Key figure in the global bass scene, Max le Daron is a young DJ and Producer from Brussels who skillfully distils a mix of ghetto music from all around the world, while showing a more specific interest in modern African music.

Since 2008, he’s collected prestigious residencies both in Brussels and Paris and has shared the decks with some of the biggest names of today's electronic and global bass scene all over Europe, Ghana, Uganda and North America (Diplo, Buraka Som Sistema, Steve Aoki, Toddla T, Daniel Haaksman, Djedjotronic, Noisia and Schlachthofbronx, to name but a few). Within a few years, he has managed to establish his reputation and can now pride himself on being supported by some of the godfathers of the scene like Diplo, Toy Selectah, Daniel Haaksman, Toddla T or Dave Nada. Not only has he already released more than 50 tunes (remixes and original tracks) on various music labels (such as Man Recordings (DE), ZZK records (AR), Booty Call Records (FR), Akwaaba Music (GH), Freshmore (US), Pelican Fly (BE) and Lowup Records (BE), but he’s also had the chance to appear in important media such as Mad Decent blog, BBC One, The FADER and OkayAfrica.

Since 2012, he runs his own imprint alongside DJ Mellow and Mr Orange: Lowup Records. Famous for their crazy parties of dangerous nightclubbing, they also run their own weekly radio show on FM Brussel. Following his interest in modern African music, Max le Daron has recently travelled to Accra, Ghana, to record a sound bank for Ghanaian Azonto Producers called « The Roots Of Azonto », in collaboration with the mastermind behind Akwaaba Music: Benjamin Lebrave (BBrave). He’s also had the opportunity to provide them with production masterclasses and the results of these journeys are about to be published very soon. He's now working on the first album of his new band "JOMAAGA" alongside Joey le Soldat (Burkina Faso) and Gan Gah.
