vengo escuchando este ser en el carro con mi hijo de 8 años y me dice : papá está muy jugosa está canción ...... si... esta muy jugosa 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 right on point.  🙏🫰🙏

Love this track! I think heard it NYE in Tulum! Who's got the ID??

Deep playa, Wednesday night then turning into Thursday morning, the sky is clear, the full moon is shining bright on us. 
And me standing on top of the deer asking myself, is this real…?

Thank you Maxa family for gifting me the most memorable night ever. 

One Love.

Lato - Maxa - Burning Man 2023

Friday Morning deep playa, as heavy clouds started to cover the sky, a beautiful collection of wild burners was dancing around the Maxa and Discow art cars for this epic link-up night. This set was definitely one of the most thrilling and memorable adventure of my burn and possibly of my life too. The energy was so high. The people were so free. One of these moments where you feel the absolute beauty and perfection of the universe, everyone dancing as one. As I played my two last tracks a sandstorm mixed with rain made us all disappear into nothingness, I could barely see the decks anymore, it felt completely apocalyptic. We exploded into cosmic ecstasy of being alive, savouring what it means to be human on this planet. What an incredibly beautiful and transcending moment, thank you guys for dancing, for being a part of it, and for listening to it here!
A short while after that the heavy rains started, this was our last dance before the playa would be completely under water and held still for the week end. We sure enjoyed it fully till the last second! Grateful!!! Thank you Maxa, Thank you to every single one of you!!! Until we dance again together soon, Much much love your way! :) <3

I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience while playing this set. Being in the middle of an abandoned 200-year-old factory for such a special celebration was just EPIC. 

Everyone there was co-creating moments of magic and for this, dear dancers, I thank you 🙏 

May music rain.. 💜

Felipe Van Lagerback @ Boda De Muertos | November 2023 - Amores Experience

Boda de Muertos was an outstanding experience. Playing inside an hacienda in Atlixco with its high walls perfectly staged with the lighting was memorable. Everyone was dressed in their day of the dead outfits, and danced until sunrise.

Thanks for the trust to Deborah and the Amores Experience team!
This is a very special set for me, as its resumes the last 2 years working on this total new project which marks a milestone in my personal development as a performing artist. Many of the tracks are part of my new album which got released one week ago.

Let the music speak <3

The majority of tracks included in this set are on my new full length album "TImefades" which is available on Vinyl

In 2016 I went to -now my dear friend, back then only my favorite DJ- Mira's birthday at Kater Blau for the first time. I was super into music, making mixtapes at home, going to so many parties and writing about them but not a DJ yet.

The vibe of the club, the music in all floors, and the fact that Mira is big supporter of female acts and seeing all these badass women playing mind-blowing music at this party had its mark on me.

Watching these legends Mira, Britta, Mimi Love, Mila Stern, Caleesi, I wanted to do it myself and I found the motivation, courage and inspiration because they were also women like me! Representation is so important!

In the following years I kept going to this party for my yearly dose of inspiration and of course fun!

Over the years, inspired by Mira and being colleagues now, we became friends and her impact on my life wasn't just musical. She's such a wise and wholesome person with integrity and the heart in all in the right places, that having her as a friend and inspiration definitely made me a better person and my journey of the new international touring DJ way smoother.

in 2021 I was even supposed to play for Mira's 44th birthday for the first time but the pandemic... (I mean I don't even need to finish this sentence). I ended up playing her 44.5 in Summer, the Ersatz Katzen party :)

Anyway, fast forward to 7 years and the birthday queen not only invited me to play her 46 Katzen party but also gave me the biggest honor of taking over the stage after her.

Playing Thursday in NYC, Friday in Montreal, flying back to Europe on Saturday, Sunday noon I arrived to Berlin like a zombie. Sleep before and after the set is hard but during... Actually not that bad. I was on a dream state throughout my set.

It felt really like a dream playing in a room not too long ago gave me the inspiration to be here today celebrating a women who always lifts others up as she rises. 

I also played music from my label Marginalia, I heard Mira and Mila Stern playing Marginalia too and I also two new artists from Marginalia family, Bakayan and D’aria were In the room when I played their unreleased music! What a moment 
I stayed sleep dancing until late because of all the incredible music

what an honor to play at this unique birthday celebration, I am grateful to life

Alles gute zum Geburtstag liebe Mira and thank you for being you!

I hope you all enjoy my set

Burning Man is known for its unpredictability, and this year's experience was no exception.

Dust turned into mud and transformed the smallest trips outside into adventurous hikes just to get to the washroom. 

After being basically locked in the RV for three days and facing the prospect of a long and arduous journey back to Berlin, the news that 'The Man‘ is still going to burn came as a small redemption to the muddy world we had around us.

As some DJs already left the playa I found myself in the most lucky position to be invited to play a set during the prestigious last night of the Festival on one of the best Art Cars. Robot Heart. 

I had the honor to play their car before and felt at home right away. This time shouldn’t be different. 

Thanks guys for greeting me with family feelings and giving me the opportunity to play on your amazing car once again. 

So spontaneous and unprepared this set was it turned out to be a really good one I think.  Can’t go wrong with letting loose:) 

And as always: Thanks everybody who was there for dancing and sharing the love we all needed that night!

Ever since the first time I saw its twinkling purple lights on the playa horizon, I’ve admired the beautiful Maxa deer and held dreams of playing on it. And this year, on the Thursday night, I had the honor of leading the deer from its camp out to deep playa where it would meet countless other animal art cars in an Animalia link-up! There was talks of a storm coming, and as I boarded the deer, it began to drizzle. I said a little prayer, the rain miraculously stopped, and she began to travel. I can honestly say there is no greater feeling than the one I felt for the two hours that followed, playing music on Maxa’s majestic deer while looking out into a crowd of some of my dearest friends smiling and dancing as more animal art cars joined the party. I remember just as I finished my last track feeling so full of joy and gratitude for everyone around me— my friends, the Maxa crew, the people who stopped for a song and stayed til the end— everyone and everything, I felt so completely thankful. And in that moment, it began to rain, the wind picked up and a massive storm rolled in, almost as if to say, “You’re welcome.”

A fairytale themed evening in the woods in Northern California, amidst an open minded group of creatives. 

We enjoyed the opportunity to explore musically beyond some of the normal dance floor and venue constraints.

T.S. Eliot leads us off with a excerpted reading from the Dry Salvages... and off on our adventure we go.

"Got one more treat for you guys here today.
I am happy to share my Set from last month's Mayanwarrior Show Tehmplo Tulum.
Technically, it happened already in 2024, but as it's been the last show before my winter studio break after 2023, I gave this one extra attention.
I couldn’t have asked for a better show to end the year.
As always, thanks for dancing, guys.
I hope you enjoy it.
Chris"

Maxa is a community of friends united by threads of creativity, spirituality and the desire to do good and evolve. We create experiences and spaces that nurture deep human connections and help bring awareness of the gifts of service we all have to offer. 

Our beloved art-car and symbolic representation of our pilgrimage is an
ode to the great blue deer, glowing like a beacon of strength, compassion,
and inspiration as it dances through the desert. It is our guide, our compass,
our shaman, lighting our way as we dance together to rhythm of our hearts.
