6AM :  How did you end up producing and mixing?

Max Le Daron: I was producin for at least 8 years, small crappy stuff as training on different softwares, that became more serious during my sound engineer studies, where i acquired the basics that allows me to work properly, can call my work productions (in a serious way) since three years now.

I came to mix naturally, being in a rock band and listenin more and more electro, i started deejayin as a necessity to express my environment, as i produced more “bailable” musics.

6AM : Can you name some of your major influences?

Max Le Daron: 2 Unlimited, Confetti’s, Mike Patton, Kerry King, Damas Gratis, Los Del Rio, Franky Vincent

6AM : What means MDD for you ?

Max Le Daron: This is where all started, only on thing to say: R.I.P. MDD

6AM : How do you see the belgian electro scene?

Max Le Daron: It’s hot,there’s of course Highbloo and his buddy Vhyce gainin exposure each day on the scene, there’s a new label Lowup peeps and i are settin up too…and so many kids starting to sound really good, like Factor J, Brussels based youth who’ll make his name for sure.

6AM :  How do you see the next months ?

Max Le Daron: Personally, i want to work on my forthcoming EPs, collabs with MCs and musicians, a tour in Mexico is about to set up too…

Musically,i don’t get this comeback to techno, a musical genre that doesn’t evolve for ten years, to me. It’s probably due to MDMA’s comeback in clubs, and maybe all these “tropical house” house bitches who produces empty and soul-less tracks,bored the audience way too fast.
