Maeksll is a techno producer and DJ from Basel whose music is characterised by openness to different styles, but remains firmly rooted in techno. Inspired by the hypnotic sound of the early 2010s and warm house chords, he creates rhythmic yet emotional tracks. His productions are characterised by movement, subtle melancholy and nostalgia and combine repetitive structures with constant development. His DJ sets also follow this approach, focussing on groove, mood and narrative rather than trends. His focus is always on an honest, profound exploration of music, far removed from mere spectacle.

Maeksll is a techno producer and DJ based in Basel, Switzerland. Exposed to a broad range of music from an early age, his productions reflect an openness to different styles while remaining deeply rooted in techno. Influenced by the hypnotic sound of early 2010s techno and the warmth of house-leaning chords, Maeksll’s tracks aim to create an atmosphere that is both rhythmic and emotive.

His approach to production is guided by a focus on movement, subtle melancholy, and a sense of nostalgia — crafting music that resonates beyond the dancefloor. Carefully balancing repetition with evolving elements, he builds immersive experiences that invite both physical and emotional connection.

While production remains at the core of his work, his DJ sets mirror the same philosophy: selecting and layering tracks with an emphasis on groove, mood, and storytelling rather than trends. Maeksll continues to develop his sound thoughtfully, always prioritizing sincerity and depth over spectacle.
