Biografía
- The label head for Peer and visionary founder of Direct to Earth. Max's dedication to the craft is shaping the course of North American techno.Techno is a layered phenomenon. On the surface level is the talk, fleeting and temporary. Beneath it lies an intricate web woven by all manner of creatives and intellectuals. At the center of it all is the sound itself, and it is in this realm of sonic abstraction that you find Max Gardner. The San Francisco DJ and producer did not initially pursue electronic music with ambitions to promote himself as a brand. Doors opened nonetheless, and they never stopped. He is now one of the artists most closely associated with Bay Area techno, releasing on labels like Blank Code, Occultists, and Northern Parallels. A pivotal turning point saw Max launch a label called Peer. He set forth to introduce a techno platform free of superstar ego, prioritizing musical merit over celebrity. He's released a compelling catalog through this imprint alongside respected friends in techno such as Drumcell, Insolate, Uun, Secus, Annika Wolfe, Declan James, Cory Simpson and Knowbody. Max's often psychedelic, sometimes suspenseful, always hypnotic range of the techno spectrum has afforded him audiences in cities across the globe. He's performed at clubs like MUTE in Medellín, Leland City Club and The Works in Detroit, RSO in Berlin, and Moog in Barcelona. He’s also held residencies at all the major venues in his home base of San Francisco, including F8, 1015 Folsom, Monarch and 222 Hyde. Max is an originator of the influential Direct to Earth collective as well as a resident throughout its lifetime of 12+ years and counting. He is also a return guest at gatherings like OBSERVE in LA and The Great Beyond outside Minneapolis. His first European tour in 2023 saw him visit Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam and a gathering by Phase Collective in Madrid. Max Gardner lives for the ephemeral moments in which time stands still, where words fail, as pure and honest audio shakes every reveler to their core. To see him behind the decks is to understand that he belongs here. He knows this world intimately. His place in it is permanent.̸Declan James - Serpents Tone (Max Gardner remix) - peer Max Gardner - Delamination - Blank Code Max Gardner, Cory Simpson, Knowbody - Hellhound - peer Max Gardner, Cory Simpson, Knowbody - Gehenna - peer Max Gardner, Cory Simpson - Dynasoar - peer JAK - Hallucinations (Max Gardner's Deep Dive) - Resource Records Max Gardner - Energy Punk - peer Max Gardner - Fridays Aren't Friday Anymore - peer Max Gardner - Sea Moon - peer Max Gardner - Maxshake - peer Max Gardner - The West Coast is Back - peer Drumcell - Fallbrook (Max Gardner remix) - peer Max Gardner - Endless Variables - Oktave Max Gardner - Quench - Occultists Max Gardner - San Mai - Ommaya Max Gardner - Big Max - Mastoid Max Gardner - Plottin - Blank Code Max Gardner - Spatial - Northern Parallels Max Gardner - Spatial (Jason Patrick remix - Northern Parallels Max Gardner - Maxaroni - Northern Parallels Max Gardner - Maxaroni (Mike Derer remix) - Northern Parallels Max Gardner - Clamor Max Gardner - For Realness (Insolate remix) - peer Max Gardner - For Realness - peer Max Gardner - This is a Test (Drumcell remix) - peer Max Gardner - This is a Test - peer 888 - Caught in the Undertow (Max Gardner remix) - Witches Are Back Dean Durrant - Nacht Trip (Max Gardner remix) - Format Records Max Gardner - Love the High - Resource Records Max Gardner - Gossip Boss - Resource Records Max Gardner - Knew Wave - Resource Records Max Gardner - Scylla - Rave Code Max Gardner - Spice Blend - Occultists Max Gardner - Wooden Spoons - Occultists Max Gardner - Ancient Scriptures - Occultists Max Gardner - Deep Sleep - Occultists Max Gardner - Labrynth - Northern Parallels James Demon - Esther (Max Gardner remix) - Occultists Max Gardner - San Francisco 2020 - Fault Radio Truncate - Missing (Max Gardner Remix) - Truncate The Accomplice - Program Change (Max Gardner Rework) - Resource Records STO_IK - Static Encounter (Max Gardner remix) - Northern Parallels Max Gardner - Witching Hour - Occultists Axkan - Spasm (Max Gardner remix) - De-Konstruct Max Gardner - Broken Pinkies - Excise Max Gardner - Broken Pinkies (Yan Cook remix) - Excise Muon - KMC (Max Gardner remix) - Excise Max Gardner - Mona loops - Excise F600 - Metanoia (Max Gardner Deep Dive) - Occultists El Gato #9 - Serfdom (Max Gardner remix) - Bloo Neko Crawlie - Converging Wormhole (Max Gardner remix) - Coal Max Gardner, Seeder - Amun (Original mix) - Dark and Sonorous Max Gardner, Seeder - Amun (Rene Walther remix) - Dark and Sonorous Max Gardner, Seeder - Amun (Patrick Gil remix) - Dark and Sonorous Max Gardner, Seeder - Amun (Brian Knarfield remix) - Dark and Sonorous GO!DIVA - You I Everyone (Max Gardner Remix) - Emote Music
