Whether you've heard Max Vangeli's music or are unfamiliar with the artist, EDMBoston aims to bring both camps a Max Vangeli Biography of the artist career thus far; ahead of his Boston gig on Tuesday, May 1st at Bijou.
Born in Moldova, Eastern Europe, to a family of Doctors, Max found his path wasn't in the family profession. While studying economics in UC Santa Barbara, this decision became clear to him. He began focusing on producing beats during these years and learned to play instruments such as the guitar. As do most producers, Max made the transition to DJing to help promote his music.
His career as an original producer began to take traction in 2008. He produced 3 big hit songs, '
Crazed', 'iRock', and '
K.E.J.I.'. All three productions were based on house 4/4 beats and were closer sounding to european classic house tracks to anything that Max Vangeli produced as of late. The tracks didn't go unnoticed and Pete Tong's ears took to 'iRock', which premiered on his BBC radio show, The Essential Mix. on
August 22, 2008.
Max continued grinding through gigs in 2009 and also remained focused on building his catalog of originals. First up for the new year was a collaboration with Digital Lab 'Aqua Kai'. It was a sexy house beat, that made you think of a Miami Pool Party.
Max Vangeli didn't stop with one hit in 09. He produced 3 more!
'Fender Bender' was anything but a car accident. The stroke of genius continued Max's success of developing hot House music, with tribal beats and sexy synths. Max Vangeli was now dabbling in a new progressive house sound that would help influence the overall direction of progressive house ove the next two years. Max's original beat '
Exit' produced with Digital Lab in 2009, continued this succession.
With Max Vangeli's new catalog, he was beginning to draw a lot of attention. He had grown as an artist, and his ability to make dynamic tracks was caught the eye of Big names in the EDM industry. The Big names that came knocking were the Swedish House Mafia and it made Max Vangeli massive in 2010. Steve Angello and Sebastian Angello both released Max Vangeli tracks on their labels, Size and Refune, respectively.
2010 is also when AN21 (Steve Angello's brother) and Max Vangeli connected to release their first collaboration tracks. The two instantly hit it off in the production room and made arguably one of the most beautiful 'Big Room" house tracks in 'Swedish Beauty'. Max Vangeli and AN21 went on to world premier 'Swedish Beauty' on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show, where it would latter be named by Pete Tong as the coveted "Essential New Tune". With one of the greatest honors under AN21 and Max Vangeli's belt, they continued touring and producing.
Max Vangeli went on to produce another substantial hit in 2010 called 'Look into Your Heart'. The paralyzing vocals of Max C. made this track an instant DJ remix favorite.
With all Max Vangeli success in 2009 and 2010 Max received the cursed attention of MTV. MTV proclaimed Max, "One of the most promising artists for 2011". It was phenomenal marketing attention for the artist. However, 2011 was a bit of a draught year as far as productions from Max Vangeli. He stayed busy touring consistently during 2011 and played a lot of big festivals, such as Masquerade Motel in Miami and Tommorowlands.
In 2012 Max Vangeli and AN21 have feverishly been working on new material and we are awaiting the release of a new cd.
For now we have his newest track, '
People of the night' to enjoy!
You can catch Max Vangeli Live in Boston at Bijou on May 1st 2012, where you can also find the EDMBoston team on hand to party with!
