About Me

Maxim Lany - a true Ghent citizen - quickly discovered that "Music was the answer". At the age of 14 he started to put the diamond to the vinyl, combining his favourite hip hop tracks with some of his parents' old pop records. During the next period his musical taste evolved to House and at the age of 16 he got the chance to display his talents for a variaty of audiences. Obsessed by music Maxim spent all his money on fresh vinyl, leading up to the inevitable mix: making money while flipping some tracks. Becoming a professional DJ at the age of 20 ignited his musical obsession even more. Like any good professional, Maxim immediately took things to the next level, by upgrading the "home parties" and creating "The Sound" with one of his best friends. This blow-out success made them decide to organise this event more frequently and after more than 2 years the project still hasn't lost any of its magic. Continuing to develop, Maxim also became a resident DJ at Café Theatrre, a famous lounge bar in the mediaeval centre of Ghent. After one year he moved on and contributed to CT Vol. I., an album on which he compiled and mixed the songs. He also became a resident at the incredible Pop Life parties, which influenced his musical knowledge a great deal. Stepping up even more, he was offered a spot behind the decks at Decadance, where he became a resident on Fridays and on special occasions. He became a guest DJ at Rendez-Fou and then he started a new monthly concept at Culture Club called "Glamour Lounge". Currently aged 25, Maxim is now resident at Culture Club & Decadance, still organises his own parties such as 'F*ck Lany' (Culture Club), 'You Lucky Bitch' (Decadance) & ‘Distortion’ (Kozzmozz), plays as a guest dj all over Belgium and is working as a producer together with his partner El Carlitto (aka Ramon Tapia). Their first releases 'Elektrified' (2006) and 'Thank God' (2007) already featured on several compilations. Their latest ep. ‘Blackhawk/Expression’ featured on Sharam Jey’s ‘KingKong Rec.’ label in June 2007.Also major gigs: Sensation White 2006/2007 (Antwerp), 10 Days Off 2006, Tomorrowland 2005/2006/2007, Laundry Day 2006/2007,.. just to name a few.
