Happy to know that the guys liked my vision of this track. When making the remix I tried not to change it completely but only to highlight its uniqueness. I was fascinated by the atmosphere and depth of this track. What is it about Lea Porcelain’s “Pool Song” that first captured your imagination? And this was a key step for music to become my profession. My first release was back in 2009 was called the Elastic EP, with four tracks in it. I started making electronic music in 1999, when I was 13 years old. 650 contest participants - this is a lot of people, and it’s really cool to be the winner. This win is very unexpected and heartwarming. Honestly, I still do not realize how lucky I am.
We caught up with Max to discuss his winning remix of Lea Porcelain’s “Pool Song,” and to find out more about the scene in Ukraine.Ĭongratulations on winning the Beatport x Grand Theft Auto Online remix contest! How do you feel? He’s released numerous EPs and singles on labels from around the world, earning support from the likes of Troy Pierce, Anthony Parasole, Timo Maas, Agaric, Cio D’or, and PoleFolder in the process. And in 2018 he launched his own PLLL festival, named for the record label and audio school he established the year prior. He was a finalist in Ukraine’s 2017 Burn Residency. He won a 2011 remix competition with his rendition of Robert Miles’ “Th1rt3en,” which was then featured on the album deluxe edition and “Th1rt3en” remixes package. Max’s sound has so far carried him far and wide.
By 1999, when he was just 13 years old, he was already producing his own tracks, and after many years of fine-tuning his influences eventually developed his own sound, which he says captures “a wide spectrum of emotional, atmospheric content.” Hailing from Dnipro, Ukraine, Max Pollyul began his journey to becoming a DJ, producer, label owner and winner of the Grand Theft Auto Online remix competition at an early age, as he intuitively gravitated towards electronic music as a small child.
