Max Graham is back

well I didn�t know that Max Graham was registered on this board or even read here, but apparently he read a post of mine and was somewhat inspired Max Graham has been one of my favorite producers for a while now, from his older classics such as Airtight to newer tracks like Does She Know Yet & Automatic Weapon. When I first heard his tracks my ears easily picked up on how Max�s sound stood out; the quality and uniqueness was hard to miss, those haunting chords, chugging basslines etc made his music memorable, both kickass and melodic.
dangerous music to drive to as well.
However, in the past year or two I felt that Max�s tracks were lacking and the obvious change in direction he chose wasn�t up to his usual caliber. At some point, he read my disappointed comments somewhere on this board and I received a pm about a week ago from Mr. Max man himself, which read:

i would have to agree with you... like what happened to what i used to make?

anyway its all coming back as i sat down and listened to some of my old stuff...

keep your eye on the new stuff and you'll hear the melody and strings are back.

sometimes it just takes a little post likes yours to wake me up

And yes, the Max man is back indeed. If you�re a fan of his you could judge for yourself at http://www.maxgraham.com/licensing/
There�s a string of freshly produced and as yet unreleased newbies that I was more than happy to see-one listen to that Roland Klinkenberg remix or the Purple Code remix, or Max�s original Carbine, and I felt happy that Max has decided to go back to that kickass style again and stay away from the electro bandwagon that should by now be rolled off a hill for good.
I�m glad he takes into serious consideration the words of fans such as myself who truly appreciate his trademark sound. also proud to know that my words had some part in influencing the man to go back to using that golden touch again! welcome back, Max!

Max is solid. We've had him in NY a few times and he never dissapoints.

I've always wanted to see Max but always missed him WMC.

I had to bring this thread back...

Max's new remix of Santiago Nino's "Believe" is a bomb and a half. It has tHE same bassy pads as 'Stoppage Time.' Old Max is back!

MAX GRAHAM PRESENTS �CYCLES�
RELEASE DATE: AUGUST TBC
LABEL: ARMADA RECORDS

Max Graham makes a welcome and long-overdue return to the mix album arena with �Cycles�, his first double-disc album for over 6 years. Since his break-out smash �Airtight� back in 2001 Max has steadily been building a reputation as an exceptional DJ and producer, with the musical prowess and technical ability to rival anyone you care to mention!

As always with Max at the helm, the journey across the two discs is as diverse as it is energetic� From moments of house and techno brilliance right through to the melodic numbers Max is famed for. The mix twists and turns in a way that propels you to listen throughout, keeping you in suspense.

Max�s own �Intro� sets the wheels in motion on CD1 with it beat-less atmospheric textures that sounds reminiscent of classic mix albums of days gone by. Analog People in a Digital World follow with �The Envelope of Life� which pierces through the pads of the intro and sets the tone of the disc with its driving bass and fleeting sparkles of melody. By the time track 3, Oliver Moldam & Patric La Funk�s �Good Fellas� swerves into the picture, you can sense that Max is already delivering a no-nonsense mix simply by eschewing the meandering tendencies warm-up sets usually descend into. The track is stuffed with weighty Detroit chords, giving a house vibe to an already varied sound palette.

The first of Max�s own productions arrives in the form of �Frozen�, a track that typifies the sound of the disc with its tightly wound, highly compressed grooves and momentary flashes of melodic brilliance. Never one to travel directly in a straight musical line, Max later steers the mix back into housier territory with Patch Park�s �Got That Mi� which precedes David Tort, DJ Ruff & DJ Disciple�s �Destination�, another of the Chicago-influenced tracks on the disc. As Lemon 8�s �New York, New York� seamlessly slides into the frame Max moves through the gears, pushing things towards the more melody rich end of the house spectrum. His own mix Of Roland Klinkenburg�s �Dusty Horizons� further emphasises the rising peak time energy that has formed, before the disc is rounded off perfectly by Analog People in a Digital World�s �Violet Trip�, a track that does exactly as it suggests with it�s trippy, other-worldly synths and luscious melodies.

Disc 2 begins in a similar manner to the first with Max�s �Intro� although second time around the swirling pads are punctuated by more defined and immediately peak-time sounds through Tim Le & Wollion�s �Bodymovin�. The Kos track �Zero to Hero� follows and again the intensity levels are taken up a notch with its broad soundscape and driving progressive beats. Max�s remix of Marcus Schossow�s �Sweedish Beatballs� enters the fray around the halfway point, throwing huge portions of melodic goodness over the now fully-charged beats.

Again showing-off his diversity in selection, Max slides in Mat Zo �Fumar� that brings a wonderfully Baleric vibe to the disc with its massive Spanish guitar-infused breakdown. As the mix reaches its summit Max offers a welcome vocal passage through Whelan & Discala�s remix of his own track �I Know You�re Gone� which poises the mix delicately for the final straight. Mitiska & Medina�s massive �After Hours Ensemble� rounds off the journey in fine euphoric style.

As Max explains, �I love music and so many different styles turn me on, it�s been written that you can leave the room for 20 minutes when I�m DJ�ing and come back to a completely different sound�.

For a taste of the many shades of house, techno and beyond, this two disc collection is a perfect illustration of where Max Graham, one of the decades finest DJ�s and producers, is at right now.

A&R Manager of Armada Records, Sander Bouma says �It�s a big honour and pleasure to have Max on board of the Armada and with this compilation he once again shows us his exceptional musical taste. The CD�s have both been on repeat in the Armada office since we got the masters in!�
