Maas first began producing records in the '80s, but his first record The Final XS was not released until 1995. The Final XC did not sell well, and Maas himself even called it Cheesy, which is a term used in electronic music to describe something too simple and predictable. His second record release was with another producer, Gary D, with Die Herdplatte, which was a bigger success than his first album. Gary D also gained Maas a residency at Hamburg's famous club, The Tunnel, between 1994 and 1996.
Through British contacts Maas played at the Bristol club Lakota. Maas also began to release records through record-labels such as Hope Recordings, both under his own name and the alias Orinoko. Maas has also recorded under many aliases such as Mad Dogs and many others together with his manager and friend Leon Alexander. In 2000 Timo Maas began a residency alongside Deep Dish at the New York club Twilo.
Maas first became popular in mainstream dance music through his remix of Azzido Da Bass' Doom's Night, in the wake of this success he released Music For The Maases Volume 1, a mix album consisting of many of his previous tracks and remixes. After producing another mix album called Connected with Paul Oakenfold's imprint Perfecto Maas released his own debut album Loud in 2002. The album featured guest appearances from Kelis and Finley Quaye. A second Music For The Maases, Volume 2, was released, again consisting of remixes and new tracks. In 2005 Maas released his second personal album, Pictures, featuring guest artists Kelis, Neneh Cherry and Placebo's Brian Molko.
His "To Get Down" track has been widely used in movie soundtracks such as the 2003 remake of The Italian Job (2003 film), Riders in 2002, as well as other mediums such as the video game, FIFA 2003, and a Budweiser beer commercial.
On the popular video game The Sims 2: Nightlife, a remix of the Neighbourhood screen music is credited to him.

The lyrics to Timo Maas's song "Ready Steady Go" are primarily composed of the repeated phrase "Ready steady go" and variations thereof. The repetition of this phrase serves to create a sense of urgency and excitement, as if the singer is urging the listener to take action and move forward. The use of the stuttering "R-R-R-R-ready" at the beginning further emphasizes this sense of urgency, as if the singer is literally stuttering with excitement.
The second half of the lyrics contain the phrase "Strictly the mother f-", which is presumably an abbreviation of the vulgar phrase "motherfucker". This use of profanity serves to convey a sense of rebellion and non-conformity, as if the singer is rejecting societal norms and embracing a more raw, unfiltered form of expression. The repetition of this phrase further emphasizes this rejection of conventional values, as if the singer is daring the listener to challenge them.

Sidnei Rosa da Silva
Sun is beyond the sea
As we could see,
As we could see,
As we could be.
Every drop could be
if you belonged to me
if you belonged to me
If you are beside me.
Love is beyond the sea
Yellow rain could be,
Yellow rain could be,
Yellow rain poured me.
Sun is beyond the sea
pure insane for me,
pure insane for me
pure insane fits me.
Liquid worlds might be
if you let them free
If you let them free.
If you set them free.
Lyrics inspired by song: Ready, Steady, Go by Paul Oakenfold)

This song is now 20 years old! I first heard this song from actions movies like The Bourne Identity (2002) and Collateral (2004). One of my favorite songs in the 2000s with a mixture of hip hop, rock, and electronic music.

Клип ужасен и ничего уже не скрывает. 66 и штрихкод. Сердце, подсоединенное к машине. Укол и «Чужие» с лицами типа «людей», сбивающие людей, женщин, мужчин, детей😱

Paul Oakenfold is one of the best Dj's ever! One of my favorites!
He can do remixes of all genres os music, pop, hip hop, rock etc, and the results are fantastic!
His originals are also awesome.
This track is one of them, full of energy!
