MAX GRAHAM :: Canada
CYCLES Album tour
www.myspace.com/djmaxgraham

New York, NY Max Graham presents Cycles, the long awaited double disc mix compilation out this July on Armada Records. His breakthrough single Airtight in 2000 garnered international recognition from Pete Tong and Paul Oakenfold; since then Max has released 20 original tracks and more than 30 remixes. In 2008 Max teamed up with Armin Van Buuren’s comprehensive record label, Armada Music, to distribute his Re*brand record label worldwide. Cycles is among the first releases following this powerhouse partnership.

The two disc Cycles compilation contains Max’s original productions and remixes, as well as tracks from today’s hottest artists. CD one begins with driving bass-lines and sparkling melodies, mixing in weighty Detroit chords and a bumping classic house vibe, and ending with trippy space synths. CD two launches almost immediately into peak hour bangers, taking the intensity up a notch with a broad sound scape and dirty progressive beats, yet finishing with euphoric, Baleric vocals. The album is a diverse musical journey, with Max’s eclectic musical tastes and years of experience reflected in the wide range of tracks. “I love music and so many different styles turn me on,” says Max. “It’s been written that you can leave the room for 20 minutes when I’m DJing and come back to a completely different style of house music.” His sound is constantly evolving; masterfully combining pure house music with his own favorite tracks from a variety of dance music genres including progressive and techno.

His numerous productions are matched by his relentless touring, leaving Max with over 60 countries worth of stamps in his passport from years of gigs around the globe... Now touring in support of Cycles, he has dates throughout North & South America and Canada in the second half of 2008. Catch Max in a city near you and Cycles in stores and on iTunes July 14th.
