A four-track package by Parisian producer and DJ, Maxime Iko.
Having cut his teeth in the early 00s Paris underground scene, Maxime has enacted a lifelong commitment to
supporting alternative queer nightlife, and brings to the table a deep passion for dark, sensual beats.
With his third EP for BPitch, he explores a fine-tuned affinity for gothic aesthetics and heavy rhythmic
frameworks, crafting four expertly arranged cuts of wonderfully eerie techno for the early hours.

The cheekily titled ‘Work Babe’ jumps onto a funked-up bassline for one last spiral at the end of the night.

‘CRTSTTURLGTN’ opens with flecks of acid floating around in space, before quickly descending into madness with a powerful kick and heady distortions.

Having cut his teeth in the early 00s Paris underground scene, Maxime started out his career as a DJ alongside DJ Wild at the infamous Les Bains Douches, before going on to launch his own queer parties - ‘Cockorico’ and ‘Le Bal Con’ - enacting a deep commitment to supporting alternative queer scenes, and a growing passion for dark, sensual beats. As a current resident of Ellen Allien’s We Are Not Alone parties, he possesses a learned understanding of how to build precise sonic atmospheres that are tense and beautiful in equal measure.

With his third EP for BPitch - Earth - Maxime explores a fine-tuned affinity for gothic aesthetics and heavy rhythmic frameworks, crafting four expertly arranged cuts of wonderfully eerie techno for the early hours.

‘CRTSTTURLGTN’ opens with flecks of acid floating around in space, before quickly descending into madness with a powerful kick and heady distortions.

With ''Do You Think @bout Me'', Maxime plummets us into an alternate world of echoey glitches and haunting vocals driven by a hammerdrill pattern of hi hats and snares. Opening up into vaster expanses, title track ‘Earth’ takes its foot off the gas briefly for a slightly sparser cut of ambient-influenced techno that feels like an acid trip in the woods at night. Finally, the cheekily titled ‘Work Babe’ jumps onto a funked-up bassline for one last spiral at the end of the night.

Earth is an homage to the spaces that have influenced Maxime throughout a lifetime of commitment to supporting the underground.

It’s also an irresistibly danceable package of sleazy, unrelenting techno.
