Maxwell Implosion

After many years of heavy DJing all over Europe and the USA Torsten Heller a.k.a. The Maxwell Implosion has finally finished his long awaited debut album "Small Circle Of Friends"! Release: April 22 on Bungalow / Labels / Virgin

Even before the release of his first album he already gained a remarkable popularity as producer of elegant breakbeat- and housetunes. He already remixed international acts as diverse as Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five (both Japan), Kenickie (UK), Peter Thomas, Baden Powell, The Mojo-Club or Jazzkantine (Germany). His uncountable DJ shows with acts like Dimitri From Paris, Sukia, Cardigans, Kojak, Supa DJ Dimitri, Whirlpool Productions, Towa Tei got him an international following (even Madonna asked for his DJ-talents this year on her Berlin-After-Show-Party). Earlier productions on essential compilations such as "Dope On Plastic" (React), "Red, Hot & Lounge" (Polydor) or "New Testament Of Funk" (Unique) were just a hint of what The Maxwell Implosion is capable of.

And now: "Small Circle Of Friends", an album that surprises at first sight: The Maxwell Implosion has left his dancefloor-friendly sounds to produce one of the most beautiful and well arranged downbeat albums of recent times: It’s pure LOVER‘S ROCK! (in the Jamaican sense..., there are also two dub songs on the album). The perfect soundtrack to relaxed afterhours. The sound is definitely "NOW!" but his influences vary from Softrock to Jazz, Funk, Dub and Bossa Nova.

It is an incredibly smooth album full of warm sounds and melodies done by a music lover for lovers of all kinds. The Maxwell Implosion takes us on a stylish trip into the land of good taste, where every instrument and tone is placed where it belongs. "Small Circle Of Friends" embodies empathy, sovereignty and an inner calmness and ...every groove tells a little story.
