A DJ, producer and radio host, Maxim Lany has become synonymous with the one-of-a-kind, larger-than-life sound he’s been championing in his DJ sets and productions.
Having honed his sound for over a decade, Lany’s international breakthrough came in 2019 when Armin van Buuren and Maykel Piron’s label Armada Music released his single ‘Renaissance’. Praised by Mixmag and supported by the likes of David Guetta, Solomun, Kölsch and Tale Of Us, ‘Renaissance’ became one of the year’s biggest hits. To date, the track has accumulated more than 2.5 million streams, capturing the imagination of audiences across the globe.
Follow-up releases ‘People Of The Night’, ‘Coming’ and ‘Closer’ quickly became fan favourites, further cementing the Ghent native’s studio credibility. Productions aside, Lany has played Tomorrowland, Extrema Outdoor, WeCanDance, World Club Dome, Kompass and Fuse Brussels, and he has done memorable livestreams from the tarmac of the Brussels Airport and the historic Tower in Ghent.
2020 saw the launch of his weekly Friday night residency at Belgium’s highly regarded public radio, Studio Brussel, which accumulated 37 episodes in less than a year.
In August 2021 Lany released his debut album ‘Closer, You’re Not Alone’ via Armada. Focusing heavily on vocals and experimenting with different genres, the LP reflected Lany’s feelings during lockdown and his hopes for a positive world where people can dance together again.
With several dance music releases and more high-profile festivals and club gigs on the horizon, Lany is set to continue his meteoric rise in the international dance music scene.
