Max Abysmal

Max Abysmal moved a long way when he left his Sydney home and settled in Amsterdam, and his music travels just as far. He is as able to lay it down in the Greenhouse as on the Selectors stage, but trying to predict what you might hear is useless: he plays across the board, from tripped-out percussive sounds to spacey jungle via a cross-section of forward-thinking Latinx electronic sounds. The dexterity of his DJing is dizzying. Within fifteen minutes he can move from a heartbreaking lo-fi soul opener to a strobe-lit gabber banger, then slow it down and speed it up several times over, smoothing irregular club rhythms into Spanish trap with room left for jungle, bass and reggaeton.
