Last week, we welcomed Max Porcelli to the Magnetic Magazine family with his track “Lotus,” and the momentum from that release is already impressive. It’s gaining a ton of attention online and in various spaces. To keep this momentum going, we’re highlighting Max slightly differently through the Artists of the Week series.
The focus is on taking over our Artists of the Week playlist, showcasing not only Max’s extensive catalog, with over 70 releases including singles, albums, and remixes but also the music that inspires him and that he plays in his sets.
He’s heavily influenced by legends like Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox, Louis Vega, Mark Knight, and other industry titans. While you can hear these influences in his music, exploring the tracks he’s curated for the playlist is even more exciting.
Follow the playlist to see what he’s been listening to and get weekly updates on the best underground artists in the dance music scene as we continue to highlight some of the hottest talents in the industry.
Will Vance is a professional music producer who has been involved in the industry for the better part of a decade and has been the managing editor at Magnetic Magazine since mid-2022. In that time period, he has published thousands of articles on music production, industry think pieces and educational articles about the music industry. Over the last decade as a professional music producer, Will Vance has also ran multiple successful and highly respected record labels in the industry, including Where The Heart Is Records as well as having launched a new label with a focus on community through Magnetic Magazine. When not running these labels or producing his own music, Vance is likely writing for other top industry sites like Waves or the Hyperbits Masterclass or working on his upcoming book on mindfulness in music production. On the rare chance he's not thinking about music production, he's probably running a game of Dungeons and Dragons with his friends which he has been the dungeon master for for many years.
