He fucking sucks and there are a lot of SF locals that would agree with me on this one. Having to hear him open for headliners at Vessel is torture. On numerous occasions we've been to Vessel for the vodka specials before 11pm and was forced to listen to Max open, and every single time his beatmatching was off and horrific transitions where one song would end and he would just jumble into the next song like no one was listening. This wasn't just a one time occurrence, but multiple venues, multiple dates, heard from multiple people around the scene. I thought he was just some shitty SF local bedroom DJ, but it was just recently (last month) I found out who he was and his productions. I will now go out of my way to make sure I am no where near where he is playing.
And this is just a rant on his DJ "talent", let's not even begin what a fucking douche this guy is. One of the worst in SF.

Oh Matt....
I know Max, he's actually a nice kid. But ya, he was doing smaller gigs around SF years back and played some SUPER cheese, and he is a pretty bad DJ. But he's got good energy, and it wasn't until recently I came across the fact he made it to top 10 on beatports prog charts. I def don't go out of my way to go see him play though More power to him though on his productions... hopefully he's crossed over from the whack ass music he used to play.
(Matt... shhh shhhh setttttle down now... )

i didn't comment earlier on this thread because i knew someone would say it better.
i think this is one of the instances where he was at the right place at the right time and the talents are just passable enough to get him by. in this case, steve angello hooked up his brother AN21, then the two of them were looking to grow their own talent pool, so they happened to hang out with max and took him on, and once your in that circle you can often BS your way around. by then you have access to lots of decent material to remix, the you remix tiesto's crappiest track ever, but at least your name is attached to that, and then you get the bookings based on that, etc.
i'd take it if it fell into my lap like that. what do i care... while you guys bitch here on TA "i'm flying to ibiza in tiesto's private jet with max and an21" <--- paraphrasing angello's twitter from last week
