After years of mainly spinning records for his friends, often after one of the many parties he attended with friends, it was time for the big work! In October 2012 the first edition of Pleasure Lounge took place, a party organized by Maus and a group of friends.

A big smile, broad shoulders, mesmerizing blue eyes behind the decks, combined with the crowd raising the roof. That’s Maus!

Maus, known as Maurice in daily life, started out quite early to get his bearings in music. Just like many of his distinguished DJ colleagues, Maus started out in his attic room. Inspired  by a multitude of drive-in shows he would mix 12 inch records together for hours. Eventually, this hobby resulted in a “side job” at a local radio station. The opportunity to work at a radio station considerably increased his musical knowledge.
