Timo Maas is set to release the single ‘FirstDay’ on May30 th as the first to be taken from his forthcoming second album ‘Pictures’. ’Pictures’, his Warner Bros. debut, follows on June13 th.

The insistent rhythms and irresistible hook of ‘FirstDay’ are as addictive as the best of Timo’s work, whilst the inimitable vocals of Placebo’sBrianMolko interplay perfectly with those of newcomer JoKate. Sure, it’s dance music, but its creativity and originality breathe fresh vitality into the genre.

Having collaborated on ‘HelpMe’, one of the highlights of Timo’s debut album, Kelis reprises here role by adding her sensual vocal gift to ‘4 Ur Ears’. NenehCherry guests on ‘HighDrama’, a song originally written for P. Diddy’s long overdue dance album, and the ethereal, dreamlike qualities of her voice help to provide one of the strongest tracks that Timo has ever worked on.

Having first performed as a teenager in his native Germany, Timo’s DJ career has gone from strength to strength. An early residency at Hamburg’sTunnel gave him the opportunity to hone his talents as well as make a name for himself. A prestigious residency at NewYork’sTwillo followed and Timo has been in huge demand on the international club circuit ever since. Further more, his talents have also been requested at events as varied as Glastonbury, Creamfields, the MalaysianGrandPrix and at NaomiCampbell’s birthday in St. Tropez.
