“Midnight Ride” aims to take listeners on an exhilarating journey, simulating the sensation of driving through a storm on an autobahn at 250 km/h. Depas achieved this by adopting a less-is-more approach, incorporating field recordings and vintage sounds from his analog gear collection, including a Roland Jupiter-X and an Octatrack sampler.

Maike Depas’ musical journey began when he was eight years old, inspired by artists like Skrillex and Martin Garrix. By the age of 11, he was performing at small clubs in Milan and nurturing his love for music. His passion led him to study at the prestigious Milan Conservatory. In 2022, Depas attended Catalyst’s four-week Advanced Sound Design course at Berlin’s Funkhaus, an experience that significantly influenced his creative output.
