Max & Intro was a short-lived duo formed by Vincent Max and Intro Johnnie in Belgrade. In 1984 they composed “Ostavi Sve” (in English: “Leave Everything”), probably the greatest ex-Yugoslavian minimal synth song of all times with heavy rotation on radio and even TV appearances. It was a tribute to Fairlight synthesizers, in that time non affordable for these young musicians and became an obsession, especially for Max. In 1985 was published their first and only release “We Design The Future” including “Ostavi Sve” and the B-side “Beogradska Devojka”, another synth gem.

Max Vincent – Beograd [DCM006]

One of the biggest sampling innovators and the pioneer of electronic music in Eastern Europe, Max Vincent initially played in Belgrade’s Max & Intro band. “Beograd” is a lost LP album which consists of 8 previously unreleased tracks made in period 1986-1999 which Max wanted to use in a single concept album. This is ultimately an intriguing album, dark, cloudy, with unpredictable solutions and transitions between rhythm, paths, synth textures, vocals and other layers. One of the records that every fan of the 80s electronic must have.

A lifework compilation of 10 never released songs from 1984-2002 by one of the most innovative synth pioneers in Eastern Europe, Max Vincent, mainly known as Max & Intro. His music will take you deep through the horizonts of unexplored analog synth sounds, human voice and sound effects, providing you with liring recapitulation of various electronic styles. Those who love early Yello, wave, EBM or 80’s synth pop will find this material very seductive, wondering how it happened that they haven’t heard for this music before! A bleak, prophetic and very convincing synthetic dream of future that has designed us.
