DJ Maxik - Muse Lounge

BIO:

Max started to DJ at 13, just a couple of years after moving to Charm City. Max used all of his saved lunch money, and birthday present savings to purchase a first set of decks and other DJ gear. At that time, the set up was two Pioneer CDJ-100s, a blue (but cool and long-lasting) Numark mixer, and a pair of Sony headphones that he saw Paul Van Dyk wear. Max became a huge fan of trance music, as it was fun to mix and blend different harmonies, while patiently building up tracks in hour-long sets. Cool kids in US jammed out to Eminem, DMX, Korn, Backstreet Boys, but in Europe and Asia the dance music trend was growing larger with each day. Max enjoyed mixing and making mix CDs for his friends. He spun on several internet radio stations, and regularly submitted mixes to places like TranceAddict.com and DI.fm. In 2002, Max and his friend Spike / WXT made a label VPM Records, where they posted mixes, productions, and remixes on local rock bands and popular dance tracks. The two used multiple hardware and software tools to create and perfect these tracks, but most of the work and track arrangement was done using Propellerhead's Reason.

In college, Max continued to make Global Dance mixes and played at local college events and fundraisers. Mainstream dance music scene was growing fast at popular clubs and radio stations in large cities (thanks David Guetta!) but Baltimore was still jamming to Hip-Hop, and that was and is cool. A couple of years later, after finally turning 21, Max got a residency at the Red Maple lounge on Charles street in Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore city, and played at European parties that attracted more and more people each week. Around that time, Max played for some of the prime clubs in Baltimore and DC, including Mosaic, Ibiza, SAX, Slaviya, Cazbar, Midtown, Muse, Ozio, and a local favorite right next to Towson University - 7W.
