With A punk-rock star attitude, Maximus 3000’s unique formula as a spinmaster focuses on the new wave of Vocal Electro-House. Truly one of a kind, and with one goal always at the epicenter of each performance: to please his audience. With a cross section of dark electronic, early rave, soulful house, filtered disco, and techhouse influences; He fuses elements of early 80's, electro, classic breaks and modern house styles in all his sets, always high-energy, unexpected and intriguing, almost as much as his look. From the Petshop Boys to Ladytron to Deee-lite to current wave makers Deadmau5, Kaskade, and Eric Prydz, you’re sure to hear them all in his unique sets.

Both his mixing and production aesthetic stem from a diverse and extensive knowledge of electronica and intelligent dance music, a side affect of frequenting the Goth/underground clubs and touring the early rave scene during his youth. It’s that versatility that’s spawned invitations to headline events for all types of crowds. From sexy high-energy lounges and chic parties to mega dance clubs to Electro Rock bars, Maximus' vocal and electro house beats have always had the power to uplift and dominate the crowds.

Although only 28 years old, Maximus 3000's experience is vast and well recognized. He’s lent his magic touch to signature South Florida venues like Score, Splash, Tantra, Funkshion, Soho Lounge, Deck23 and Boom Nightclub in Fort Lauderdale, just to mention a few. Throughout his career, Maximus has also shared the stage with some of the most prestigious electronic heavy hitters in the biz such as The B-52s, Josh Riptide, Jes of Motorcycle, Fred Schnieder, The Klubjumpers, Mike Mucci, Michael M and Randy Freiss. With this arsenal of experience under his belt it’s no wonder Maximus was asked to take the musical wheel at one of the most highly anticipated and talked about venues in recent times: The Living Room Nightclub in Fort Lauderdale. Slated to have its Grand Opening October 17, 2008 the clubs’ opening night is one not to be missed.

When asked how he feels to have one of the most coveted Residencies in South Florida, Maximus replied “I am truly excited about this project. There is a refreshing and innovative team behind all aspects of this venue, and it is my pleasure to contribute to that movement. Everything about this venue cosmically aligned for everyone involved and I also feel the public is yearning for a much needed ‘Next thing’. The Nightlife scene has become very stagnant and my vow to bring 200% effort to the decks each and every performance is set in stone. The venue to me can only be summed up in two words: Blissful synesthesia. I hope to see each and everyone there!”

2008’s 4th quarter is a hotbed of activity for Maximus. He not only has his residency at Living Room but a slew of side projects involving almost every aspect of the dance music industry. That being said, he has pointed out that one of his goals in the next coming months is to take a more active part in the world around him through his sphere of influence and ties to the music industry.

He’s recently inked a deal to produce New York Based Singer Tania Mashay on a set of Vocal House tracks which are slated to be released on his newly formed 8025 Alliance Music Group. His new record label group is comprised of a contingency of well known Miami-based independent dance labels including Amplitude Recordings headed by DJ/Producer Mike Mucci and Destune Records run by partners DJ/Producer Jorge Ojeda and Jonpito. He also has several remix projects about to drop on the digital market including remixes for Chris Costanzo and Jody Vokus on Distant Drum Recordings, Vanessa Conde on Destune Records, Evolved on Amplitude Recordings, T&A on Slanted Black Records, and several remixes for his currently signed artists including Oren Nizri and Ebonee Excell, Josh Riptide and the New York based Duo Exit 59.

All this is nicely capped off by the sealing of yet another venture joining the newly formed online radio network Dance Mix America as a partner and program director alongside Miami-based favorite Ceevox, and Orlando Radio personality and MC, DJ Jason Jensen. Maximus will be joining the stellar talents of Midnight Society, Saliva Commandos, DJ Paulo, and DJ Pride, among others as a mixshow DJ with his two distinct shows Atomic Sessions and Jack’s Groove (a specialty mixshow of 90’s mashups and throwbacks). And if that wasn’t enough, he will also be a co-hosting two weekly talk/interview shows DMA Artist confidential and I got my education Podcasts which will feature in-depth interviews of some of the biggest and brightest Dance Music Stars in the industry, with his co-hosts Michael M and Jonpito.
