Deformed Maze is a rock band with a distinctive and melodic sound, drawing inspiration from a wide array of genres and artists. We strive to produce the best possible songs with the highest quality sound while keeping our music close to the chest. Expect catchy riffs, emotive guitar solos, mesmerizing soundscapes, and captivating vocal lines from us.

Deformed Maze consists of Dimitri Toonen and Sander van Gaans, formed in 2024. Dimitri has been a recording artist since 2020 and a lifelong musician. After recording his solo albums “Leave My Mind Sometimes” (2020) and “Sounds From Emotions” (2022), Dimitri wanted to expand his musical palette and started writing songs with Sander.

Sander has been playing guitar forever. Playing a wide variety of styles, (co)writing songs, playing sessions, and a passion for theater make him a versatile guitarist. Being friends for a long time and after co-writing “My Dark Passenger” on Dimitri’s album “Sounds From Emotions,” it was only a matter of time before they started collaborating on writing songs together, which is finally taking great shape!

“Sander has a way of creating beautiful musical landscapes. He often sends me these nearly completed songs like ‘Wandering Thoughts,’ which is amazing for me to work with,” says Dimitri.
