Mau P steps up to the mic while merging his signature production with that of storied hip-hop producer Mike Dean.

For the first time, Mau P isn’t just behind the decks—he’s also hopping on the mic.

In an artistic switch-up, he’s back with « On Again, » a single that not only sees the Dutch dance music star contributing his own vocals to a record for the first time, but also features the stylings of influential hip-hop producer Mike Dean.

« This song has had such a beautiful process where I feel like I really found a new part of me as an artist, » Mau P said in a press release shared with EDM.com. « I always felt like it was a demo that was meant for a bigger artist than myself, but after showing everyone the version with my vocals on it it just stuck. The magic was already there and after getting Mike Dean’s blessing on it, it really felt perfect. »

Dean’s masterful synth work has become the foundation for many storied tracks over the last three decades, shaping the hip-hop spectrum from the work of Beyoncé to Travis Scott to Jay-Z. His hand in « On Again, » is the accent mark to a career already punctuated by a long history of bold collaborations.
