the heavy rotation, the seventeen that define the page: Solomun · Vintage Culture · Notre Dame · Adam Ten · Mita Gami · Max Styler · AYYBO · TOBEHONEST · PAWSA · Volkoder · Mau P · Michael Bibi · ANOTR · HUGEL · Chris Lake · Broken Hill · Tripolism · everyone else orbits these.

next up in the rotation: Rafael · JØRD · Brunello · Bonafique · Panic Chase · Angelo Ferreri · Gabss · Millero · NO STATIC · Darco · Luch · Toman

the gdb pipeline

AYYBO, anaheim's own, runs GDB out of los angeles, and the bench runs deep: Gabss, JATO, N2N, IVRISH, POLOVICH, DEDRO, with Millero on remix duty. when your most-played artist is also signing your next favorite, the algorithm didn't find them. you did. label > algorithm.

the nu moda pipeline

Max Styler launched Nu Moda in october 2025 and made it home for his own records. the bench: kryptogram, Greggio, Knorst, Jonathan, DvirNuns, Viot, WELKER. the co-signs live here too: Vintage Culture and Notre Dame on You & Me, Solomun on One More.

the solid grooves crew

Michael Bibi and PAWSA ran Solid Grooves as a london party before it was ever a label, and the label came in 2015. bibi put the party on, PAWSA minded the music. the bench since: Dennis Cruz, ANOTR, Ben Sterling, Toman, Kolter, Discip, Josh Butler, plus AYYBO on 4 Ya Mind. summers belong to DC-10, the casino nights in ibiza.

the minimal wave

one sound, a lot of passports. Chris Stassy and Toman out of amsterdam, M-High doing a&r for PIV, Kolter in cologne, Sidney Charles gone hamburg to berlin to lisbon, Beltran flying the flag for southern brazil, Josh Baker and Max Dean holding it down for manchester and london. rolling basslines, boutique labels, zero big-room nonsense.

the israeli wave

Adam Ten, Mita Gami, Rafael, Yamagucci, Toni B, OMRI., Mishell, Niv Ast and a dozen more. the maccabi house orbit out of tel aviv, where melodic groove got its passport renewed.

the legends

Green Velvet, Mike Dunn, Deep Dish, Armand Van Helden, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, and the king himself, Solomun. respect the foundation or leave the building.

the melodic heavyweights

ARTBAT, Anyma, Adriatique, Bedouin, Monolink, Black Coffee. for when the night needs a narrative arc.

the sunshine committee

Yuksek, The Magician, Purple Disco Machine, Horse Meat Disco, Satin Jackets, Poolside. the daytime cabinet. someone has to govern the rooftop.

the mainstage crossover

Mau P, Dom Dolla, FISHER, John Summit, Chris Lake. the tech house that clawed out of the sweaty club and onto the festival main stage without losing the bounce. proof the big room can still have taste.

why this existsthe story
the story

why this exists

groovesmaxxing started the way every good obsession does: one person sending way too many songs to the group chat. the playlists got long. the follows got longer. eventually "you have to hear this" needed a bigger room than a text thread. so here we are.

the rules are simple. fun first. this page exists because sharing music you love is one of life's genuinely great feelings, and for no other reason. zero budget. everything here runs on free tools and stubbornness. no pay-to-play. no ads, no sponsors, nobody sliding into the inbox to buy a slot. if a track is here, it's because it slaps. lowercase forever. corporate never.

what that adds up to: new releases filtered down every friday so you don't have to dig, live sets that actually earn their runtime, artist deep-dives on the people who define the sound, and the contraband: edits, bootlegs and unreleased heat that never touches a streaming service. consider this your friend with permanent aux privileges.
