Biografie
Though his name suggests total chaos, Maelstrom's music belies intention, focus and precision. Often marked as 'exciting newcomer' to French techno, Maelstrom has actually been making music for over fifteen years. With a cryptic history of aliases and side projects, illegal raves thrown in warehouses and fields and basements, the artist has really come into his own under this moniker.
With releases on BNR Trax, Sound Pellegrino and an undeniable staple of the Zone Records family, Maelstrom's sound has matured from ferocious electro bangers to knee-buckling techno over the last half-decade. Not one to pigeonhole himself, the artist also flexes a stirring ambient muscle, working as deftly at a pensive 100 beats-per-minute as at a roaring 135. As capable behind the decks as he is in the studio, Maelstrom has graced the decks at Berlin's legendary Berghain and Boiler Room, Paris' Rex Club and packed clubs in Asia and Australia.
2015 brings an exciting development in Maelstrom's partnership with oft-collaborator LOUISAHHH!!! as they launch RAAR, a 'punk rock label for techno heads, or a techno label for punk rockers'. Similarly, Maelstrom and fellow Frenchman Djedjotronic are exploring new sonic realms with their live machine project, Lost Echoes, which debuted at Festival Scopitone in September 2015.
It is clear that Maelstrom's storm is only beginning to brew, and that this artist is one to watch as he continues to create controlled chaos in the wild, bright future
