Max Kilian is a Dutch DJ and producer from Hilversum whose sound centres on minimal, techy house with heavy grooves and organic textures. After studying at the Herman Brood Academy, he spent roughly two years working almost exclusively in the studio to develop a new direction - no releases, no shows. That period paid off: his debut EP 'Freaks' landed on Lee Foss' Repopulate Mars in early 2026, and artists such as Mau P and The Martinez Brothers had already taken notice of his work.
