Three gritty, hypnotic techno trips from the label head. Inchcape is a Detroit-style space adventure with jacking percussion layered on a deep, bass-heavy foundation. Hidra maintains the trippy monotony, while adding elements from Inter Gritty's recent old school offerings. Tap Mun brings you back to reality with a quirky 303 hook and a pounding 909 beat.

Inter Gritty - Inchcape

Dropping bombs is something that should be left to individuals with the necessary skills, and it is safe to say MAXIM has some expertise in this area. Starting his career as a producer & DJ 7 years ago, MAXIM has had standout appearances at Boiler Room, BCCO & Live From Earth Klub, along with his own collective First Contact. While primarily 4x4 focussed, MAXIM’s mixing style doesn’t conform to genre. His style can be often found fusing Techno and Trance with Electro, Breakbeat and UK inspired basslines. 

With that being said, MAXIM’s productions are recognised for their Trance Techno Aesthetic and have found their home on labels around the world, even as far as Colombia with his release 'Ilusion' on TnR Records and his latest Vinyl Release on Laburnūm Records. Other artists who have supported MAXIM's music are VTSS, SPF.DJ, Sara Landry, Future.666, Bailey Ibbs and more.

Whatever your personal sonic preference, if you are a fan of intense, driven groove and expert sound design then MAXIM provides this on a platter.
