His music, marked by swinging rhythms, bouncy drum lines, and deep, catchy basslines, captures both homage to house music’s foundations and a fresh, forward-thinking sound.

Starting as a self-taught producer, Max worked tirelessly to develop his unique style, blending classic influences with an underground edge that resonates across the house music industry.

He has also shared the stage with prominent names like Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, and Archie Hamilton, cementing his place among the industry’s leading figures.

Max’s influence is also evident in his chart success, with multiple releases achieving top rankings on Beatport and earning spots among the platform's best-selling and most-streamed tracks in the minimal and deep tech categories. This commercial and critical recognition underscores his status as a rising figure in the global house music scene.
