Epoch
Epoch is a Christchurch-based bass producer and DJ specialising in - as Australian label Modern Hypnosis describes as: “somewhat twisted, hip-hop and grime pervaded, sound system-driven, low end focused, UK inspired club music.”

After receiving early support from Rinse.fm stalwarts Dusk & Blackdown, and US Dubstep ambassador DJ Joe Nice, the Gourmet Beats show staple 'Attraction' saw a seminal 12” release on Innamind Recordings sub-label IMX.

Following this well-received release was a string of Innamind-adjacent projects, including his 2015 album 'Badminded' on Blacklist, a 12” release with Modern Hypnosis, and an appearance on legendary compilation series 'Tempa Allstars Vol. 8' with his production 'The Ville'.

2022 has been a banner-year for Epoch, seeing releases on VIVEK's System Music (with his infamous remix of Headland's 'Garbo'), Alix Perez's 1985 imprint, and Sicaria Sound's cutcross, as well as embarking on a US tour with label-mates Boofy and Kursk.

He has played across the UK, US, and Australia. Blending a range of 140, Grime, Hip Hop, Drill and Soul, Epoch presents his broad musical influences at the forefront of his DJ sets.

New on the scene but falling into it and in love with it fast and hard Max has spent the last few years absorbing a broad range of Bass music amoungst the Auckland and festival scene through which they've been cultivating their style, sound and a deep love of the community.

Max's sound influences come from a range including the Deep Bass of 140, Souring energy of Liquid Dnb and the Rhythmic power of Jungle all the while sprinkling in a twist of something outside the genres to try and create a unique journey every time.
