Thomas Azier + MAYA MARIA

Thomas Azier returns to the core. With synths, saxophone, and voice. His new project Power To The People Who Don’t Want It is a standalone sonic universe. The original songs barely recognisable. Urgent poems cut through the silence like a blade. Like an astronaut on unknown ground, Azier drifts through fragments of Tangerine Dream, Angelo Badalamenti and Brian Eno. Since early this year, he’s been touring Europe with jazz saxophonist Maarten Hogenhuis and keyboardist Annelotte Coster. His moon landing? It happens here. In the Bea.

“She dances with the waves in the shelter of her own voice.” From the sands of Terschelling emerges MAYA MARIA: an artist who disarms and challenges. Blending Alt-R&B and Artpop, she seeks the tension between the natural and the unnatural, pouring her story into music, image and performance. After collaborations and shows with the likes of Wolfskers, Popronde, Oerol and ESNS, she is now ready to spread her solo wings. Her EP the bed-ties (august 2025) is a fearless statement: she takes the space that’s hers to take. On themes such as the madonna-whore complex, sexual freedom and intergenerational blockages, MAYA MARIA sings what often remains unspoken. And how. Goosebumps guaranteed.
