--- ENGLISH VERSION ---
Max Leto is a 19-year-old French DJ coming from the Côte D’Azur in South France.
From a very young age he has always been surrounded by music, which influenced him in many ways and enriched his music culture. 
Throughout the years he has experimented with a variety of genres such as Soul Music, Funk, Electro, Reggae and Rock. 
And so, naturally he started experimenting with some instruments. The first one was the piano, but relatively quickly, he switched for drums, which he played for 8 years.
With time his musical taste became more refined and in 2012 he discovered the “underground” world of Techno Music.  Joseph Capriati was the DJ that inspired Max to start recording. 
Encouraged by his friends from Aix-En-Provence, France (https://soundcloud.com/mr-hart and Overload https://soundcloud.com/overloadofficial) , he decided to buy some equipment and get down to business. 

In one year, he succeeded to get relatively known by uploading podcast and records from nightclubs with some exclusives (promo tracks), and he benefits from some valuable feedback from friends, artists and followers, thanks to whom he got some outside perspective.

In his sets, Max tries to play with his heart, to feel the rhythms and to move the listeners. He uses techno to try and synchronise the heartbeat with the bass line, he tries to influence people on an emotional level, performing sometimes very energetic and powerful, and sometimes simply melodic and flying. His sets can be seen like sea’s surface, with big waves of energy and some breaks to take some rest and explode as re-drops just after.


This young artist knows how to appeal to both purists and newbies of the Techno scene by always adapting his performance to the ( taste of the ) public he is playing for.

In a world of ever recycled trends, Tiefschwarz (deep black) is that most classic of shades. Its timeless style is testament to its staying power, and with a DJ and production career spanning over 14 years, this German deep house duo have proven just how apt a moniker can be. Born and bred in Stuttgart, brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz’s passion for techno and deep house flourished their initial experience as DJs in the early 90’s at the now legendary clubs that Ali ran in their home town, ON –U and Red Dog. This led to the formation of Tiefschwarz in 1997, from which they found rapid success with their debut single ‘Music’ (on Francois K’s Wave Music label) and album Ral 9005. By 2001, this had been licensed to the London label Classic Recordings from where they springboarded to international recognition. They decided to make the move to Berlin, at the time fast becoming the epicentre of a true electronic music renaissance, from where they pursued a hectic touring schedule and remixing the likes of Cassius, The Rapture, Missy Elliott, Kelis and their personal heroes Masters At Work. They then scored a double whammy with their all-conquering crossover hit remix of Spektrum’s ‘Kinda New’ and the single ‘Isst’ off their 2005 long-player, ‘Eat Books’. This was also the year that electrohouse dominated the charts and minimal the clubs, but Tiefschwarz have never allowed themselves to be tied down to a certain sound, staying true to their love of melody as demonstrated on their contribution to the Fabric mix series that year.
A series of high profile mixes in 2006, including Depeche Mode, Madonna, Roxy Music, Booka Shade, Phonique, Plastikman, dOP, and many others saw them continue perfecting their distinctive sound. Yet this was also the year in which Ali and Basti gravitated back to Berlin to found their own label, Souvenir. Basti explains “We like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. Something intimate that you remember”. They haven’t let this slow down their impressive production workload though, with a ten year anniversary compilation and a 2010 follow up album ‘Chocolate’ made in collaboration with Santé, and featuring Cassy, Seth Troxler, Dave Aju amongst others. At a perfect time to take stock of their career, the brothers are proudly contributing the ninth installment in the Watergate mix series, and have chosen a number of tracks that simultaneously pay homage to the tracks that shaped the beginnings of their career whilst also remaining very much forward looking. After years of constant touring, however, their Souvenir label has allowed them to lay down more permanent roots back in Berlin. It’s a place to foster talent, both young and old, not only in a sense of releasing records but also as a platform to share mutual experiences within a common network, a close core of artists work together including Ruede Hagelstein, Maher Daniel, the brothers Santé and Re.You, Ali &amp; Basti at the helm. With plenty more artists on the roster as well as a digital only subsidiary, Souvenir Plus, and a debut LP from Hagelstein on the horizon, there is promise of plenty yet to come for the Schwarz brothers’ imprint.
