Mau P Responds to Ghost Producer Claims with Project File Breakdown

Mau P, formerly known as Maurice West, has addressed claims that someone else produced his track "Just A Little Bit More" by opening the project file and demonstrating how each element was built. The producer walked through the drums, 303-style bassline, guitar, and vocals in a detailed video posted to Instagram, keeping the focus on the session itself and showing his involvement step by step.

Support from Hardwell, Bluestone, and Diplo

As the claims spread, Ilan Bluestone referenced an older video of Mau P making a track in an hour. Hardwell, Agents Of Time, and Diplo also backed him publicly. The official credits for "Just A Little Bit More" list Mau P, Robert Pronk, and Tobias Wincorn as producers, with Mau P and Pronk receiving mixing and mastering credits. The debate centered on whether Mau P genuinely worked on the production, not whether collaborators were involved.

A Decade in the Studio

Before launching Mau P with "Drugs From Amsterdam" in 2022, the producer had already spent years releasing music under the Maurice West name. Tracks including "Gimme That Bounce," "Metro," "Dress Code," and "Beats For The Underground" followed as the new project gained attention. More than a decade after he first began releasing music, his production history has come back into focus.

Mau P closed the breakdown video with a line that brought everything back to the work itself: "No shortcuts. There's no shortcuts." By opening the session and explaining the production, he offered a direct response to the speculation and reconnected the producer behind Maurice West with the artist he has become today.
