This is a project that i had for a while now ... It's what's MUSIC AS LIFE is about...
the ultimate soundtrack of my life.
This mix contains the tracks that stroked me the most in my music lover's life.
I instantly fell in love with each of those Masterpieces at first listen. 
From Early 70's to our days from Soul to deep electronica via african-Jazz, afrobeat and avant-guard all those tracks have in common that endless deep spinning and running hypnotic groove that will take you places you wish to stay...

Originally from France, Max started DJing in Paris which was his home before moving to Melbourne in 2003. 
Co-Owner/Manager of renowned Melbourne record store Alley Tunes, MAXVEGAS is totally immersed into music. Veteran of the DJ circuit, Max is well remembered for his long-term Saturday night residency at the very iconic now defunct St. Jerome's where he was delivering a 5 hours set on a weekly basis for 5 years until it closed down. Over his 20 years in Melbourne Max has been holding many residencies as well as guest spots in many bars, Clubs, Warehouse Parties and Festivals like Rainbow Serpent, Earthcore, Maitreya, Strawberry Fields, Yemaya, Big Day Out, Kiss My Grass, Stereosonic New Caledonia.
His love for the groove led him to collect a wide range of music on vinyl. 
Techno, House, Funk, Disco, Boogie, AfroBeat, Jazz, Dub, Reggae, Trip-hop, Hip-Hop spanning all eras from the 70's to today's most sophisticated sounds.
No matter what he plays on the day it will always be about the journey for listeners and dancers.
Like in the old school DJ tradition his sets are orchestrated winding through space and time with unlimited dynamic range crafting moods and feelings.
Max has been running his events ''MUSIC AS LIFE'' where he invites locals and international Dj's and Musicians that design their lives around music.
