) and started to explore it, then share first OWN simple music to his friends and parents. But this new hobby become so much interesting and took all free time even time to go to school.. Of course, his parents strictly banned this interest and blocked PC with several passwords, but everytime parents are went outdoors, young and clever Maksim somehow hacked all the securities and guess what?.. just continued to compose music and when parents came back home and shouted him from the doorway to "turn off PC right now!!" - first of all Maksim was begging parents to check his new track! Soon parents understood, that is useless to fight against that. And just allow him to do it even they didn't understanding his "teens interests" and never believe that somewhen Maksim can be famous.

He is continued his tries to create something new, everytime it was a global experiment, because he is always had his own view on everything around, so each sound was selected very accurately. But that continuous not so long because school was more important, so he made a choose...

Even it was parents prohibition and misunderstanding, or too much homework and spending time at school, working as a waiter in cafe after school - music was in his mind everywhere he go, 24 hours per day, when falling asleep and waking up..

It was his 17th birthday when he visit his first night club with friends after home birthday party ("4rooms" club in Novosibirsk, Russia). He didn't expect that night will change his life...

Every second spending in the club, every sound Maksim heard there, entourage, people, flashlights, DJ work... THESE ALL made a global revolution inside that young boy! New meaning of life appeared, exact goals, new friends and even the way of thinking changed!! And the most important thing in his life happened... It was the understanding of what he is like to do, understanding himself! It was understanding of just two most important and in the same time - most liked things which are didn't changes for 8 years! The one of these thing was music..

Then dreams began to become true..

2007 - Maksim was moving alone from Novosibirsk to city of his dreams and at the same time city of thousands of opportunities - Saint-Petersburg. In several months Maksim become a DJ (this goal was set in that night birthday party in hometown) - he can absolutely say "I AM A DJ"! These several months was enough to understand what the DJing is exactly and how to do it right with different equipment and how to make the people dance..

2008 - Maksim met a singer, Anna Gurova - girl with whom was made several music projects and "DJ+Singer" live tour to Karelia republic. This collaboration is still active.

2012 - was achieved two goals:

The first goal was the "own record label" - the baby "alliage records" appeared in this electronic world, which was named with preety and french word, meaning the same sound ideas which was in the beginning, in 2004: fusion of different styles, allow to experiments and very accurately selected sound.

And the second goal was "to issue the first music album". 2012-13 New Year he is celebrating with the slogan "la création de nouveaux" ("creating a new" in english) - the name of first EP album by Maksim Katsupi (was released on 250+ world online venues like iTunes, Beatport, eMusic, etc.), one more time confirming the main conception of sound by Maksim Katsupi.
