His new DJ-mixed album Deep Trip 2 takes the listener on a late-night journey through the deepest corners of house, jazz, and soul.

In an era defined by superficiality, DJ Maestro -- a.k.a. Martijn Barkhuis -- proves once again why true craftsmanship is timeless. His new DJ-mixed album Deep Trip 2 takes the listener on a late-night journey through the deepest corners of house, jazz, and soul. To do again what he does best: bringing forgotten jazz releases back into the spotlight of the dance floor.
Everyone Is a DJ. But Not Everyone Can spin
An evening behind the decks has become the favorite side gig of every B-list actor. Dating profiles are full of photos of men and women with a pair of headphones wedged between ear and shoulder. And what the Chanel bag is for women, the headphone is for the wannabe DJ: the ultimate status symbol. But being a DJ is not a matter of downloading a few tracks and looking irresistible behind a DJ set. Spinning records is a craft -- whether old-school vinyl or digital. And to practice your craft well, you need talent and a solid education. Just as you can see whether a visual artist has a classical background, and just as you can taste in which starred restaurant a chef was trained, you can hear in a DJ's mix whether they truly understand music. Deep Trip 2: Deeper, Warmer, Unmistakably Maestro
Following the success of the first instalment -- released in July 2025 on Black Hole Recordings -- Maestro returns with Deep Trip 2. Where the first chapter bridged jazz and house rhythms, this new chapter plunges even deeper: warmer grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and rich, soulful textures. The whole unfolds like a late-night journey -- intimate, layered, and unmistakably Maestro.
The jazz spirit still pulses beneath the surface, but Deep Trip 2 leans into lush atmospheres and contemporary soulful house sounds -- the work of an artist who evolves without losing his core identity. An invitation to slow down, sink in, and let the music carry you somewhere new. 'His music enchants audiences worldwide with a jazzy, soulful blend that sets the standard in musical storytelling.'
