Maxx Gerard (bürgerlicher Name: Markus Gerard, geboren am 15.5.1974 in Linz) ist DJ, Organisator, die treibende Kraft hinter SCHALLDRUKK und aus der oberösterreichischen Hall of Fame kaum wegzudenken.
Seine DJ Karriere begann im Jahr 1988. Im Jahr 2000 wechselte er die musikalische Richtung und hat sich seitdem einem breiten Spektrum der elektronischen Musik von Techno, Goa, Electro, Tribal und Low Minimal über Acid Trance verschrieben. Zu dieser Zeit wurde er hauptsächlich durch Van Bass inspiriert und beeinflusst.

Im selben Jahr begann er auch als Co-Organisator von “TECHNOELEMENT” und gründete die “SCHALLDRUKK” Gruppe, bestehend aus Maxx Gerard und seinen guten Freunden, die seine Leidenschaft, einzigartige Events abseits der kommerziellen elektronischen Veranstaltungen zu organisieren und aufstrebende DJs zu promoten, teilen.
Seine FAIR PRICE EVENTS mit dem gewissen Spirit und seine legendären 3-deck´s-sessions machen ihn zu einem aussergewöhnlichen Teil der Linzer Szene.

Zur Zeit arbeitet sein Team an kleinen Projekten und unterstützt namhafte Organisatoren, die sich gegen die Kommerzialisierung der Stahlstadt verschworen haben und das Motto "TECHNO ist nicht nur MUSIK, sondern eine Lebenseinstellung" mit ihnen teilen. Gute Musik steht dabei an erster Stelle und nicht die Ausbeutung des Partyvolkes! Bei seinen Events ist das Zusammenspiel der Gäste mit dem Veranstalter spürbar, welches geprägt ist von der Harmonie, dem Ideenreichtum, seiner Leidenschaft für die Musik und natürlich von der Vielfalt der elektronischen Styles.

------------------ MUSIC IS LOVE --- stay tuned!!!-------------------

I’m a DJ I’m 28 years old I come from a tight knit family. Creativity also runs in my family and I like to be artistic with music I love all genres like my uncle Juan Atkins so I too have an appreciation for Good Music. I grew up in Detroit my whole life and I love my city and proud of the history of electronic music not just because my uncle is the Godfather father of Detroit Techno. No! I’m proud of the Movement that he was a part of creating and the fact that High Tech Soul, Detroit Techno, Electronic Music brings people together from all walks of life, all races, creeds, and ages under a groove, dancing together peacefully. The music is very powerful and it’s internationally nurtured. I want to be part of the next generation to spread the movement of peace in sound so my Uncle Juan knows that everything he did was not in vain

. “Keeping it in the family,” is an understatement because has been instrumental 
figure in the Techno scene since the early age of 8. As the nephew of “The Godfather,” music 
runs deep within his bloodline serving as the resident DJ for Metroplex records. Under the tutelage of Uncle Juan; Aaron, was introduced to the wheels of steel, by compiling his first mix of 
Clear by Cybotron, and Mike Banks’ Illuminator. In addition to performing at “EVERY” Detroit Electronic Music Festival [DEMF] since its conception in 2000, the Cork Town Music Festival as well 
as, various night clubs all in Detroit; at 21 Atkins is well on his way to keeping the family name 
ongoing for decades to come. Atkins’ states “ I want to keep my uncles legacy and record labelMetroplex on the charts with new and innovative music, while following in his footsteps by presenting my music to the world.” This protégé is definitely in the process of doing just that with diligence and persistence toward attaining his goals in and outside of the studio. We should look 
forward to his EP release also collabs from his cousin Chris worthy
