Learn more about the release below.
Mau P makes his return to Black Book Records with ‘neck,’ a driving, groove-led house record built around a thick, rubbery bassline that anchors the mix. Tight kicks and crisp, funky percussion create a smooth, rolling momentum on the dancefloor, while disco-leaning synth stabs and vocal chops add a final layer of polish. Designed for peak-time club moments, this is a highly functional, mix-ready cut with intent.
First introduced during Mau P’s standout Sahara Tent headline at Coachella - where it became a defining, crowd-shifting moment of his set - ‘neck’ has continued to evolve ever since. The track has been reshaped and refined through months of road testing, growing heavier and more confident as Mau’s sound and scale have expanded on the global stage.
Mau’s story with Black Book Records began when ‘Dress Code’ landed on the label and quickly took on a life of its own, becoming a calling card throughout his earliest tours. The record earned heavyweight support and viral moments, including a recent video of Dua Lipa dancing to the track while it was played by Peggy Gou, accelerating his momentum from rising name to international headliner. That foundation has since grown into one of the most talked-about careers in electronic music.
In the years following, the Dutch producer’s ascent has been relentless. From Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and Hï Ibiza to Amsterdam Dance Event, his presence has scaled rapidly. In 2025 alone, he delivered a high-production debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and sold out over 40,000 tickets across two nights of his Baddest Behaviour show at Los Angeles State Historic Park. His Baddest Behaviour open-to-close series continues to grow globally, including sold-out dates and a summer residency at Ibiza’s iconic Pacha alongside Seth Troxler, Solomun, and CamelPhat.
As he looks ahead to an ambitious 2026 - including a debut Australian tour, major festival appearances at Ultra Buenos Aires, EDC Mexico, and Lightning in a Bottle, and the launch of an album, label, and clothing line - ‘neck’ feels deliberately timed. It’s a reminder of where Mau P came from and a clear signal of where he’s headed.
