Renegade Riddims: Mauoq
22 November 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Mauoq (real name Mauro Campana) is a London-based DJ and producer originally from Rome, Italy.
He got his start in the early 90s spinning italo-house and techno at student parties in Italy. By the mid-90s, he’d fallen for the bass-heavy breakbeat sound emerging from the UK. Since then, he’s championed the deeper, groovier side of Drum & Bass, eventually moving to London in the early 2000s. A few years later, the dub-inspired tones of Dubstep caught his ear and further shaped his Drum & Bass style, leading to his trademark “less is more” approach.
In 2010, he launched the Mauoq DNB Podcast, a bi-monthly series showcasing fresh and innovative bass-driven sounds at 170 bpm. He’s played extensively across the UK and Europe, with a standout 10-year residency at the legendary Sun & Bass Festival in Italy (2009–2019).
Mauoq began dabbling with music production in the late 90s but took it seriously from the mid-2000s, releasing his first tracks in 2011. By 2015, he had established his own label, Mauoq Music, as a platform for his solo work, collaborations, and remixes.
Over the years, he’s released music on respected labels like CX Digital, Diffrent Music, Dispatch Recordings, Flexout Audio, Rebel Music, and Squares Music, to name a few. His tracks have earned support from top-tier names in Drum & Bass, including Dexta, Gremlinz, Loxy, Mark System, Noisia, Skeptical, Stunna, Tokyo Prose, and more.
Today Mauoq joins our Renegade Riddims series with a brand new exclusive mix just for us! The mix includes music from himself, including some unreleased bits and other tracks from artists such as Loxy, Brusten, Creatures, R3IDY, Kublai, Wreckless and more!
Check out the mix below and download it for free here!

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
A crafty blend of quality tunes that loosely fit around some random old and new Mauoq Music catalogue
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
It’s a fight between ’Stuck on You’ by Bursten & Dyl for the depth and ‘Seventeen Heads’ by Wreckless for the madness.
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
I guess my own productions, some exclusive dubs and my mixing style will make the mix special, at least I hope!
Tell us about your next release…
It’s a single two-tracker with tunes made in the early post-pandemic times. ‘Gift Shop’ is almost entirely made of samples found on a well respected label’s Discord channel during lockdown whereas ‘Racture’ is inspired by my first visit to a specific infamous London clubnight.
What have you got coming up?
Nothing set in stone at the minute but I have a few solo and collaboration tracks ready to find their right home plus I’m working on an EP for my label which will likely be ready at some point early next year
When was the last time you actually raved?
Not sure I’d call it “actual raving” but a couple of months ago I attended ‘Exit Records at Planet Wax’ and ‘Dubclub at Loki’ in the same night, which alone accounts for extreme raving by my standards nowadays! Also, the vibe at the latter was definitely ravey. Else I’d have to go back to early summer when I went to see Laurent Garnier in Rome
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Thanks for reading and listening, hope you dig the choones!
