NYC’s genre-fluid sonic architect Max Klaw returns not with a whisper—but with a 4×4-engine roar. His new single, SUPERBIKE GETAWAY, is a high-velocity chase through neon-lit backroads, powered by relentless kicks, modulated bass, and the kind of hypnotic swing that only years of chopping Bmore breaks and Amen jungles can teach.

Gone are the detours. This is pure propulsion: a no-nonsense, heads-down tech-house chugger that locks into gear and never lets go. Yet beneath its streamlined surface pulses Max Klaw’s signature detail—textural glitches, warped vocal stabs, and rhythmic tension that rewards close listening even as it commands the dancefloor.

SUPERBIKE GETAWAY is about escape velocity,” Klaw notes. “Not from reality—but into rhythm. Into flow.”

After years weaving bass music, club tools, and visual art into immersive experiences , Max Klaw strips it back to the essentials: four-on-the-floor, one foot on the gas, zero regrets.

A few months ago I shared some tunes with the bad man Dev79 over at Seclusiasis and was lucky enough to get a tune on this release.  Forever being held down by the N.E. I am honored to share space with all these artist on this album.

Some real future ish on this one!  I look forward to a time when I get back to playing live sets of screwed up bass music.  2016 I’m looking at you.

From Seclusiasis:

It’s been about a year since the release of the 160 compilation, and it felt like the right time for the Seclusiasis gang to unleash the second installment of our tempo themed compilation series. And so we bring you – 100 – dropping on Friday Jan 29th!

After much deliberation (and many, many pints) of which BPM to focus on for this volume, Dev79, Starkey and cohort .rar Kelly flipped a coin and had the bartender call it. And thus, 100 was born. Don’t get it twisted – just because we decided on 100bpm does NOT mean this is a twerk related compilation. 100 has no constraints really. The only guideline is for producers to make a track in the 95-105 BPM range. The end result is a full spectrum of electronic sounds – even more varied than the inaugural 160.

From Cali’s CRIMES! opening with a crushing head nod, to World DMC Champ DJ Shiftee joining Philly rapper Bok Nero for the album’s only full vocal song (and a very catchy one at that), to the screwed anti gravity grime of Bass Science and the lurching hypnotic half time vibes of Slagz & Suspect Bitch…just to a name a few, everything here is dope and thick with bass.

And the team is dedicated, they are definitely not letting another year go by before you get the next tempo comp, the 130 edition is right around the corner so keep your ears open!

BUT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW MUSIC THEORY?
ABLETON COOKBOOK  Shares SOME POIGNANT THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT.

I can tell you from experience that music theory, knowing the “right” way to put chords, melodies and rhythms together, has probably prevented me from coming up with as much music as it has enabled me to come up with. Whenever I do something or hear something that sounds “wrong,” I try to fit it into my little theoretical system. If it doesn’t fit, I disregard it, or I make up some exception to the rule.
