Felov —

Felov is the stage name of Maarten Nieuwelink. He is a Rotterdam-based producer and DJ working across chillstep, drum and bass, jungle and liquid funk. His releases include the track "Pomona" (credited to Maarten Nieuwelink) which was released on Transparent Audio on December 21, 2020, plus singles and an EP — notably "Runaway", "Stay" and the Under Pressure EP — issued through Transparent Audio and related outlets. Public biographical detail on Felov is limited. What is verifiable: his output appears on Transparent Audio and related channels, with the earliest public credit here dating to 2020. That recorded output is the main document of his entry into the recorded scene; beyond those releases he is identified in press and release metadata as both producer and DJ based in Rotterdam. Sonically Felov operates where liquid melodies meet chillstep atmospherics. Across the releases named above he favours sustained pads and space-focused reverbs, tight low-end design and clear transient work on percussion. Production techniques evident in his catalogue include layered bass work that pairs a clean sine/sub foundation with a textured midrange, and precise break editing that keeps grooves defined without washing out the ambience. Drum programming leans toward chopped break patterns and cleanly processed snares rather than raw, lo-fi jungle wreckage; delays and automated filter sweeps are used to create movement across bars. As a contributor to the scene Felov’s role is primarily studio-led: he composes, produces and places tracks on label platforms (Transparent Audio being the primary example). The crediting of "Pomona" to his given name, Maarten Nieuwelink, is a clear record of authorship on Dec 21, 2020. The singles "Runaway" and "Stay" and the Under Pressure EP extend that catalog and show a consistent focus on melodic, club-capable liquid and chillstep material. Specific personal influences or public collaborations are not widely documented in available sources. The verifiable through-line is his Rotterdam base, his dual credit as producer and DJ, and the releases listed above on Transparent Audio, which establish his profile as an active producer in liquid/chillstep-adjacent drum and bass since at least 2020.
