mad max MAD MAXX is the solo project of Max Peterson. Max was born in San Diego, California in 1979, and spend most of his teenage years in France, and then went on to live in places such as America, Mexico, and is now residing in Barcelona, Spain. Max has been involved with the Music scene for over 10 years. After having opened with some friends one of the first trance shops in northern America in 1996 (The ion exchange), Max started his career as a Dj back in San Francisco, playing for all the Bay Area's trance heads, for groups such as the CCC, and in all the warehouse and outdoor events happening at the time. Quickly, Max gained respect for his Dj sets, and was starting to play in Canada and other cities in the USA. In the year 2000, Max joined up with some friends ( Samy Guediche , CPU) and ( Nicolas Oesch, Mekkanikka ) to create the band called BIODEGRADABLE. After some time in 2001, they released their first album called Phaser which was a great success at the time in the psychedelic scene and became a platform for all members in the future. In 2001, Max joined up with Davina Elmosnino and created the Trance Project formerly known as SIRIUS ISNESS. Receiving great success from the public, Sirius Isness went on to release countless tracks on the most prestigious labels in the trance scene, 3 albums and 1 compilation. The first album was released on Moon Spirits records in 2004, the second on Mind Control Records in 2005 and the third was released end of 2006 on Phantasm records, accompanied by their compilation , Mind your own Isness, released around the same time. Sirius Isness has travelled to almost every country where parties can happen. Their most popular destinations are Japan, Brasil, Mexico and Portugal.... Max has now started his solo project under the name of MAD MAXX. MAD MAXX is the result of many years of hard work, perfecting a type of sound, embodying all the travels, experiences and parties that have happened in the past 10 years. The music is a mix of trancey , ethnic and deep sounds, with a strong kick and solid bassline, an electro touch, emotional chants and at time nostalgic atmospheres, with a BPM range from 140 to 145 in general. All of this in a whirlwind of psychedelia of course.... MAD MAXX has already delivered his brand new live set to all trance freaks in the world and has collaborated with numerous artists...including GMS, POLI, SPACE TRIBE, MASSIVE, XSI, BIOGENESIS, PAINKILLER , MADNETIC, PUZZLE, PUREPRESSURE, VOYAGER (aka Altom) and more.... Be ready for a mystical journey to the inner self..... bionix ean-Marc Segondy was just seven years old when he started playing around with his first synthesiser, but by the time he was fifteen he was already composing songs in various styles of music. After trying many genres of electronic music including house and techno, he began to play trance at some parties in Paris as DJ Bio, soon becoming resident at the Gibus Club — an infamous club in the Parisian underground scene where the likes of Daft Punk and Bob Sinclar also cut their teeth — and where he met Barthélémy Bayona aka DJ Spawn. After playing together for a year, they decided to make a trance project together called XSI. ---------------- The first XSI album (‘Warning Zone’, released on Mind Control Records) was very successful, leading to bookings at some of the biggest international trance events such as XXXperience in Brazil, Arcadia and Action in Japan and Freedom Festival in Portugal. They’ve also played in a number of other countries including Mexico, Switzerland, Germany, India, Serbia, Russia, Spain, Nepal, Austria, England and many more.... ---------------- Currently very busy in the studio, Jean-Marc is working on several forthcoming albums. One is the much anticipated XSI Album remix with GMS, Astrix, Xerox, Krunch, Pixel, Eskimo, Even 11, Domestic and more...And for sure the 3th XSI Album for 2010 too... ---------------- Jean Marc is also beginning a new project of his own called BIONIX. As a solo project, he can now totally express himself and explore new musical horizons — always dancefloor orientated, but in a tougher style suited to night time sets. His first track, ‘Fighting Shadows’, was released immediately on new French label Escape Records, and Jean-Marc is ready on his first BIONIX album called "Technoid", expected in Feb.2010.
