Maximilian Skiba

This artist is a secret which I've kept the lid on for some years now. I knew my friends wouldn't appreciate his genius and although I've been meaning to do a tribute mix for some time, it would be a disservice to his music; it's really not made for mixing.

If you like Bangkok Impact or any of the old synth guys like Vangelis, Kraftwerk or Giorgio Moroder you should appreciate this.

This is my favourite tune of his. The main melody is alien, human, sad, happy, futuristic and vintage, all at the same time.

This one is nice too:

Harder stuff:

He plays most of his stuff on actual keyboards, and I think it shows. I have a couple of really great live sets which have a very authentic feel of improvisation to them.

Really?

I've never one seen his name mentioned anywhere, even in a setlist. It's pretty surprising that music like this was signed to Boxer; that's how I found him. At the time I was really into Duoteque, Ekkohaus and some of the other acts on that label.
