Maxime Dangles made his debut on KOMPAKT back in 2006 with ?Noemie', and was soon after
snapped up as a core artist on the labels roster. Maxime went on to release material with the likes of
Bedrock, Boyznoize, Skryptom and Scandium off the back of his inaugural single and his success,
patience and passion soon led him to produce remixes for some of the world's most famous electronic
artists such as, Moby, Röyksopp, Miss Kittin & the Hacker, Simian Mobile Disco, Oxia and most
recently, Green Velvet. Maxime now maintains a busy touring schedule as a DJ as well, gracing the
decks at the likes of Rex Club, Bergain/Panorama Bar, Goa and TomorrowLand, which stands as
testament to Maxime being one of France's finest exports in the world of electronic music.
Opening up the single is ?Around', a boomy up-tempo Techno cut, constructed around penetrating
rhythms, piercing stab sequences and rumbling low-end. Maxime then introduces eerie, tonal
atmospheric sweeps into the depths of the background to build tension, while baroque structural
changes make for an energetic listen.
Title cut ?Epur' is up next, embracing a similar heady aesthetic with galvanic stab lines, earthshattering
sub bass and an ever-blossoming dynamism, in contrast to the sharp changes of the
preceding track, Dangles opts for a smoother more subtle progression with ?Epur' with it's gradually
evolving feel.
We then see the package rounded off with ?ThonQ', rounding off the package brilliantly as we see
Maxime veer into dub territories, fusing weighty analogue drums with drawn-out, echoing chord stabs
and sporadic expansive reverb bursts to create yet another intense darkroom dance floor workout.
