-----

Having cut his teeth in the early 00s Paris underground scene, Maxime started out his career as a DJ alongside DJ Wild at the infamous Les Bains Douches, before going on to launch his own queer parties - ‘Cockorico’ and ‘Le Bal Con’ - enacting a deep commitment to supporting alternative queer scenes, and a growing passion for dark, sensual beats. As a current resident of Ellen Allien’s We Are Not Alone parties, he possesses a learned understanding of how to build precise sonic atmospheres that are tense and beautiful in equal measure.

With his third EP for BPitch - Earth - Maxime explores a fine-tuned affinity for gothic aesthetics and heavy rhythmic frameworks, crafting four expertly arranged cuts of wonderfully eerie techno for the early hours.

‘CRTSTTURLGTN’ opens with flecks of acid floating around in space, before quickly descending into madness with a powerful kick and heady distortions.

With ''Do You Think @bout Me'', Maxime plummets us into an alternate world of echoey glitches and haunting vocals driven by a hammerdrill pattern of hi hats and snares. Opening up into vaster expanses, title track ‘Earth’ takes its foot off the gas briefly for a slightly sparser cut of ambient-influenced techno that feels like an acid trip in the woods at night. Finally, the cheekily titled ‘Work Babe’ jumps onto a funked-up bassline for one last spiral at the end of the night.

Earth is an homage to the spaces that have influenced Maxime throughout a lifetime of commitment to supporting the underground.

It’s also an irresistibly danceable package of sleazy, unrelenting techno.

It's hard to overlook Maxime Iko, a regular on the techno scene, as comfortable in production as behind the decks and now under the guidance of the techno label B.Pitch. From an early age, he sparked the Parisian night within the Cockorico collective and their Bal'con nights from Rex Club to Badaboum, rubbing shoulders with his favorite DJs and quietly fine-tuning his skills. He now proudly represents the rave and queer scene, from Paris to Berlin: you can encounter him alongside Ellen Allien for the WE are Not Alone events, and recently in a very noticed set for the open air Wonderland. He serves up a mental and brutal techno with acid comebacks that oscillates towards psytrance. His latest track is a must-listen and he also excels in remixes as recently with Skorri for his release of remixes from his EP GOAHEAD!   Whether in warm up or peak time set, in b2b or in production, from lavish clubs to the most odious squats, he delights in all disciplines. Each of his appearances is an ode to the night, a bit like at midnight, when you blow out your candles, with excitement you catch your breath to finish in style. There is that in Maxime Iko, a joy of excellence, a hypnotic connection with the rhythm.

[FR]

Difficile de passer à côté de Maxime Iko, cet habitué de la scène techno, aussi à l’aise à la production que derrière les platines et aujourd’hui sous la houlette du label techno B.Pitch. Très tôt, il étincelle la nuit parisienne au sein du collectif Cockorico et leurs soirées Bal’con du Rex Club au Badaboum, côtoie ses djs préférés et affine tranquillement ses gammes. Il représentante aujourd’hui dignement la scène rave et queer, de Paris à Berlin : on peut le croiser aux côtés d’Ellen Alien pour les soirée We Are Not Alone, et dernièrement lors d’un set très remarqué pour l’open air Wonderland. Il sert une techno mentale et brutale aux remontées acid qui oscille vers la psytrance. Son dernier track est à écouter de toute urgence et il excelle aussi dans les remix comme récemment avec Skorri pour sa compil de Remixes de son EP GOAHEAD !   Que ce soit en warm up ou en peak time set, en b2b où à la prod, des clubs fastueux aux squats les plus odieux, Il se plait dans toutes les disciplines.  Chacun de ses passages est une ode à la nuit, un peu comme à minuit, lorsqu’on souffle ses bougies, avec excitation on reprend sa respiration pour finir en beauté. Il y a des çà chez Maxime Iko, une joie de l’excellence, une connexion hypnotique avec le rythme.

Maxime Iko - Dantesque (original mix)

Maxime Iko is a parisian and self made DJ and producer. Born in 1982, he was at first a passionate clubber, fascinated by music, hanging out in Paris clubs like Rex Club or Le Pulp. Passion for music soon became voracious and took over the rest. In 2008 he started mixing at the famous Paris club „Les Bains Douches“ with Dj Wild. Then producing in 2011 when he joined Steve Lawler’s label Viva Music with his first release „Voiture Pullman“. His music is influenced by his interest in cinematography, in gothic and gay culture. Pitched down vocals, atmospheric Synths, slapping claps & funked up basslines. Whatʼs most important to him in music is groove & sensuality. Maxime Iko initiated in 2011 the gay party „Cockorico“ at Rex Club, Paris with Stefan Beutter mixing techno and sexy people. In 2014, they created „Le Bal Con“ mixing all kinds of crowds dancing like crazy to the sound of electronic music and enjoying outrageous art performances happening on stage or through the audience. Maxime played with DJs like Ellen Allien, Miss Kittin, Vitalic, Oliver Huntemann, Gui Borrato, Marc Houle, Efdemin, John Talabot, Todd Terje, Marc Houle, Heartthrob, Troy Pierce… In 2012 Maxime started a new experience designing the sound dressing of Steffi Christiane’s fashion show in Paris. In 2015 he started a collaboration with french producer Markus Gibb (Lumber Noire) creating 3 EPs under the name IKO&GIBB on the label Tici Taci. He’s now joining Bpitch for an upcoming EP.
