German DJ and producer Maxon has become one of his native country’s most exciting and talked about artists since he exploded onto the scene. Heavily influenced by his classical music education, film scoring and role models like: Steve Angello, Hans Zimmer and Jack Trammell, he is responsible for some of the freshest and highly energetic tracks including: ‘Voltage’, ‘Tulum’, ‘Nemesis’ and ‘Tango’, releasing on renowned labels including: Big & Dirty Records, Void Records and AVANT/GARDE along the way.
Championed by A-List stars such as AN21, DubVision, Marcus Schossow, Merk & Kremont, Quintino, Delayers and Danny Avila, Maxon is just off the back of releasing his highly anticipated collaboration ‘Genesis’ with The Cliqque on Adrien Mezsi’s Mezsed Up imprint. We’ve sat down with Maxon to go through some of the tunes that shaped his influences and artistic path. Here are Maxon’s all-time top 10 tracks:
Me & My Toothbrush – Get Down, JB!
Listening to this one makes me want to take out the glitter jacket. Really like the old school funky Vibes in this record.

From the mind-blowing Techno EP “Touches/Distant” that came out on AVANT/GARDE. Love the sound design in this record.
