Max Graham returns to the Broadcast! Someone once called Max Graham's rise to
fame "meteoric". From 2001-2004 he went from local to international through a couple of lucky breaks and years of hard work. Although born in the UK, Max began his career in an unlikely house music city: Ottawa, Canada. Max and his friends created a small Sunday night party which, through hard work turned into the legendary Atomic nightclub. This residency (from 1995 through 1999) paved the way for Max's diverse sound,
inspired by the Sasha-esque progressive music of the time. It was at this venue that he honed his skills with weekly 6-hour sets. After gaining attention in eastern Canada, Max decided it was time to take things to the next level and he subsequently relocated to Vancouver to write music. During this period, from late 1999 to 2001, Max wrote the hit songs that put his career into overdrive: Airtight, Tell You, Barnone, Shoreline
and remixes such as Bullit's - Cried to Dream , just to name a few. Some of Max's original songs were chosen to grace the mix CDs of the best in the business, including Tiesto and former tour-mate Paul Oakenfold. Airtight held the coveted #1 spot on the influential Balance Record Pool chart and was nominated for a Juno Award - the Canadian version of the Grammy - in 2001. After gaining recognition as a producer, Max was asked to remix tracks for acts such as Delerium and Uberzone as well as for reputable record labels like Hooj Choons. It was these songs that helped gain the attention of some of the biggest industry players. Max was offered a monthly residency at the world famous UK club Gatecrasher; he was regularly flown from Canada to Sheffield to open for Paul van Dyk and others. In addition to renowned clubs vying for Max's turntable time, Paul Oakenfold promptly called and offered Max tour dates as
well as gigs in the world's clubbing capital, Ibiza. Although it was his original material that first got Max noticed, his diverse style, coupled with unique mixing and scratching performances, has been instrumental in impressing the masses on a global scale. His successes became evident when in 2001 Max was voted #23 in the world in DJMag's Top
100 DJs poll, the highest new entry that year. This poll, which is based strictly on public votes, is considered the most prestigious and accurate gauge of a DJ's popularity. Max has not left the top 100 since 2001. Max has logged almost one million air miles with regular gigs in Asia, Australia, Europe and residencies with Spundae in Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 2003 Max created his own night - SHINE - which consists of 8
and 10 hour sets in Toronto and Montréal respectively. Gaining momentum since its inception, the SHINE concept, complete with visuals and décor, draws people from other Canadian cities and even the US. Max's career has truly come full circle as SHINE also makes a monthly stop in his old hometown of Ottawa, where it all began. In 2004 Max has already toured over 50 dates for his new mix CD Shine ,released his first single on his new label Shinemusic, and has produced new tracks that are being played by industry leader Sander Kleinenberg, Grammy award winners Deep Dish, and BBC Radio One's Pete Tong.

Perry O'Neil returns to the Broadcast! How do you know if someone is really talented when there are so many ways to define it? When it comes to making music and playing DJ-sets judging 'talent' is personal, like everything that has something to do with creativity. If you are an agent or an A&R manager, it takes a good sense of what may be successful to put faith in a talented person. Armada has found its new star. Meet Dutch DJ/producer Perry O' Neil, Perry is a 26 years old Dutch guy. Spontaneous, cheerful and somewhat curious like many people of his age. He is the rising star at Armada, the record company that aims high with Perry. Armada heard O' Neil's first
productions in the beginning of 2003 and signed the first tunes a couple of months later to the record division. David Lewis, partner in Armada, got caught by the unique sound in both Perry's productions and DJ sets so he wanted to work with him as a DJ as well. Although Perry has not released a lot so far, several of his tracks already have been played by DJ's like Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Markus Schulz, Matt Hardwick and Ben Lost. Perry O' Neil is one of those guys who has been spinning for years and
years, always dreaming of the day on which he would stand in front of thousands of people that came to see him in particular. There were times that he hesitated about the sense of continuing to pursuit a dream that seemed to hard to realize, but then he was always reminded by himself of his undying love for dancemusic. Then came the interest of Armada in his productions. The style of Perry O' Neil differed from the most other demo's they receive daily and under guidance of Armada Perry succeeded in
delivering improved tracks. No wonder his first release on St. John vs Locust (A State of Trance) was a success.

But what is that unique sound Perry O' Neil masters? Perry himself describes it as progressive melodic house. Perry: "It is not really trance the way Tiësto and Armin van Buuren play it. My sound is a mixture of different elements of different styles. I like melodic repeating lines, and you can easily hear the tribal influences in my tracks. I always try to put a certain energy in the track, like a kicking bassline or a break that is full of tension which builds up to a climax. During the break I like to see the
audience with its eyes closed, lifting off from the dancefloor, only to return when the climax is there. In general you could say I am fond of progressive melodic house." Perry, modest as he is, knows that there is a long way to go but there is a lot of confidence in himself as well. Perry: "If you really want to achieve something, you have to give everything you have to chase that dream. Now that I have that opportunity to build on my career in music, I will capture it with both hands." A career both in producing and DJ-ing that is, for Perry likes the both of them equally. "In both I can put al my creativity and to judge on the reactions of the crowd and the people on internet I am
getting better in what I do each day. However, I will always keep both feet
firmly on the ground." Being down-to-earth is a quality of character Maykel Piron of Armada appreciates in Perry. No wonder he likes to work with him. Maykel: "Perry has a good ear for music and he is straight forward. Therefore we have asked him to do A&R work for our Electronic Elements label. Whether a demo is sent by a famous producer or a talent, Perry gives his honest opinion. We are glad to have him with us."For Perry himself the most important thing in life is to live it in the most joyful way possible. Perry: "That positive approach of life is something you must have if you want to be a good DJ. No one likes a DJ who has obviously no fun in what he is doing." And Perry certainly shows he is having fun when he is behind the decks. An attitude that, combined with his undeniable talent, may very well make him the next Dutch star.
