News - Cardio-Ab-Workout (+Dragonfly review)

 New year, it could be a new (physical) you!

Apart from music being my life's passion, I've also been a dancer and dance teacher for the last 15 years, run my own company and been on mini tours around Europe. I love keeping my body fit and going to the gym! 

I've had the pleasure to collaborate with Dragonfly and Stephanie Clarke to shoot my first fitness video, a 3min Cardio-Abs-Workout that you can follow along to and share in with my goal of 2016 being the fittest year yet. 
The fact that our body is the only home we have keeps motivating me to look after it and pushing its limits. 

I hope you enjoy my first of hopefully many fitness video's! 
Do comment, like and share if you want more of these!

If you are finding this a little fast, check out the instructions below the video:


Exercise 1: Stand shoulder width apart, arms streched out parallel to the floor, locking positions right, centre and left. Engage abs, keep arms parallel imagining someone is pulling your fingertips.

Exercise 2: Bend knees, arms in front of chest, twisting to the right, left, right, right, left, right, left, left etc.

Exercise 3: Bring hands to your head, elbows to the side, crunching your right knee up to your right elbow, your left knee into the left elbow, engage obliques.

Exercise 4: Keep position as in exercise 3, but this time take opposite knee to elbow. 

Repeat each exercise for 4 counts of 8, then 2 counts of 8, then one count of 8 twice.

I recommend to do the workout 2-3 times to really feel/see the benefits.

I can honestly and without a doubt say it's been a delight working out in my Dragonfly outfits! They make me feel sexy and I didn't for once have to worry about any sweat patches. They feel totally comfortable and strech to fit any shape. Dragonfly clothes create a beautiful combination of elegant, athletic, stylish and feminine design. Like your second skin! 

This is what the brand says about themselves: 

"Dragonfly is a creature that symbolises fascinating lightness with ferocity and endurance. Dragonfly is a gentle creature but it has an ideal construction and behaves absolutely fearless. That’s why Dragonfly became an inspiration to our clothing and our brand. Same as the Dragonfly our clothes attract with beautiful colours and perfect design."


We also shot a video for my friend Stephanie Clarke and did a photoshoot you can enjoy below:

News - "Hot & Cold" is OUT NOW


"Hot & Cold" - Pretty Boy Acid Feat. Maya Wolff is OUT NOW 

First of, I wish you all a very happy, amazing new year! I had a wonderful Christmas with my family in Germany and feel mega motivated for 2016! Expect lots more music this year, and it's starting off with a long awaited release:

"Hot & Cold" written by Maya Wolff and produced by Pretty Boy Acid is out today exclusively on Beatport. The Original full length as well as the Radio Edit are available for purchase.

I hope all my Wolfferines can get their downloads in the next few days so we might have a chance to enter the Beatport Electro House charts. It was amazing to see my last single "Midnight Sun" climb up to No 36 in the DnB charts, so it definitely is possible BUT the Electro House charts are a lot harder to crack, so please share/RT/play "Hot & Cold". 

Here's the link: 

(If you only want to get one version, please get the full length "Original" one https://pro.beatport.com/track/hot-and-cold-feat-maya-wolff-original/7371084 as this one is more likely to chart) 

Massive thanks for the support and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Maya

Awesome News - New track "Our Future" with LOONEY B

Hopefully you all survived the Christmas holidays happy, healthy and merrily!
I've been busy hanging out with Looney B, who I connected with over another release a couple of years ago. Ever since we've been working on different projects together, but getting together in his studio over the last couple of days, we managed to smash it and get sh** done! 
Here's our first and hopefully not the last collab for you guys from us! Enjoy this little preview for now and the full version will be out in the new year! We are both thrilled that it'll be included in the Sunshine Live New Years show too! 


On this note, I want to thank all my faithful Wolfferines for all the love & support in 2015. It's been a happy, amazing year and I'm just super excited about realising lots of new music in 2016 and be back on stage too!

Lots of love,

Maya

NEWS - "Hot&Cold" Release in 2016


This time last year I released a bunch of vocals for free for producers to play with. 
One of the tracks coming out of that was the version Pretty Boy Acid sent back to me of the vocals "Hot&Cold". 
We signed the track in January this year to 6N7 Music. I remember the moment well getting the call from the label. I happened to be in Vegas getting ready for a night out, so we had to have an additional few drinks that night.
We had a demo version up on Soundcloud that had a lot of love so far.

It's been a long process throughout this whole year of writing, recording, restructuring, rerecording.... but it is now ready to be released on 4th of January 2016 on Beatport. We have high hopes that this track will get a lot of recognition in the ever so emerging EDM scene especially in the US/Canadian market!

News - New Acoustic Song "Prophecy (Love will find us)" FREE DOWNLOAD

It's been a long time since I have shared an acoustic vocal track, even though I have written a huge amount this year.
I wrote "Love will find us" a couple of months ago and ended up giving it the title Prophecy as I felt that that what I was writing, unknowingly, made way for things to come.

I am a firm believer in our thoughts and mindset having a huge influence and impact on our life. What you think is what you attract. 
Throughout the summer I made some decisions and internal changes to not waste my time on young, game playing guys anymore and started recapturing the idea of a vision of a man I could actually see myself with.

One of my best friends gently pushed me onto this path by making the observation after one of the acoustic gigs I played in the summer that she was watching, that a fair amount of songs were about finding that "love". Firstly, I disagreed as many of those songs weren't actually written about a personal experience, yet it did make me start evaluating things. When affection, attraction and care is mutual it is a wonderful thing and I hope I managed to capture some of those emotions and hope in this song.

I am in no way a producer, yet I don't see the point withholding something from the world just because of its imperfect state so I hope you can enjoy it for what it is... just a little piece of my heart & mind shared with you in the best way possible for me. 

As it's Christmas time I felt generous and you can even download the song for free! Click on the pic below to listen/download. Would love if you can share/like/comment

Fashion - Halloween Shoot

Better late than never! 
Just before Halloween I had the pleasure of working with 3 photograhers, Jim Carey, Andrew Matthews and Alexander Voodoo. The second model was Anne Bentley and Lizzie Sitford was our wonderful MUA. 
It was a long, cold day in the middle of nowhere at a church ruin in the Sussex countryside. It truly was the perfect location for a Halloween shoot. Practising pulling faces in my spare time has finally paid off! Enjoy the results!
