It's exciting to finally have Max G contribute to the Ancient Puzzle Arts mix series. I have known Max since high school and we have kept up with each other off and on ever since. You could make the argument that Ancient Puzzle Arts would not exist without Max G, because he was the first person to introduce me to the deeper side of dance music, specifically introducing me to DJ Harvey, Theo Parrish and Audion. I got hooked on exchanging CDs with Max early on, but it wasn't until I went to Detroit Movement Festival in 2009 with him that I became as thoroughly committed to dance music as I am today. There were a lot of partying highlights between Max G and me over the years, but one particular night seeing Robag Wruhme in Detroit certainly influenced both of our music production styles to this day.
Max G is a long time veteran of dance music, both record collecting and attending various events around the East Coast, but it was only recently did he finally unload his impressive collection of music production and video installation art to the public. Max G, in addition to being a prolific and excellent music producer, is also an incredible visual artist. You can see his synesthetic blend of audio and visuals over on his website ( www.maxgroff.com/ ).
For this month's mix, Max G contributed an entire mix of all original productions. Expect deep grooves, dirty bass kicks, anxiety, euphoria, and an overall hypnotic trip via synthesis.
