max404

max 404 is the pseudonym of Dutch dance producer Erwin Van Moll. Since 1992 he has been releasing internationally acclaimed records on labels such as Eevo Lute Muzique, Djax Records, United Recordings, Evolution / Universal Language Productions Ltd. (the label of Tom Middleton), Lucid Recordings (label of the Amsterdam club Mazzo), Mo Wax and S.S.R. (Freezone).
He has also done remixes for artists such as David Holmes, Kirk Degiorgio, Gert-Jan Bijl (from Sensurreal), Terrace, Sonar Lodge and Rei Harakami. His productions are as musically diverse as his own musical tastes: elements of house, breakbeats, dub, techno, disco and ambient music blend together in an organic, unique sound. The influential U.K. mag Muzik chose his 1995 debut CD album "Love & Mathematics" as album of the month and wrote "This impossibly beautiful album offers 14 slices of emotive excellence".
2003 saw a new explosion of productions from max 404: first off he recorded "Dirty Disco Vol. 1" for the ultra-hip label Eskimo Recordings. Then he did a 12" with fellow Eindhoven-based producer Sonar Lodge called "Celsius" (including a remix from Domu).
And on top of that, he’s part of production duo Clashing Egos (together with his musical partner Jan Vanderlest), with whom he composed and produced records like "It’s in the music" (by Warm), a summer hit in 2001 featuring U.K. singer Kirsty Hawkshaw and in 2003 they produced the critically acclaimed "Funky Feet" (by Jean Winner) single on Eskimo Recordings. Their first Clashing Egos 12" (titled "Love is the Word") was released in April 2003 on the Belgian label Life Enhancing Audio. May 2004 saw the release of their debut album called "Rubicon".
As a DJ, max 404 has played at international clubs / parties such as The End (London), Flow, The Unit and Arches (Glasgow), Beam Hall (Tokyo), Nitsa (Barcelona), Heliopolis festival (Jyvaskyla, Finland), Culture Club (Gent, Belgium) and Café d’Anvers (Antwerp). In Holland, he has played every major club (Chemistry, Waakzaamheid, Now & Wow, Night Town, 013, Tivoli, Mazzo, Melkweg, Winkel van Sinkel, Doornroosje, Stalker, Paradiso, etc.) and is hosts "Sublime", a night at the Eindhoven based club Effenaar.
