I first met Max in person, it was at a Peruvian restaurant in Upper Darby at an after hours rave on Saint Patrick's Day. Say that 3 times fast. The sheer eccentricity of the evening was very APA. Max greeted me by saying he was familiar with my work, specifically Tarot, and of course that boosted my Ego; we ended up getting along soon after. Even though Max is younger than me, it became clear very quickly Max was already a veteran. We nerded out about Boys Noize and DJ Qu, and I was excited to hear his set based off of my brief first interaction and his diverse taste in dance music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen he played, I was really impressed with how confident he was in playing a wide range of tracks I never heard of, and how deliberate he was in pushing unconventional blends in a very polished way. I knew this dude was going places, so we kept in touch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFast forward two years, and I was able to have him at our APA monthly residency at Silk City in Philly before COVID-19 struck. It was an intimate evening, and Max closed the night out to a group of hungry underground heads into obscure, nasty cuts. At this point, Max is definitely part of the APA family, so it was essential to have him contribute a mix to our podcast series early on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMax Sprauer delivers this month a unique, progressive, 2 hour journey into the Abyss. Branching out from his harder hitting acid house stylings, this minimal mix will hypnotize you. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJust coming back from a live stream with Anthony Parasole and Lauren Flax, not even a pandemic can hold Max Sprauer back. Enjoy this exclusive APA mix, and see why I am so excited about one of New York's most rising stars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43064363810934,"sku":null,"price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/8813\/4774\/files\/APA_efb06c40-650d-4760-a7b5-709b8f759512.webp?v=1771162319","url":"https:\/\/ancientpuzzlearts.myshopify.com\/products\/ancient-puzzle-arts-podcast-04-max-sprauers-altered-states-selection-mix","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
