@max.__gt is someone I’ve come to really look up to, both as a friend and as a reference point for the kind of sound I just love. Especially within the Belgian scene, and more specifically in Ghent, what he and his collective are building feels genuine.
It’s a team that has been working hard on its community, that has had its ups and downs, but kept going out of pure love for the music, the scene and the people. Like Max told me, “this is our lifestyle, this is who we are.”
With two events coming up this weekend, and after hosting a night in Berlin just last month, it felt like the right moment to slow down and talk about where they’re at and how life is looking right now for both of us.
I meet Max at Tuin van Heden, just around the corner from his place, still on the phone talking about one of the events. Honestly, I wouldn’t have expected anything else.

The two events take place in Ghent on Saturday, April 11. The day event will be held at @chinastraat , followed by the afterparty right in the city center at @funke.fu , often described as Ghent’s coziest living room.

This Saturday: hypnotic pulses, deep grooves and magnetic vibrations at Amigo till dawn with Altinbas, Max., Formwandler and Tim Strafinsky.
Excitement is an understatement. Last tickets in bio.
The Berlin dancefloors are never disappointing. Perfect conditions for our first time in the capital!
Thanks @aedenberlin for our first collab with @elata_collective
Max. – Prominent and consistent. A familiar face in Belgium’s underground techno scene who always delivers. An inevitable addition to our next escape. Only a few weeks to go. Capacity is limited. Tickets in bio.
Since beginning his journey in 2015 and exploring various branches of electronic music, Max. eventually discovered his true connection with rolling, hypnotic techno — a sound that resonates with listeners on a deeper, immersive level. He creates an escape from reality by blending organic atmospheres with his signature percussive drive. As a co-founder of Groove Theory, formed together with friends who share the same musical vision, he brings groove and a dedication to pure rhythm to every timeslot he plays in well respected venues across Belgium.
11 APRIL 2026 - NIGHT @funke.fu@hashash.in - Proud to announce that the one that gave a lot to this scene will join us for our line-up during the night. A true fixture of Amsterdam’s underground will give us a mystic voyage through the unknown.
This alongside the highly talented @sira.factor and up- and coming Ghent based artist @luna.temmerman and our resident @max.__gt
Moving shadows, whispering echoes. A shift in energy, and the slow disappearance
of our reality.
On the 4th of April, @altinbas.t , @max.__gt ., @formwandlermusic and @timstrafinsky will conduct the rhythm of the night. Time to escape again.
Tickets in bio.
