Berlin resident producer to the stars, DJ Maxximus has taken a big influence from the techno haven’s latest resident, Shackleton in this tribal and percussive dubstep record.

Having spun a few too many Skull Disco records in his time, Maxximus, aka Frederic Stader has adopted a different direction with his sound, adding some maliciously produced percussive beats with chest rattling bass rhythms.

With a production career that launched on Warp Records, Maxximus later went on to form his own imprint MG77 that focused around the grimey, dubstep sound associated with his ‘Bass The World’ parties in Berlin.

A league ahead in terms of production, Maxximus has not only hit with his most clinical production of late, but with something that stands completely apart thanks to the track’s ambience, percussion and distorted crowd noises being phased in and out of the bassline.

On the flip for good measure is a remix from his Berlin counterpart Shackleton who takes the whole track to the ultimate level of eastern flavoured techno-step.
