Records, Labrynth Records, Mowar Records – BE)
Chaotic terrain: brilliant ! Kind of mental track that reminds you that space is not so far from us… also reminds me about a wicked record i still play today: http://www.discogs.com/Unit-3-Exhale/release/71531

Every note/sound from the Manifest track is just delicious… Sounds like Jeroen lets his heart speak like never before on this track ! Pure beauty. Mr. Mau’s remix takes on a journey through deep and hypnotic atmospheres… love this version.

DJ Psytox (Coincidence Records – BE)
Chaotic Terrain for the win! Love the darkness in this one. Untold is also pretty great once it gets on its way, deepness for caves and afterhours

Best Orbis so far for me. Keep it up, Mau.

Roebin De Freitas (Curle, Meakusma, Kubism, … – BE)
Forever fluctuating, sometimes twitchy but remaining groovy this EP sounds like what Jeroen Search is all about. No wonder Jeff Mills picked him up for his own label. This record has Detroit written all over it! Must have!

DJ Kr!z (Token Records – BE)
Untold rmx rocks. I like.

I’ve always been holding back on the live issue but I think the time is now! I think I’m ready for this next step. DJ’ing has always been my first passion but since I started to play with hardware and software in the year 2005 it has been more appealing then ever: a first live act with only self-made material.

Actually the live act was planned some weeks ago but got rescheduled to 12/05.

Looking forward to this one.
Expect some UK & Detroit inspired techno and as stripped as it can be
Btw, keep an eye on the Orbis Records page, we’re releasing number 3 real soon!

It’s been a little quiet here but that’s soon going to change. Keep an eye on the online stores within a few weeks because there is a lot of stuff on it’s way

Coming up:

Remix for Coincidence Records
Free download of a release on Return Records (offline for now – stupid hosting)
Remix for Orbis Records, 1 year anniversary!

Stay tuned! More news asap.

Dear friends & followers,

It had been playing in my mind for some while and I finally made up my mind, … I’m working on my first live act.

I’m really looking forward to this new step. Something new, something different and something to set the tone for my vision of minimal techno and sound.

When ? The date for the party hasn’t been set yet but I keep the honours to the organisers. 2010, that’s for sure.

Free release on Return Records – http://www.return-records.com

Beside this big news, I’m also excited to announce my next release (real soon).
Return Records is one of the unknown small & above all free techno labels hosted in Holland. Labelowner Charlton (Ravenberg) tries to provide some quality stuff in this “elektro-clash” minded world and he delivers for sure !

I’m very proud to contribute to his label with 2 tracks accompanied by 2 remixes.

Cat. : ASG/OR001
Artist : Mr. Mau
Title : Independent EP
Format : Digital

Tracks :
1) The Chained Rhythm
2) When All Is Left
3) They Knew What Was Coming
4) What If (Loop)

Release date : 22/09/2009 worldwide
Mastering by Equus (Pieter De Wagter)
Distribution by EPM Distribution

Info :
Orbis Records is probably one of those underground labels Belgium never had until now.
The label will provide dark, deep and stripped down hypnotic techno music as wide as the box can get.

‘Thinking outside the box is our priority’ is possibly the most used sentence when it comes to label descriptions but we have no limits. Our priority is bringing deep, hypnotic and stripped down music that will please the partygoer as well as the record collector.

Our first release contains four tracks, created by Mr. Mau, that you can let loose on a crowd late at night.

Mr. Mau (Dries Bultynck) is a Belgian producer who knows what he wants. He has been playing his part in the Belgian underground techno scene a long time now and remains one of the few deejays that is still loyal to his sound: Dark, deep and hypnotic with a personal touch.

His mission is to constantly innovate himself, his deejay sets as well as his releases… and that will show in this release. Those that know his work on both Forteana and Labrynth Records, will get another release true to his sound. Familiar but again, different.

“The Chained Rythm” is a pure dancefloor corker. Dark and straightforward.

“When All Is Left” drags you into a higher state of consciousness and knocks you out of your rhythm at the right moment making you forget what planet you were from.

“They Knew What Was Coming” is the most experimental track of the release. A hypnotic melody combined with an offbeat rhythm accompanied by a deep bassline make the big picture a breathtaking track.

At last we have a very handy loop that you just have to try out: “What If”

Feedback :

Pacou (GER – Cache Records, Tresor)
Good tracks! Will play “Chained Rhythm” !

Phase (UK – Token Records, Inceptive Records)
Thanks for this. Nice stuff. Been playing “The Chained Rhythm” mostly.

Jeroen Search (NL – Downwards, Cache Records, Smallville Records)
“The Chained Rhythm” and “When All Is Left” are my favourites.

Michaelangelo (PT – Labrynth Records)
“The Chained Rhythm is my favorite. It has some nice crescendos throughout the music. Good solid track that i will definitely play in my sets.”

Maxi Cuenca (PL – Soleil Records)
I think ‘the chained rhythm’ is my favourite. I like the job overall, sounds raw/analogue enough and is solid builded to desereve been called good techno! so cheers, is a really good job. The loop sounds intresting as well as the other tracks, but as said before. I like it all.

Karl Beany (UK)
Many thanks for the promo CD, excellent stuff- I really like it especially the tracks “The Chained Rhythm” and “When all is left” but they are all great. A very good debut release. Congratulations to you for not only getting off your ass and doing a label but doing it with quality music, i wish you every success- my full support.

Tomaz (BE – Switch Stu Bru Belgian National Radio)
Great trippy techno, will play.

Kr!z (BE – Token Records)
Cool release. Would buy it if it came out on vinyl. A little bit too deep for my sets but this is definitely what a Mills or a Hood would play.

Franco Cangelli (BE – Mowar)
“Loving the drugged out sensation of ‘They Knew what was coming’. Nice build-up!
‘When all is left’ is great too. Hypno all the way!”

Roebin de Freitas / Kemiko Surimi (BE – Curle Records, Miniature Records)
“Mr. Mau brings us some hypnotic techno reminescent of what people like Damon Wild, DJ Missile and Innigo Kennedy were making around the turn of the century. These are throbbing and moody cycles you can launch onto a crowd deep in the night. Besides the very useful ‘what if’ loop, you can find a deep excursion into rhytmn explorations (They knew what was coming) and an absolute dance floor corker (The chained rhytmn). Top notch material!”

Evad Streaklov (BE – Memento Mori)
“Very strong debut release. I hear some Planetary Assault Systems influences and that’s never a bad thing. 4 techno tracks full of energy. My favourite one is “”The Chained Rhythm”". Dark and hypnotizing, the way I like it. Dungeon material. Will play!”
