Max Peterson has been performing and releasing his unique brand of trance music under various project names since 1998. Max was born in San Diego, California in 1979, and spent most of his teenage years in France. He then developed his production and performance skills in California, Mexico, Spain, and every part of the planet with a vibrant trance scene

Max’s passion for music began at a young age. Max’s father Gary Peterson is a highly accomplished composer, guitarist, and keyboard player. Gary was a member of influential 60’s-70’s cult band “Formerly Fat Harry”. His band played next to legends such as Pink Floyd, Roy Harper, Third ear band, King Crimson, Fleetwood mac, to name a few… Max’s first tracks were recorded and produced by Gary when Max was just 14 years old.

Upon moving to the U.S., Maxx joined the pioneering trance music collective and record store – The Ion Exchange in Santa Cruz - as co-owner and resident DJ. Maxx moved onto DJ’ing in San Francisco, playing for all the Bay Area's trance venues including the trance collective CCC. He also performed at all the underground warehouse and outdoor events in Northern California. Max quickly gained respect for his stomping deep psychedelic sets. At this time he also toured Canada and other cities in the USA.

In 2000, Max formed the seminal San Francisco trance project BIODEGRADABLE with Samy Guediche of CPU, and Nicolas Oesch of Mekkanikka. In 2001, they released their album Phaser which received great success at the time in the psychedelic scene and became a springboard for all members to launch their successful solo projects.

In 2001, Max joined up with Davina Elmosnino and formed the trance project Sirius Isness. Sirius Isness went on to release more than 150 tracks on prestigious trance labels. Sirius releases 3 full length albums “Resolution of Duality, Breaking the Matrix , Trancefusion” and 1 compilation. The first album was released on Moon Spirits records in 2004, the second on Mind Control Records in 2005, and the third was released in 2006 on Phantasm records, accompanied by their compilation, Mind Your Own Isness. Sirius Isness has traveled to almost every country where trance parties happen. Their most popular destinations are Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, Greece, Australia to name a few.

Max, then started in his solo project in 2007- MAD MAXX- the result of years of hard work, perfecting a unique sound, embodying all the travels, experiences and parties of the past 20 years. The music is a mix of trance, ethnic and deep sounds, with a strong kick and ominous bass line, an electro touch, emotional chants, and at times nostalgic atmospheres, with a BPM ranging from 138 to 145 in general. All of this sonic mayhem delivered in a whirlwind of psychedelia of course....

The first MAD MAXX album "AFTERWORLD", was released May 2008 on PHANTASM records. The second MAD MAXX album was released in June 2011 on UNITED BEATS RECORDS. MAD MAXX's 3rd album will be out end of 2017 on UNITED BEATS RECORDS….

Be ready for another mystical journey into the inner self...

I am super happy to announce that I am one of the newest members of Alchemists Pact Records thanks to Ben BenSolo and all the rest of the family !!!! It is an honour and privilege. Can’t wait to make some magic happen with you all!

ꐠ ALCHEMIST ROSTER ADDITION ALERT ꐠ

Balistx a démarré en jouant de la hard house et de la trance, sur tables tournantes en 1999, puis il est passé à l'acid techno en 2001 et a commencé à jouer dans de raves d'entrepôt et des soirées en plein air sur l'île de Vancouver et à Edmonton.
C'est lors d'une soirée nommée IV303 qu'il découvre Analog P***y et par la même la psytrance, à quoi il est converti de suite et n'est jamais revenu en arrière. En 2004, il a déménagé en Nouvelle-Zélande et se produit en explorant tous les sous genres dans d'innombrables open airs du solstice et de l'équinoxe, ainsi que des résidences consécutives dans quelques clubs de renommée mondiale à Christchurch. Le style de mixage de Brandon s'apparente à la lecture d'une histoire envoûtante de magie et d'émerveillement, la progression est un élément clé de ses sets fascinants qui vous garderont dans une frénésie. Balistx est depuis revenu à Vancouver B.C. et a pris d'assaut la scène. Jouant son style caractéristique de dark forest, combiné à sa présence scénique à haute énergie, vous ne pourrez pas quitter le dancefloor c'est garanti.
Nous l'avons découvert à Vancouver au début de l'année 2023 et nous sommes tombés amoureux de la personne et de l'artiste instantanément.
Bienvenue dans la famille.

Balistx started djing back in 1999 on turntables playing hard house and trance , then he moved onto acid techno in 2001 and began playing at small warehouse raves and outdoor parties in Vancouver island and Edmonton . While he was living on the island he then attended a party called IV303 where Analog P***y were playing and that night he was converted to a psy trance lover and never looked back . In 2004 he moved to New Zealand and played psy in all its forms at countless Solstice and Equinox open airs as well holding consecutive residencies in a couple of world renowned Christchurch dance clubs. Brandons style of mixing is akin to reading an entrancing story of magic and wonder , progression is a key element of his mesmerizing sets that will keep you in a frenzy on the dance floor. Balistx has since relocated to Vancouver B.C. and has taken the scene by storm. Playing his signature style of dark forest and ritualistic dark psy, combined with his high energy stage presence, you won’t be able to stop dancing and that’s a guarantee.
We discovered him in Vancouver in early 2023 and fell in love with the person and the artist instantly.
Welcome to the family.
