“This is not the warm, fuzzy, uplifting Interchill you think you know. THIS release is all about the DOWNlift.
This is music to accompany the rush of adrenaline as you wait around a dark corner, about to beat someone’s ass.
Music to have in the background while you tell extravagant lies.
Music that doesn’t encourage a pleasant trip while under the influence of psychedelics.
Definitely NOT music to spin up for a sunrise party, unless you’re spinning in a dungeon with vampires.
This is music to kill robots to.”

Dreamcreation – summer issue 2008

Mauxuam – Viceversa [Interchill]
Mauxuam, Maurizio or Mau, whatever you call him will not change the effect his music has on you. His granular modulated music is dipped in wild apple juice and left to oscillate in the wind. Each time you look at these vibrating soundscapes they become more involved and the textures transform continually. Mauxuam’s album is an ever evolving teapot, refilling itself with fresh herbs on every track whilst still retaining the tangy flavours of the previous ones. Kick back, enjoy and be curious.
