“A world in collapse where machines take over, a world overpopulated, that suffocates, that suffers where humans take refuge in abandoned factories and where the only memory is the grey smell of metal!“

Max Durante started his endeavours in the Italy of the late 1980s, his DJ sets inspired by New Beat, EBM and acid, and went on to create a string of underground techno tunes. His music has never denied his industrial and electro roots, from his first releases on Hot Trax to the more recent ones on Sonic Groove or aufnahme + wiedergabe that you will find in all kinds of industrial techno playlists frequently.

Having relocated to Berlin in 2014, he is still forging the evolution of his sound, and “Der graue Geruch nach Metall“ [The Grey Smell of Metal] makes no exception. Muscle is nothing without the mind, so the framework of techno kicks comes on firmly, but remains unobtrusive, leaving room for rumbling sub-bass and atmospheric layers of sounds and samples. The track titles suggest critical thinking and philosophical ambition; the album follows a storyline, but leaves enough room for interpretation. What sounds like compromise is really the most determined pursuit of a producer getting it just right!
