“I connect with my soul’s purpose when I have a broad array of music at my fingertips and a crowd willing to shapeshift deeply into the dance! I can see the energy of the people rising as their bodies keep them dancing and their joy fills the space. Then.. I am in ecstasy!”

Max Passante uses music as his mystical instrument, wielding an extraordinary talent for infusing spaces with high-vibrational energy. With an innate sense of what the dancefloor craves, Max crafts a sonic tapestry that transcends boundaries.

His style is an alchemical fusion of electronic grooves and organic soundscapes, interwoven with shamanic tribal Afro house, deep and tech beats, and earthy, glitchy rhythms. Lyrical melodies and hypnotic loops resonate, igniting a symphony within, causing your body to pulse, spirit to soar, and mind to find stillness.

Max guides journeys that traverse from shadowy tones to luminous atmospheres, weaving uplifting melodies with an intuitive grace. His sets, born in the moment, are a testament to his ability to attune to the energy-momentum of the space. He sheds the confines of the "DJ thinking mind" to become a conduit of musical expression.
