In 2016, his remix of Van Yorge’s “Nightfall” was selected as “Track Of The Month” by Kyau & Albert on Euphonic Sessions in November of that year.

After this, he began production at the legendary Kyau & Albert label, Euphonic Records.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Maywave continues to push boundaries with his latest track, "Blue Sky." This 140 BPM uplifting masterpiece not only embodies the spirit of classic trance but also showcases cutting-edge production techniques that make it a standout addition to any uplifting trance DJ set. From a technical standpoint, "Blue Sky" excels in its meticulous sound design and production quality. The track opens with pounding techy drums and thumping kicks, meticulously layered to create a driving energy that captures the listener's attention immediately. The kicks are sharp and punchy, achieved through precise EQing and sidechain compression techniques that ensure they cut through the mix without overwhelming other elements. The pulsating basslines are crafted using a combination of analog and digital synthesis, providing a warm yet dynamic foundation that complements the rhythm section perfectly. The melodic elements are where "Blue Sky" truly shines. The main melody, epic and optimistic, is constructed using rich, layered synths that evolve throughout the track. Maywave employs advanced modulation techniques, including filter sweeps and dynamic reverb automation, to add depth and movement, creating an immersive auditory experience. The breakdown section is particularly noteworthy; it features atmospheric layers with heavenly harps performing the main melody, enhanced by ethereal pads and subtle background textures. This section transitions seamlessly into synthy plucks, gradually building tension through the use of rising white noise, pitch risers, and strategic drum fills. The climax is a euphoric explosion of uplifting energy, characterized by wide, lush synth leads and a powerful, driving beat. The use of stereo imaging and spatial effects, such as delay and reverb, gives the track a vast, expansive feel, making it ideal for large festival stages and club environments. The meticulous attention to detail in the mixdown and mastering processes ensures that every frequency range is well-balanced, allowing the track to sound pristine on any sound system. For uplifting trance DJs, "Blue Sky" is an invaluable addition to their sets. Its energetic tempo, emotional melodies, and high production values make it versatile for peak-time moments or as a euphoric closer. The track’s structure, with its extended intro and outro sections, facilitates seamless mixing, while its dynamic arrangement keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. In summary, "Blue Sky" is not just a track; it's a masterclass in trance production. Maywave’s attention to detail, combined with his ability to evoke emotion through sound, solidifies his position as a leading figure in the trance music scene. #PureGold Love iT[/content]
