Max Gardner

Max's often psychedelic, sometimes suspenseful, always hypnotic range of the techno spectrum has afforded him audiences in cities across the globe. He's performed at clubs like MUTE in Medellín, Leland City Club and The Works in Detroit, RSO in Berlin, and Moog in Barcelona. He’s also held residencies at all the major venues in his home base of San Francisco, including F8, 1015 Folsom, Monarch and 222 Hyde. He is also a return guest at gatherings like OBSERVE in LA and The Great Beyond outside Minneapolis. Max is an originator of the influential Direct to Earth collective as well as a resident throughout its lifetime of 12+ years and counting. A pivotal turning point saw Max launch a label called Peer. He set forth to introduce a techno platform free of superstar ego, prioritizing musical merit over celebrity.
