Warner Chappell Music Benelux has signed a global publishing deal with breakout DJ and Producer Mau P.

18 February 2025 - Press release

Hailing from Amsterdam, Mau P first made waves in the dance music scene under his ‘Maurice West’ moniker, scoring a series of underground club hits. Making the decision to push himself artistically and sonically, creating a new sound and adopting a new name, Mau P hit the stratosphere, with his debut single ‘Drugs from Amsterdam’ generating more than 200 million streams and topping Beatport’s prestigious Top 10 for over a month in 2022. 

Mau P released his follow up, ‘Gimme That Bounce’ in Early 2023, right as he was embarking on his first North American tour. His star only continued to rise across the rest of the year,  with successful releases including ‘Your Mind is Dirty’ and ‘Dress Code’, remixes for the Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, and Armand van Helden, high profile sets at Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Hi Ibiza and Amsterdam Dance Event, and an original collaboration with Kevin de Vries (‘Metro’), which was the most played track of Tomorrowland 2023. 

More recently, Mau P has released the highly anticipated single ‘beats for the underground’, launched his new show on SiriusXM radio - ‘XXX radio’, and been added to Wynn Las Vegas’s roster of resident DJs. He’s also put out a number of collaborations with some of the biggest names in music, including ‘On Again’, with legendary producer Mike Dean, and ‘Receipts’ with Diplo and Gunna, the former of whom he appeared with in a B2B set on Coachella’s new Quasar stage.

2024 also saw the introduction of Mau P’s own multidisciplinary show concept, BADDEST BEHAVIOUR, which debuted with a sold-out show in New York’s Knockdown Centre. Mau P then brought the concept to Floyd during Miami Music Week, Mission Ballroom in Denver, and a series of four sold-out back to-back takeovers at New York’s Under The K Bridge and Los Angeles’s Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall. In total, more than 25,000 fans attended the BADDEST BEHAVIOUR concept tour.   

Niels Walboomers, President, Records and Publishing, Benelux, WMG says: “We’re incredibly excited to be welcoming Mau P to the WCM Benelux Family. His unique talent and innovative approach to production aligns perfectly with our vision to champion great artistry, and we’re delighted to be able to support him in the next phase of his career.”

Mau P adds: “It’s great to be teaming up with Warner Chappell. I’m looking forward to working together to create even more great music in the future!”
