Just saw this pop up on Maxim’s FB wall and wanted to share this with you. It’s a nice read:
Life + Times: Electronic music has changed immensely over the past 20 years – especially in accessibility. What would you say have been the pros and cons of that?
Maxim: The pros are it gives kids and people the freedom to write their own music, to express themselves, [and] get their music out quicker – people on Facebook or however. It’s taken out of the hands of the record label. That’s the pros. The cons are you get so much shit out there. (Laughs) Good music always prevails and always comes through. Yeah, you get a lot of rubbish out there. I get sent quite a few tracks through companies and so forth and through friends. I get so much trash, like ‘What is that? What is that?’ to sift through. You get one gem. It’s got its pros and cons. Technology has helped feed the masses, but some rubbish as well.
