Just like the vodka from his birthplace, Moscow-born Dutch-resident MAKCIM always fuels the party spirit with his intoxicating and powerful sets, mixing house and techno to create refreshingly deep and sexy grooves. And when he’s not inspiring the clubbing crowds from the vinyl decks, you’ll find him releasing quality tunes on Amsterdam imprint Remote Area, together with his music partner-in-crime, Managemend.

A colourful childhood in Russia, painted with the sounds of Joy Division, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Blondie as well as jazz greats Miles Davis and Marcus Miller, meant that by the time MAKCIM moved to the Netherlands, at the age of 12, he knew music was going to be a huge part of his life.

By 1996, inspired by the house scene, he started buying records each week and by 1999 at the age of 20, he got his first residency in a bar in Eindhoven. At the same time he began organising illegal parties and together with friends and founded a new platform called ‘Minimal Eindhoven’ which became fundamental to the Dutch house & techno scene.

In 2008, Amsterdam imprint, Remote Area, welcomed MAKCIM together with his music partner in crime, Managemend (aka Roel van Otterdijk), into the fold with the release of their first EP “Lithe”. Their collaborative genius was a powerful mix, blending MAKCIM’s perfection for cool and funky rhythms with Managemend’s brilliance for creating chunky, deep, soulful loops. It’s therefore no surprise that they’ve since been regular guests on the label with their 2nd EP ‘Red Aglet’ and track “Hid” released on the label’s debut album in 2009, then again in 2010 with the release of their EPs “Boyism” and “Fur Cage”. 

Each release unique, but always taking you on a quality sound journey to the deeper, funkier side of techhouse life with sexed up steamy vocal snippets and chunky rolling rhythms which continue to tick all the right boxes for the DJ likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Zip, Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Paco Osuna, Riva Starr, Ilario Alicante, Noir, 2000 and One….

And now, when MAKCIM is not in the studio with  Levi Verspeek crafting new tunes, he can be seen and heard spinning vinyl at Berlin’s Hoppetosse, Club der Visionaere and Arena club as well as in party hotspots across New York, Moscow, Ibiza, las Palmas, London and Copenhagen. 

Closer to home you’ll find him moving the Dutch clubbing crowds with long and sexy sets at venues such as Warehouse, Melkweg, Studio K, Paradiso, and Studio 80, as well as being a regular at festival greats such as Lowlands, Awakenings, Voltt, 5 Days Off, Static, , Loveland, Buiten Westen, Mysteryland and Welcome to the Future Festival.

With new releases on Raum Musik, Apollonia and VBX and gigs in the pipeline, it’s as clear as vodka that if you want to get funked up, then MAKCIM will mix you a perfect cocktail of house and techno tunes for deep and long all night party play.

Anton Kuertz or Daniel van Drunen in real life, is an Amsterdam based producer and house music entrepreneur being the CEO of the rapidly expanding event company/booking agency and soon to be operating record label Chasing the Hihat. He started his artistic career as an exclusive techno live act linked to a techno event concept, but at some point felt attracted to a different style of music and dialed down the BPM knob to a grooving 115-120 kicks a minute. The sound can be explained within the deep house spectrum but entails a certain roughness around the edges to avoid being compared too much to the rising hype of the melodic house movement. 

People who have seen the show however, know that everything stated above is just half the experience. alongside him on stage you will find his musical muse and vocalist Esther Milberg and his oldest friend and the CFO of their company Coen Gülcher, on the electronic accordion. This combination of back stroking vocals and a rarely seen wonderfully built electronic instrument in a live setting is something you won't come across very often in the clubbing scene.

With gigs at local festivals like Amsterdam Open Air, Float Festival, STRAF_WERK Festival and Mystic Garden festival as well as multiple bookings in Berlin at Arena Club, Chalet and Fiese Remise, this young live act, that only started doing public gigs in the beginning of 2013 is on a streak  towards international attention…
