Last year I had the pleasure of writing a new artist bio and press release for LA producer and label head Maude Vôs, on the occasion of their latest release The Evil Side of Love.

Shimmering with metallic warmth, fluid melodies, and dark tension, Maude Vôs’ productions and live performances are marked by an infectious energy and multifaceted enthusiasm for creating and connecting. Channeling the organic flow of a studio wired with a panoply of hardware gear, the Los Angeles-based artist has cultivated a growing catalog of distinctive releases and remixes alongside their professional work as a sound designer and composer.
Their forthcoming The Evil Side of Love is a tightly wound collection of electronica laced with moody breaks and emotive vocal tracks, and a new remix of Liyv’s “Don’t Look Away” swirls with crisp details and cavernous space. As a DJ, their sparkling, psychedelic mixes are filled with lush atmospheres, whispered vocals, and synthesizer music of all genres. Vôs’ coherent, authentic style exudes an intuition for the links between rave past and present.
Tirelessly supporting positive growth in the electronic music scene, Vos is co-founder (with Marie Nyx) of Delusional Records, an underground label dedicated to women, non-binary, queer, and/or BIPOC artists working primarily with hardware. They’re also active in sharing their craft, hosting workshops on Ableton, sound design and synthesis within their community, as well as teaching audio production to young women and at-risk youth for non-profits.
Vôs appears in the book Patch and Tweak with Korg (Bjooks, 2022), was recently named an artist to watch by DJ Mag, and has been featured by Spin and Perfect Circuit. Dynamic and deeply felt, their creativity shines with an optimistic, expansive vision of mutual exchange and soul connection.
